Breaking Changes

The default persistent store, set via the persistent_store,
is now IndexedDB. This main advantage of using IndexedDB is that it doesn't
have a fixed size limit. We don't provide a tool to migrate data from
localStorage to IndexedDB. For almost all data this is not a problem since
the data can be fetched again from the XMPP server. However,
decrypted OMEMO messages cannot be fetched again from the server, since the
double ratchet makes it impossible to again decrypt them. This means your
decrypted OMEMO history will be lost in the transition.

The afterMessageBodyTransformed and beforeMessageBodyTransformed events now has a different signatures.
When leaving a MUC, the message history is deleted. This means that decrypted
OMEMO messages are gone and cannot be recovered on that device. See muc_clear_messages_on_leave.

Removed events:

• bookmarkViewsInitialized
• chatBoxInsertedIntoDOM
• contactStatusMessageChanged
• messageSend (use sendMessage instead)
• rosterGroupsFetched

The chatBoxClosed, chatBoxMaximized and chatBoxMinimized events now have the model as
payload and not the view.

The api.chatviews and api.roomviews API groupings and methods have been
removed. The original "views" don't really exist anymore, the UI is now composed web
components which should update reactively based on changes made on the models.
