- Added support for returning group conversations
- Added support for conversation type filtering
- Added support for NO favourites, or ONLY favourites restrictions.
- Removed the reordering code from helper::get_conversation_messages()
- Added unit test confirming sort param behaviour for the
api::get_conversations_messages() method.
- The get_conversation_messages has been added to the API and the WS
with the conversation identifier (convid) instead of the userto,
to let get conversation messages and the members involved.
- The cache has been also reviewed, to use the convid instead of the
[userfrom, userto] keys.
- The get_most_recent_conversation_messages has been added to the API
to update the cache when needed.
The aim is to use this to standardise the member information we return
from several methods in the API, such as get_conversations,
get_conversation_messages, get_conversation_members, and in search
methods.
Also deprecated the following functions -
1. message_move_userfrom_unread2read - It is not necessary
for us to mark a message as read on user deletion.
2. message_get_blocked_users - Horrible logic used to
determine if a user is blocked via reference on some
randomly chosen 'isblocked' variable.
3. message_get_contacts - The same as above. This can be
done in a much nicer way.
4. message_mark_message_read - We want two functions to do
this to avoid confusing messages and notifications.
5. message_can_delete_message - This assumed the variable
$message contained the 'useridto' property, which
was present in the old table structure. We do not want
future usages where a query is done on the new table
and is simply passed as this won't contain this property.
6. message_delete_message - Same as above.
- No longer use the Fibonacci sequence for delaying the timeout.
It is too aggressive.
- The backoff_timer AMD module now expects the callback AND the
backoff function to be passed to the constructor.
- Added ability to specify polling frequency in config.php.
- Added helper function to return the cache key.
- Reworded the parameters for clarity.
Remove the HTML tags from any message in the message area when updating
the last message on the contact otherwise the styling breaks and also
allows <script> tags to be added to the page.
