    💥 Breaking changes

    🔧 The debug configuration option has been replaced with loglevel.

    In contrast to sessionStorage and localStorage, IndexedDB is an asynchronous database.
    🔀 A lot of code that relied on database access to be synchronous had to be
    ⚡️ updated to work with asynchronous access via promises.

    👍 In order to add support for XEP-0156, the XMPP connection needs to be created
    🌲 only once we know the JID of the user that's logging in. This means that the
    📄 connectionInitialized
    🔌 event now fires much later than before. Plugins that rely on connectionInitialized
    ⚡️ being triggered before the user's JID has been provided will need to be updated.

    The following API methods now return promises:

    • _converse.api.chats.get
    • _converse.api.chats.create
    • _converse.api.rooms.get
    • _converse.api.rooms.create

    - _converse.api.roomviews.close

    🔄 Changes the events:

    • The chatBoxInitialized event now triggers when a _converse.ChatBox (not the view) is opened.
    • Renamed the old chatBoxInitialized to chatBoxViewInitialized and trigger only for ChatBoxView instances.
    • Renamed chatRoomOpened event to chatRoomViewInitialized

    - The order of certain events have now changed: statusInitialized is now triggered after initialized and connected and reconnected.

    _converse.api.chats.get() now only returns one-on-one chats, not the control box or headline notifications.

    The show_only_online_users setting has been removed.

    _converse.api.alert.show is now _converse.api.show and instead of taking
    an integer for the type, "info", "warn" or "error" should be passed in.

    🔌 The converse-headline plugin has been split up into converse-headlines and converse-headlines-view.
