0.7.0 (2013-11-13)

Important:

This release includes support for Off-the-record encryption. For this to work, your browser needs a CSPRNG (Cryptographically secure pseudorandom number generator).

Internet Explorer less than version 11 doesn't have one at all, neither does older versions of Firefox.

If you need to support older browsers, please download the latest release from the 0.6 branch.

Features:

• Add a toolbar to the chat boxes [jcbrand]
• Add support for OTR (off-the-record) encryption [jcbrand]
• Add support for smileys [jcbrand]
• Simplified boilerplate markup [jcbrand]
• New configuration settings, xhr_custom_status_url and xhr_user_search_url [jcbrand]

Note:
This release introduces a backward incompatible change. The boilerplate HTML needed in your webpage for converse.js to work has been reduced to a single div:

<div id="conversejs"></div>

Bugfixes:

• #58 Contact's name gets replaced with their JID [jcbrand]
• #81 Requesting contacts appear as pending contacts [jcbrand]
