Changes and features

• Upgrade to the latest versions of XEP-0424 and XEP-0425 (Message Retraction and Message Moderation).
  Converse loses the ability to retract or moderate messages in the older format,
  so you might need to upgrade your XMPP server's implementation of these as well.
• Embed the Spotify player for links to Spotify tracks. New config option embed_3rd_party_media_players.
• Add support for XEP-0191 Blocking Command
• Upgrade to Bootstrap 5
• Add an occupants filter to the MUC sidebar
• Change contacts filter to rename the anachronistic Online state to Available.
• Enable reuse_scram_keys by default.
• New loadEmojis hook, to customize emojis at runtime.
• Add new themes Cyberpunk and Nordic and remove the old Concord theme.
• Improved accessibility.
• New "getOccupantActionButtons" hook, so that plugins can add actions on MUC occupants.
• Update the "Add MUC" modal to add validation and to allow specifying only the MUC name and not the whole address.
• MUC occupants badges: displays short labels, with full label as title.
• New config option stanza_timeout
• New config option lazy_load_vcards
• New config option enable_roster_versioning
• New config option rtl_langs for specifying languages for which
  Converse's UI should be shown in right-to-left order.

Default config changes

• Make fullscreen the default view_mode.
• Set auto_register_muc_nickname default to 'unregister' so that your
  nickname is automatically registered with a MUC upon entering and
  unregistered upon explicitly leaving the MUC (by closing it).
• The allow_non_roster_messaging setting now defaults to true.

Breaking changes:

• Removed the autocomplete_add_contact config setting. Auto-complete is now always enabled.
• Remove the old _converse.BootstrapModal in favor of _converse.BaseModal which is a web component.
• The connection is no longer available on the _converse object. Instead, use api.connection.get().
• Add a new exports attribute on the _converse object which is meant for
  providing access for 3rd party plugins to code (e.g. classes) from
  converse.js. Some classes that were on the _converse object, like
  CustomElement are not on _converse.exports.
• The windowStateChanged event has been removed. If you used it, rely on the
  visibilitychange event on document instead.
• api.modal.create no longer takes a class, instead it takes the name of a custom DOM element.
• getAssignableRoles and getAssignableAffiliations are no longer on the _converse object, but on the Occupant instance.
• Removed the chatBoxFocused and chatBoxBlurred events.
• Changed the signature of the api.contacts.add API method.
• The deprecated API method api.settings.update has been removed. Use
  api.settings.extend instead.
• Removed the default_state config option.
