- Last seen indicator now spans the full conversation, with subtle
shadow highlights above and below
- Scrollbars now overlap the content of the conversation, allowing last
seen indicator to touch the right edge of the window.
- The iOS and Android conversation background is now #eee instead of
white, which meant that the outgoing messages (Android) and incoming
messages (iOS) had to be updated for contrast. They now have white
backgrounds.
- Similarly, the scroll down button needed more contrast, and its
background is now white in light themes.

* Show a pointer cursor on safety number change notification
* Add 'click to verify' to the text shown there
* Add ':' to the text shown on the safety number screen
* Limit the width of the safety number box, to force 3x4 layout
* Center the safety number box
FREEBIE
This is to ensure that when there are a lot of unread messages, the user
is given the chance to see all of them by being scrolled to the oldest
new message.
When a new message comes in, the indicator will be incremented.
When the user sends a message or switches away from the conversation,
the last seen indicator will be removed.
FREEBIE
Add names and sizes for all attachments except images, and (as with
arbitrary attachments), clicking on the text will open a save dialog.
In the absence of a filename, choose something that makes sense.
Display different icons for different media types, including distinct icons
for voice notes and audio files.
In iOS theme, audio, video, voice, and files are all encapsulated in bubbles.

// FREEBIE
Make arbitrary files look nicer and display the filename.
If an audio or video element fails to load for any reason, timeout after
a few seconds and render it as an arbitrary file. Also short circuit to
this treatment for common audio and video file types that we know are
going to fail, e.g., proprietary formats from apple.
// FREEBIE
When initialized, or when expiration-related attributes change, expiring
messages will set timers to self-destruct. On self-destruct they trigger
'expired' events so that frontend listeners can clean up any collections
and views referencing them.
At startup, load all messages pending expiration so they can start their
timers even if they haven't been loaded in the frontend yet.
Todo: Remove expired conversation snippets from the left pane.
Previously we only declared the message body as selectable, but Chrome's
implementation of user-select is a little quirky in that it allows
unselectable text to be copied if you select elements around it. Oddly
enough, styling the entire bubble contents as selectable, including the
timestamp, actually prevents chrome from copying the timestamp text when
it's not supposed to, i.e., when triple-clicking the message body.
Fixes#887

Move away from inline style attributes for setting contact colors.
Apply colors by name via css classes instead. Also lays groundwork
for syncing contact colors.
// FREEBIE
The bar is effectively invisible, but having it present means that we
don't see a jarring change in width when the content expands into the
overflow zone and triggers the scrollbar to suddenly appear.
// FREEBIE
For messages that failed to send due to network errors, this change
allows retrying them directly from the main conversation view rather
than only from the message detail view.
// FREEBIE
Move the global header inside the left pane only, expand conversation
panels to full bleed, restyle conversation list items and selected state.
// FREEBIE
Untangle these two views into their component parts, consolidating all
the key conflict logic in the key conflict view. Contact view now simply
renders basic contact info and miscellaneous errors but not conflicts or
message errors.
// FREEBIE
Some basic modifications to the Confirmation Dialog:
* Always attached to <body> regardless of view that called it.
* Always centered horizontally on screen.
* A black semi-transparent overlay is now displayed over everything, and under
the dialog.
* Various other style changes.

Chrome's UA stylesheet defaults font-family to monospace on textareas.
The only other textarea at the moment is the debug log, where monospace
is actually nice to have since it's more scannable.
// FREEBIE
Messages with images or media were causing the scroll position to jump
around when they loaded, because rendering them changed the height of their
elements from 0 to full-height sometime after they were inserted into
the DOM.
Now when rendering attachments, we wait for them to load so they can
render at full height immediately, then warn our parent message list
before and after a potential height change, so the scroll position can
be saved and reset.
// FREEBIE
Only load the most recent messages when initially rendering a
conversation. Scrolling to the top of a message list loads older
messages.
This required some slight refactoring of how we insert message elements
into the dom. If the message is added to the end of the collection,
append it at the end. Otherwise, assume it is an older message and
prepend it.
When adding elements to the top, reset the scrollPosition to its
previous distance from scrollHeight. This keeps the current set of
elements fixed in the viewport.
// FREEBIE
Bubbles are limited to 30em to facilitate comfortable reading length.
The width of the message list is limited to aid visual threading
of the conversation. The overall layout is restricted to 1300px and
centered if the window is much wider.
The header avatar resizes responsively to save room when the window
gets narrow
// FREEBIE
Change how message errors are rendered. Errors associated with a number
will be shown under that number in the detail view rather than piling up
in the message bubble.
// FREEBIE
This will change the text color of outgoing links from blue
to gray to increase the contrast to the background color of the
outgoing message bubble. Also, the text selection color of these
links will be the same as for normal text.
This will change the text color and the background color of selected
text in outgoing messages to make the selection more noticeable.
::selection and ::-moz-selection have to be seperated into two
selectors because browsers will ignore selectors with partially
unknown syntax.
Makes the groupupdate and recipient input fields stick to the top,
restyles the typeahead as a floating dropdown list of suggestions
rather than a full width component, fixes group avatar thumbnail
rendering.
// FREEBIE
Establishes basic functionality for viewing conversations in two column
mode, including message area and message list resizing, and maintaining
scroll position.
Various subviews need to be retooled but are more or less still
functional, i.e., new message, message detail, key verification, etc...
* Fix a css bug preventing bottom bar from sticking to the bottom.
* Resize discussion container as a function of the overall window
height. The previous difference-based method gives the wrong result
when the window height changes but the bottom-bar height stays the
same.
// FREEBIE
On the conversations list, if the last message is too long, cut it with ellipsis (...) instead of going out of the screen.
On the single conversation view, if the message in the bubble contains a word that is longer than a bubble, break it anyway instead of going out of the screen.
Clicking on a key conflict message opens the message detail view,
which displays the contact(s) in this conversation. If the message
contains a key conflict with any of these contacts, a button is
displayed which attempts to resolve that conflict and any other
conflicts in the conversation that are related to that contact.
