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.

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.

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.

This makes the "x" in the search bar always visible when there is
text in the search box, even if the mouse is not hovering, hopefully
making for a clearer UI around search and resolving issue #741
The implementation adds the "x.svg" as a background image to the search
box when it is classed with .active, in addition to the
-webkit-search-cancel-button, which is still there for the actual
functionality but only appears on mouse hover (one tiny snag is that
coloring appears slightly different on hover, at least on my screen -
don't know if this is a problem).
I accounted for both ltr and rtl text-direction by using
getComputedStyle(...).direction to detect from the input's dir="auto"
- if there's a more elegant way to do this, please suggest. An ideal
solution would use the :dir pseudo-class but it's not implemented
in Chrome yet - https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/:dir
For now, I added the direction-checking to inbox_view.js. I see that
input.search is also used in new_group_update_view.js and
recipient_input_view.js but neither of these views seem to be in use (?)
and they don't set the .active class anyway, so I ignored them.
Update: Amended version a few hours later - fixed and manually tested
color and spacing for iOS and Android Dark themes. Also made some new
SASS variables to make things DRYer and fixed my tab size.
Handles the edge case where images in the Install steps can obscure the text below them at certain window dimensions.
In most cases, it's not possible to replicate this behavior due to minimum dimension settings in `chromium.js`. However, some window managers (such as i3) can ignore those settings, producing this bug.
This fix introduces a flexible, responsive layout to the Install steps, with the goal of keeping the action buttons in a consistent position while adapting the rest of the content to the remaining available space. The result is a clean, usable screen at any window size.
In the rare instance that a window's dimensions are less than that of the minimums set in `chromium.js`, scrollbars will appear to keep the smallest acceptable layout intact.
Potential side effects:
- Each `.step` element contains an`.inner` flexbox wrapper, which arranges its children in a column. The layout works best when each `flex-item` is an element that wraps the content inside of it. I think I accounted for all the possibilities on the Install screen, but any future `.step` items might want to keep that pattern in mind.

Adding the class `.text-security` to the body element will (should) turn
all names, phone numbers, and message bodies into unreadable squares.
Nice to have when you want to screenshot without leaking too much info.
Note that emojis and images are not obscured.
This isn't fully baked or exposed as a feature. You have manually
inspect and tweak the DOM to enable it, but I leave it here for the
benefit of devs and other "frequent flyers" of our issue tracker.

* Fixes hourglasses
* Fix delivered status icon
* Other changes aiming for more consistency of visual structure
between light and dark themes.
* Restores left pane header focus/transition effect.
This breaks the css-purity of our mixin but is necessary in order to
apply the initial offset of the hourglass animation dynamically, since
jquery can't manipulate arbitrary css on psuedo elements.
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.

- Fixed text alignment in RTL messages.
- Added support for search box.
- Added support for conversation name.
- Added support for contact name.
- Added support for last message timestamp and last message preview.
//FREEBIE
Add a section under settings for performing a contact sync from your
mobile device. This just re-runs the same import operation that occurs
at install/link time.
// 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.

This flow broke a bit with transition to modal debug log.
Restructure such that the loading class can be applied to an appropriate
element inside the modal. Ensure that the input elements are hidden when
submit is clicked, the result elements are shown when the log upload is
completed.
// FREEBIE
The button for the conversation menu was rendering on top of the global
menu since the global menu was part of a position-fixed element and thus
except from the normal document flow.

Chrome's UA stylesheet defaults font-family to monospace on textareas.
The only other textarea at the moment is the debug log, where monospace

Remove the 1px gray border around the window. This allows to the window to integrate seamlessly with custom window managers which use the background color for the titlebar.
While typing a number, the new contact element is faded out. When the
number becomes valid it is opaque. If the element is clicked while
invalid, it displays 'Invalid number' and waits for the input to change
again. A new conversation is only opened if the number is valid.
// FREEBIE
The file input area has a transparent border. When a file is dragged
above that area, the border turns blue. This helps the user understand
that this is the correct drop-off area.
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

Styled the conversation list items so that:
- Timestamp is on the same line as the name
- The message text on an unread conversation is ligher than the rest of
the text
Resolves: #379
Using the search field produces a filtered view of all contacts and
groups containing the input. To make this fast and scalable, add an
index on a 'tokens' array containing words from the conversation name
and different forms of phone number.

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
