Do not update blist buddy names, but set an alias instead to prevent breaking conversations or loosing history. Instead, keep the first print name as permanent user name
and set the alias on all buddy name changes. When interacting with purple always use the original buddy name stored in the blist instead of the print name provided by libpurple.
This allows both, meaningful names in group chats and permanent identifiers in the buddy list, while still propagating names changes to the interface.
Use print names instead of ids as usernames, to fix problems with "useless" user ids showing up for unknown users and in group chats. Remove workarounds like "Telegram Foreign" needed to temporarily store user names for alias resolution.
This should fix issue where left chats show up in the blist and cannot be removed anymore and broken Adium bookmarks.
This patch should make the whole chat handling much more native to libpurple, in which chats are added through the chatlist,
the join-chat window or automatically when incoming messages are received. Add a new option "Add chats to buddy list" in
case anyone wants the old behavior.
The user should be able to just add buddies to the buddy list without any further side effects, especially
considering you now need to add any user not in the dialog list if you want him to show up.
Load full chat info lazily, prevents useless network request and should fix issues with delays through flood errors when handling big amounts of user chats. Handle chat participant deletions and additions correctly and only touch the user list when it is actually updated, this should fix some issues with printing annoying messages in Finch and users not showing up in the buddy list in certain situations. Only add chats to buddy list that are actively joined or receive incoming message, which should help keeping the buddy list more tidy when using much chats.
Only add buddies that are on the dialogue list or were explicitly added by the user, to prevent adding non-related users that are now allocated due to protocol updates.
