new development release

new development release of the chatroom is now up:

http://drupal.org/node/70707/release

big, nasty, next generation code - 2947 lines changed.

do not use this yet on a production site, because it may eat your site and kill your kittens.

you have been warned.

new features, which are pretty much all under the hood:

• much code clean up
• chats are now nodes, and posting a message to a chat should honour the node access settings for the node. hello OG integration
• all cache misses use the menu system
• we now pay attention to the latest message on the client side, which is the only way that is sane, and avoid problems related to ajax requests passing each other over the wire
• ability for modules to get at messages before they are saved via drupal_alter
• ability for modules to react to a message being save via a hook_chat_msg_saved()

i'd appreciate anyone who can have a play with it and feed me bugs and feature requests.
