MUC: Don't default room name to JID localpart (API breaking change) Behavior with turning empty name into localpart was originally introduced in 711eb5bf94b4 This has caused some problems for clients, making it difficult to differentiate between a room actually named like the localpart from a room without a name. Breaking: The function signature of the :get_name() method changes from always returning a string to optional string.

This file documents the structure of the roster object.

table roster {
  [string bare_jid] = roster_item
}

table roster_item {
  string subscription = "none" | "to" | "from" | "both"
  string name = Opaque string set by client. (optional)
  set groups = a set of opaque strings set by the client
  boolean ask = nil | "subscribe" - a value of true indicates subscription is pending
}

The roster is available as
 hosts[host].sessions[username].roster
and a copy is made to session.roster for all sessions.

All modifications to a roster should be done through the rostermanager.
