+These are pinned copies of the upstream data files that
+`tools/gen-emoji-data.py` compiles into ZoiteChat's emoji picker catalog
+at build time. Bundling them means every ZoiteChat package exposes the
+same emoji, names, categories and search keywords, independent of the
+GTK runtime version or the emoji data a distribution installs under
+`/usr/share/gtk-3.0/emoji`.
+
+Nothing here affects what is sent over IRC: the picker inserts plain
+Unicode sequences. Official builds register the bundled Noto Color Emoji
+font privately for consistent rendering, while preserving platform font
+fallback if registration is unavailable.

+# Bundled emoji font
+
+`NotoColorEmoji.ttf` reports Noto Color Emoji version 2.051 and covers
+Unicode Emoji 17.0. It is vendored from Debian's
+`fonts-noto-color-emoji` 2.051 package, built from the corresponding
+Google Noto Emoji release.
+
+Every GTK build installs this exact file: Windows (installer and portable
+build files), AppImage, Flatpak and native Meson/RPM builds. It is loaded
+into a private Pango/FreeType font map as `ZoiteChat Emoji`; an older system
+Noto font cannot replace it. No font is installed globally on Windows.
+
+Chat windows and the emoji picker share this map. Fontconfig still loads
+system fonts and configuration for ordinary text, and the configured text
+font, size and style remain in effect. In particular, plain digits, `#`
+and `*` are not assigned emoji metrics.
+
+Windows uses the same FreeType backend rather than GDI registration or an
+OS-version-specific picker. The dependency bundle already ships FreeType,
+Fontconfig and PangoFT2. This rendering path does not require Windows' native
+color-font support. Actual Windows 7 execution still needs testing on that OS.
+
+Meson requires PangoFT2 >= 1.44 and Fontconfig >= 2.13. Normal installations
+load `share/fonts/zoitechat/NotoColorEmoji.ttf` beneath the configured data
+directory; Windows resolves it relative to the executable. AppImage sets
+`ZOITECHAT_EMOJI_FONT` to its own copy. For an uninstalled development build:
+
+```sh
+ZOITECHAT_EMOJI_FONT="$PWD/data/fonts/NotoColorEmoji.ttf" build/src/fe-gtk/zoitechat
+```
+
+A missing/unloadable file logs a warning and retains system-font fallback.
+CI verifies the installed copy and tests catalog/font coverage; AppImage and
+Windows also run the interactive picker regression tests. Native themes,
+DPI and different Pango/Cairo versions can still affect pixel-level output.

 ZoiteChat ChangeLog
 =================

+2.19.1 (2026-09-15)
+-------------------
+
+- Fixed ``/msg`` messages showing twice on servers using IRCv3 ``echo-message``.
+- Fixed escaping a leading command slash so ``//text`` sends ``/text`` as normal chat.
+- Fixed automatic away clearing when sending messages on servers using ``echo-message``.
+- Fixed other users' away status not updating until rejoining a channel when ``away-notify`` updates are missed.
+- Fixed private messages and ``/me`` actions being routed to the wrong window when using WeeChat's IRC relay, while preserving channel ACTION routing.
+- Fixed a Flatpak startup error caused by the D-Bus service still using the old HexChat app ID.
+- Fixed optional Windows 10 theme downloads in the Windows installer.
+- Fixed the GTK warning when switching from channel tabs to the channel tree.
+- Fixed GTK3 theme archive root detection so themes with an ``index.theme`` file are preferred correctly.
+- Fixed source-build configuration when plugin AppStream metadata installation is disabled, and corrected the minimum Meson version to 0.59.

+# Optional Python asyncio integration
+
+`run_async(coroutine, context=None, interval=10)` returns an AsyncTask with
+`done()`, `cancel()` and `result()`. Each invocation owns a separate event loop
+pumped by an existing main-loop timer. A ready stop callback ensures selector
+polling never blocks the UI. The captured context is restored after every pump;
+a closed context cancels the work. No process-wide event-loop policy is changed.
+
+Existing synchronous scripts are unaffected. Use `asyncio.get_running_loop()`
+inside the coroutine. Child tasks use the same loop/context and are cancelled
+when the main coroutine finishes or the script unloads. Cancellation cleanup is
+bounded; tasks must not suppress cancellation indefinitely. Cleanup uses the
+captured context while it remains open; after it closes, cancellation cleanup uses
+the current valid context. Use explicit Context methods for context-specific
+output in finally blocks, and do not issue context-dependent commands there. This provides normal
+asyncio sockets/timers, not Windows subprocess support or a new HTTP library.
+Asyncio hostname resolution can use its executor; use a resolver appropriate to
+your library if you require no worker threads. Blocking work inside a coroutine
+still blocks the client and must be avoided.

+# Script-supported capabilities

+`register_capability(name, userdata=None, connection_id=None)` returns a normal
+hook handle. Register before connecting/reconnecting. Core requests the name only
+if advertised in CAP LS or CAP NEW. Existing built-in requests remain enabled;
+SASL and STS registration is rejected so scripts cannot change authentication or
+transport policy through this API. None/-1 means any connection (zero is a valid
+connection ID). Names are lowercase ASCII alphanumerics plus - . / _, 1-200 bytes.
+Duplicate registrations do not duplicate requests for an advertised token.
+
+`unhook(handle)` or script/plugin unload removes future request ownership. It
+intentionally does not disable a capability already acknowledged on a live
+connection, because another plugin/core may depend on it. Registering after CAP
+LS does not retrospectively negotiate an already-advertised capability: reconnect
+or wait for CAP NEW. Core retains ownership of CAP END; this API does not extend
+SASL waiting or delay registration awaiting plugin-only CAP ACKs.
+
+`hook_capability(name, callback, userdata=None, priority=PRI_NORM)` independently
+observes negotiation through existing raw CAP hooks. Callback receives
+`(CapabilityEvent, userdata)` with name, subcommand, value, enabled, context and
+connection_id. LS/NEW mean advertised (`enabled=None`), ACK/LIST mean enabled
+(unless a negative ACK), NAK means rejected and DEL means removed. Callback
+returns are ignored so this observer cannot eat core negotiation. Existing raw

+# Optional plugin API additions (discussion #144)
+
+Existing hooks, callbacks, return values, context lookup, strings and menu behaviour
+remain unchanged. The C plugin function table gains four fixed append-only slots;
+unused slots are NULL. Older binaries use the unchanged prefix. A plugin must check
+the documented get_info() feature key before accessing a new slot on an older host.
+New Python modules are installed by Meson and the existing Windows copy/installer
+pipeline. Only modules present in the installation are exported; imports of
+zoitechat, hexchat and xchat retain their compatibility aliases.
+
+All APIs run on the client main thread unless explicitly documented otherwise.
+New reserved flags must be zero. These changes do not make old API calls thread-safe.
+
+Nested hook dispatch defers deleted-hook reclamation until its outermost return,
+so new observers can safely emit events and unhook themselves or other hooks.
+
+The optional asyncio module requires Python 3.7 or newer; older supported
+interpreters skip that module and retain the existing scripting API.
+
+Python reload drops the script/API modules while retaining the embedding module
+so callback and lib.ph pointer types keep the same CFFI identity.
+
+Server-hook insertion matches both raw and attrs hooks so documented priorities
+are honoured for mixed registrations, including new filtered attrs callbacks.

+Callbacks receive `(event, userdata)`, where the immutable IRCEvent has
+command, prefix, nick, user, host, params, context, connection_id and time.

+command (including client state updates), not just its text. Use EAT_NONE for
+observation. Other plugins' priority and eating rules remain unchanged.
+The context is the core-selected context, which can be the server tab when a
+query/channel does not yet exist. QUIT is one event per incoming command,
+not one callback per affected channel. `event.time` is the existing server-time

+return True to retain the watch and False/None to remove it. Exceptions print a
+traceback and remove the watch. Unloading the script removes its watches.

+# Post-display print observers
+
+Python: `hook_print_after(name, callback, userdata=None, priority=PRI_NORM)`.
+The callback is `(word, word_eol, userdata, attrs)`, matching hook_print_attrs().
+It runs after display_event() has handled the text, so prnt() follows the original
+text. Return values are ignored. Events eaten by a pre-hook or hidden by client
+preferences do not invoke these observers. This is post-display notification,
+not a notification that the entire incoming IRC command has finished updating state.
+
+C: `zoitechat_hook_print_after(ph, name, priority, flags, callback, userdata)`;
+flags must be zero. Check `get_info("api_hook_print_after")` for "1" before
+accessing the appended Windows function-table slot. Existing pre-hook timing is
+unchanged. Unhook/unload use existing lifecycle functions. Recursive emission
+skips an already-running observer to prevent it immediately invoking itself.
+
+```python
+def after(word, word_eol, userdata, attrs):
+    zoitechat.prnt('This follows the original channel message')
+
+zoitechat.hook_print_after('Channel Message', after)
