My messages from a previous session are not persisted on reconnect

[stevemolloy]

Current Behavior

I suspect this is a misconfiguration of my profrc, but I'm not sure. Hopefully someone here can advise.

Profanity works as expected during a single session, with my messages appearing as they should. However when I disconnect and reconnect (for example when I leave work and reconnect from home), any messages that I have posted disappear from the chat. Messages by everyone else in the room are still present.

I can confirm that my messages are all present when I connect with a different client (pidgin).

Expected Behavior

I would expect profanity to show my messages, as well as those of others, after reconnecting.

Steps to Reproduce (for bugs)

1. Connect to the network
2. Chat
3. Close the profanity application and restart
4. My messages are gone

This feature is called MUC MAM and is not implemented yet. It is being worked on here: #1862
And possibly is finished in the next couple of weeks.

[stevemolloy]

Thanks for the fast reply. Looking forward to the new feature :)

I think we might do a fresh release right after this feature got merged. Since many people probably would appreciate to have it. And we originally planned to have it in 0.14.0 anyways.
