Formes like Hoopa-Unbound would previously default their nickname
to "Hoopa-Unbound". Their default nicknames are now "Hoopa", matching
in-game names.
Our data structures now intentionally leave set.name blank to mean
"default nickname". Older teams are "unaffected", although Nickname
Clause makes the final nickname "Hoopa" anyway.
Fixes#92
In addition to format folders, we now support regular folders that
behave as you'd expect. These folders even map to actual
directories in the downloadable client!
Folders are delimited by `/` in team names in all storage formats
(including export, and packed saving), and are stored in the
`.folder` field of team objects.
Because of this, `/` is no longer an acceptable character in team
names. This improves interoperability with teams and filesystems,
so we should probably have done this anyway.
I also added back a friendly message to the top of the teambuilder.
Default backgrounds are still left-aligned, mainly for Horizon and
Waterfall which are designed for their left side to be visible, but
custom backgrounds are now centered on the assumption that that's
what most users want.
When loading a background, we use Color Thief to get a six-color
palette from the image, for use on the main menu buttons.
Only hue and lightness are extracted.

Backgrounds are now stored in localStorage in the current origin,
rather than the prefs origin. This allows faster loading, as well
as different backgrounds for different origins, which other
servers should like since it means their backgrounds get seen
at least once before possibly being replaced.
Special thanks to Joim for the base code.
Replays can now be downloaded into .html files.
The .html files mainly contain replay log data; the actual replay
player is downloaded online. Also included is a textual log and
some minimal CSS to make it look pretty, for offline viewing.
This strategy helps keep the replay file reasonably small; of
the 30 KB or so for a 50-turn battle, around 10 KB is the log
data, and around 20 KB is the textual log.
Data (teams and prefs) are now always stored in localStorage in the
`https://play.pokemonshowdown.com` origin. Data storage at a low
level has been mostly rewritten for this, and moved to storage.js.
Tools.prefs has been renamed Storage.prefs, although the API
Tools.prefs(prefName) is still available, and recommended for
battle.js (because storage.js isn't available in replays). All
other pref functionality, such as setting prefs and saving prefs,
should only be used in Storage.prefs.
If the browser blocks third-party cookies in a detectable way,
data is instead stored in the local origin.
As a final safety measure, prefs/teams are mirrored in the local origin
in case third-party cookies are blocked in an undetectable way.
This refactor also replaces the 'init:loadprefs' and 'init:loadteams'
events with a new load tracking system that's basically a simplified
implementation of Promises, documented in the comments for
Tools.makeLoadTracker().
Packed teams are not currently considered an officially supported
team format, but since they're now stored in localStorage for
long-term, we'll need to support them long-term, anyway.
This is currently mostly for debugging purposes.
Adds two spaces to the end of each line generated by the teambuilder's
text output. This makes it possible to:
- Copy and Paste a team into a site that uses a Markdown parser such
as Github or reddit without worrying about formatting; and
- Copy and Paste a team from one of the aforementioned sites back
into Showdown with no effort aside from the Ctrl-C and Ctrl-V.
This is a major refactor that changes the teambuilder to store
teams in packed format whenever possible, for approximately 50%
less memory usage for team storage.
The only visible change here is that pokemon nicknames have been
replaced with pokemon icons in the teambuilder team list, to
match the team selector in the main menu, which simplifies
extracting information from packed teams.
