This adds the 2016 emoji as well as support for using SVG images instead of PNGs.
It also fixes a number of incorrectly categorized emoji and other minor issues.
Upgrade Rake task for Gemojione 3.0.0 and generate sprites.
Upgrade aliases.json by pulling down index.json from the gemojione repository and running the generate_aliases.rb file.
Changelog: https://github.com/jonathanwiesel/gemojione/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md#v301-2016-07-16
For the specific emoji added to the Unicode standard, see: http://emojione.com/releases/2.2.4/
Huge kudos to Jonathan Wiesel (@jonathanwiesel) for his work on the gemojione gem!
No reason to split it into a separate gem when the gem barely did anything. We can use gemojione directly, making updating gemojione that much easier.
Also fix the Rake task and update gemojione to 2.6.1. This adds the EmojiOne Spring update.
Changelog: https://github.com/jonathanwiesel/gemojione/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md
By pre-calculating the digests we can manually construct the emoji URLs,
removing the need for using Rails' asset URL helpers. The reason we
don't want to use these helpers for Emojis is two-fold:
1. Rails' image_url() method is slow, really slow. For one it _might_
have to calculate digests but it also performs a lot of other
intensive operations (judging by the source code and based on
measuring timings).
2. We have a lot of Emoji which coupled with the above can result in it
taking minutes to load Emoji autocomplete data.
Using this pre-calculation setup generating the digests takes around 7
seconds (including the time it takes to start Rails/Rake), and only
around 600 milliseconds to load _all_ the autocomplete data of a project
(measured locally).
This commit _does_ change the Emoji URLs from absolute to relative URLs
as these are much easier to generate.
To update the Emoji data simply run:
rake gemojione:digests
Then commit any changes.

This task will generate a standard and Retina sprite of all of the
current Gemojione Emojis, with the accompanying SCSS map.
It will not appear in `rake -T` output, and the dependent gems are not
included in the Gemfile by default, because this task will only be
needed occasionally.
