Option relay.network.compression_level is renamed to relay.network.compression
and is now a percentage between 0 (no compression) to 100 (best compression,
slowest).
Compression is now disabled by default in weechat protocol and must be enabled
via the `handshake` command (option `compression` has been removed from `init`
command).
New options to customize behavior on signals received, with the default
behavior:
- weechat.signal.sighup: quit in normal mode, reload config in headless
- weechat.signal.sigquit: quit
- weechat.signal.sigterm: quit
- weechat.signal.sigusr1: no command executed by default
- weechat.signal.sigusr2: no command executed by default
The signals SIGUSR1 and SIGUSR2 are introduced by this commit, so it's now
possible to run commands when they are received.
The SIGHUP signal makes now WeeChat quit, it was the behavior before version
2.9 of WeeChat (see commit de1e61f7cd).
In addition to searching the statically configured WEECHAT_LIBDIR
(weechat's installation directory) for plugins, search the path
given in the environment variable WEECHAT_EXTRA_LIBDIR. This makes
departing from the FHS standard while keeping the plugins packaged
separately easier. This change was made specifically with the Nix
package manager in mind, but can easily be used by others.
This pointer is the first argument received by callbacks, and the
existing argument "data" is now automatically freed by WeeChat when the
object containing the callback is removed.
With this new pointer, the linked list of callbacks in scripts has been
removed. This will improve speed of scripts (using a lot of hooks),
reduce memory used by scripts and reduce time to unload scripts.
Following functions are affected in the C API:
* exec_on_files
* config_new
* config_new_section
* config_new_option
* hook_command
* hook_command_run
* hook_timer
* hook_fd
* hook_process
* hook_process_hashtable
* hook_connect
* hook_print
* hook_signal
* hook_hsignal
* hook_config
* hook_completion
* hook_modifier
* hook_info
* hook_info_hashtable
* hook_infolist
* hook_hdata
* hook_focus
* unhook_all_plugin
* buffer_new
* bar_item_new
* upgrade_new
* upgrade_read
A symbolic link weechat-curses -> weechat is now created (by both cmake and
configure), so that the /upgrade will work from an old version.
However, if you upgrade from an old version, it is recommended to force the use
of the new binary name with the command: `/upgrade /path/to/weechat` (replace
the path accordingly).
