The id is a "long long" variable with the current time (microseconds
precision).
It is guaranteed to be unique for all groups and nicks inside the buffer, and
the same number is never used again in the same buffer, during the lifetime of
the process.
It persists and is unchanged after `/upgrade`.
The id is a "long long" variable with the current time (microseconds
precision).
It is guaranteed to be unique for all buffers, and the same number is never
used again, during the lifetime of the process.
It persists and is unchanged after `/upgrade`.
For buffers with formatted content, the "id" starts to 0 on each buffer and is
incremented on each new line displayed (it is reset to 0 if reaching INT_MAX).
For buffers with free content, the "id" is set to the same value as "y" (ie the
line number, starting to 0).
New options in command /input:
- hotlist_remove_buffer
- hotlist_restore_buffer
- hotlist_restore_all
New keys:
- alt+h, alt+c: clear the whole hotlist (former key: alt+h)
- alt+h, alt+m: mark the current buffer as read by removing it from the hotlist
- alt+h, alt+r: restore latest hotlist removed in the current buffer
- alt+h, alt+shift+R: restore latest hotlist removed in all buffers
The option "localvar" (introduced long time ago, in WeeChat 0.3.0) is still
recognized by WeeChat, to stay compatible with any extension/script calling
it (or referencing it in the documentation).
It is deprecated and will be removed in a future release.
The bar item "buffer_nicklist_count" is now the number of displayed nicks
only (not groups).
New bar items:
- "buffer_nicklist_count_groups": number of groups displayed
- "buffer_nicklist_count_all": number of nicks and groups displayed
This allows the input callback function for a buffer to receive multiple
lines at once, instead of the message being split on newline before
being sent to the callback. It adds a new flag, input_multiline, to
control this. This flag defaults to 0 which is the current behavior.
The default value is 0 (legacy behavior).
When it is set to 1, an empty input (just by pressing Return with nothing in
input) is sent to the input callback, which receives an empty string.
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 flag "closing" has been added in buffers. It is set to 1 when the buffer
is closing, and then no more printf is allowed in the buffer (a message
printed on relay buffer was causing a crash when it is closed).
