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).
There was a bug with "num_displayed" in buffers when they are merged and
that one buffer is zoomed: now the num_displayed is > 0 for the active buffer,
and it is set to 0 for all merged non-active buffers (only in case of zoom).
A variable "zoomed" has been added in buffers to know if a buffer with this
number is zoomed or not (possibly another buffer).
The buffer property "highlight_tags" is renamed to "highlight_tags_restrict".
New behavior for buffer property "highlight_tags": force highlight on tags.
Option irc.look.highlight_tags is renamed to irc.look.highlight_tags_restrict.
The logical "and" is made with the separator "+".
Example: "irc_notice+nick_toto,nick_test"
will match a notice from nick "toto" or any message from nick "test".
New option: weechat.look.buffer_auto_renumber, boolean which is on by
default, so the behavior is the same: no gap is allowed in numbers,
they start at number 1 and they are auto-renumbered after each command
like /buffer move, /buffer merge, ...
A new option "renumber" has been added in command /buffer, to renumber
a range of buffers (or all).
Changes when the option weechat.look.buffer_auto_renumber is off:
- command "/buffer move":
- the current number will be left free for use, and the
target number can be any number >= 1 (possibly higher than the
current last buffer number)
- the value can be "-" (which moves the buffer to number 1)
or "+" (which moves the buffer to the end, ie last number + 1)
- command "/buffer swap":
- now the buffers are swapped in the list without being "moved"
- comand "/buffer [+/-]N":
- it is now working with gaps in buffer numbers
- command "/buffer merge":
- it can now merge a group of merged buffers into another buffer
(or buffers merged themselves)
- layout can restore buffer numbers with gaps in numbers
