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
The problem happened when doing "/script load script.py" if the scripts list
has not been downloaded (with "/script update"): WeeChat displays that python
plugin is not loaded (which is wrong).
New option script.scripts.autoload, new options autoload/noautoload/toggleautoload
for command /script, new action "A" (meta-A) on script buffer (toggle autoload).
A size of 32 will use a little more memory but will reduce collisions in key
hashs, and then length of linked lists inside hash structure (faster search in
hashtable).
New options:
- script.look.diff_command
- script.look.diff_color
Key alt-d has been changed to alt-v on script buffer (view script).
Key alt-d is now used on detail of script to jump to diff (if diff is displayed).
