With this function, buffer properties are set when the buffer is created and
can be read immediately by other plugins/scripts, for example in a callback of
signal "buffer_opened".
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 protocol is partial, under development, and NOT ready for usage.
New options added in relay.conf:
- relay.network.allowed_ips: allow only some IPs on relay plugin (by default
all IPs are allowed)
- relay.network.compression_level: compression level used in WeeChat protocol
(compression is made using zlib)
Major changes in Relay plugin:
- IRC proxy feature (beta),
- raw buffer.
Changes in IRC plugin:
- add tags for messages sent to servers,
- add signal "irc_input_send" to simulate text/command on an IRC buffer,
