(max) bar size was described to be in chars, though this only applies to the left/right bars. This change clarifies that top/bottom bars would have their size defined in lines.
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 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 features and bugs fixed:
- mouse support: new command /mouse, new option weechat.look.mouse, new key context "mouse"
- free movement of cursor: new command /cursor, new key context "cursor"
- new hook_focus (used by cursor and mouse)
- info "cursor_mode"
- bugs fixed with key "^"
- allow plugin name in /buffer name
- fix bugs with bar windows: do not create bar windows for hidden bars
- fix completion bug when two words for completion are equal but with different case
- automatic scroll direction in /bar scroll (x/y is now optional)
New features:
- add optional hdata name for variables in hdata
- add plugin API functions: hdata_get_var_hdata
- use hashtable to store hdata (created by WeeChat and plugins)
- free hdata and infolists created by plugin on plugin unload
- free all hdata on exit
- add "free" option to command /debug hdata
- remove hdata for hooks
