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 server option "autojoin_delay" adds a delay before autojoin.
The server option "command_delay" is now used to add a delay before the
execution of the command.
On upgrade from an old version, the option "command_delay" is copied to
"autojoin_delay" (in old versions, "command_delay" was applied after the
execution of command and before the autojoin).
Two new fields are added in IRC server structure:
- "authentication_method", possible values:
0: not authenticated
1: authenticated with SASL
2: authenticated with other method
- "sasl_mechanism_used", possible values: see enum t_irc_sasl_mechanism
in src/plugins/irc/irc-sasl.h
Now the autojoin is made only one time, until the server buffer is closed.
A new flag `autojoin_done` is added to know whether the autojoin has already
been done or not on the server. It is set to 1 on first autojoin, and reset to
0 only if the server buffer is closed.
The flag `reconnect_join` is removed, because it is now obsolete.
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.
