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
New features:
- new command /logger
- log level, to log only some messages, according to importance (task #8592)
- level by buffer: custom level for some buffers (or group of buffers)
- log filename mask by buffer (or group of buffers)
- marker line is added after display of backlog
- add "delete" callback for config file sections
- add "mkdir_parents" function to plugin API
- remove old log options in IRC plugin
Bug fix:
- marker line is set only when user switches buffer (not when a plugin force
switch, like IRC plugin does when opening server or channel buffer)
- backlog fixed (sometimes lines were not properly displayed)
