The option "localvar" (introduced long time ago, in WeeChat 0.3.0) is still
recognized by WeeChat, to stay compatible with any extension/script calling
it (or referencing it in the documentation).
It is deprecated and will be removed in a future release.
In addition to searching the statically configured WEECHAT_LIBDIR
(weechat's installation directory) for plugins, search the path
given in the environment variable WEECHAT_EXTRA_LIBDIR. This makes
departing from the FHS standard while keeping the plugins packaged
separately easier. This change was made specifically with the Nix
package manager in mind, but can easily be used by others.
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 and bugs fixed:

- free movement of cursor: new command /cursor, new key context "cursor"
- new hook_focus (used by cursor and mouse)

This commit introduces major changes in 256 colors support:
