This reverts commit 1df1903d230c4f8dbd0876b8bbc3454aa1af389c.
This is not so easy to implement: it requires saving state of plugins, and
plugins like irc can not save the connected state (except in a real upgrade
case where the sockets are still valid after exec of the new binary).
These two formats are now supported, if "pointer_name" is present in the
"pointers" hashtable:
* "${pointer_name}": value of pointer (example: "0x1234abcd")
* ${buffer[pointer_name].full_name}: use of a pointer name instead of pointer
value or list name
New options to customize behavior on signals received, with the default
behavior:
- weechat.signal.sighup: quit in normal mode, reload config in headless
- weechat.signal.sigquit: quit
- weechat.signal.sigterm: quit
- weechat.signal.sigusr1: no command executed by default
- weechat.signal.sigusr2: no command executed by default
The signals SIGUSR1 and SIGUSR2 are introduced by this commit, so it's now
possible to run commands when they are received.
The SIGHUP signal makes now WeeChat quit, it was the behavior before version
2.9 of WeeChat (see commit de1e61f7cd50cbd1a99777fe6611642a51abf5f6).
The command is used to read the passphrase on startup, for example using your
favorite password manager.
Note: only the passphrase is read from the program, the secured data is still
stored encrypted in sec.conf and handled by WeeChat itself.
Now a single -d in command /eval shows less debug messages than previous
versions.
To get the same debug messages than previous versions, two -d must be used.
The option "localvar" (introduced long time ago, in WeeChat 0.3.0) is still
recognized by WeeChat, to stay compatible with any extension/script calling
it (or referencing it in the documentation).
It is deprecated and will be removed in a future release.
The extra variables are now replaced (in addition to `$server`, `$channel` and
`$nick`):
- `${irc_server.xxx}`: variable xxx in server
- `${irc_channel.xxx}`: variable xxx in channel
