Automatic tests of scripting API are made with Python scripts:
- unparse.py: convert Python code to other languages
- testapigen.py: generate scripts in all languages to test the API
- testapi.py scripting API tests
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.
The syntax is: ${cutscr:max,suffix,string}.
The string is cut after max chars displayed on screen. If the string is cut,
the optional suffix is added after.
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.
