- SàT can now handle components
- plugin have now a "modes" key in PLUGIN_INFO where they declare if they can be used with clients and or components. They default to be client only.
- components are really similar to clients, but with some changes in behaviour:
* component has "entry point", which is a special plugin with a componentStart method, which is called just after component is connected
* trigger end with a different suffixes (e.g. profileConnected vs profileConnectedComponent), so a plugin which manage both clients and components can have different workflow
* for clients, only triggers of plugins handling client mode are launched
* for components, only triggers of plugins needed in dependencies are launched. They all must handle component mode.
* component have a sendHistory attribute (False by default) which can be set to True to allow saving sent messages into history
* for convenience, "client" is still used in method even if it can now be a component
* a new "component" boolean attribute tells if we have a component or a client
* components have to add themselve Message protocol
* roster and presence protocols are not added for components
* component default port is 5347 (which is Prosody's default port)
- asyncCreateProfile has been renamed for profileCreate, both to follow new naming convention and to prepare the transition to fully asynchronous bridge
- createProfile has a new "component" attribute. When used to create a component, it must be set to a component entry point
- jp: added --component argument to profile/create
- disconnect bridge method is now asynchronous, this way frontends can know when disconnection is finished
- new PI_* constants for PLUGIN_INFO values (not used everywhere yet)
- client/component connection workflow has been moved to their classes instead of being a host methods
- host.messageSend is now client.sendMessage, and former client.sendMessage is now client.sendMessageData.
- identities are now handled in client.identities list, so it can be updated dynamically by plugins (in the future, frontends should be able to update them too through bridge)
- profileConnecting* profileConnected* profileDisconnected* and getHandler now all use client instead of profile
- messageSend trigger now use pre_xml_treatments so it doesn't block other triggers of higher priority
- text commands now use a very high priority, as it is local command and should not be blocked in most of cases
- new otrState signal, to send state change to frontends
- history is not skipped anymore, a future option may change this behaviour
- OTR trigger are skipped on groupchat messages
- context_manager is now in client instead of being global to plugin
- removed fixPotr as it is fixed upstream
note triggers should be improved for encryption methods, as skipping an encrypter may break security, but putting it in top priority may break nice features.
fix bug 170
at the end it adds complications to handle XEP-0245 in backend (because edge cases must be handled: info type with group chat, history when message is info but for a group chat, etc) while it's trivial to handle it in frontend.
So /me detection is handled in QuickFrontend and cmd_me is back into plugin_misc_text_commands, it is the choice of the frontend to display or not the "/me" (for frontends based on QuickFrontend it remains automatic).
- bridge methods/signals now all start with "muc" to follow new convention
- internal method use client instead of profile to follow new convention
- removed excetpions from plugin XEP-0045 in favor of core.exceptions, NotReady added
- cleaned/simplified several part of the code. checkClient removed as it is not needed anymore
- self.clients map removed, muc data are now stored directly in client
- getRoomEntityNick and getRoomNicksOfUsers are removed as they don't look sane.
/!\ This break all room game plugins for the moment
- use of uuid4 instead of uuid1 for getUniqueName, as host ID and current time are used for uuid1
/!\ several features are temporarily disabled, like notifications in frontends
next step in refactoring, with the following changes:
- jp: updated jp message to follow changes in backend/bridge
- jp: added --lang, --subject, --subject_lang, and --type options to jp message + fixed unicode handling for jid
- quick_frontend (QuickApp, QuickChat):
- follow backend changes
- refactored chat, message are now handled in OrderedDict and uid are kept so they can be updated
- Message and Occupant classes handle metadata, so frontend just have to display them
- Primitivus (Chat):
- follow backend/QuickFrontend changes
- info & standard messages are handled in the same MessageWidget class
- improved/simplified handling of messages, removed update() method
- user joined/left messages are merged when next to each other
- a separator is shown when message is received while widget is out of focus, so user can quickly see the new messages
- affiliation/role are shown (in a basic way for now) in occupants panel
- removed "/me" messages handling, as it will be done by a backend plugin
- message language is displayed when available (only one language per message for now)
- fixed :history and :search commands
- core (constants): new constants for messages type, XML namespace, entity type
- core: *Message methods renamed to follow new code sytle (e.g. sendMessageToBridge => messageSendToBridge)
- core (messages handling): fixed handling of language
- core (messages handling): mes_data['from'] and ['to'] are now jid.JID
- core (core.xmpp): reorganised message methods, added getNick() method to client.roster
- plugin text commands: fixed plugin and adapted to new messages behaviour. client is now used in arguments instead of profile
- plugins: added information for cancellation reason in CancelError calls
- plugin XEP-0045: various improvments, but this plugin still need work:
- trigger is used to avoid message already handled by the plugin to be handled a second time
- changed the way to handle history, the last message from DB is checked and we request only messages since this one, in seconds (thanks Poezio folks :))
- subject reception is waited before sending the roomJoined signal, this way we are sure that everything including history is ready
- cmd_* method now follow the new convention with client instead of profile
- roomUserJoined and roomUserLeft messages are removed, the events are now handled with info message with a "ROOM_USER_JOINED" info subtype
- probably other forgotten stuffs :p
/!\ database schema has been modified, do a backup before updating
message have been refactored, here are the main changes:
- languages are now handled
- all messages have an uid (internal to SàT)
- message updating is anticipated
- subject is now first class
- new naming scheme is used newMessage => messageNew, getHistory => historyGet, sendMessage => messageSend
- minimal compatibility refactoring in quick_frontend/Primitivus, better refactoring should follow
- threads handling
- delayed messages are saved into history
- info messages may also be saved in history (e.g. to keep track of people joining/leaving a room)
- duplicate messages should be avoided
- historyGet return messages in right order, no need to sort again
- plugins have been updated to follow new features, some of them need to be reworked (e.g. OTR)
- XEP-0203 (Delayed Delivery) is now fully handled in core, the plugin just handle disco and creation of a delay element
- /!\ jp and Libervia are currently broken, as some features of Primitivus
It has been put in one huge commit to avoid breaking messaging between changes.
This is the main part of message refactoring, other commits will follow to take profit of the new features/behaviour.
- _contextValid check if a method can be called in this context, according to docstring declaration
- use it to parse results in /help command
- use it avoid use of command in wrong context, and help message is sent in this case
/!\ not finished, everything is still instable !
- bridge: DBus bridge has been modified to allow blocking call to be called in the same way as asynchronous calls
- bridge: calls with a callback and no errback are now possible, default errback log the error
- constants: removed hack to manage presence without OrderedDict, as an OrderedDict like class has been implemented in Libervia
- core: getLastResource has been removed and replaced by getMainResource (there is a global better management of resources)
- various style improvments: use of constants when possible, fixed variable overlaps, import of module instead of direct class import
- frontends: printInfo and printMessage methods in (Quick)Chat are more generic (use of extra instead of timestamp)
- frontends: bridge creation and option parsing (command line arguments) are now specified by the frontend in QuickApp __init__
- frontends: ProfileManager manage a more complete plug sequence (some stuff formerly manage in contact_list have moved to ProfileManager)
- quick_frontend (quick_widgets): QuickWidgetsManager is now iterable (all widgets are then returned), or can return an iterator on a specific class (return all widgets of this class) with getWidgets
- frontends: tools.jid can now be used in Pyjamas, with some care
- frontends (XMLUI): profile is now managed
- core (memory): big improvment on entities cache management (and specially resource management)
- core (params/exceptions): added PermissionError
- various fixes and improvments, check diff for more details
- better separation of message sending actions
- use of more generic exceptions to hook the behaviour (SkipHistory and CancelError)
- use of raise instead of return
- use of failure.trap
- registerTextCommands can be called by a plugin in its __init__ method, it looks for methods starting with "cmd_" and register them as new commands
- addWhoIsCb: add a callback to /whois command, the callback can complete whois informations
- plugins parrot, XEP-0045 and XEP-0092 now manage their own commands
- commands can now return a deferred
- if commands return True, message is sent, else it is cancelled
- the escape sequence is now '//' instead of '\/'
- added software version to /whois command
- _() is no more installed in __builtin__
- instead, there is a new sat.core.i18n module
- added D_() method for deferred translation
- languageSwitch method allow to dynamically change translation language
- import gettext is tested against ImportError, and dummy methods are used when not available (mainly useful for Libervia)
- treaments deferred can be used by plugins to change XML elements before sending them, in a similar way as for newMessage
- sendMessageXml trigger became useless, so it as been removed in favor of the new deferred
- /parrot command add parrot link between the current entity/room and the entity given as an argument (must be a valid jid)
- similarly, /unparrot remove the 2 links between those entities.
- Parrot is a new dependency of text commands
