- 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
- 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
/!\ 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.
/!\ 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
- _() 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
onMessage now use a deferred which is passed to MessageReceived trigger through the post_treat parameter. This can be used by plugins to add deferred in the callback chain.
- new "options" parameter to send chat states
- plugin command export: messages without body are now delivered (since all the chat states other than "active" need them)
