Ability to register new incoming network events (based on exisiting one) added. Modify-only network events are possible (eg. add some text each message, but don't create any new global event). Events creation can be chained.
Examples of new network events classes are in New Events Example plugin.
Events from src/gajim.py now all go through Global Events Dispatcher and only through it (easy to modify, in chain, data passed with them).
Events previously generated for D-Bus support in remote_control.py go through Global Events Dispatcher now - this means any plugin can subscribe to them.
Implemented D-Bus support plugin based on remote_control.py.
Length Notifier Plugin has configuration dialog (added entry with JIDs to be included when plugin is working) - fully usable.
Default values of configuration key has been added to GajimPlugin.
Some other minor changes/fixes.
Sorry, it just wasn't maintainable. The problem is the current libotr
API. I'm sick of working around the strange libotr API, sick of getting
HTML messages, sick of losing messages. The final argument for
completely removing it was that we can't get the message ID of a sent
msg anymore - which we need. I tried to work around this as well, but
there seems to be no way to wait for a signal in glib the way I would
need it for the workaround (I wanted to emit a signal in inject_message
and then wait for it after the call to otr_message_fragment_and_send
so the signal can pass us the message id). And the last reason is that
we're heading towards a new release and thus want to stabilize the code,
thus don't have time to work around even more libotr API strangeness.
I will give feedback to the libotr developers, who are currently
planning a new API, so that we can hopefully see OTR support once again
as soon as libotr4 is released.
Kjell already announced that he will continue his branch:
https://code.launchpad.net/~afflux/gajim/otr
I really hope the libotr devs will provide a sane API with libotr4 so
we can integrate OTR support again.
Oh, and I added one more try/except block for OS X.
- basic PluginManager class that loads plugins from *.py files
in given directories
- Singleton metaclass was created to use with PluginManager;
notice: __init__ of class is called only once (not like in code
that is included in Python Cookbook)
- variable to keep paths of plugin directories has been created
(common.gajim.PLUGINS_DIRS); also added initilization of these
paths to common.ConfigPaths
- added global variable with PluginManager object:
common.gajim.plugin_manager
- created customized logger for plugin system ('gajim.plugin_system')
- created function decorator plugins.helpers.log_calls which logs
each call of function/method; it also logs when function is left
- base class Plugin for plug-in implementation added; not much
here - only empty class attributes: name, short_name, authors,
version, description
- based on Plugin class, first plugin was created named
LengthNotifierPlugin; it is used to notify users when they
exceed given length of message during writing it (text entry
field highlights)
- first GUI extension points works when ChatControl object
is created (it is used in mentioned plugin)
- added 'epydoc.conf' file customized a little bit (file
is also in trunk now)
- fixed indentation in common.sleepy module (also in trunk
now)
