Also added new property 'additional_data' to message event objects. Changes to this attribute (a dict) are passed on from event to event and are also written to the history db as json string (reading of those values isn't implemented yet).
Those variables were confusing because autoconf usually defines DATADIR to
PREFIX/share and gajim uses both defs.datadir=PREFIX/share/gajim and
gajim.DATA_DIR=PREFIX/share/gajim/data.
Now, autoconf will use PKGDATADIR for setting the (renamed) defs.basedir
variable which will be used to set gajimpaths['DATA_DIR'] and
gajimpaths['ICONS_DIR'] in configpaths.py
Gajim will also looks for the ${GAJIM_BASEDIR} environment variable instead of
${datadir} which was really too generic (no namespace).
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.
- 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)
