Automatic tests of the scripting API have been added a few days ago. For now only a small part of API functions are checked.

This is done with 3 new Python scripts in directory tests/scripts/python:

• unparse.py: convert Python code to other languages (including Python itself)
• testapigen.py: generate scripts in all languages to test the API
• testapi.py scripting API tests

The script unparse.py can convert Python code to other languages: Python, Perl, Ruby, Lua, TCL, Guile, JavaScript and PHP (new plugin in version 2.0). The Python code is first parsed using AST (ast.parse), and then this tree is recursively scanned to produce code in Python or another language (note: only part of AST is supported, the minimum for WeeChat tests).

Example of code conversion in other languages:

$ ./unparse.py --language all
Enter the code to convert (Enter + ctrl+D to end)

def test_list_new():
    ptr_list = weechat.list_new()
    check(ptr_list != '')
    check(weechat.list_size(ptr_list) == 0)

python:
def test_list_new():
    ptr_list = weechat.list_new()
    check(ptr_list != '')
    check(weechat.list_size(ptr_list) == 0)

perl:
sub test_list_new
{
    $ptr_list = weechat::list_new();
    check($ptr_list ne "");
    check(weechat::list_size($ptr_list) == 0);
}

ruby:
def test_list_new
    ptr_list = weechat.list_new()
    check(ptr_list != '')
    check(weechat.list_size(ptr_list) == 0)
end

lua:
function test_list_new()
    ptr_list = weechat.list_new()
    check(ptr_list ~= '')
    check(weechat.list_size(ptr_list) == 0)
end

tcl:
proc test_list_new {} {
    set ptr_list [weechat::list_new]
    check [expr {$ptr_list ne ""}]
    check [expr {[weechat::list_size $ptr_list] == 0}]
}

guile:
(define (test_list_new)
    (let ((ptr_list (weechat:list_new)))
        (begin
            (check (string<> ptr_list ""))
            (check (= (weechat:list_size ptr_list) 0))
        )
    )
)

javascript:
function test_list_new() {
    ptr_list = weechat.list_new()
    check(ptr_list != '')
    check(weechat.list_size(ptr_list) == 0)
}

php:
function test_list_new()
{
    $ptr_list = weechat_list_new();
    check($ptr_list != "");
    check(weechat_list_size($ptr_list) == 0);
}

The script testapigen.py generates scripts in all supported languages. These scripts are loaded in WeeChat during tests, and print the results of tests, for example in Python:

New keys:

• Alt+"-": toggle filters in current buffer
• Alt+l (L): bare display
• Alt+j, Alt+f: jump to first buffer

A new plugin called "exec" has been added, with command /exec.

The command /exec can execute external commands and display output in WeeChat.

It is similar to /shell (script shell.py), with major improvements:

• run many commands at once,
• send signals to commands,
• send data on stdin of a command,
• line numbers in output,
• ANSI color support,
• command timeout.

Other features coming soon: pipe output to WeeChat command or hsignal (to use in a trigger).

A "bare" display mode has been added. This special mode displays only the current buffer, and no bars around (no title, nicklist, status, input, ...).
It is designed for easy selection of text and click on long URLs (which are not broken at the end of lines, because ncurses is disabled in this mode).

A new key has been added: Alt+l (use /key missing to add the key), or this command: /key bind meta-l /window bare.
You can also use a delay in seconds with command /window bare, for example 5 seconds: /window bare 5.

Two options have been added:

• weechat.look.bare_display_exit_on_input (default: on): by default any changes in input will return to standard display
• weechat.look.bare_display_time_format (default: "%H:%M"): the format of time used in bare display.

Bare display looks like this (click for full size):

Version 0.4.3 is available!

As usual, many new features and bug fixes, see ChangeLog for detail.

Important: please read the release notes if you are upgrading to this version (from any other version).

New major features in this release:

• new command /print
• logical and/or for tags in /filter and hook_print

• new option to smart-filter IRC mode messages
• new option for default IRC ban mask
• support of IPv6 for DCC chat/file (see this post)
• auto check CRC32 of files received with DCC (see this post)

New options:

• irc.look.notice_welcome_tags
• irc.look.smart_filter_mode
• irc.network.ban_mask_default
• irc.network.lag_max
• irc.server.xxx.default_msg_kick
• irc.server.xxx.ssl_fingerprint
• weechat.look.buffer_auto_renumber
• weechat.look.buffer_position
• weechat.look.buffer_search_case_sensitive

• xfer.file.auto_check_crc32

Options changed:

• irc.look.highlight_tags renamed to irc.look.highlight_tags_restrict
• weechat.look.set_title renamed to weechat.look.window_title

New keys:

• Ctrl+C, v: reverse video (replaces Ctrl+C, r)
• Ctrl+C, "_": underlined text (replaces Ctrl+C, u)

Auto renumber of buffers can now be disabled.

Two options have been added:

• weechat.look.buffer_auto_renumber
• weechat.look.buffer_position

A bar item has beed added as well:

• buffer_last_number

When auto renumber is disabled, gaps between buffer numbers are allowed and the first buffer can have a number greater than 1.

Following options for command /buffer are affected when auto renumber is off:

• move:
  • the current number will be left free for use, and the target number can be any number >= 1 (possibly higher than the current last buffer number)
  • the value can be "-" (which moves the buffer to number 1) or "+" (which moves the buffer to the end, ie last number + 1)
• swap:
  • now the buffers are swapped in the list without being "moved"
• (+/-)N:
  • it is now working with gaps in buffer numbers
• merge:
  • it can now merge a group of merged buffers into another buffer (or buffers merged themselves)

When searching text in buffer (with Ctrl+R), the matching text in lines is now emphasized, even if there are color codes in the line.

The search has been improved: it is now possible to search with a regular expression, and select where to search: in messages (default), prefixes or prefixes+messages.

The default key for search is still Ctrl+R and keys have been added/changed in the search context:

• Ctrl+R: switch search type: string/regex
• Alt+c: switch exact case for search
• Tab: switch search in messages/prefixes

The new search prompt in input bar looks like this: [Search (~ str,msg)]

Short description of content:

• ~: case insensitive search (default)
• ==: case sensitive search
• str: search string (default)
• regex: search regular expression
• msg: search in messages (default)
• pre: search in prefixes
• pre|msg: search in prefixes and messages

Happy search!

WeeChat binary and man page have been renamed from "weechat-curses" to "weechat".

You can read important info about that in release notes.

A Raspbian repository has been added for Raspberry Pi (thanks to Nils G. for building the packages every night).

The existing Debian repositories are being moved from flashtux.org to weechat.org, like the new Raspbian one. Repositories on weechat.org are already available, therefore it is recommended to use them now.

IMPORTANT: the WeeChat packages on debian.flashtux.org are still built every night, but they will be definitely removed on 2013-03-01.

A new section has been added on download page with a summary of all repositories: https://weechat.org/download/debian/.

A test script called testproto.py has been added in QWeeChat to test the relay protocol with WeeChat. This script runs in terminal and does not require Qt.

Script is located in path src/qweechat/weechat/testproto.py of QWeeChat repository.

Backlog has been added for irc protocol in relay plugin.

The relay plugin now supports server capability "server-time", to include the messages time as tag (not in the message itself).

5 new options have been added:

• relay.irc.backlog_max_minutes
• relay.irc.backlog_max_number
• relay.irc.backlog_since_last_disconnect
• relay.irc.backlog_tags
• relay.irc.backlog_time_format

Enjoy, and merry Christmas!

Tags in IRC messages are now supported (in development version, planned for version 0.4.0), following this specification: http://ircv3.atheme.org/specification/message-tags-3.2.

The tag "time" is now read and is used to set the time for the message displayed.

The "znc" IRC bouncer is using this tag with the capability "znc.in/server-time-iso" (name should change in the next release). For example if you are using a server called "znc" in WeeChat, you can do:

/set irc.server.znc.capabilities "znc.in/server-time-iso"

Note: with znc 1.0, the server capability was "znc.in/server-time". With znc git > 1.0, the capability is "znc.in/server-time-iso".
