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:

Secured data has been added to WeeChat: you can now encrypt your passwords or private data in a new configuration file called "sec.conf".

This configuration file is read before any other file, and the values stored inside can be used in various WeeChat or plugins/scripts options.

To add secured data, you just have to set a passphrase (not mandatory, but recommended: this will encrypt data in sec.conf instead of plain text), and then add data, for example :

/secure passphrase this is my passphrase
/secure set freenode mypassword

And then you can use that in a server password, for example :

/set irc.server.freenode.sasl_password "${sec.data.freenode}"

For more info, see /help secure.

Options for encryption

You can use different cipher/hash algorithms, by setting following options:

• sec.crypt.hash_algo: algorithm for hash: sha224, sha256 (default), sha384, sha512
• sec.crypt.cipher: cipher: aes128, aes192, aes256 (default)
• sec.crypt.salt: use salt (recommended for maximum security)
• sec.crypt.passphrase_file: file with the passphrase (optional)

Note: the cipher block mode is CFB.

The encryption

It is done in 3 steps:

1. derive a key from the passphrase (with optional salt)
2. compute hash of data to encrypt
3. encrypt the hash + data (output is: salt + encrypted hash/data)

The result is put as hexadecimal string in file sec.conf.

The decryption

It is done in 3 steps:

1. derive a key using salt and passphrase
2. decrypt hash + data
3. check that decrypted hash == hash of data

Happy birthday WeeChat, 10 years old!

I would like to thank all contributors for the help with translations, patches and ideas of features.
All contributions and donations are much appreciated!

The prefix and suffix for nicks are now dynamic and not specific to irc plugin.

IRC options have been moved to core:

• irc.look.nick_prefix moved to weechat.look.nick_prefix
• irc.look.nick_suffix moved to weechat.look.nick_suffix
• irc.color.nick_prefix moved to weechat.color.chat_nick_prefix
• irc.color.nick_suffix moved to weechat.color.chat_nick_suffix

The prefix/suffix and colors are now applied on messages already displayed (because they are not stored any more in prefix of lines).

Two options have been added in logger plugin, to use a prefix/suffix for nicks (optional, empty by default):

• logger.file.nick_prefix
• logger.file.nick_suffix

You can find more information 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/.

The git version (output of "git describe") has been added to WeeChat build. This version is displayed in /version (or /v), and is returned in IRC CTCP ("version" and "finger").

Note: the git version is set only when building a development version (not a stable release).

This is useful if you help people and want to know the exact version.

Screenshot:

Version 0.3.9.1 is available, it fixes a security problem (buffer overflow when decoding IRC colors in strings).

Note: to add missing keys, you can use command /key missing

The support for terminal bracketed paste mode has been added. In this mode, pasted text is bracketed with control sequences so that WeeChat can differentiate pasted text from typed-in text (ESC[200~, followed by the pasted text, followed by ESC[201~).

New options:

• weechat.look.paste_bracketed: enable terminal "bracketed paste mode" (off by default)
• weechat.look.paste_bracketed_timer_delay: force end of bracketed paste after this delay (in seconds) if control sequence for end of bracketed paste was not received in time (10 seconds by default)

Changes on option weechat.look.paste_max_lines: now -1 is used to disable option (and new default value is 1 instead of 3). According to value, you have following behaviour:

• value -1: paste detection disabled (any paste is immediately inserted in input, without confirmation)
• value 0: WeeChat will ask confirmation for any paste (even one char)
• value N (>= 1): WeeChat will ask for at least N+1 lines

When pasting one line with newline in bracketed paste mode, the newline at the end of paste is automatically removed (regardless the value of option weechat.look.paste_max_lines).

According to my tests the "bracketed paste mode" works fine with:

• terminals: rxvt-unicode (9.15), xterm (276), mintty (1.0.3)
• multiplexer: screen (4.00.03)

According to my tests it currently does not work with:

• terminals: putty like (planned, committed recently)
• multiplexer: tmux (1.6) (planned, committed recently)

Please comment this post if you have info about other terminals (supported or not).

URL transfer has been added in API for plugins and scripts (using libcurl).

A new function has been added: "hook_process_hashtable". Behaviour is the same as "hook_process", but with an extra "options" (a hashtable). To download URL content (html page or file), the syntax is (example is python):

weechat.hook_process_hashtable('url:http://weechat.org/download/',
                               { 'file_out': '/tmp/url.txt' },
                               10000, 'my_process_cb', '')

This code will download URL in file "/tmp/url.txt" and call function "my_process_cb" when done, with return code:

• 0: transfer ok
• 1: invalid URL
• 2: transfer error
• 3: not enough memory
• 4: error with a file

It is possible to download URL without any option, then the output is on standard output of process (received as "out" in callback, possibly in many chunks, depending on page size):

weechat.hook_process('url:http://weechat.org/download/', 10000, 'my_process_cb', '')

1. key Alt+1
2. key Alt+j, then 0, then 1
3. key F5 ^*
4. key F6 ^*
5. key Ctrl+p ^*
6. key Ctrl+n ^*
7. key Alt+Left ^*
8. key Alt+Right ^*
9. key Alt+Up ^*
10. key Alt+Down ^*
11. key Alt+a (if buffer #1 is first in hotlist)
12. left mouse button with long gesture to the left (with mouse enabled)
13. command /buffer 1
14. command /buffer core.weechat (if core buffer is #1)
15. command /buffer close 2-99999 (joke! - this will destroy all buffers and keep only buffer(s) with number 1)
16. command /buffer move 1 (joke! - current buffer will become #1)

There are other ways with scripts, but it's cheating!

^* : press key many times until you reach buffer #1.
