By Sébastien Helleu on Tuesday, July 2 2019, 07:48 - plugins
As scheduled in the Python 3 transition page, since July 1st 2019, the "python" plugin is now compiled with Python 3 by default.
The changes:
- If Python 3 is found, the "python" plugin is compiled with Python 3.
- If Python 3 is not found, the "python" plugin is not built at all (even if Python 2 is installed).
The CMake option "ENABLE_PYTHON3" has been renamed to "ENABLE_PYTHON2" (configure option "--enable-python2"). If this option is enabled, the "python" plugin is built with Python 2 (if found), with a fallback on Python 3.
The development packages for Debian and Ubuntu are now compiled with Python 3 (it should be available soon for Raspbian). The future stable versions (≥ 2.6) will be compiled with Python 3 as well.

Monday, January 14 2019
By Sébastien Helleu on Monday, January 14 2019, 21:47 - core
TOTP (Time-based One-Time Password) support has been added in WeeChat, which can now generate and check TOTP validity.
A TOTP is generated with:
- the secret (encoded in base 32),
- the time (by default 0, which is the current time),
- the number of digits (4 to 10 digits are supported, 6 is the default and recommended value).
Relay plugin
The TOTP can be used as second authentication factor in the relay plugin, with two new options:
- relay.network.totp_secret: the TOTP secret, encoded in base 32
- relay.network.totp_window: the allowed window: number of TOTP allowed before and after the current time window.
For example to set the secret using secured data (just replace "xxxxx" by your secret in base 32):
/secure set relay_totp_secret xxxxx
/set relay.network.totp_secret "${sec.data.relay_totp_secret}"
Then your relay client must support and send the TOTP value, in addition to the password, in the "init" command:
init password=secretpassword,totp=123456
If the password is valid and that TOTP is valid for the current time, the authentication is successful.
Infos / eval
You can also generate or validate TOTP with two new infos in WeeChat:
- totp_generate: generate a TOTP
- totp_validate: validate a TOTP
For example to show the value of TOTP for the secret "secretbase32", current time, with 6 digits:
/eval -n ${info:totp_generate,secretbase32,0,6}
Documentation
You can read more about TOTP in the docs:

Starting on Sunday, Nov 3rd 2017 at 02:00 (CET), the Debian packaging will change in weechat.org Debian/Ubuntu/Raspbian repositories: the scripting plugins are split into multiple packages, so that Perl, Python, Ruby, ... can be installed separately.
Only development packages will be updated, the released versions (1.9.1 and earlier) will not be updated.
Important: if you are using the WeeChat development packages from weechat.org, you will have to install manually the scripting packages (according to the languages you'll use in WeeChat).
Old packaging (until 2017-11-04):
- weechat
- weechat-core
- weechat-curses
- weechat-dbg
- weechat-dev

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:

Options can now have a parent option, and the value of option inherits from parent when it is null (if null is allowed).
For now, only IRC server options (irc.server.<name>.xxx
) are inheriting from parent options (irc.server_default.<name>.xxx
).
The command /set shows the inherited value (and the default inherited if the value is set to null).
Script iset.pl has been updated as well (version 4.0 supports this feature, and is compatible with old WeeChat).
Enjoy and Merry Christmas!

CRC32 and IPv6 are now supported in xfer plugin!
For CRC32, a new option has been added:
- xfer.file.auto_check_crc32 (boolean, off by default): when enabled, if the filename has a CRC32 (8 hexadecimal chars with delimiters around), the CRC32 of file content is checked and the result is displayed in xfer buffer (with error in core buffer if the CRC32 is wrong).
For IPv6, everything is automatic; it works for DCC file and chat.
Note for C plugin developers: the function "weechat_network_connect_to" has been modified to be used with IPv6. See the plugin API reference for more info.
A big thanks to Andrew Potter for the patches!

A bar item has beed added as well:
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)

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:
- derive a key from the passphrase (with optional salt)
- compute hash of data to encrypt
- 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:
- derive a key using salt and passphrase
- decrypt hash + data
- check that decrypted hash == hash of data

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.
