The new system is backward compatible and will load older style plugins.
The new plugin framework allows plugins to track their dependencies, and
will auto-enable plugins as needed.
Dependencies are tracked via a class-level set named `dependencies` in
each plugin.
Plugin names are no longer tightly coupled with the plugin class name,
Pso EP8 style class names may be used.
Disabling plugins is now allowed, but ensuring proper cleanup is left to
the plugin implementation.
The use of a `post_init()` method is no longer needed for new style
plugins, but plugins following the old style will still require a
`post_init()` method.
The post_init() system can only reliably handle a single layer
of dependencies between plugins, but PEP plugins with XEP-0115
exceed that limit and plugins can be post_init'ed out of order. To
resolve this, we will special case XEP-0115 to be post_init'ed
first until the new plugin system with dependency tracking is
stable.
Publishes, retractions, purges, and deletions now raise the events:
- pubsub_publish
- pubsub_retract
- pubsub_purge
- pubsub_delete
In addition, custom events may be raised based on the node that
generated the notification. For example:
xmpp['xep_0060'].map_node_event('http://jabber.org/protocol/tune',
'user_tune')
will allow for using the events:
- user_tune_publish
- user_tune_retract
- user_tune_purge
- user_tune_delete
Each state element must have its own stanza class now. A stanza class
with an empty name field causes errors in ElementTree, even though
it works fine with cElementTree.
This is inspired by the version from macdiesel and tomstrummer, but
their version was heavily linked with XEP-0096 and focused solely
on file transfer. This version is a more generic implementation.
As part of adding this feature:
- fixed bug in update_caps() not assigning verstrings
- fixed xep_0004 typo
- can now use None as a roster key which will map to boundjid.bare
- fixed using JID objects in disco node handlers
- fixed failing test related to get_roster
Several of these bugs I've fixed before, so I either didn't push them
earlier, or I clobbered something when merging. *shrug*
