libmesode has finally been deprecated. We now depend on libstrophe >= 0.11.0. All the functionality from libmesode has been brought to libstrophe.
We tried to make it easier to use (Python) plugins.
In the process the sourcepath setting got removed see here for more details.
And we finally support a global installation path for plugins. So now we have to ways to install a plugins. Either by using the full path:
/plugins install ~/src/profanity-plugins/my.py
Or by using:
`/plugins install my.py`
The latter will check two location. Which are the local one ~/.local/share/profanity/plugins and the global /usr/local/share/profanity/plugins/.
So distributions could actually create a profanity-plugins package that install to the global path. Users could then install/active it by running the above mentioned install command.
For more details see here.
We now support XEP-0077: In-Band Registration.
Learn to use it via /help register.
We got a new color theme, check it out: /theme load snicket.
You can now set UTF-8 signs not only for your OTR/OMEMO/PGP indicators but also for your: roster header char, roster contact char, roster resource char, roster private char, occupants char, occupants header char.
We now support XEP-0107: User Mood.
Try it out: /mood set happy.
Additionally to /editor we now have: /subject editor and /correct-editor.
You can also always press alt-c to open the external editor and the result will be used in the inputwindow. This works with every command.
