2.12.2 released

Posted - 08 Oct 2016

Yet another bug fix release in the 2.12 series has been uploaded. This one is fairly uneventful so I will keep it short.

Fishlim

The fish plugin did get some love this cycle fixing a few bugs and implementing key exchange (/keyx) which allows two clients to negotiate a more secure password. It also finally handles basic things like /me working so enjoy.

Plugin API

There were also a few fixes and additions for any addon creators:

The channel list has a “chanmodes” entry and you can see a use for it in my buffextras.lua script.
The hexchat_pluginpref_get_int() API returned 0 or -1 on failure inconsistent with the docs so that was fixed which also fixed the lua plugin.
If you ate an event that causes a highlight the UI used to still change which was fixed allowing nohighlight scripts to be greatly simplified.
There have been longstanding issues with hooking “Close Context” where you could very easily trigger a crash; These have not been fully fixed and may never be but the common cases have been handled.
