comparison plugins/ChangeLog @ 445:e4c34ca88d9b

[gaim-migrate @ 455] Hehehehehe Libfaim got updated, gaim got updated. btw, gaim/faim can't sign in yet, don't ask me why. it's not my fault. committer: Tailor Script <[e-mail]>

	the important stuff summed up:
	- 9 new events (see SIGNALS file for more details)
	- int gaim_plugin_init(void *) (no longer returns void, see error.c)
	- void gaim_plugin_unload(void *) (to allow plugin to remove itself)
	- can only load 1 instance of the same plugin

	The first thing to note is that there are about 9 new events plugins
	can attach to, most of them dealing with chat, since I know that was a
	big thing that was missing. Please note that I was nice and decided to
	tack these extra events onto the end of the enum, which means that

	would be called twice (since the plugin would most likely act the same
	across multiple instances), and when one was unloaded, all callbacks
	for both instances would be removed. Rather than deal with two copies
	of the same plugin, it is easier and cleaner to only handle one.

	There is a new event, event_quit, which signifies that gaim has exited
	correctly (i.e. didn't segfault). Also, after this event is called, all
	plugins are removed, and their gaim_plugin_remove function is called.
	This behavior is different from previous versions; however, it is the
	proper way of doing things, and should have no effect on current

	Sometimes it's necessary to link a plugin with libraries other than the
	ones needed for GTK. Before, it was necessary to modify the Makefile to
	do so (which was usually messy since it's generated by GNU automake).
	Now, you can simply set the environment variable PLUGIN_LIBS to be the
	extra libraries you want to link in. For example, to link plugin.c with
	the math library, you can run the command
	PLUGIN_LIBS=-lm make plugin.so
	To link with multiple plugins, make sure to indicate spaces, e.g.
	PLUGIN_LIBS='-lm -lcrypt' make encrypt.so
