What is TBD ?

[a_5mith]

@Technowix To be declared. Usually.

[Technowix]

Ok x'D add in his English voc ewh, that announce bad things o:

[baris]

Haha yeah we will put all the breaking changes that will happen in 0.6.0 as we commit them. There will be some changes to some plugin hooks.

[a_5mith]

@baris As long as it's not the rel:nofollow fiasco again, I'll probably be ok with them.

[julian]

@a_5mith Oh buddy, that's coming alright. But I'll try to let you know sooner

[baris]

Updated with filter:post.parse and filter:post.parseSignature changes. Thread for reference https://community.nodebb.org/topic/3039/filter-post-parse-and-filter-post-parsesignature-changes

[julian]

@a_5mith ^ That change probably broke a lot of your plugins.

If you are updating any of them, you should add a new section into package.json:

{
  ...
  "nbbpm": {
    "compatibility": "^0.6.0"
  }
}

NodeBB doesn't read that value yet, but it will soon.

[a_5mith]

Yay. Will do. I noticed @baris offered a PR on one of my plugins, I'll take a look when I'm slightly more awake, had a 4 hour interview today including full competency exam. I'm knackered.

List of affected plugins will be marked as I've updated them in npm.

Youtube Lite (Updated)
Mixcloud (Updated)
My Custom Soundcloud Plugin

Le sigh. Much plugins, very work.

Updated with key renames, related issue https://github.com/NodeBB/NodeBB/issues/2356.

@a_5mith you should also move the regular expressions out of the .parse function while you are updating.

fixing topic deletion and purging

[Schamper]

So with most (all?) multi-argument hooks being updated to use a single data object, what will become of the single argument hooks? Will they get the same treatment with in mind that more data can be added later?

Sorry if this has been discussed before, must've missed it.

[baris]

Ideally we should change those to be objects as well so we don't have to do this amount of breaking changes in the future. Ie stuff like

plugins.fireHook('action:post.delete', pid);

Should be

plugins.fireHook('action:post.delete', {pid: pid, uid:uid});

There aren't alot of these as far as I know so I will make a list and let you all know about the changes here when they happen.

[julian]

@baris I thought we were leaving the single-argument hooks as-is for now? I don't mind changing it, though... may as well get it all over in one go.

Recent Replies widget is deprecated please switch over to Recent Posts widget if you were using it. It has the same functionality.
