This release contains all changes from 1.3.0, as well as the following:
#### New features
- **Experimental daemonization support via `pylink -d`!** [issue#187](https://github.com/GLolol/PyLink/issues/187)
- Clientbot now supports expansions such as `$nick` in autoperform
- **Experimental daemonization support via `pylink -d`**. [issue#187](https://github.com/GLolol/PyLink/issues/187)
- New (alpha-quality) `antispam` plugin targeting mass-highlight spam: it supports any combination of kick, ban, quiet (mute), and kill as punishment. [issue#359](https://github.com/GLolol/PyLink/issues/359)
- Clientbot now supports expansions such as `$nick` in autoperform.
- Relay now translates STATUSMSG messages (e.g. `@#channel` messages) for target networks instead of passing them on as-is. [issue#570](https://github.com/GLolol/PyLink/issues/570)
- Relay endburst delay on InspIRCd networks is now configurable via the `servers::NETNAME::relay_endburst_delay` option.
- The servermaps plugin now shows the uplink server name for Clientbot links
- Added `--trace / -t` options to the launcher for integration with Python's `trace` module.
#### Feature changes
- New (alpha-quality) `antispam` plugin targeting mass-highlight spam: it supports any combination of kick, ban, quiet (mute), and kill as punishment. [issue#359](https://github.com/GLolol/PyLink/issues/359)
- **Reverted the commit making SIGHUP shutdown the PyLink daemon**. Now, SIGUSR1 and SIGHUP both trigger a rehash, while SIGTERM triggers a shutdown.
- The `raw` command has been split into a new plugin (`plugins/raw.py`) with two permissions: `raw.raw` for Clientbot networks, and `raw.raw.unsupported_network` for other protocols. Using raw commands outside Clientbot is not supported. [issue#565](https://github.com/GLolol/PyLink/issues/565)
- The servermaps plugin now uses two permissions for `map` and `localmap`: `servermaps.map` and `servermaps.localmap` respectively
- The servermaps plugin now shows the uplink server name for Clientbot links
- Added `--trace / -t` options to the launcher for integration with Python's `trace` module.
- `showuser` and `showchan` now consistently report times in UTC
#### Bug fixes
@ -39,20 +39,20 @@ This release contains all changes from 1.3.0, as well as the following:
- This new code uses the Python selectors module, which automatically chooses the fastest polling backend available ([`epoll|kqueue|devpoll > poll > select`](https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/v3.6.5/Lib/selectors.py#L599-L601)).
- **API Break: significantly reworked channel handling for service bots**. [issue#265](https://github.com/GLolol/PyLink/issues/265)
- The `ServiceBot.extra_channels` attribute in previous versions is replaced with `ServiceBot.dynamic_channels`, which is accessed indirectly via new functions `ServiceBot.add_persistent_channel()`, `ServiceBot.remove_persistent_channel()`, `ServiceBot.get_persistent_channels()`. This API also replaces `ServiceBot.join()` for most plugins, which now joins channels *non-persistently*.
- This API change provides plugins with a way of registering dynamic persistent channels, which are consistently rejoined on kick or kill
- Persistent channels are also "dynamic" in the sense that PyLink service bots will now part channels marked persistent when they become empty, and rejoin when it is recreated
- This new implementation is also plugin specific, as plugins must provide a namespace (usually the plugin name) when managing persistent channels using `ServiceBot.(add|remove)_persistent_channel()`
- New abstraction: `ServiceBot.get_persistent_channels()` which fetches the list of all persistent channels on a network (i.e. *both* the config defined channels and what's registered in `dynamic_channels`)

- New abstraction: `ServiceBot.get_persistent_channels()` which fetches the list of all persistent channels on a network (i.e. *both* the config defined channels and what's registered in `dynamic_channels`).
- New abstraction: `ServiceBot.part()` sends a part request to channels and only succeeds if it is not marked persistent by any plugin. This effectively works around the long-standing issue of relay-services conflicts. [issue#265](https://github.com/GLolol/PyLink/issues/265)
- Major optimizations to `irc.nick_to_uid`: `PyLinkNetworkCore.users` and `classes.User` now transparently maintain an index mapping nicks to UIDs instead of doing reverse lookup on every call.
- This introduces a new `UserMapping` class, which stores User objects by UID and provides a `bynick` dict storing case-normalized nicks to lists of UIDs.
- `classes.User.nick` is now a property, where the setter implicitly updates the `bynick` index with a pre-computed case-normalized version of the nick (`User.lower_nick`)
- Various relay optimizations.
- This is done via a new `UserMapping` class in `pylinkirc.classes`, which stores User objects by UID and provides a `bynick` attribute mapping case-normalized nicks to lists of UIDs.
- `classes.User.nick` is now a property, where the setter implicitly updates the `bynick` index with a pre-computed case-normalized version of the nick (also stored to `User.lower_nick`)
- Various relay optimizations: reuse target SID when bursting joins, and only look up nick once in `normalize_nick`
- Rewritten CTCP plugin, now extending to all service bots. [issue#468](https://github.com/GLolol/PyLink/issues/468), [issue#407](https://github.com/GLolol/PyLink/issues/407)
- Relay no longer spams configured U-lines with "message dropped because you aren't in a common channel" errors
- The `endburst_delay` option to `spawn_server()` was removed from the protocol spec, and replaced by a private API used by protocols/inspircd and relay.
- New API: hook functions can now block further execution from other handlers by returning False. [issue#547](https://github.com/GLolol/PyLink/issues/547)
- New API: added `irc.get_server_option()` to fetch server-specific config variables and global settings as fallback. [issue#574](https://github.com/GLolol/PyLink/issues/574)
- New API: hook handlers can now filter messages from lower-priority handlers by returning `False`. [issue#547](https://github.com/GLolol/PyLink/issues/547)
- New API: added `irc.get_server_option()` to fetch server-specific config variables and global settings as a fallback. [issue#574](https://github.com/GLolol/PyLink/issues/574)
- automode: replace assert checks with proper exceptions
- Renamed methods in log, utils, conf to snake case. [issue#523](https://github.com/GLolol/PyLink/issues/523)
- Remove `structures.DeprecatedAttributesObject`; it's vastly inefficient for what it accomplishes
