Spawning one process for each message was a little silly, considering
there can be thousands of messages.
Plus, some instances do reach the timeout after running for a few weeks,
so we really need to fix this.
Ideally, `regexp_wrapper` should also be removed from other plugins
(Todo, Notes, ...) as they have the same issues, but this will do for
now.
.getSpecific() always returned the channel-specific but non-network-specific var,
unless the channel-specific and network-specific one was manually set.
`registry.Value.__call__()` is a wrapper around access to
`registry.Value.value`, that checks if the value was set before the latest
call to `registry.open_registry`; and updates the `value` if needed.
When accessing `registry.Value.value` directly, this cache can't be
invalidated, causing the old value to still be used, until the next call
to `registry.Value.__call__()`.
str() converts them to the exponent notation, which makes split('.')[1]
crash, since there is no decimal part in the exponent notation when there
is a single significant digit.
Python 3.9 introduced the zoneinfo module, which provides the only
feature we used pytz for (getting a datetime.tzinfo object from
an IANA timezone id); so let's use it instead of a third-party
dependency.
This commit reverts db7ef3f02517f9f2a3c56829a22b9fad3c36e374
(though it keeps the year updates)
After discussion with several people, it seems better to mention
copyright owners explicitly. eg. https://reuse.software/faq/#vcs-copyright
explains the issue of using VCSs to track copyright.
As db7ef3f02517f9f2a3c56829a22b9fad3c36e374 only replaced mentions
of my name with 'The Limnoria Contributors', this commit only needs
to undo that + add one person who contributed to setup.py.
When the target is a channel it is not in, it would treat it as a user;
which, if userCapabilityRequired is empty, would unconditionally send it
to a channel.
This would usually result in an error, that would be logged,
hence the loop.
