WebSub is probably finalised before we make a release anyway. Here is
the official spec: https://www.w3.org/TR/websub/
Mostly just comments that have been changed. Some references to PuSH <0.4
are left because they actually refer to PuSH 0.3 and that's not WebSub...
The only actual code change that might affect anything is FeedSub->isPuSH()
but the only official plugin using that call was FeedPoller anyway...
This fixes an issue where INSERTs in HubSub fail if MySQL/MariaDB is
running in "strict mode" since the default lease time in
PushHubAction::subunsub is null.
Permanent subscriptions have been removed in PuSH v0.4, but they are
being kept here for backward-compatibility with previous GS/SN versions.
Among other things (such as permanent subscriptions), Pubsubhubbub 0.4
removed the "sync" verification method. This means that any incoming
PuSH subscription requests that follow the 0.4 spec won't really
_require_that we handle it as a background process, but if we were to
try direct verification of the subscription - and fail - there's no way
we could pick up the ball again. So _essentially_ we require background
processing with retries.
This means we must implement something like the "poorman cron" or
similar, so background processing can be handled
on-demand/on-site-visit. This is how Friendica, Drupal etc. handles it
and is necessary for environments where we can't run separate queue
daemons.
When the poorman-cron-ish thing is implemented, auto-renewal will work
for all users.

In commit e95f77d34c HubSub lost the
'staticGet' function in a consolidation into the Managed_DataObject class.
This was done carelessly by me as HubSub::staticGet was actually taking
two arguments, none of which was a key and merging them in HubSub::hashkey()
(staticGet was renamed getKV 2a4dc77a63).
NOTE: This complements commit 7e4718a4eb which
fixed a similar issue for the Magicsig class.
I used this hacky sed-command (run it from your GNU Social root, or change the first grep's path to where it actually lies) to do a rough fix on all ::staticGet calls and rename them to ::getKV
sed -i -s -e '/DataObject::staticGet/I!s/::staticGet/::getKV/Ig' $(grep -R ::staticGet `pwd`/* | grep -v -e '^extlib' | grep -v DataObject:: |grep -v "function staticGet"|cut -d: -f1 |sort |uniq)
If you're applying this, remember to change the Managed_DataObject and Memcached_DataObject function definitions of staticGet to getKV!
This might of course take some getting used to, or modification fo StatusNet plugins, but the result is that all the static calls (to staticGet) are now properly made without breaking PHP Strict Standards. Standards are there to be followed (and they caused some very bad confusion when used with get_called_class)
Reasonably any plugin or code that tests for the definition of 'GNUSOCIAL' or similar will take this change into consideration.
In some brief tests, this causes no problems.
In this state however, you would need to modify DB_DataObject to have a static declaration of staticget (and probably pkeyGet). The next commit will change the staticGet overload to a unique function name (like getKV for getKeyValue), which means we can properly call the function by PHP Strict Standards.
Under MySQL, new tables will be created as InnoDB with UTF-8 (utf8/utf8_bin) same as core tables.
Existing plugin tables will have table engine and default charset/collation updated, and string columns will have charset updated, at checkschema time.
Switched from 'DESCRIBE' to INFORMATION_SCHEMA for pulling column information in order to get charset. A second hit to INFORMATION_SCHEMA is also needed to get table properties.
Indices were only being created at table creation time, which ain't so hot. Now also adding/dropping indices when they change.
Fixed up some schema defs in OStatus plugin that were a bit flaky, causing extra alter tables to be run.
TODO: Generalize this infrastructure a bit more up to base schema & pg schema classes.
- add event hooks to profile update pings
- send Salmon pings with custom update-profile event to OStatus subscribees and groups (subscribers will see it on your next post)
- fix OStatus queues with overlong transport names, should work on DB queues now
- Ostatus_profile::notifyActivity() and ::notifyDeferred() now can take XML, Notice, or Activity for convenience
- hub now defers subscription state updates until after verification, per spec
- hub now supports synchronous verification when requested (if async is not requested after)
- client now requests synchronous verification (it's a bit safer)
- cleanup on subscription logging/error responses
- set minimal error page output on PuSH callback
- allow hub to retry ($config['ostatus']['hub_retries']), simplify internal iface a bit. Retries are pushed to end of queue but otherwise not delayed yet; makes delivery more robust to one-off transitory errors but not yet against downtime.
* HMAC now calculated correctly - confirmed interop with Google's public hub
* Can optionally use an external PuSH hub, set URL in $config['ostatus']['hub']
(may have issues in replication environment, and will ping the hub for every
update rather than just those with subscribers) Internal hub will still function
when this is set, but won't be advertised. Warning: setting this, then turning
it off later will break subscriptions as that hub will no longer receive pings.
* renamed FeedSub plugin to OStatus
* now setting avatar on subscriptions
* general fixes for subscription
* integrated PuSH hub to handle only user timelines on canonical ID url; sends updates directly
* set $config['feedsub']['nohub'] = true to test w/ foreign feeds that don't have hubs (won't actually receive updates though)
* a few bits of code documentation
* HMAC support for verified distributions (safest if sub setup is on HTTPS)
And a couple core changes:
* minimizing HTML output for exceptions in API requests to aid in debugging
* fix for rel=self link in apitimelineuser when id given
This does not not yet include any of the individual subscription management (Salmon notifications for sub/unsub, etc) nor a nice UI for user subscriptions.
Needs some further cleanup to treat posts as status updates instead of link references.
