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.
- 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
* Treat linkless feed posts as status updates; drop the "New post:" prefix and quotes on them.
* Use stable user IDs for atom/rss2 feed links instead of unstable nicknames
* Pull Atom feed preferentially when subscribing -- can now put the remote user's profile page straight into the feed subscription form and get to the right place.
* Clean up naming for push endpoints
