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.

This is more of a proof of concept and will likely not stay in exactly
this form. We should reasonably deliver the entire notice upon webfinger
querying.
If you're using XMPP by setting $config['xmpp'][*] then you should do:
addPlugin('Xmpp', $config['xmpp']);
because setting it directly in $config[''] won't do anything.
Also, default resource for XMPP is now 'gnusocial'. If you want something
more random, set it in your addPlugin config array.
Also removed the entirely unused saveGroups function.
Now avoiding multiGet and using listFind in Profile->getGroups()
so we don't have to deal with ArrayWrapper.
"[...] posts _local_ users (like you) make won't get data about "repeated by"
from federated users"
This was because the ActivityObject would processShare where the shared object
has a _local_ 'actor' URI. Ostatus_profile would complain this meant that a
"Local user cannot be referenced as remote.".
So we see if the shared activity object's id (URI) is in our Notice table, so
we don't have to processActivity - and can skip ensureActivityObjectProfile.
Added the relevant section in INSTALL about queues and daemons to get
the plugin runnig.
Made resource required, as otherwise XMPPHP will send invalid from JIDs
in it's stanzas. For example when my configuration didn't had the
resource part, outbound stanzas looked like this:
<message
from="gnusocial@example.de/"
to="flow@example.de"
type='chat'>
<body>
User "flow" on GNU Social has said that your
XMPP/Jabber/GTalk screenname belongs to them.
…
</body>
</message>
Note the '/' at the end of the from attribute, without an actual
XMPP resource. But according to RFC6122 2.1 "every allowable portion of
a JID MUST NOT be zero bytes in length". Causing a jid-malformed
response from the server.
Also, it's nice to know that debug=true will print out all sent and
received stanzas, which helped me to debug the problem.
Furthermore I add a note that if the XMPP services uses DNS SRV records,
'host' has to be configured (in cases where service host != xmpp domain).
This is the beginning of getting notice URI info via WebFinger
*XrdActionLinks is renamed *WebFingerProfileLinks, check EVENTS.txt
in WebFinger plugin for new events.
Nickname verifications on registration and updates for profiles (not yet
groups) have been improved.
Minor bugs in RegisterAction were also fixed, where multiple forms would
be outputed because the function did not return after showForm(). This
will be solved more permanently with throwing exceptions in the future.
I implemented changes from quitter.se's new API that their front-end qvitter
uses, https://github.com/hannesmannerheim/qvitter/blob/master/api-changes-1.1.1/CHANGES
However I left out the URL shortening commens, since I believe whatever behaviour
they experienced that caused them to implement this was a bug (or many) and should
be fixed in their proper areas and that shortening should not be entirely left
out in API calls.
