The commit introduces the following API incompatibilities:
In ejabberd_auth.erl:
* dirty_get_registered_users/0 is renamed to get_users/0
* get_vh_registered_users/1 is renamed to get_users/1
* get_vh_registered_users/2 is renamed to get_users/2
* get_vh_registered_users_number/1 is renamed to count_users/1
* get_vh_registered_users_number/2 is renamed to count_users/2
In ejabberd_auth callbacks
* plain_password_required/0 is replaced by plain_password_required/1
where the argument is a virtual host
* store_type/0 is replaced by store_type/1 where the argument is
a virtual host
* set_password/3 is now an optional callback
* remove_user/3 callback is no longer needed
* remove_user/2 now should return `ok | {error, atom()}`
* is_user_exists/2 now must only be implemented for backends
with `external` store type
* check_password/6 is no longer needed
* check_password/4 now must only be implemented for backends
with `external` store type
* try_register/3 is now an optional callback and should return
`ok | {error, atom()}`
* dirty_get_registered_users/0 is no longer needed
* get_vh_registered_users/1 is no longer needed
* get_vh_registered_users/2 is renamed to get_users/2
* get_vh_registered_users_number/1 is no longer needed
* get_vh_registered_users_number/2 is renamed to count_users/2
* get_password_s/2 is no longer needed
* get_password/2 now must only be implemented for backends with
`plain` or `scram` store type
Additionally, the commit introduces two new callbacks:
* use_cache/1 where the argument is a virtual host
* cache_nodes/1 where the argument is a virtual host
New options are also introduced: `auth_use_cache`, `auth_cache_missed`,
`auth_cache_life_time` and `auth_cache_size`.
The changes are very similar to those from previous commit:
* Now there is no need to pass validating function in
gen_mod:get_opt() and gen_mod:get_module_opt() functions,
because the modules' configuration keeps already validated values.
* New functions gen_mod:get_opt/2 and gen_mod:get_module_opt/3 are
introduced.
* Functions gen_mod:get_opt/4 and get_module_opt/5 are deprecated.
If the functions are still called, the "function" argument is
simply ignored.
* Validating callback Mod:listen_opt_type/1 is introduced to validate
listening options at startup.
The commit introduces the following changes:
* Now there is no need to pass validating function in
ejabberd_config:get_option() functions, because the configuration
keeps already validated values.
* New function ejabberd_config:get_option/1 is introduced
* Function ejabberd_config:get_option/3 is deprecated. If the function
is still called, the second argument (validating function) is simply
ignored.
* The second argument for ejabberd_config:get_option/2 is now
a default value, not a validating function.
Offline sessions should not be counted when reporting the number of
connected resources.
Apart from that, this number is now also reported when using a
non-default session management backend.
