Since we got rid of all bottle-neck processes and we have
a connection pool for every database, the option is no longer
needed and in fact is detrimental: in practice what you get
is just a bunch of overloaded processes in the IQ handlers pool
no matter how much you increase the `iqdisc` value.
Given that there are close to zero operators understanding
the meaning of the option and, hence, not using it all,
it's not simply deprecated but completely removed.
The commit also deprecates the following functions:
- gen_iq_handler:add_iq_handler/6
- gen_iq_handler:handle/5
- gen_iq_handler:iqdisc/1
When the option is set to `true`, the module will generate
CAPTCHA challenges for incoming subscription requests. The option
also implies that option `drop` is set to `true`. Note that
the module won't generate CAPTCHA challenges for messages: they
will still be rejected if `drop` is set to `true`.
Fixes#2246
The callback is supposed to provide known options and their default
values, as long as the documentation. Passing default values into
get_mod functions is now deprecated: all defaults should be provided
by the Mod:mod_options/1 callback.
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.
Now 'From' and 'To' arguments must be omitted in functions
and structures related to routing.
The commit deprecates the following functions:
ejabberd_router:route/3 in favor of ejabberd_router:route/1
ejabberd_router:route_error/4 in favor of ejabberd_router:route_error/2
ejabberd_local:route_iq/4 in favor of ejabberd_local:route_iq/2
ejabberd_local:route_iq/5 in favor of ejabberd_local:route_iq/3
The format of {route, From, To, Packet} is changed in favor of {route, Packet}
