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.
This allows the authentication modules to perform SASL proxy authentication. It puts the onus on them to authorize the authcid to masquerade as the authzid. Doesn't currently implement such functionality in existing auth modules, since they cannot currently codify a relationship between the two identities. Does not permit the authzid to use a domain differently from the one of the connection.
Note: digest might not work, but I have no interest in it, being deprecated.
For couple years browsers did limit ability to change cookies from js
for different domains, this made http_poll connections practically not
usuable. I don't think this module is used at all so it's time to put it
to rest.
