The decision isn't up to me, but I think this is a good idea. Here's a
patch that would update the documentation and hooks.py, as well as hooks.c.
FYI, if this patch is applied then anyone who's still trying to use a
goto_url_hook that expects a second argument will get a "Browser scripting
error" dialog box that says:
An error occurred while running a Python script:
TypeError: goto_url_hook() takes exactly 2 arguments (1 given)
It has no useful effect here, because Make runs the next command in
a separate shell process that does not inherit the working directory
from this one.
As commit 7db8abf6e7 does for Lua
and the document info box, change the Python scripting backend's
current_document and current_header APIs to use document->cached
instead of find_in_cached so the currently displayed document
will be used rather than the latest version of the document.
The numbering of document.dump.color_mode and terminal._template_.colors
is now the same regardless of compile-time options, unlike in previous
versions. Therefore this version of ELinks may interpret a configuration
file differently from previous versions even if compiled with the same
options. This is unfortunate but the alternatives (keeping the numbering
dependent on configuration options; defining separate options that use
the new numbering; starting the numbers from 10 or so and recognizing the
previous ones only for compatibility) seem even worse.
This does not conflict with querying the palette from xterm (bug 890)
because although those palettes would have to be modifiable, they
would be terminal-specific rather than global.
