* Add consistent monotonic day counter - get_day_count()Auke Kok2016-03-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I've written several experimental bits of code that revolve around the need for a consistent calendar, but implementing one is extremely hard in mods due to time changes and mods overriding core.get_timeofday(), which will conflict. The second part of the problem is that doing this from a mod requires constant maintenance of a settings file. An implementation in core is trivial, however, and solves all of these problems at virtually no cost: No extra branches in server steps, and a single branch when minetest.set_time_of_day(), which is entirely reasonable. We store the day_count value in env_meta.txt. The use case is obvious: This change allows mods to create an actual virtual calendar, or properly account for seasonal changes, etc.. We add a "/days" chatcommand that displays the current day count. No permissions are needed. It can only retrieve the day count, not modify it.

* Fix a mistake in the world format documentationAleksey Vorona2016-03-03
| | | | | | Fixed a minor mistake that made it appear as if the inventory is serialized multiple times - once per each variable. In fact it is serialized once per each node.
* Add Lua interface to HTTPFetchRequestJeija2016-02-22
| | | | | | | | | | This allows mods to perform both asynchronous and synchronous HTTP requests. Mods are only granted access to HTTP APIs if either mod security is disabled or if they are whitelisted in any of the the secure.http_mods and secure.trusted_mods settings. Adds httpfetch_caller_alloc_secure to generate random, non-predictable caller IDs so that lua mods cannot spy on each others HTTP queries.
* Require request_insecure_environment to be called from the mod's main scopeShadowNinja2016-02-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Previously you could steal a secure environment from a trusted mod by wrapping request_insecure_environment with some code like this: local rie_cp = minetest.request_insecure_environment local stolen_ie function minetest.request_insecure_environment() local ie = rie_cp() stolen_ie = stolen_ie or ie return ie end
* Initialize facedir and wallmounted tables only once.Diego Martinez2016-02-11
| | | | | | | | | | This makes the functions a bit faster since they don't have to recreate the tables every invocation, and makes the code more readable. Also, document `wallmounted_to_dir`. The function was implemented but not documented in `lua_api.txt`.

* New timer design.Auke Kok2016-01-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I could honestly not make much sense of the timer implementation that was here. Instead I've implemented the type of timer algorithm that I've used before, and tested it instead. The concept is extremely simple: all timers are put in an ordered list. We check every server tick if any of the timers have elapsed, and execute the function associated with this timer. We know that many timers by themselves cause new timers to be added to this list, so we iterate *backwards* over the timer list. This means that new timers being added while timers are being executed, can never be executed in the same function pass, as they are always appended to the table *after* the end of the table, which we will never reach in the current pass over all the table elements. We switch time keeping to minetest.get_us_time(). dtime is likely unreliable and we have our own high-res timer that we can fix if it is indeed broken. This removes the need to do any sort of time keeping.
* Clocksource: use a better clock if available.Auke Kok2016-01-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | clock_gettime() is a far better clock than gettimeofday(). Even better than clock_gettime() is that you can select either CLOCK_MONOTONIC, or even CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW. These clocks offer high precision time. And the _RAW variant will never roll back due to NTP drift or daylight savings, or otherwise. I've adjusted this code to select the right clock method auto- matically based on what's available in the OS. This means that if you're running a very old linux version, MacOS or other, you will automatically get the best clocksource available. I've tested all Linux clocksources by selectively compiling and running a 10k+ timer test suite. In all cases I confirmed that the 3 POSIX Linux clocksources worked properly, and were selected properly. I've modified the OS X compile path to use the high-res clock source for all time functions, but I can't confirm it works or that it compiles. As for WIN32, I confirmed that the used clocksource is indeed a Monotonic clocksource, so good news: that code section appears to be exactly what it should be.
* Allow per-tiles culling.Auke Kok2016-01-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Backface culling is enabled by default for all tiles, as this is how the lua parser initializes each tiledef. We revert to always using the value from the tiledef since it is always read and serialized. Mods that wish to enable culling for e.g. mesh nodes, now can specify the following to enable backface culling: tiles = {{ name = "tex.png", backface_culling = true }}, Note the double '{' and use of 'name' key here! In the same fashion, backface_culling can be disabled for any node now. I've tested this against the new door models and this properly allows me to disable culling per node. I've also tested this against my crops mod which uses mesh nodes where culling needs to be disabled, and tested also with plantlike drawtype nodes where we want this to continue to be disabled. No default setting has changed. The defaults are just migrated from nodedef.cpp to c_content.cpp.

* Add server side ncurses terminalest312015-11-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This adds a chat console the server owner can use for administration or to talk with players. It runs in its own thread, which makes the user interface immune to the server's lag, behaving just like a client, except timeout. As it uses the same console code as the f10 console, things like nick completion or a scroll buffer basically come for free. The terminal itself is written in a general way so that adding a client version later on is just about implementing an interface. Fatal errors are printed after the console exists and the ncurses terminal buffer gets cleaned up with endwin(), so that the error still remains visible. The server owner can chose their username their entered text will have in chat and where players can send PMs to. Once the username is secured with a password to prevent anybody to take over the server, the owner can execute admin tasks over the console. This change includes a contribution by @kahrl who has improved ncurses library detection.

This doesn't need a serialisation version or network protocol version change, as old clients will still work on new servers, and it is bearable to have new clients getting non rotated plants on old servers.
