[PATCH 01/13] plugins: allow plugin arguments to be passed directly |
Date: |
Sat, 17 Jul 2021 12:09:08 +0200 |
Passing arguments to plugins had to be done through "arg=<argname>".
This is redundant and introduces confusion especially when the argument
has a name and value (e.g. `-plugin plugin_name,arg="argname=argvalue"`).
This allows passing plugin arguments directly e.g:
`-plugin plugin_name,argname=argvalue`
For now, passing arguments through "arg=" is still supports but outputs
a deprecation warning.
Also, this commit makes boolean arguments passed to plugins in the
`argname=on|off` form instead of the deprecated short-boolean form.
