This allows UI scripts (saved in preferences) to access
os.* functions (non-sandboxed), while preventing other
scripts to do so.
Lua scripts that can run os commands can execute arbitrary
code on the system. While this is a nice feature, it can be
equally dangerous.
This is mostly a simple lexical search+replace but the absence of operator< for
std::weak_ptr<T> leads to some complications, particularly with Evoral::Sequence
and ExportPortChannel.
Copyright-holder and year information is extracted from git log.
git history begins in 2005. So (C) from 1998..2005 is lost. Also some
(C) assignment of commits where the committer didn't use --author.
Previously EditorAction and ExitorHook scripts were saved with
instant.xml. The were saved with each session and in the config
dir (for new sessions). This allowed inconsistent UI setups, especially
when loading old sessions that had no or different scripts.
Now Editor scripts (actions and hooks) are saved in a dedicated file,
session-independently. This goes along with ui_config in general
e.g. action-table-columns
The scripts are not saved with ui_config file for two reasons:
ui_config settings related to built-in ui_config_vars.h,
and in the future there may be further indirection like "ui-rc-file".
Note: previously loaded editor scripts are lost with this change.
