The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit adds a new plugin feature: the ability for plugin authors to register a 'custommsg' hook with a filter list, so the hook is only invoked for specific custom message types. It is a feature enhancement, not a security fix. There is no indication in the commit or supplied references that this resolves a known vulnerability.

Recommended action

No security action required. Treat as a normal feature commit. Plugin developers may review the new filtering capability for potential logic errors in their own hook filters.
