1 2006-10-15 Giuseppe Bilotta <giuseppe.bilotta@gmail.com>
3 * Language stuff: plugins can now handle language changes in a natural
4 fashion. lart is the first plugin to make use of this. NOTE: this
5 is not (yet) backwards compatible: the old larts/praises files from
6 previous rbot setups have to be renamed manually
7 * Language stuff: italian translations
9 2006-09-21 Giuseppe Bilotta <giuseppe.bilotta@gmail.com>
11 * New Auth Framework: restore backwards compatibility: 'auth
12 <masterpassword>' and 'login owner <masterpassword>' both work.
13 * Topic plugin: cleanups. Implement 'topic undo'. 'topic undo' after a
14 'topic undo' undoes the last undo.
16 2006-09-09 Giuseppe Bilotta <giuseppe.bilotta@gmail.com>
18 * New Auth Framework: rbot was opping anyone who asked for it (opme
19 plugin). Fixed, and cleaned up.
21 2006-09-01 Giuseppe Bilotta <giuseppe.bilotta@gmail.com>
23 * New Auth Framework: document and fine tune permissions view the auth
25 * Version: when run from a svn checkout, the bot now tries to report
26 which svn revision it's at, and if there are local changes
28 2006-08-31 Giuseppe Bilotta <giuseppe.bilotta@gmail.com>
30 * Nickserv plugin: bot will now try to inform nickserv when password
31 is changed. Moreover it's not necessary to specify the nick anymore if
32 you want to change the password for the current bot nick. Also do some
33 internal cleanups while we're at it.
35 2006-08-29 Giuseppe Bilotta <giuseppe.bilotta@gmail.com>
37 * Script plugin: new (UNSAFE!) echo functions. Just like eval, but
38 m.replies the result of the evaluation.
39 * New Auth Framework: config keys now have their own permissions. So
40 you can allow people to view or edit only some of the config values.
41 auth.password defaults to false. Still needs some work.
43 2006-08-26 Giuseppe Bilotta <giuseppe.bilotta@gmail.com>
45 * Plugin message mapper: new implementation. Multi-word parameters now
46 need not be the last, and it is possible to retrieve the entire
47 substring with preserved whitespace by using to_s. Also, parts of the
48 map string can be bracketed to make them optional. Examples:
49 remind :user [about] *stuff
51 remind me about washing my teeth
53 remind me washing my teeth
54 It is possible to have parameters in brackets, in which case they will
55 be optional too, and default to nil or [] (resp. single- and
56 multi-word parameters) unless an alternative is provided in the
57 :defaults hash for the message map options.
58 * Script plugin: new (UNSAFE!) eval function. Not documented in help.
59 Not permitted by default.
61 2006-08-25 Mark Kretschmann <markey@web.de>
63 * Added quiz plugin, a multiplayer trivia quiz game.
65 2006-08-20 Giuseppe Bilotta <giuseppe.bilotta@gmail.com>
67 * Topic plugin: fix a bug that prevented it from loading
69 * New IRC Framework: make sure that NOTICEs and PRIVMSGs do not
70 raise an exception when the target is in one of the special forms
71 #<mask> or $<mask>. Needs some work, though, since this case should be
74 2006-08-17 Giuseppe Bilotta <giuseppe.bilotta@gmail.com>
76 * Fix help: It got broken while rearranging the plugin stuff, now it's
78 * New Auth Framework: forgot to create the InvalidPassword exception.
79 It's a RuntimeError now.
80 * Fix help: this time for real (or so I hope).
81 * New IRC Framework: topic plugin now works correctly.
82 * New Auth Framework: nickserv plugin now defaults to false for its
83 auth, so that only owner can do stuff with it
84 * New Auth Framework: fix horrible typo, assignment instead of
85 equality test when checking for the username during login.
86 * Keywords plugin: tell and forget work again without 'keyword' before
89 2006-08-12 Giuseppe Bilotta <giuseppe.bilotta@gmail.com>
91 * Subregistry: force prefix to be a String with to_s
93 2006-08-11 Giuseppe Bilotta <giuseppe.bilotta@gmail.com>
95 * AutoOp plugin: adapted to the new IRC framework.
96 * AutoOp plugin: trigger autoop on nick change too.
97 * New Auth Framework: allow? method now informs a user when they don't
98 have permission to do what they asked for.
99 * New nickreply and nickokay methods: they act like the old reply
100 method, but include the nick of the user the bot is replying to when
101 talking in public. The usual reply method can be configured to act
102 like this as default.
104 2006-08-10 Giuseppe Bilotta <giuseppe.bilotta@gmail.com>
106 * Fix a bug in new IRC Framework: the list of channels a quitting user was
107 on was not built correctly, causing an exception when the user was not
108 in the first channel in the list of channels.
109 * Fix a bug in new Auth Framework: BotUser's name is changed via
110 username=, not name=.
111 * New HalfLife 2 plugin from ocr: queries online servers for online
112 status and number of users.
114 2006-08-07 Giuseppe Bilotta <giuseppe.bilotta@gmail.com>
116 * Add kick method to kernel: plugins can now use
117 @bot.kick channel, user, reason
118 to kick a user from a channel
119 * RSS plugin: fix rewatch_rss method
120 * RSS plugin: the different ways to represent channels before and
121 after the New IRC Framework was causing strange problems such as
122 watched feed not being listed as such, undeletable watches, double
123 watches etc. Fix this by checking both for the Channel objects and
124 their to_s form when checking for watches or deleting them.
126 2006-08-06 Giuseppe Bilotta <giuseppe.bilotta@gmail.com>
128 * Updating the ChangeLog again: describe the new stuff in trunk which
129 will be made available in the next release. Use Gnu style for new
130 changelog entries (yyyy-mm-dd name <email address>\n<tab> ...):
131 there's a macro for this since at least Vim 6.x and higher, called by
132 <Leader>o (default leader: slash (\))
133 * New IRC Framework: Server, Channels, User, Netmasks etc are all
134 proper Ruby objects. The better organization will allow multi-server
135 connections to be implemented more easily
136 * Modularize core: split the internal functionality from what can be
137 implemented as botmodules (which work just the same as plugins). Move
138 Configuration, Basics and Auth out of the 'kernel' into core
140 * New Auth Framework: BotUsers are now Ruby objects with attached
141 PermissionSets which define what the BotUser can do, by channel if
142 necessary. The new framework allows very fine-grained control while
143 still being very easy to manage for elementary usage. BotUser data can
144 be exported and imported, but no backwards compatibility has been
145 implemented yet. Most plugins still have to be updated to the new
146 command-path-based mechanism.
148 Sun Aug 06 17:33:55 BST 2006 Tom Gilbert <tom@linuxbrit.co.uk>
151 * Changes: Lots of new and updated plugins, including one to poll RSS feeds.
152 A first step towards a better auth system (total revamp due in 0.9.11).
153 Improvements to network and server code which should provide greater
154 stability. A new message queueing mechanism with bitrate throttling. A new
155 logging framework for debugging and tracing the activities of the bot. A
156 new split-db registry system for better performance and transactional
157 usage of bdb for resilience. More integration with Nickserv where
158 available including optional automatic ghost-killing.
160 Wed Sep 07 20:16:46 BST 2005 Tom Gilbert <tom@linuxbrit.co.uk>
162 * Fixed quit, broke it last commit
163 * Fixed trap() for win32
165 Sun Aug 21 13:29:55 BST 2005 Tom Gilbert <tom@linuxbrit.co.uk>
167 * fix for bug in quakenet plugin (trac #14)
168 * multiple fixes for unescaped bot nick in regexp's (trac #13)
170 Fri Aug 12 20:51:38 BST 2005 Tom Gilbert <tom@linuxbrit.co.uk>
172 * fix up autoop plugin a bit
174 Thu Aug 11 00:13:11 BST 2005 Tom Gilbert <tom@linuxbrit.co.uk>
176 * Added two plugins from Robin Kearney <robin@riviera.org.uk>
177 * Threat (US threat level :P)
178 * bash (bash.org quotes)
180 Thu Aug 11 00:04:31 BST 2005 Tom Gilbert <tom@linuxbrit.co.uk>
182 * Patches from "Alexey I. Froloff" <raorn@altlinux.ru>
183 * Do not use "/home/#{Etc.getlogin}/" for default home directory, use
184 "#{Etc.getpwnam(Etc.getlogin).dir}/" instead.
185 * Do not try to load same plugin from different locations. Added ability
186 to disable system-wide plugins - create PLUGIN.rb.disabled in user's
188 * For example, to disable freshmeat plugin installed in /usr/share/rbot/plugins/freshmeat.rb one can create empty file ~/.rbot/plugins/freshmeat.rb.disabled
190 Mon Aug 08 23:08:01 BST 2005 Tom Gilbert <tom@linuxbrit.co.uk>
192 * new markov plugin for random inane chat
194 Sun Aug 07 18:20:24 BST 2005 Tom Gilbert <tom@linuxbrit.co.uk>
196 * stop insult plugin being used to insult the bot
198 Sun Aug 07 17:53:06 BST 2005 Tom Gilbert <tom@linuxbrit.co.uk>
200 * workaround for people without YAML::load_file
201 * quit message for restart
203 Sun Aug 07 15:11:07 BST 2005 Tom Gilbert <tom@linuxbrit.co.uk>
205 * fix address_prefix, broken in 0.9.9, reported by ruskie.
207 Sat Aug 06 00:54:34 BST 2005 Tom Gilbert <tom@linuxbrit.co.uk>
211 Fri Aug 05 23:55:20 BST 2005 Tom Gilbert <tom@linuxbrit.co.uk>
213 * few more tweaks preparing to release 0.9.9
215 Thu Aug 04 23:03:30 BST 2005 Tom Gilbert <tom@linuxbrit.co.uk>
217 * Improved ircd recognition of rfc2812.rb
218 * de-string'd, de-cap'd rfc2812.rb, looks less shouty now
219 * moved the Q auth stuff (for quakenet) into a new qauth plugin (untested!)
220 * finish fixing the httputil
222 Thu Aug 04 00:11:52 BST 2005 Tom Gilbert <tom@linuxbrit.co.uk>
224 * Tweaked the debug() stuff a bit. Need to do this more cleanly really
225 * Added a fair bit of documentation for some of the new features
227 Wed Aug 03 15:25:07 BST 2005 Tom Gilbert <tom@linuxbrit.co.uk>
229 * Added french language file (TODO most of the plugins just talk english)
230 * The way the Enum configs were set up, it wasn't possible to add language
231 files to rbot at runtime (the directory was only scanned at startup). Now
232 you can set a values Proc, which is called to return a list of allowed
233 values whenever it's queried.
234 * Added Config module for determining where we were installed.
235 Unfortunately rubygems is a total whore in this regard, and I hope the
236 current hackery I have to do to support it becomes redundant in the
239 Wed Aug 03 00:31:41 BST 2005 Tom Gilbert <tom@linuxbrit.co.uk>
241 * Added Rakefile, tweaked gemspec
243 Tue Aug 02 16:27:36 BST 2005 Tom Gilbert <tom@linuxbrit.co.uk>
245 * Fixed the new http.proxy* settings, they work!
246 * Fixed a bug with auth-checking for the config module
249 Sun Jul 31 02:20:08 BST 2005 Tom Gilbert <tom@linuxbrit.co.uk>
251 * Updated docgen to generate rdoc again with the new repo structure
252 * added new restart command to the core bot, quits irc and reexecs the
253 bot, to pick up new code/libraries etc.
255 Sat Jul 30 22:33:36 BST 2005 Tom Gilbert <tom@linuxbrit.co.uk>
257 * Config items are now objects, various types are available.
258 * The config wizard will now use registered config items if :wizard is set
259 to true for those items. It will ask questions in the order they were
261 * The config module now works for doing runtime configuration.
264 Sat Jul 30 01:19:32 BST 2005 Tom Gilbert <tom@linuxbrit.co.uk>
266 * config module for configuring the running bot via IRC
267 * BotConfig.register method for various modules and any plugin to register
268 bot configuration which the new config module will expose for them.
269 * various other tweaks as I continue to refactor..
271 Fri Jul 29 13:07:56 BST 2005 Tom Gilbert <tom@linuxbrit.co.uk>
273 * Moved some stuff out of util.rb into the plugins that actually need
274 them. Those methods didn't belong in util as they were plugin-specific.
275 * moved a few more plugins to use map() where appropriate
276 * made the url plugin only store unique urls
278 Thu Jul 28 23:45:26 BST 2005 Tom Gilbert <tom@linuxbrit.co.uk>
280 * Reworked the Timer module. The Timer now has a smart thread manager to
281 start/stop the tick() thread. This means the timer isn't called every 0.1
282 seconds to see what needs doing, which is much more efficient
283 * reworked the ircsocket queue mechanism to use a Timer
284 * reworked the nickserv plugin to use maps
285 * made server.reconnect_wait configurable
286 * added Class tracing mechanism to bin/rbot, use --trace Classname for
289 Tue Jul 26 14:41:34 BST 2005 Tom Gilbert <tom@linuxbrit.co.uk>
291 * Prevent multiple plugin registrations of the same name
292 * reworking the config system to use yaml for persistence
293 * reworking the config system key names
294 * on first startup, the bot will prompt for the essential startup config
295 * new config module for configuring the bot at runtime
296 * new config module includes new configurables, for example changing the
297 bot's language at runtime.
298 * various other fixes
299 * New way of mapping plugins to strings, using maps. These may be
300 familiar to rails users. This is to reduce the amount of regexps plugins
301 currently need to do to parse arguments. The old method (privmsg) is still
302 supported, of course. Example plugin now:
303 def MyPlugin < Plugin
308 def complexfoo(m, params)
309 m.reply "qux! (#{params[:bar]} #{params[:baz]})"
312 plugin = MyPlugin.new
316 # this will match "rbot: foo somestring otherstring" and pass the
317 # parameters as a hash using the names in the map.
318 plugin.map 'foo :bar :baz', :action => 'complexfoo'
319 # this means :foo is an optional parameter
320 plugin.map 'foo :foo', :defaults => {:foo => 'bar'}
321 # you can also gobble up into an array
322 plugin.map 'foo *bar' # params[:bar] will be an array of string elements
323 # and you can validate, here the first param must be a number
324 plugin.map 'foo :bar', :requirements => {:foo => /^\d+$/}
327 Sat Jul 23 01:39:08 BST 2005 Tom Gilbert <tom@linuxbrit.co.uk>
329 * Changed BotConfig to use yaml storage, method syntax instead of hash for
330 get/set, to allow more flexibility and encapsulation
331 * Added convenience method Message.okay (m.okay is the same as the
332 old-style @bot.okay m.replyto)
334 Wed Jul 20 23:30:01 BST 2005 Tom Gilbert <tom@linuxbrit.co.uk>
336 * Move some core plugins to use the new httputil
337 * fix wserver's redirection handling for relative (i.e. broken) redirects
338 * fix tube plugin's html parsing
340 Wed Jul 20 01:18:06 BST 2005 Tom Gilbert <tom@linuxbrit.co.uk>
342 * Add new httputil object to the bot object, to be used by plugins etc
343 that wish to make http requests. It sets up all the proxies etc for them
344 according to bot config.
346 Sat Jul 16 02:23:13 BST 2005 Tom Gilbert <tom@linuxbrit.co.uk>
348 * Apply most of Rene's patch and fix various plugins.
349 * New plugin: autoop (auto ops via hostmask)
350 * New feature: karmastats
352 Wed Oct 13 16:16:31 BST 2004 Tom Gilbert <tom@linuxbrit.co.uk>
354 * Fix bug with quotes plugin where it gets confused and sees both a quote
355 and a keyword, both plugins are triggered by, for example "addquote foo is
357 * fixed this by implementing the "has_responded" flag on a message. When a
358 plugin replied to a message (or it manually sets m.replied to true), the
359 keywords plugin will honour that flag and not examine the message for
360 keywords. This flag can also be checked by listen plugins that don't want to
361 interfere with other plugin commands.
363 Mon Oct 11 00:37:52 BST 2004 Tom Gilbert <tom@linuxbrit.co.uk>
365 * Fixes to the NickServ plugin
367 Sat Oct 09 23:23:24 BST 2004 Tom Gilbert <tom@linuxbrit.co.uk>
371 Fri Oct 08 00:40:07 BST 2004 Tom Gilbert <tom@linuxbrit.co.uk>
373 * fixed insult plugin
374 * fixed excuse plugin
376 Thu Oct 07 23:28:05 BST 2004 Tom Gilbert <tom@linuxbrit.co.uk>
378 * searching for urls in the url plugin
379 * roshambo (rock/paper/scissors) plugin from Hans Fugal <hans@fugal.net>
381 Sat Apr 17 20:56:50 BST 2004 Tom Gilbert <tom@linuxbrit.co.uk>
383 * Oh, found new tv plugin in my inbox from ages ago, but it's still not
384 working so I guess it changed again since then
385 * New eightball plugin from Daniel Free
387 Sat Apr 17 20:44:43 BST 2004 Tom Gilbert <tom@linuxbrit.co.uk>
389 * Fixed the babelfish parser so translate works again.
391 * Note some plugins are broken (excuse,insult) because the server they use
392 went away. I don't know of a replacement right now.
393 * tv plugin seems broken, perhaps the html changed.
395 Thu Jan 15 21:37:38 GMT 2004 Tom Gilbert <tom@linuxbrit.co.uk>
400 * new plugin from Alan Third <alan@idiocy.org>, allows you to search and list
404 * various plugin updates
405 * fix (again) for C to F temp conversion in weather plugin
406 * channel topic patch from Peter Suschlik, gives plugin better access to topic
407 changes and related information
410 * changes to layout of slashdot plugin output
411 * freshmeat plugin, show latest updates or search
412 * fix to C to F temp conversion in weather plugin
413 * status command returns some bot status
415 * using BDB::Btree everywhere now, instead of BDB::Hash, because the Btree api
416 allows me to set my own key comparison function. This is needed to keep
417 supporting case insensitivity (vital for IRC), which was sadly broken in
418 0.9.5 :( All existing dbs will be upgraded automatically.
419 * roulette plugin - play russian roulette :) also keeps game stats.
420 * new config option, NO_KEYWORD_ADDRESS. If set to "true", the bot will always
421 respond to keywords it knows even when not addressed and the message doesn't
422 start with '. Message must end with "?" however.
423 * hopefully fixed welcome message parsing from certain server types
426 * plugin object registry
427 This provides persistant storage for plugins via a hash interface. The
428 default mode is an object store, so you can store ruby objects and reference
429 them with hash keys. This is because the default store/restore methods of
430 the plugins' RegistryAccessor are calls to Marshal.dump and Marshal.restore,
434 @registry[:blah] = blah
435 then, even after the bot is shut down and disconnected, on the next run you
436 can access the blah object as it was, with:
437 blah = @registry[:blah]
438 The registry can of course be used to store simple strings, fixnums, etc as
439 well, and should be useful to store or cache plugin data or dynamic plugin
442 If you don't need to store objects, and strictly want a persistant hash of
443 strings, you can override the store/restore methods to suit your needs, for
444 example (in your plugin):
455 Your plugins section of the registry is private, it has its own namespace
456 (derived from the plugin's class name, so change it and lose your data).
457 Calls to registry.each etc, will only iterate over your namespace.
459 The nickserv and karma plugins use the new registry and should serve as a
460 useful example. Basic usage of the registry is simple, just treat it as a
461 hash, with values that never die (unless you delete() them).
462 * Change to the nickserv plugin. The old method of putting the nickserv
463 password in rbot.conf was useless for multiple nicks or easy updates. The
464 plugin now uses the plugin registry to store passwords for any nicks it
465 owns. The plugin can be told to register the current nick (supply a password
466 or it'll generate one), identify for the current nick (if the password is
467 known), and can be told the passwords for other nicks. If NickServ asks the
468 bot to identify, it will automatically do so if it knows the appropriate
470 * karma plugin now uses the plugin registry, it should automatically import
471 your existing, stored karma data into the registry.
472 * The babelfish plugin now caches results in the bot registry to speed up
474 * New message types and plugin methods to grab them,
475 quit(QuitMessage): Called when a user (or the bot) quits IRC
476 nick(NickMessage): Called when a user (or the bot) changes Nick
477 topic(TopicMessage): Called when a user (or the bot) changes a channel topic
478 * A plugin's listen() method will now receive any kind of Message, e.g.
479 PrivMessage, NoticeMessage, NickMessage, JoinMessage, etc
481 seen: the usual "seen" stuff:
483 giblet was last seen xxx ago doing xxx
484 cal: calls the unix cal program to display a calendar
485 math: evaluates mathematical expressions:
487 rbot: math 4 to the power of 8
488 rbot: math ((232+432) - 4) / 2
489 (ported from infobot. Thanks to Kevin Lenzo, who wrote the
490 original infobot math module)
491 slashdot: displays latest headlines or searches for articles
492 url: stores urls mentioned in channels for regurgitation later
493 weather: grabs and parses METAR weather data, will remember the last weather
494 code you asked for so you don't have to :)
495 * New utility function, Util.http_get(url) for getting remote data via http,
496 just dumps response.body into a string and returns it, or nil if anything at
497 all goes wrong. Useful for simple plugins.
498 * random quit messages if none specified, messages set in language description
500 * keywords are now stored in bdb databases - your old keywords.rbot will be
501 imported. Static keywords (fact packs) are also stored in bdb databases, and
502 rbot will automatically convert any text .fact file dropped in the confdir's
503 keywords subdirectory, at startup, into a bdb file. If both a db and a text
504 file exist of the same name (except the extension), the text file will be
505 imported and merged into the database.
506 static keywords will be looked up in each factpack db in turn, in
507 alphabetical filename order - so you can prioritise using the filename if
509 * fixed a bug with autsplitting long sent lines, the last line was often being
513 * Massive cleanup of rfc2812.rb, contributed by Lars Christensen
514 <dsl8950@vip.cybercity.dk>, gets rid of a lot of regexps
515 * Fixed bug reading static keyword files - "foo <=is=> bar" may not have
516 worked for a couple of releases, only "foo<=is=>bar" was working - this was
517 not intended and should be fixed now
518 * Experimental send queue, to prevent the bot from flooding out, the delay
519 between sending messages to the server defaults to 2s, but is configurable
520 in conf.rbot, set SENDQ_DELAY (0 to disable queueing). You can also set/get
521 the value from the bot, "rbot: options get sendq_delay", and
522 "rbot: options set sendq_delay 1.5", if you have sufficient auth for "config"
523 This is a bursting sendq, most ircd's allow bursts of up to 5
524 lines, with non-burst limits of 512 bytes/2 seconds. To set the burst limit,
525 configure SENDQ_BURST in conf.rbot, or do the same kind of stuff with
526 "rbot: options set sendq_burst 2", etc.
527 The defaults are 2s/4 burst, which seem to work okay for me.
528 * support for multiple, customisable, addressing prefixes. Set ADDRESS_PREFIX
529 in conf.rbot to a space separate list of addressing prefixes, e.g
530 ADDRESS_PREFIX = | ! =>
531 Would mean that all of the following in channel messages would cause the bot
537 * bb plugin removed, bb is nearly over and it doesn't work 100% anyway
538 * Two plugins from brailsmt (from #ruby-lang on openprojects), a stats plugin
539 which monitors usage of 1-word sentences, and lart, which allows you to ask
540 rbot to lart people - with an optional reason - larts are user-definable and
541 can be added on the fly.
542 * made google.rb work for people with 1.6 ruby's net/http
547 * new plugin for handling nickserv-protected nicks, use NICKSERV_PASSWORD in
549 * fixes to a few other buglets
550 * new plugin to grab bigbrother headlines, still buggy and only useful for UK
551 folks who love bb :-)
552 * fixes to various plugins
553 * Patch from akira yamada <akira@ruby-lang.org>
554 DNS plugin: Use resolv-replace if found, do lookup in new thread
555 Fix bug joining channels with keys
559 * better "connect failure" error message
560 * better option parsing, and --debug option
561 * access to bot's online help via commandline, eg:
563 ./rbot.rb --help core
564 ./rbot.rb --help "core save"
565 * Fix broken help from last point release
566 * Plugin API modification and cleanup. You no longer need to set @listen to
567 true in order to get all NOTICE and PRIVMSGs, you just need to define the
568 method. The method is now called listen(), renamed from listener(). This
569 should be the last time the plugin api is changed incompatibly.
570 * New plugin method kick(). Use it to see kicks (duh :))
571 * New plugin methods join(), part(). Obvious uses.
572 * Example plugin autorejoin.rb, uses kick event to rejoin channel and insult
574 * fix bug in remind plugins "remind me no more" recognition.
578 * Fix welcome message recognition for certain IRCd's.
582 * Allow keyword definitions which end in '?', like this:
584 * rdoc documentation!
585 * fixed broken address regexp, "rbot: .foo" was being treated as an addressed
586 form of "foo" (lost the .)
587 * fix stupid bug in last release (looking for wrong default conf dir)
591 * Tarball layout change. modules all in rbot/ now, and the rbot/ default
592 configuration moved to rbotconf/. This lets the thing run from an unpacked
593 tarball while also being ready to run with the modules installed somewhere
595 * change hashbang to /usr/bin/env ruby, in order to use PATH looking for ruby,
597 * allow "botnick : foo" style addressing, and even "botnick... foo"
598 * slap plugin (contributed by oct)
599 * renamed bot.send to bot.sendmsg, I didn't really want to override send() ;D
603 * Made sane for packagers. Looks in the right places for plugins and language
604 files now, so extra effort shouldn't be needed there.
608 * Fixed "nick taken on join" bug
609 * Dice plugin patch from David Dorward
610 * fix searchquote regexp
611 * conf.rbot: PASSWORD -> SERVER_PASSWORD, to prevent confusion with PASSWD,
612 which is for master auth.
616 * Fixed addquote (was incrementing quote ID twice)
617 * now strips colour/bold escapes from incoming messages (rbot was ignoring
618 messages addressed using a bolded colon, for example).
620 * more language breadth
621 * Addressing works better now
622 * Can autojoin channels with keys, conf.rbot line is:
623 autojoin_channels #chan1, #chan2, #chan3 key, #chan4 key, #chan5
