3 * Salut plugin: handles (multilingual) salutations (hello/goodbye)
5 2006-10-15 Giuseppe Bilotta <giuseppe.bilotta@gmail.com>
7 * Language stuff: plugins can now handle language changes in a natural
8 fashion. lart is the first plugin to make use of this. NOTE: this
9 is not (yet) backwards compatible: the old larts/praises files from
10 previous rbot setups have to be renamed manually
11 * Language stuff: italian translations
12 * Utils.safe_save(filename): allows 'safe' saving of a file: it needs a
13 block, to which it will yield a temporary file on which operations can
14 be carried out. When the block returns, the tempfile will be renamed to
17 2006-09-21 Giuseppe Bilotta <giuseppe.bilotta@gmail.com>
19 * New Auth Framework: restore backwards compatibility: 'auth
20 <masterpassword>' and 'login owner <masterpassword>' both work.
21 * Topic plugin: cleanups. Implement 'topic undo'. 'topic undo' after a
22 'topic undo' undoes the last undo.
24 2006-09-09 Giuseppe Bilotta <giuseppe.bilotta@gmail.com>
26 * New Auth Framework: rbot was opping anyone who asked for it (opme
27 plugin). Fixed, and cleaned up.
29 2006-09-01 Giuseppe Bilotta <giuseppe.bilotta@gmail.com>
31 * New Auth Framework: document and fine tune permissions view the auth
33 * Version: when run from a svn checkout, the bot now tries to report
34 which svn revision it's at, and if there are local changes
36 2006-08-31 Giuseppe Bilotta <giuseppe.bilotta@gmail.com>
38 * Nickserv plugin: bot will now try to inform nickserv when password
39 is changed. Moreover it's not necessary to specify the nick anymore if
40 you want to change the password for the current bot nick. Also do some
41 internal cleanups while we're at it.
43 2006-08-29 Giuseppe Bilotta <giuseppe.bilotta@gmail.com>
45 * Script plugin: new (UNSAFE!) echo functions. Just like eval, but
46 m.replies the result of the evaluation.
47 * New Auth Framework: config keys now have their own permissions. So
48 you can allow people to view or edit only some of the config values.
49 auth.password defaults to false. Still needs some work.
51 2006-08-26 Giuseppe Bilotta <giuseppe.bilotta@gmail.com>
53 * Plugin message mapper: new implementation. Multi-word parameters now
54 need not be the last, and it is possible to retrieve the entire
55 substring with preserved whitespace by using to_s. Also, parts of the
56 map string can be bracketed to make them optional. Examples:
57 remind :user [about] *stuff
59 remind me about washing my teeth
61 remind me washing my teeth
62 It is possible to have parameters in brackets, in which case they will
63 be optional too, and default to nil or [] (resp. single- and
64 multi-word parameters) unless an alternative is provided in the
65 :defaults hash for the message map options.
66 * Script plugin: new (UNSAFE!) eval function. Not documented in help.
67 Not permitted by default.
69 2006-08-25 Mark Kretschmann <markey@web.de>
71 * Added quiz plugin, a multiplayer trivia quiz game.
73 2006-08-20 Giuseppe Bilotta <giuseppe.bilotta@gmail.com>
75 * Topic plugin: fix a bug that prevented it from loading
77 * New IRC Framework: make sure that NOTICEs and PRIVMSGs do not
78 raise an exception when the target is in one of the special forms
79 #<mask> or $<mask>. Needs some work, though, since this case should be
82 2006-08-17 Giuseppe Bilotta <giuseppe.bilotta@gmail.com>
84 * Fix help: It got broken while rearranging the plugin stuff, now it's
86 * New Auth Framework: forgot to create the InvalidPassword exception.
87 It's a RuntimeError now.
88 * Fix help: this time for real (or so I hope).
89 * New IRC Framework: topic plugin now works correctly.
90 * New Auth Framework: nickserv plugin now defaults to false for its
91 auth, so that only owner can do stuff with it
92 * New Auth Framework: fix horrible typo, assignment instead of
93 equality test when checking for the username during login.
94 * Keywords plugin: tell and forget work again without 'keyword' before
97 2006-08-12 Giuseppe Bilotta <giuseppe.bilotta@gmail.com>
99 * Subregistry: force prefix to be a String with to_s
101 2006-08-11 Giuseppe Bilotta <giuseppe.bilotta@gmail.com>
103 * AutoOp plugin: adapted to the new IRC framework.
104 * AutoOp plugin: trigger autoop on nick change too.
105 * New Auth Framework: allow? method now informs a user when they don't
106 have permission to do what they asked for.
107 * New nickreply and nickokay methods: they act like the old reply
108 method, but include the nick of the user the bot is replying to when
109 talking in public. The usual reply method can be configured to act
110 like this as default.
112 2006-08-10 Giuseppe Bilotta <giuseppe.bilotta@gmail.com>
114 * Fix a bug in new IRC Framework: the list of channels a quitting user was
115 on was not built correctly, causing an exception when the user was not
116 in the first channel in the list of channels.
117 * Fix a bug in new Auth Framework: BotUser's name is changed via
118 username=, not name=.
119 * New HalfLife 2 plugin from ocr: queries online servers for online
120 status and number of users.
122 2006-08-07 Giuseppe Bilotta <giuseppe.bilotta@gmail.com>
124 * Add kick method to kernel: plugins can now use
125 @bot.kick channel, user, reason
126 to kick a user from a channel
127 * RSS plugin: fix rewatch_rss method
128 * RSS plugin: the different ways to represent channels before and
129 after the New IRC Framework was causing strange problems such as
130 watched feed not being listed as such, undeletable watches, double
131 watches etc. Fix this by checking both for the Channel objects and
132 their to_s form when checking for watches or deleting them.
134 2006-08-06 Giuseppe Bilotta <giuseppe.bilotta@gmail.com>
136 * Updating the ChangeLog again: describe the new stuff in trunk which
137 will be made available in the next release. Use Gnu style for new
138 changelog entries (yyyy-mm-dd name <email address>\n<tab> ...):
139 there's a macro for this since at least Vim 6.x and higher, called by
140 <Leader>o (default leader: slash (\))
141 * New IRC Framework: Server, Channels, User, Netmasks etc are all
142 proper Ruby objects. The better organization will allow multi-server
143 connections to be implemented more easily
144 * Modularize core: split the internal functionality from what can be
145 implemented as botmodules (which work just the same as plugins). Move
146 Configuration, Basics and Auth out of the 'kernel' into core
148 * New Auth Framework: BotUsers are now Ruby objects with attached
149 PermissionSets which define what the BotUser can do, by channel if
150 necessary. The new framework allows very fine-grained control while
151 still being very easy to manage for elementary usage. BotUser data can
152 be exported and imported, but no backwards compatibility has been
153 implemented yet. Most plugins still have to be updated to the new
154 command-path-based mechanism.
156 Sun Aug 06 17:33:55 BST 2006 Tom Gilbert <tom@linuxbrit.co.uk>
159 * Changes: Lots of new and updated plugins, including one to poll RSS feeds.
160 A first step towards a better auth system (total revamp due in 0.9.11).
161 Improvements to network and server code which should provide greater
162 stability. A new message queueing mechanism with bitrate throttling. A new
163 logging framework for debugging and tracing the activities of the bot. A
164 new split-db registry system for better performance and transactional
165 usage of bdb for resilience. More integration with Nickserv where
166 available including optional automatic ghost-killing.
168 Wed Sep 07 20:16:46 BST 2005 Tom Gilbert <tom@linuxbrit.co.uk>
170 * Fixed quit, broke it last commit
171 * Fixed trap() for win32
173 Sun Aug 21 13:29:55 BST 2005 Tom Gilbert <tom@linuxbrit.co.uk>
175 * fix for bug in quakenet plugin (trac #14)
176 * multiple fixes for unescaped bot nick in regexp's (trac #13)
178 Fri Aug 12 20:51:38 BST 2005 Tom Gilbert <tom@linuxbrit.co.uk>
180 * fix up autoop plugin a bit
182 Thu Aug 11 00:13:11 BST 2005 Tom Gilbert <tom@linuxbrit.co.uk>
184 * Added two plugins from Robin Kearney <robin@riviera.org.uk>
185 * Threat (US threat level :P)
186 * bash (bash.org quotes)
188 Thu Aug 11 00:04:31 BST 2005 Tom Gilbert <tom@linuxbrit.co.uk>
190 * Patches from "Alexey I. Froloff" <raorn@altlinux.ru>
191 * Do not use "/home/#{Etc.getlogin}/" for default home directory, use
192 "#{Etc.getpwnam(Etc.getlogin).dir}/" instead.
193 * Do not try to load same plugin from different locations. Added ability
194 to disable system-wide plugins - create PLUGIN.rb.disabled in user's
196 * For example, to disable freshmeat plugin installed in /usr/share/rbot/plugins/freshmeat.rb one can create empty file ~/.rbot/plugins/freshmeat.rb.disabled
198 Mon Aug 08 23:08:01 BST 2005 Tom Gilbert <tom@linuxbrit.co.uk>
200 * new markov plugin for random inane chat
202 Sun Aug 07 18:20:24 BST 2005 Tom Gilbert <tom@linuxbrit.co.uk>
204 * stop insult plugin being used to insult the bot
206 Sun Aug 07 17:53:06 BST 2005 Tom Gilbert <tom@linuxbrit.co.uk>
208 * workaround for people without YAML::load_file
209 * quit message for restart
211 Sun Aug 07 15:11:07 BST 2005 Tom Gilbert <tom@linuxbrit.co.uk>
213 * fix address_prefix, broken in 0.9.9, reported by ruskie.
215 Sat Aug 06 00:54:34 BST 2005 Tom Gilbert <tom@linuxbrit.co.uk>
219 Fri Aug 05 23:55:20 BST 2005 Tom Gilbert <tom@linuxbrit.co.uk>
221 * few more tweaks preparing to release 0.9.9
223 Thu Aug 04 23:03:30 BST 2005 Tom Gilbert <tom@linuxbrit.co.uk>
225 * Improved ircd recognition of rfc2812.rb
226 * de-string'd, de-cap'd rfc2812.rb, looks less shouty now
227 * moved the Q auth stuff (for quakenet) into a new qauth plugin (untested!)
228 * finish fixing the httputil
230 Thu Aug 04 00:11:52 BST 2005 Tom Gilbert <tom@linuxbrit.co.uk>
232 * Tweaked the debug() stuff a bit. Need to do this more cleanly really
233 * Added a fair bit of documentation for some of the new features
235 Wed Aug 03 15:25:07 BST 2005 Tom Gilbert <tom@linuxbrit.co.uk>
237 * Added french language file (TODO most of the plugins just talk english)
238 * The way the Enum configs were set up, it wasn't possible to add language
239 files to rbot at runtime (the directory was only scanned at startup). Now
240 you can set a values Proc, which is called to return a list of allowed
241 values whenever it's queried.
242 * Added Config module for determining where we were installed.
243 Unfortunately rubygems is a total whore in this regard, and I hope the
244 current hackery I have to do to support it becomes redundant in the
247 Wed Aug 03 00:31:41 BST 2005 Tom Gilbert <tom@linuxbrit.co.uk>
249 * Added Rakefile, tweaked gemspec
251 Tue Aug 02 16:27:36 BST 2005 Tom Gilbert <tom@linuxbrit.co.uk>
253 * Fixed the new http.proxy* settings, they work!
254 * Fixed a bug with auth-checking for the config module
257 Sun Jul 31 02:20:08 BST 2005 Tom Gilbert <tom@linuxbrit.co.uk>
259 * Updated docgen to generate rdoc again with the new repo structure
260 * added new restart command to the core bot, quits irc and reexecs the
261 bot, to pick up new code/libraries etc.
263 Sat Jul 30 22:33:36 BST 2005 Tom Gilbert <tom@linuxbrit.co.uk>
265 * Config items are now objects, various types are available.
266 * The config wizard will now use registered config items if :wizard is set
267 to true for those items. It will ask questions in the order they were
269 * The config module now works for doing runtime configuration.
272 Sat Jul 30 01:19:32 BST 2005 Tom Gilbert <tom@linuxbrit.co.uk>
274 * config module for configuring the running bot via IRC
275 * BotConfig.register method for various modules and any plugin to register
276 bot configuration which the new config module will expose for them.
277 * various other tweaks as I continue to refactor..
279 Fri Jul 29 13:07:56 BST 2005 Tom Gilbert <tom@linuxbrit.co.uk>
281 * Moved some stuff out of util.rb into the plugins that actually need
282 them. Those methods didn't belong in util as they were plugin-specific.
283 * moved a few more plugins to use map() where appropriate
284 * made the url plugin only store unique urls
286 Thu Jul 28 23:45:26 BST 2005 Tom Gilbert <tom@linuxbrit.co.uk>
288 * Reworked the Timer module. The Timer now has a smart thread manager to
289 start/stop the tick() thread. This means the timer isn't called every 0.1
290 seconds to see what needs doing, which is much more efficient
291 * reworked the ircsocket queue mechanism to use a Timer
292 * reworked the nickserv plugin to use maps
293 * made server.reconnect_wait configurable
294 * added Class tracing mechanism to bin/rbot, use --trace Classname for
297 Tue Jul 26 14:41:34 BST 2005 Tom Gilbert <tom@linuxbrit.co.uk>
299 * Prevent multiple plugin registrations of the same name
300 * reworking the config system to use yaml for persistence
301 * reworking the config system key names
302 * on first startup, the bot will prompt for the essential startup config
303 * new config module for configuring the bot at runtime
304 * new config module includes new configurables, for example changing the
305 bot's language at runtime.
306 * various other fixes
307 * New way of mapping plugins to strings, using maps. These may be
308 familiar to rails users. This is to reduce the amount of regexps plugins
309 currently need to do to parse arguments. The old method (privmsg) is still
310 supported, of course. Example plugin now:
311 def MyPlugin < Plugin
316 def complexfoo(m, params)
317 m.reply "qux! (#{params[:bar]} #{params[:baz]})"
320 plugin = MyPlugin.new
324 # this will match "rbot: foo somestring otherstring" and pass the
325 # parameters as a hash using the names in the map.
326 plugin.map 'foo :bar :baz', :action => 'complexfoo'
327 # this means :foo is an optional parameter
328 plugin.map 'foo :foo', :defaults => {:foo => 'bar'}
329 # you can also gobble up into an array
330 plugin.map 'foo *bar' # params[:bar] will be an array of string elements
331 # and you can validate, here the first param must be a number
332 plugin.map 'foo :bar', :requirements => {:foo => /^\d+$/}
335 Sat Jul 23 01:39:08 BST 2005 Tom Gilbert <tom@linuxbrit.co.uk>
337 * Changed BotConfig to use yaml storage, method syntax instead of hash for
338 get/set, to allow more flexibility and encapsulation
339 * Added convenience method Message.okay (m.okay is the same as the
340 old-style @bot.okay m.replyto)
342 Wed Jul 20 23:30:01 BST 2005 Tom Gilbert <tom@linuxbrit.co.uk>
344 * Move some core plugins to use the new httputil
345 * fix wserver's redirection handling for relative (i.e. broken) redirects
346 * fix tube plugin's html parsing
348 Wed Jul 20 01:18:06 BST 2005 Tom Gilbert <tom@linuxbrit.co.uk>
350 * Add new httputil object to the bot object, to be used by plugins etc
351 that wish to make http requests. It sets up all the proxies etc for them
352 according to bot config.
354 Sat Jul 16 02:23:13 BST 2005 Tom Gilbert <tom@linuxbrit.co.uk>
356 * Apply most of Rene's patch and fix various plugins.
357 * New plugin: autoop (auto ops via hostmask)
358 * New feature: karmastats
360 Wed Oct 13 16:16:31 BST 2004 Tom Gilbert <tom@linuxbrit.co.uk>
362 * Fix bug with quotes plugin where it gets confused and sees both a quote
363 and a keyword, both plugins are triggered by, for example "addquote foo is
365 * fixed this by implementing the "has_responded" flag on a message. When a
366 plugin replied to a message (or it manually sets m.replied to true), the
367 keywords plugin will honour that flag and not examine the message for
368 keywords. This flag can also be checked by listen plugins that don't want to
369 interfere with other plugin commands.
371 Mon Oct 11 00:37:52 BST 2004 Tom Gilbert <tom@linuxbrit.co.uk>
373 * Fixes to the NickServ plugin
375 Sat Oct 09 23:23:24 BST 2004 Tom Gilbert <tom@linuxbrit.co.uk>
379 Fri Oct 08 00:40:07 BST 2004 Tom Gilbert <tom@linuxbrit.co.uk>
381 * fixed insult plugin
382 * fixed excuse plugin
384 Thu Oct 07 23:28:05 BST 2004 Tom Gilbert <tom@linuxbrit.co.uk>
386 * searching for urls in the url plugin
387 * roshambo (rock/paper/scissors) plugin from Hans Fugal <hans@fugal.net>
389 Sat Apr 17 20:56:50 BST 2004 Tom Gilbert <tom@linuxbrit.co.uk>
391 * Oh, found new tv plugin in my inbox from ages ago, but it's still not
392 working so I guess it changed again since then
393 * New eightball plugin from Daniel Free
395 Sat Apr 17 20:44:43 BST 2004 Tom Gilbert <tom@linuxbrit.co.uk>
397 * Fixed the babelfish parser so translate works again.
399 * Note some plugins are broken (excuse,insult) because the server they use
400 went away. I don't know of a replacement right now.
401 * tv plugin seems broken, perhaps the html changed.
403 Thu Jan 15 21:37:38 GMT 2004 Tom Gilbert <tom@linuxbrit.co.uk>
408 * new plugin from Alan Third <alan@idiocy.org>, allows you to search and list
412 * various plugin updates
413 * fix (again) for C to F temp conversion in weather plugin
414 * channel topic patch from Peter Suschlik, gives plugin better access to topic
415 changes and related information
418 * changes to layout of slashdot plugin output
419 * freshmeat plugin, show latest updates or search
420 * fix to C to F temp conversion in weather plugin
421 * status command returns some bot status
423 * using BDB::Btree everywhere now, instead of BDB::Hash, because the Btree api
424 allows me to set my own key comparison function. This is needed to keep
425 supporting case insensitivity (vital for IRC), which was sadly broken in
426 0.9.5 :( All existing dbs will be upgraded automatically.
427 * roulette plugin - play russian roulette :) also keeps game stats.
428 * new config option, NO_KEYWORD_ADDRESS. If set to "true", the bot will always
429 respond to keywords it knows even when not addressed and the message doesn't
430 start with '. Message must end with "?" however.
431 * hopefully fixed welcome message parsing from certain server types
434 * plugin object registry
435 This provides persistant storage for plugins via a hash interface. The
436 default mode is an object store, so you can store ruby objects and reference
437 them with hash keys. This is because the default store/restore methods of
438 the plugins' RegistryAccessor are calls to Marshal.dump and Marshal.restore,
442 @registry[:blah] = blah
443 then, even after the bot is shut down and disconnected, on the next run you
444 can access the blah object as it was, with:
445 blah = @registry[:blah]
446 The registry can of course be used to store simple strings, fixnums, etc as
447 well, and should be useful to store or cache plugin data or dynamic plugin
450 If you don't need to store objects, and strictly want a persistant hash of
451 strings, you can override the store/restore methods to suit your needs, for
452 example (in your plugin):
463 Your plugins section of the registry is private, it has its own namespace
464 (derived from the plugin's class name, so change it and lose your data).
465 Calls to registry.each etc, will only iterate over your namespace.
467 The nickserv and karma plugins use the new registry and should serve as a
468 useful example. Basic usage of the registry is simple, just treat it as a
469 hash, with values that never die (unless you delete() them).
470 * Change to the nickserv plugin. The old method of putting the nickserv
471 password in rbot.conf was useless for multiple nicks or easy updates. The
472 plugin now uses the plugin registry to store passwords for any nicks it
473 owns. The plugin can be told to register the current nick (supply a password
474 or it'll generate one), identify for the current nick (if the password is
475 known), and can be told the passwords for other nicks. If NickServ asks the
476 bot to identify, it will automatically do so if it knows the appropriate
478 * karma plugin now uses the plugin registry, it should automatically import
479 your existing, stored karma data into the registry.
480 * The babelfish plugin now caches results in the bot registry to speed up
482 * New message types and plugin methods to grab them,
483 quit(QuitMessage): Called when a user (or the bot) quits IRC
484 nick(NickMessage): Called when a user (or the bot) changes Nick
485 topic(TopicMessage): Called when a user (or the bot) changes a channel topic
486 * A plugin's listen() method will now receive any kind of Message, e.g.
487 PrivMessage, NoticeMessage, NickMessage, JoinMessage, etc
489 seen: the usual "seen" stuff:
491 giblet was last seen xxx ago doing xxx
492 cal: calls the unix cal program to display a calendar
493 math: evaluates mathematical expressions:
495 rbot: math 4 to the power of 8
496 rbot: math ((232+432) - 4) / 2
497 (ported from infobot. Thanks to Kevin Lenzo, who wrote the
498 original infobot math module)
499 slashdot: displays latest headlines or searches for articles
500 url: stores urls mentioned in channels for regurgitation later
501 weather: grabs and parses METAR weather data, will remember the last weather
502 code you asked for so you don't have to :)
503 * New utility function, Util.http_get(url) for getting remote data via http,
504 just dumps response.body into a string and returns it, or nil if anything at
505 all goes wrong. Useful for simple plugins.
506 * random quit messages if none specified, messages set in language description
508 * keywords are now stored in bdb databases - your old keywords.rbot will be
509 imported. Static keywords (fact packs) are also stored in bdb databases, and
510 rbot will automatically convert any text .fact file dropped in the confdir's
511 keywords subdirectory, at startup, into a bdb file. If both a db and a text
512 file exist of the same name (except the extension), the text file will be
513 imported and merged into the database.
514 static keywords will be looked up in each factpack db in turn, in
515 alphabetical filename order - so you can prioritise using the filename if
517 * fixed a bug with autsplitting long sent lines, the last line was often being
521 * Massive cleanup of rfc2812.rb, contributed by Lars Christensen
522 <dsl8950@vip.cybercity.dk>, gets rid of a lot of regexps
523 * Fixed bug reading static keyword files - "foo <=is=> bar" may not have
524 worked for a couple of releases, only "foo<=is=>bar" was working - this was
525 not intended and should be fixed now
526 * Experimental send queue, to prevent the bot from flooding out, the delay
527 between sending messages to the server defaults to 2s, but is configurable
528 in conf.rbot, set SENDQ_DELAY (0 to disable queueing). You can also set/get
529 the value from the bot, "rbot: options get sendq_delay", and
530 "rbot: options set sendq_delay 1.5", if you have sufficient auth for "config"
531 This is a bursting sendq, most ircd's allow bursts of up to 5
532 lines, with non-burst limits of 512 bytes/2 seconds. To set the burst limit,
533 configure SENDQ_BURST in conf.rbot, or do the same kind of stuff with
534 "rbot: options set sendq_burst 2", etc.
535 The defaults are 2s/4 burst, which seem to work okay for me.
536 * support for multiple, customisable, addressing prefixes. Set ADDRESS_PREFIX
537 in conf.rbot to a space separate list of addressing prefixes, e.g
538 ADDRESS_PREFIX = | ! =>
539 Would mean that all of the following in channel messages would cause the bot
545 * bb plugin removed, bb is nearly over and it doesn't work 100% anyway
546 * Two plugins from brailsmt (from #ruby-lang on openprojects), a stats plugin
547 which monitors usage of 1-word sentences, and lart, which allows you to ask
548 rbot to lart people - with an optional reason - larts are user-definable and
549 can be added on the fly.
550 * made google.rb work for people with 1.6 ruby's net/http
555 * new plugin for handling nickserv-protected nicks, use NICKSERV_PASSWORD in
557 * fixes to a few other buglets
558 * new plugin to grab bigbrother headlines, still buggy and only useful for UK
559 folks who love bb :-)
560 * fixes to various plugins
561 * Patch from akira yamada <akira@ruby-lang.org>
562 DNS plugin: Use resolv-replace if found, do lookup in new thread
563 Fix bug joining channels with keys
567 * better "connect failure" error message
568 * better option parsing, and --debug option
569 * access to bot's online help via commandline, eg:
571 ./rbot.rb --help core
572 ./rbot.rb --help "core save"
573 * Fix broken help from last point release
574 * Plugin API modification and cleanup. You no longer need to set @listen to
575 true in order to get all NOTICE and PRIVMSGs, you just need to define the
576 method. The method is now called listen(), renamed from listener(). This
577 should be the last time the plugin api is changed incompatibly.
578 * New plugin method kick(). Use it to see kicks (duh :))
579 * New plugin methods join(), part(). Obvious uses.
580 * Example plugin autorejoin.rb, uses kick event to rejoin channel and insult
582 * fix bug in remind plugins "remind me no more" recognition.
586 * Fix welcome message recognition for certain IRCd's.
590 * Allow keyword definitions which end in '?', like this:
592 * rdoc documentation!
593 * fixed broken address regexp, "rbot: .foo" was being treated as an addressed
594 form of "foo" (lost the .)
595 * fix stupid bug in last release (looking for wrong default conf dir)
599 * Tarball layout change. modules all in rbot/ now, and the rbot/ default
600 configuration moved to rbotconf/. This lets the thing run from an unpacked
601 tarball while also being ready to run with the modules installed somewhere
603 * change hashbang to /usr/bin/env ruby, in order to use PATH looking for ruby,
605 * allow "botnick : foo" style addressing, and even "botnick... foo"
606 * slap plugin (contributed by oct)
607 * renamed bot.send to bot.sendmsg, I didn't really want to override send() ;D
611 * Made sane for packagers. Looks in the right places for plugins and language
612 files now, so extra effort shouldn't be needed there.
616 * Fixed "nick taken on join" bug
617 * Dice plugin patch from David Dorward
618 * fix searchquote regexp
619 * conf.rbot: PASSWORD -> SERVER_PASSWORD, to prevent confusion with PASSWD,
620 which is for master auth.
624 * Fixed addquote (was incrementing quote ID twice)
625 * now strips colour/bold escapes from incoming messages (rbot was ignoring
626 messages addressed using a bolded colon, for example).
628 * more language breadth
629 * Addressing works better now
630 * Can autojoin channels with keys, conf.rbot line is:
631 autojoin_channels #chan1, #chan2, #chan3 key, #chan4 key, #chan5
