+ * New IRC Framework: Server methods to retrieve a Channel or User are
+ now more robust to empty or nil nicks and channel names passed as
+ parameters.

+
+ * Timer rescheduling: it is now possible to reschedule the period
+ any particular Action is taken by issuing the command
+ @bot.timer.reschedule(handle, new_period)
+ where +handle+ is a timer handle returned by the @bot.timer.add() that
+ created the action, and new_period is the new period for the Action.

+
+ * Reduced saving: the salut, lart, and quotes plugin now only save
+ their datafiles if anything changed since last time. This speeds up
+ operations such as saving and rescanning; it also allow hand-editing
+ of the data files while the bot is running, since a rescan will load
+ the changed data files without overwriting them with a useless save
+ before. Of course this only works if there are no pending changes in
+ the running bot.

+
+ * Server timeout: rework the server timeout code. Instead of PINGing
+ the server unconditionally every server.ping_timeout seconds, we only
+ PING it if we don't receive anything in the user-chosen timeout (lazy
+ PING). The code rewrite also seems to have fixed the "bot stalling
+ doing nothing" problem, which seemed to have been a consequence of
+ @socket.select not having a timeout.

+
+ * A-Z game: try to guess the word the bot is thinking of: every miss
+ helps by reducing the range of allowed words, until it's so small
+ around the correct one that you can't miss it.

+
+ * Flood protection: first attempt at penalty-based flood protection.
+ This should make rbot much less prone to Excess Floods *and* still
+ serve normally without excessive delays.

+
+ * HttpUtil: Strings returned by get_cached now have a cached? method
+ which returns true or false depending on whether the result was taken
+ from the cache or not; this can be exploited by plugins that parse the
+ result in some particular way, since they can now skip the parsing
+ stage if they cache the parse result.

+ * HttpUtil: initial implementation of proper caching based on
+ last-modified and etag HTTP headers

+ * Salut plugin: handles (multilingual) salutations (hello/goodbye)
+
+2006-10-15 Giuseppe Bilotta <giuseppe.bilotta@gmail.com>
+
+ * Language stuff: plugins can now handle language changes in a natural
+ fashion. lart is the first plugin to make use of this. NOTE: this
+ is not (yet) backwards compatible: the old larts/praises files from
+ previous rbot setups have to be renamed manually
+ * Language stuff: italian translations
+ * Utils.safe_save(filename): allows 'safe' saving of a file: it needs a
+ block, to which it will yield a temporary file on which operations can
+ be carried out. When the block returns, the tempfile will be renamed to
+ the given filename
