4 | IMPORTANT NOTES: |
5 | As of version 1.98 unknown_lamer is the new maintainer. Also as of |
6 | version 1.98, you must have Guile 1.5.6+ or 1.6.x in order to |
7 | compile scripting support. |

13 | Version 2.1.8: |
5aec4622 |
14 | - Scripting |
15 | + Hooks |
16 | * Added bot:protection/[none|ban|kick|deop] and bot:aop/[yes|no] |
17 | constants to the Scheme scripting interface |
18 | * hooks/timer argument is now zero padded instead of space padded |
19 | (e.g. "11:01" instead of "11: 1") |
20 | * hooks/disconnect is now called when the bot is disconnected from the |
21 | server unintentionally (network connection timeout, server died, |
22 | etc.) |
c7d8cfb9 |
23 | * hooks/action is now passed the user's nick instead of the full |
24 | address like all other hooks |
5aec4622 |
25 | + Message Sending |
26 | * Implemented bot:notice |
4cc479d8 |
27 | * bot:msg and bot:say may both send to channels and users (instead |
28 | of bot:msg for users and bot:say for channels) |
672b7d4e |
29 | * Renamed bot:send-CTCP to bot:send-ctcp |
30 | * Added bot:send-ctcp-reply to send a ctcp-reply |
d56bdd22 |

32 | * Added (bobotpp bot) module that modules may use to gain access |
33 | to the bobot++ functions |
606a8eec |
34 | + Debugging |
d56bdd22 |
35 | * The debugging evaluator is now enabled when --debug is passed to |
36 | the bot |
37 | * Merged error handling patch from Dale Smith. This adds detailed |
38 | errors and backtraces when --debug is passed to Bobot++. |

980ce0f4 |
48 | Version 2.1.7: |
cf8ea873 |
49 | - Fixed a number of small bugs and corner cases |
50 | - Should compile without warnings (GCC 3.4) |
980ce0f4 |
51 | |
2e18045a |
52 | Version 2.1.6: |
8db6cd17 |
53 | - The String class implementation has been redone and replaced by one |
54 | based on std::string (eventually String will be gone entirely, but |
55 | it a lot of work) |
2e18045a |
56 | - Patches from Jos Hulzink <josh@stack.nl> were applied which fix a |
980ce0f4 |
57 | few major bugs in the StringTokenizer (thanks) |
2e18045a |
58 | |
c8f13c06 |
59 | Version 2.1.5: Cleanups |
60 | - A DCC CHAT with the bot may now only be initiated if the user is a |
61 | Friend of the bot |
62 | - Implemented bot:ctcp-quote |
c7d9fb19 |
63 | - The Bot Configuration section of the manual has been completed. |
a6339323 |
64 | - Fixed a potential (but unlikely) buffer overflow in Utils::strToTime |
65 | (if there were more than 512 digits in part of the string form of |
66 | the time the buffer would overflow) |
6b59e728 |
67 | - Misc. Bugfixes |
c7d9fb19 |
68 | |
4edefeb6 |
69 | Version 2.1.4: DCC Support Enhancements |
70 | - Internal Change: DCCConnection is now an abstract class |
71 | - Internal Change: DCCChatConnection provides the functionality of |
72 | the old DCCConnection so that DCC FILE support can be added |
73 | - New Scheme Procedure: (bot:sent-to-me? message), checks to see if a |
74 | message was addressed to the bot. This is better than using |
75 | bot:match-to-me because the hook will continue to function if the |
76 | bot's nick changes. The only downside to using it is that there may |
77 | be an increased overhead of calling more hooks than could be called, |
78 | but that shouldn't be much of a problem. |
79 | - New Scheme Procedure: (bot:change-command-level command level), |
80 | changes the level a user command to allow a user of `level' level or |
81 | above to run it. |
82 | |
e171dcce |
83 | Version 2.1.3: Something |
84 | - The flood rate can now be set using !setfloodrate INTEGER. The |
85 | default is two messages per second before the bot will ignore |
5c73c60a |
86 | you. (thanks to Björn Gustavsson for requesting this) |
4edefeb6 |
87 | - The flood rate may also be set from Scheme using (bot:setfloodrate |
88 | integer) |
89 | - A very large crash bug has been fixed. Previously, if an undefined |
90 | command was called, any attempts to call a subsequent command would |
91 | cause the bot to crash. Now the bot doesn't crash. |
e171dcce |
92 | |
feb33b96 |
93 | Version 2.1.2: Llama |
94 | |
95 | - match-to-me and match-not-channel are now bot:match-to-me and |
96 | bot:match-not-channel. Just use perl -pi -e |
97 | "s/match-to-me/bot:match-to-me" SCRIPTS (change to match-not-channel |
98 | for match-not-channel). |
ce02032f |
99 | - Each script is now loaded into its own module so namespace clashes |
100 | should no longer occur |
101 | - New procedure: (bot:load-module INTERFACE-SPEC) will load a "bot |
102 | module" with the specified INTERFACE-SPEC (e.g. (foo bar)). A bot |
103 | module is the same as a system module except that you don't use |
104 | define-module to define it. The %bot:loadpath is searched for |
105 | INTERFACE-SPEC (when converted to a string) with an extension in |
106 | %bot:load-extensions. E.g. (foo bar) becomes "foo/bar". |
107 | - New procedure: (bot:use-module INTERFACE-SPEC) is the same as |
108 | bot:load-module except it will make the exported bindings from |
109 | INTERFACE-SPEC available in the current-module. |
8be9b70e |
110 | - Updated example bot and new example scripts included with the bot. |

111 | |
fd7440f1 |
112 | Version 2.1.1: foom |
feb33b96 |
113 | |
114 | - Host masks are now case insensitive when matched. At least one other |
115 | person thought this was a good idea since IRC is case preserving but |
116 | not case sensitive. |
fd7440f1 |
117 | - You can now "name" a hook using an extra arg to bot:addhook. This |
118 | name can be used to have multiple hooks of the same type with the |
119 | same regexp. The default name is "DEFAULT" so don't use that as the |
120 | name for your hooks. |
fd7440f1 |
121 | - Logging now works again (oops, I didn't realize I broke it until I |
122 | started to work on DCC). |
0b7a49e2 |
123 | - DCC CHAT now "works." You can connect to the bot and talk to to it |
124 | and use Scheme hooks to talk to the user. |
125 | - New hooks: hooks/dcc/chat-begin and hooks/dcc/chat-message. These |
126 | are called when a new DCC Chat begin and when the user sends a |
127 | message. |
128 | - New Function: bot:dcc-chat-send TO MESSAGE, sends a MESSAGE to the |
129 | person at address TO |
fed59248 |
130 | - New hooks: hooks/send/... where ... is one of action, ctcp, public, |
131 | or message. These are triggered when the bot does an |
132 | ACTION, sends a CTCP (_not_ a ctcp-reply), sends a PRIVMSG to a |
133 | channel, or sends a PRIVMSG to another user, respectively. There |
134 | will be more send hooks added later. |
6530edbf |
135 | - New hooks: hooks/dcc/chat-begin and |
136 | hooks/dcc/chat-message. chat-begin is called when the chat starts |
137 | and has one argument: the address (in user!nick@host |
138 | format). chat-message has two arguments: from (user!nick@host) and |
139 | message, which is the raw message (since there is no real protocol |
140 | for DCC). chat-start hooks are matched against the address and |
141 | chat-message hooks are matched against the text "ADDRESS MESSAGE" |
142 | where ADDRESS is the sender's address and MESSAGE is the message. |
fd7440f1 |
143 | |
e07b6b46 |
144 | Version 2.1.0: Zug Zug |
ad529fde |
145 | - Hooks can now be fallthrough or non fallthrough. You can set a hooks |
146 | priority and whether or not it falls through (i.e. continues hook |
147 | matching after it has been executed) using two optional args to |
148 | (bot-addhook). The new args are pri (integer priority) and fallthru |
149 | (#t or #f) and are at the end. Higher priority hooks are executed |
150 | before lower priority hooks, and fallthrough hooks are executed |
151 | before non-fallthrough hooks. |
152 | - The default config is read from ~/.bobotpp/config/default/ or |
153 | /etc/bobotpp/default/ if the user config is not found. Put your |
c7d9fb19 |
154 | default config in either dir. You may also specify a specific config |
ad529fde |
155 | under these dirs using the --config or -c arg to bobotpp (see |
156 | bobotpp --help for the full list of commands you may use and how to |
157 | use them). |
158 | - Scripts are now stored in ~/.bobotpp/scripts/ or |
ce02032f |
159 | PREFIX/share/bobotpp/scripts/ (where PREFIX is /usr/local unless you |
ad529fde |
160 | changed it with the --prefix arg to configure). The new function |
161 | bot-load will take a filename and load it from these dirs, returning |
162 | #t if the file was loaded and #f if it wasn't. You can modify the |
163 | search list by appending to %bot-loadpath. |
164 | - bobot-utils.scm is now autoloaded, so you don't need to |
165 | load it if you want to use its functions. |
439869bf |
166 | - Logs are now in ~/.bobotpp/logs/ |
91dddabd |
167 | - bot-* procedures in Scheme are now bot:*. The old bot-* functions |
439869bf |
168 | are defined as aliases in bobot-utils.scm |
e07b6b46 |
169 | - You can now use lambda's for new commands (oops, I wasn't protecting |
170 | the objects from garbage collection) |
ad529fde |
171 | |
172 | |
2e20c3e1 |
173 | Version 2.0: Stable release / CVS merges |
174 | - Merged stuff from Etienne Bernard's dev tree that he was working on |
175 | before I took over (not much) |
176 | - bot-adduser and bot-addshit now work from Scheme |
177 | |
178 | Version 1.99: Configure joy |
179 | - You can now disable scripting using --disable-scripting or |
180 | --enable-scripting=no |
181 | - Crypt can also be disabled with --disable-crypt or --enable-crypt=no |
182 | - Old hooks behavior has been restored (new hooks are added to the end |
183 | of the hooks list and processing does not stop at the first matched |
184 | hook). The hook behavior will change radically in 2.1. |
185 | |
186 | Version 1.98: Unknown_lamer made a large number of changes |
187 | - Code is now ISO C++ and compiles with GCC 3.1 |
188 | - Converted makefile system to use automake |
189 | - configure.ac now requires autoconf 2.50 (this is only a problem if |
190 | you modify it, but I should be the only one doing that) |
191 | - Transition to new Guile 1.6 API has begun |
192 | - Scripting must always be enabled for now (known "bug") |
193 | - first hook of a given type to match is the only hook executed, all |
194 | others are ignored. Note that the last hook to be registered is the |
195 | first in the list! |
196 | |
197 | |
198 | Version 1.97: lots of changes, especially guile's scripting support, which |
199 | is not yet documented. See in the scripts/ directory for |
200 | examples, and in Interp.C (the Startup() function) for the |
201 | list of all available commands. |
202 | |
203 | Version 1.30: Syntax change for "channel =" in bot.conf. See examples/bot.conf. |
204 | Rewrite of ident/password system. Should be more secure and |
205 | flexible. |
