====== The News =====================================================
=====================================================================
+Version 2.1.9:
+- Scripting
+ + hooks/disconnect now takes an additonal argument that specifies
+ whether the disconnect was intentional or not.
+ + The deprecated scripting procedure and hook names are now in a
+ `begin-deprecated' block. If your guile is built without
+ deprecated feature support, they will not be available.
+- Documention
+ + Reorganized a few sections
+ + Every hook is now documented
+ + Using bot section is now much more usable
+- The code was cleaned up a bit
+
+Version 2.1.8:
+- Scripting
+ + Hooks
+ * Added bot:protection/[none|ban|kick|deop] and bot:aop/[yes|no]
+ constants to the Scheme scripting interface
+ * hooks/timer argument is now zero padded instead of space padded
+ (e.g. "11:01" instead of "11: 1")
+ * hooks/disconnect is now called when the bot is disconnected from the
+ server unintentionally (network connection timeout, server died,
+ etc.)
+ * hooks/action is now passed the user's nick instead of the full
+ address like all other hooks
+ + Message Sending
+ * Implemented bot:notice
+ * bot:msg and bot:say may both send to channels and users (instead
+ of bot:msg for users and bot:say for channels)
+ * Renamed bot:send-CTCP to bot:send-ctcp
+ * Added bot:send-ctcp-reply to send a ctcp-reply
+ + Misc
+ * Added (bobotpp bot) module that modules may use to gain access
+ to the bobot++ functions
+ + Debugging
+ * The debugging evaluator is now enabled when --debug is passed to
+ the bot
+ * New command line option: --debug-scripts enabled the debugging
+ evaluator while running everything else normally
+ * Merged error handling patch from Dale Smith. This adds detailed
+ errors and backtraces when --debug/--debug-scripts is passed to
+ Bobot++.
+- Documentation
+ + Merged documentation patch from Dale Smith (thanks)
+- Misc
+ + NOTICEs and PRIVMSGs are now sent correctly if they contain an
+ embedded newline
+ + Max nick length is now configurable via 'maxnicklength' option in
+ bot.conf (defaults to 9)
+- The bot now builds with --disable-scripting again (this is my fault,
+ I haven't built without it in a long time)
+
+
Version 2.1.7:
+- Fixed a number of small bugs and corner cases
+- Should compile without warnings (GCC 3.4)
Version 2.1.6:
-- The String class has been removed and replaced by std::string
+- The String class implementation has been redone and replaced by one
+ based on std::string (eventually String will be gone entirely, but
+ it a lot of work)
- Patches from Jos Hulzink <josh@stack.nl> were applied which fix a
few major bugs in the StringTokenizer (thanks)
Version 2.1.3: Something
- The flood rate can now be set using !setfloodrate INTEGER. The
default is two messages per second before the bot will ignore
-you. (thanks to Björn Gustavsson for requesting this)
+you. (thanks to Björn Gustavsson for requesting this)
- The flood rate may also be set from Scheme using (bot:setfloodrate
integer)
- A very large crash bug has been fixed. Previously, if an undefined
