Hi I'm not maintaining this file so I leave the rest verbatim. --xylon ChangeLog ========= This is a overview of changes users may care about. Detailed changelog can be done using bzr (does not work in tarballs, you need a development checkout for this): bzr log -rtag:tag.. --short Example (list changes compared to 0.1-beta1) bzr log -rtag:0.1-beta1.. --short 0.1-beta1 --------- A lot is new in this release. Some of the highlights include: * Help command. * Coloured log output. * Modules that is split over several files in a subdirectory. See contrib/modules/m_perl for an example. * Lots of speed improvements by avoiding subshells when possible and such. * Checks in subshells that module loading will work before actually loading it. This is to avoid crashes on syntax errors in modules and such. * A new centralised bot command dispatching system that is easier to use than the old on_PRIVMSG and having every module parse it by itself. * API documentation is now auto generated from source code using bashdoc. * Extended and reworked internal API. * New more flexible module API. * Many new modules. * Core: * commands - List commands from each module. * ctcp - Responds to CTCPs send to the bot. * dice - Roll a dice. * help - Help command. * karma - Karma module (the common ++/-- stuff) * nicktracking - tracks nicks <-> host mapping for channels the bot is in. * ping - Provide some latency info and such. * uptime - Tell the uptime of the bot. * Contrib (these either need extra deps or are not supported by the developers): * convert - Convert between different units (needs GNU or BSD units installed). * perl - Run perl code (not supported because it may not be safe). * Lots of bugfixes. The rest of this change log entry is mainly for developers wanting to port their code from 0.0.1 to 0.1: * 0.0.1 modules won't work without change, the both the module and core APIs have changed a lot. For example on_PRIVMSG should not be used now most of the time, instead see commands_register function. See doc/module_api2.txt and the auto generated API docs for details. * Quite a few Core API functions have changed parameter format: A lot now take "out parameters" instead of using $() construct. This is because subshells (caused by the $() construct) are slow. * Sadly one feature from trunk were too unstable to make it into 0.1, it will hopefully be in the next version. This feature was periodic events. This is the reason for some odd code related to transports status in this version ($transport_status and transport_alive to be specific). 0.0.1 ----- 475 Updated man page. 472,474 Fixed bash version check. 471 Fixed an incorrect regular expression in lib/main.sh 470 Made list_contains use grep -F instead. 469 Fixed typo in ebuild. 0.0.1-rc1 --------- 465 Backported fix to remove eval from various places. 463-464 Fixed bug in modules/m_kick_ban.sh that made bot loose part of kick reason sometimes. 462 Fixed bug in modules/m_join.sh that caused it to never send a reason on part. 459-461 Added Gentoo ebuild for envbot. 457 Made it work correctly on FreeBSD 456 Fixed bug 29 (Channels not rejoined after ping timeout) and similar issue in modules/m_services.sh (ghost needed state not reset). 453 Fixed for one aspect of bug 11. 0.0.1-beta5 ----------- 450 Merged r451 from trunk: Fix broken misc_clean_spaces (was broken after beta4). 443 Made parse_hostmask_*() faster and added some missing quotes. 441 Found that an INVITE hook was missing, added it. 430-435 Added more numerics. 429 Workaround for bug #21 added (Own nick desync during connect with ghost). 0.0.1-beta4 ----------- 424 Config version update: Added $config_log_raw. Defines if we should log raw lines or not (affects both STDOUT and logfiles) 420,423 misc_clean_spaces was slow, changed to inline ways of stripping spaces. 416 Got rid of deprecated parse_get_colon_arg function. 415 Added some code to check for stuff that matches no hook, and found that there is no umode change hook because of this. Fixed. 411 Made assignment of factoids work if there is more than one separator in string, yes this may be slower but it works. 410 Fixed bug in factoids with forget command not reporting "I didn't have a factoid matching..." when none was found. 0.0.1-beta3 ----------- 407 Make error messages in transports more verbose. 402-406 Make m_calc.sh check it's arguments on IRC better to make it secure. 401 Fix bug that made modules_load break if a dependency failed to load. 398 Made main envbot a wrapper script that sanitise the environment and then executes main bot. 395 Some more functions are now internal in lib/log.sh, modules should use the log level versions. 393 m_autojoin was slowing down rehash more than needed, fixed that. 392 Fixed: Could not unload rehash, module_rehash_UNLOAD returned 127! 391 Fixed bug that caused FINALISE hooks to never run 383 Add bash version check (it turned out bash-3.1 and older was not supported). 0.0.1-beta2 ----------- 379 Actually more than one space between parameters on IRC is possible, yes that sucks, and no sane server would send it, but just to be on the safe side 377 Added this ChangeLog. 376 Fixed potential security problem in SQL cleaning code in module_sqlite3_clean_string (I can't find a way to abuse this so I don't think the risk is very high) 375 Added access_log_action() 373-375 Introduced more advanced logging API with several levels (info, warn, error and fatal) 371 Optimised log_write() in lib/log.sh (something like 20 times as fast now if my testing is correct) 0.0.1-beta1 ----------- First version, no ChangeLog as there is nothing to older to list changes against.
