rbot 0.9.9 is finally out - after a long break I got stuck back in and did a bunch of refactoring, bug fixing and feature addition. This is actually a 1.0 candidate, so much has changed. The most visible changes include:
- rbot is now installable! Either via the included setup.rb, or as a ruby gem. If you have gem, try “gem install rbot”
- New configuration wizard for first-time runs (what server to connect to etc)
- Runtime configuration changes in IRC via the new config module
- French language file
- Improved HTTP proxy support (supports includes/exludes for urls)
- New restart command
- New method of creating plugins and mapping them to strings without regexps! See the new MessageMapper and the example plugins. This method will be familiar to rails users (plugin.map ‘myplugin :myparam blah blah :myotherparam’)
- Keyword (factoid) searching
- URL searching
- Various user-supplied patches and numerous bugfixes
rbot 1.0 will include long awaited (okay mainly by me) RSS integration among other things :)
