Adlib list variables can now accept trailing modifier keywords prefixed with
a colon. These can be chained together to combine their effects.
:uc - uppercases the expansion
:lc - lowercases the expansion
:ucfirst - uppercases the first letter in the expansion
:title - lowercases the expansion and then uppercases the first letter
(effectively an alias for :lc:ucfirst)
Examples:
<pragma_> echo $colors:uc
<candide> RED
<pragma_> echo $colors:ucfirst
<candide> Blue
E.g.,
<pragma-> Userbob: You can learn more about candide by reading its !help page and checking out its !source
<candide> Userbob: To learn all about me, see http://www.iso-9899.info/wiki/Candide
<candide> Userbob: My guts can be browsed at https://github.com/pragma-/pbot
Only three triggers will be processed per message. (I should create a
registry entry to customize this.)
Messages that are addressed at a specific user that exists in the channel will
have that user's name prepended to the factoid output.
Factoid triggers that are referenced from within messages will not produce
error messages if the factoid is not found.
Factoids that have an $arg or $nick special variable will not be triggered as
a reference.
Factoids that have the `noembed` meta-data value set to a true value will not
be invoked as a reference.
factshow's and factfind's channel argument is now optional.
The commands will now automatically determine the channel a factoid lives in
if it is the only factoid of that name.
If there are multiple factoids existing in different channels then the commands
will display a disambiguation message and require an explicit channel argument
to choose a specific channel's factoid.
This allows us to call random factoids.
E.g.:
factadd global fact1 is /say This is fact1.
factadd global fact2 is /say Fact2 is also a pretty neat fact.
factadd global fact3 is /say But don't forget about fact3!
factadd global facts is fact1 fact2 fact3
factadd global randomfact is /call $facts
Invoking the `randomfact` factoid will now randomy pick between
fact1, fact2 and fact3.
This was added to support the `randomkr` factoid.
Fix adding factoid to local channel when a factoid of same name already exists for global channel
Fix calling factoid from another channel with `fact` command
Do not prepend nick argument to aliases (/call factoids)
Allows changing of bot configuration values without needing to restart
bot instance or needing to edit pbot.pl script.
Registry will initially be populated with default values from pbot.pl,
but if a registry file exists then the registry values will take
precedence over the pbot.pl values. For instance, if you regset the
bot trigger to '%' then the trigger will be '%' even if pbot.pl has '!'
or something else explicitly set.
Some registry items can have trigger hooks associated with them. For
instance, the irc->botnick registry entry has a change_botnick_trigger
associated with it which changes the IRC nick on the server when a new
value is set via regset/regadd.
Tons of other fixes and improvements throughout.
