to register handlers to listen for events.
Update IRCHandlers module to use new event dispatcher to dispatch
irc.events. Update several modules to register with dispatcher
to listen for irc.events.
Improve handling of reconnection upon unexpected disconnection.
Todo: update more things to use new event dispatcher logic.
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.
Added MessageHistory.pm and MessageHistory_SQLite.pm. May eventually port
and add MessageHistory_Hashtable.pm as was done with Quotegrabs, but this is
not particularly high on the todo list.
Antiflood.pm has been updated to use the new MessageHistory API.
The `recall` command has been moved from Quotegrabs into MessageHistory. It
also now has the ability to ignore messages containing the recall command
itself, for improved usability.
Likewise, the `grab` command will now ignore previous `grab` commands when
grabbing by regex in order to prevent accidentally grabbing previous grab
attempts.
The `join` and `part` commands have been improved to accept multiple channels,
and `part` will use the current channel if none is provided.
chanops: moved flushqueues to inside loop
anti-flood/bantracker: now tracks quiets as well as bans
anti-flood: should now ban proxied hosts using a banned nickserv account -- untested
Converted single large "amalgamate" monolithic pbot2.pl script into multiple Perl packages/modules.
Tons of refactoring and clean-ups.
Consider this version to be beta. Use at your own risk.
