2004-12-22 Jeremy Fincher <jemfinch@supybot.com>
* Version 0.80.0pre6!
* Added a Topic.separator command, which replaces the current
separator with a new separator, changing the topic to reflect the
change.

* Added a "shuffle" command to the Utilities plugin, which
shuffles its arguments. Useful in combination with
Utilities.last, which returns the last argument it's given, in
combination with Utilities.apply, in order to pick a random
string (think aliases).
* Added supybot.plugins.Relay.noticeNonPrivmsgs, for making the
relay plugin use NOTICEs rather than PRIVMSGs to relay

* Numerous bug fixes. Many, many bugs fixed. Oodles and oodles
of bugs have been fixed. Myriad bugs fixed. Get the idea? :)

Version 0.83.0rc1
There have been some fairly significant changes since our last release.
First, plugins are now a directory of files rather than a single file.
This makes it much easier for an individual plugin to supply any
3rd-party modules it may depend on and resolves some bugs we had with
reloading plugins. supybot-plugin-create (nee supybot-newplugin) has
been updated to reflect this. A side effect of using a directory-based
plugin is that @load/@reload are now case-sensitive. "@load foo" is not
the same as "@load Foo".
As part of the conversion to the new plugin format, some plugins were
broken up into more focused plugins. Also, not all of the plugins that
we used to ship are part of this release. Some we moved to the
supybot-plugins package and some others (which would be candidates for
supybot-plugins) have yet to be converted to the new format.
Second, we've updated the scripts that ship with Supybot. As noted in
the previous section, supybot-newplugin is now named
supybot-plugin-create. We've also added the following scripts:
supybot-botchk - Handy script for starting the bot and keeping it
running. Ideal for having cron automatically start the
bot.
supybot-plugin-doc - Generates documentation for the specified
plugin(s). Currently, the documentation is
generated using Structured TeXt so that it can
easily be uploaded to our website.
supybot-plugin-package - The beginning of a script to make a plugin
package which can be uploaded to our website
for general consumption.
supybot-test - Runs a plugin's test suite.
Third, we've broken supybot.utils into focused sub-modules. There's no
longer a supybot.fix module and we now have the following modules:
supybot.utils.file - utilities for dealing with files (e.g. the old
supybot.utils.transactionalFile is now
supybot.utils.file.AtomicFile)
supybot.utils.iter - utilities for dealing with iterables (all, any,
partition, groupBy, choice, etc)
supybot.utils.gen - general purpose utilities which are imported into
the supybot.utils namespace
supybot.utils.net - utilities for dealing with the network
supybot.utils.python - utilities for dealing with Python
supybot.utils.seq - utilities for dealing with sequences
supybot.utils.str - utilities for dealing with strings (including our
new format() function)
supybot.utils.structures - general purpose structures used in Supybot
supybot.utils.web - utilities for dealing with the web (used to be
supybot.webutils)
Fourth, we've added source-nested plugins (using the class
callbacks.Commands). This allows you to group similar commands
together. Some examples are:
Channel.{ban add,ban list,ban remove}
User.{hostmask add,hostmask list,hostmask remove}
Fifth, we've removed the privmsgs module. All of the functionality
that was offered in that module is now available by using commands.wrap.
Use of this is documented at:
http://supybot.com/documentation/help/tutorial/wrap
Sixth, we've renamed some plugin-related API changes. Some classes had
their names changed. The old names are still available for
backwards-compatibility.
callbacks.Privmsg -> callbacks.Plugin
callbacks.PrivmsgCommandAndRegexp -> callbacks.PluginRegexp
callbacks.IrcObjectProxy -> callbacks.NestedCommandsIrcProxy
callbacks.PrivmsgRegexp was removed since its functionality is covered
by setting using PluginRegexp.
Also, the prototype for a plugin's __init__ method changed:
def __init__(self): -> def __init__(self, irc):
Remember to pass the irc object on when you call the parent class's
__init__ method.
Version 0.80.0
We *finally* hit 0.80.0! This release is completely compatible with
