Version 0.80.0pre3 The URL database has been changed again, but it will use a different filename so you shouldn't run into conflicts, just a newly-empty database. We upgraded the SOAP stuff in others; you may do well to do a setup.py install --clean this time around. Version 0.80.0pre2 Many more bugs have been fixed. A few more plugins have been updated to use our new-style database abstraction. If it seems like your databases are suddenly empty, look for a new database file named Plugin.dbtype.db. We've also added a few more configuration variables. Version 0.80.0pre1 Tons of bugs fixed, many features and plugins added. Everything should be entirely compatible; many more configuration variables have been added. Version 0.79.9999 Some more bugs fixed, added a few features and a couple configuration variabless. This should hopefully be the last release before 0.80.0, which will finally bring us to pure Beta status. Version 0.79.999 Some bugs fixed, but the ones that were fixed were pretty big. This is, of course, completely compatible with the last release. Version 0.79.99 Many bugs fixed, thanks to the users who reported them. We're getting asymptotically closer to 0.80.0 -- maybe this'll be the last one, maybe we'll have to release an 0.79.999 -- either way, we're getting close :) Check out the ChangeLog for the fixes and a few new features. Version 0.79.9 We've changed so much stuff in this release that we've given up on users upgrading their configuration files for the new release. So do a clean install (python2.3 setup.py install --clean), run the wizard again, and kick some butt. (It's rumored that you can save most of your old configuration by appending your new configuration at the end of your old configuration and running supybot with that new configuration file. This, of course, comes with no warranty or guarantee of utility -- try it if you want, but backup your original configuration file!) Version 0.77.2 This is a drop-in replacement for 0.77.1, with two exceptions. The configuration variable formerly known as "supybot.plugins.Services.password" is now known as "supybot.plugins.Services.NickServ.password", due to the fact that there might be different passwords for NickServ and ChanServ (and ChanServ passwords are per-channel, whereas NickServ passwords are global). If you're using the Services plugin, you'll need to make this change in order to continue identifying with services. The configuration variable formerly known as "supybot.plugins.Babelfish.disabledLanguages" is now known as "supybot.plugins.Babelfish.languages". The configuration variable now accepts the languages that *will* be translated as opposed to ones that are *not* translated. Tests and the developer sandbox are not longer delivered with our release tarballs. If you're a developer and you want these, you should either check out CVS or download one of our weekly CVS snapshots, available at http://supybot.sourceforge.net/snapshots/ . Version 0.77.1 This is a drop-in replacement for 0.77.0 -- no incompatibilities, to out knowledge. Simply install over your old installation and restart your bot :) Version 0.77.0 Setup.py will automatically remove your old installations for you, no need to worry about that yourself. Configuration has been *entirely* redone. Read the new GETTING_STARTED document to see how to work with configuration variables now. Your old botscripts from earlier versions *will not* work with the new configuration method. We'd appreciate it if you'd rerun the wizard in order for us to find any bugs that remain in it before we officially declare ourselves Beta. Note also that because of the new configuration method, the interface for plugins' configure function has changed: there are no longer any onStart or afterConnect arguments, so all configuration should be performed via the registry. Channel capabilities have been changed; rather than being #channel.capability, they're now #channel,capability. It's a bit uglier, we know, but dots can be valid in channel names, and we needed the dot for handling plugin.command capabilities. tools/ircdbConvert.py should update this for you. The on-disk format of the user/channel databases has changed to be far more readable. A conversion utility is included, as mentioned before: tools/ircdbConvert.py. Run this with no arguments to see the directions for using it. Uh, we were just kidding about the upgrade script in 0.76.0 :) It'll be a little while longer. We do have several little upgrade scripts, though. Version 0.76.1 Almost entirely bugfixes, just some minor (and some less minor) bugs that need to get in before we really start hacking on the next version. Should be *entirely* compatible with 0.76.0. Version 0.76.0 Major bugfix release. A great number of bugs fixed. This is the last release without an upgrade script. The only hiccup in the upgrade from 0.75.0 should be that you'll need to update your botscript to reflect the removal of the debug module. We'd rather you use supybot-wizard to generate a new botscript, of course, but if you insist on modifying your existing botscript, take a look at to see what you need to do. Version 0.75.0 Don't forget to reinstall (i.e., run "python setup.py install" as root). Sometimes it even does good to remove the old installation; $PYTHON/site-packages/supybot can be removed with no problems whatsoever. You will need to re-run supybot-wizard and generate a new botscript. The Infobot plugin has been removed from this release; it's not ready for prime time. If you're interested in getting it running (i.e., you want full Infobot compatibility and aren't satisfied with either MoobotFactoids or Factoids) then swing over to #supybot and we can discuss the tests. We simply don't know enough about Infobot to make sure our Infobot plugin is an exact replica, and need someone's help with making the changes necessary for that.
