* Added Topic.reorder, a new command for reordering the topics in a specific manner. * Added Http.extension, a new command to retrieve file extension in formation from filext.com. * Updated Relay.whois to include a user's away status and identified state, if the server supports it. 2003-12-6 Jeremy Fincher * Added a "trusted" capability that defaults to off (-trusted) and is required for Utilities.re (with which it's possible to DoS the bot) and for the new Math.icalc (with which it is trivially possible to DoS the bot). * Added Math.icalc, a new command for doing integer arithmetic. It requires the "trusted" capability. * Added the Fun.ping command, because MozBot has it. * Added Note.unsend command, to allow users to "unsend" notes they've sent but whose recipient has not yet read. * Added Channel.{deop,devoice,dehalfop,kick}. * Added Http.size and Http.doctype and Http.headers to retrieve various meta-information on URLs. * Added a ranking to ChannelDB.wordstats. * Added Karma.most for determining various "mosts" in the Karma database. * Added User.list command to list registered users. * Added 'roulette' command to Fun plugin. * Added a Channel.lobotomies command to list the channels in which the bot is lobotomized. * Added a swap function to Math.rpn. * Changed the name of User.changeusername to User.changename. * Changed the logging infrastructure significantly; each plugin now has its own logger (and thus logfile), in addition to being logged in the main logfile. * Fixed bug in which the bot wouldn't rejoin channels after a reconnect. Thank the Lord for tcpkill :) * Fixed Http.freshmeat for projects with a space in their names. * Changed RSS so RSS feed commands may be added while the bot is running, and so added RSS feed commands are in the RSS plugin. * Changed Lookup so added lookups are added in the Lookup plugin itself so there's no dependency on Alias, and so loaded lookups can be seen via 'list Lookup'. * Fixed bug #850931 as well as several other minor bugs in Utilities.re. * Fixed bug #851254, Factoids.whatis didn't work on numeric keys. * Added the ability to turn on/off the showing of ids in FunDB excuse/insult/praise/lart. * Added the to= keyword argument to the various reply functions to you can specify a target to send the message to. * Changed socketDrivers to allow more time (10x more, to be exact) for connecting to the network than for the normal read. * Fixed a bug in Http.weather that would cause an ugly error message for a command like "weather hell". * Added the number of strings to the Fun.object output. * Fixed bug in RSS.configure; no aliases could be added. * Changed Alias.freeze to Alias.lock. * Fixed sorting in Status' uptime database. * Updated the Gameknot tests for expired games, and updated the Gameknot plugin to handle such links in its snarfer. * Added a 'server' attribute to Irc objects to unify the way to access such information. * Added revision command for finding out the revision of the files in a running bot; also added __revision__ strings so CVS would be happy to keep such information for us :) * Fixed bug #848475 -- bad error message from regexp-expecting commands. * Stopped listing the plugin dispatcher command in the list of commands for that plugin. * Fixed bug in Gameknot.gkstats when retrieving the stats for users who haven't yet played a game. * Added a numUsers() method to ircdb.UsersDB (ircdb.users). 2003-11-18 Jeremy Fincher * Changed commands so that plugins no longer have to make sure that their commands are unique within the bot. Ambiguous commands will reply with an error message and instruct the user to disambiguate the command by prefixing with the appropriate plugin name.. Many commands that formerly contained the plugin name (or a portion thereof) have had it removed, and many plugins have had their names changed so prefixing a command with the plugin name is less bulky. Rather than list each individual example, you can read the plugin documentation posted at ***TODO*** * Renamed numerous plugins: OwnerCommands became Owner, AdminCommands became Admin, ChannelCommands became Channel, MiscCommands became Misc, UserCommands became User, URLSnarfer became URL, Notes became Note, FunCommands became Fun, IMDB became Movies, and Aliases became Alias. * Made aliases persistent across reloads/bot restarts. You should probably change your botscripts not to add the aliases onStart, but (assuming those aliases don't change) it should still work fine. * Added the ability for users to specify that their passwords should be hashed on disk. * Added MoobotFactoids plugin for moobot-style factoids (which are meant to mimic blootbot-style factoids). People used to traditional IRC bot factoids plugins will probably find this plugin more to their taste than Factoids. * Added Ebay plugin for snarfing eBay URLs as well as getting info on certain auctions. * Added monitoring of occurrences of certain words on a per-user basis, adding two new commands to ChannelDB (addword and wordstats). * Added Bugzilla module for accessing various data in Bugzilla pages. * Added QuoteGrabs module which allows people to grab interesting quotes from other people and store them in the bot for later retrieval (also optionally have the bot randomly snarf quotes). * Added a "change" command to change factoid values in the Factoids plugin. * Added Dunno plugin as an optional replacement for the boring 'no such command' response. * Changed FundB to allow accessing excuses, larts, and praises by id. * Added substitutions for 'me' and 'my' in insult/praise/lart. * Added 'change' and 'old' commands for News. * Added ASPN Python Cookbook URL snarfer. * Moved karma out of ChannelDB and into its own Karma plugin. * Moved uptime-related commands to from FunDB to the Status plugin. * Renamed the Network.internic command to whois, since we can now fix ambiguity by prefixing the plugin name. * Removed the "googlesite" function. * Removed "dictserver" command in favor of using the Configurable framework with the Dict plugin instead. * Removed TwistedCommands plugin to the sandbox; the one command it provided (dict) is now better provided in the Dict plugin. * Removed the Moobot plugin (the commands were moved to the Fun plugin or dropped entirely). * Removed all example strings from plugins. To be replaced with an automated process later. * Converted several plugins to the new Configurable plugin type Plugins modified include Bugzilla, ChannelDB, Dict, Ebay, Enforcer, Gameknot, Google, Python, Relay, and URL (formerly URLSnarfer). * Changed ChannelDB database to use integer user ids instead of text usernames. * Changed Http.geekquote to use multiline geekquotes (and removed the option to do so, since it's now the default). * Added a --id switch to geekquote to pick a specific geekquote. * Changed most commands in News to require the 'news' capability. * Changed Relay.names output to show (and sort by) status in the channel. * Removed 'relaycolor' command in favor of Configurable framework. * Added total memory usage to 'cpustats' output for several *nix platforms. * Removed the total percentage of CPU time from 'cpustats'. Not only was it inaccurate, but we needed the room for memory stats. * Changed Topic.shuffle to ensure that the topic is actually shuffled. * Changed all commands which take an index (various Topic and Factoids commands) to index from 1 instead of 0. * Fixed several bugs in Unix.spell whereby the bot could be frozen. * Changed the name of the "bug" command in the AdminCommands plugin to "reportbug" instead. * Added QUIT stat-keeping to ChannelDB. * Removed the OwnerCommands.say command; it wasn't useful enough, and is so easily written that anyone can have it back if they want it. * Changed OwnerCommands.load (and reload) to be case-insensitive, so "load funcommands" works just as well as "load FunCommands". * Changed the keyword parameter "needed" to privmsgs.getArgs to be "required" instead. It just sounds better, works with "optional" better, and we won't get an oppurtunity later to change it. * Updated IrcObjectProxy.reply to allow a "notice" boolean keyword to determine whether or not to reply via a notice. * Added privmsgs.urlSnarfer, a wrapper around snarfer methods that handles both the threading and the limiting of replies so loops between two snarfing bots can't happen. * Added structures.PersistentDictionary for dictionaries that should be saved to a file in repr()ed form. * Added structures.TwoWayDictionary for dictionaries that should map keys to values and vice versa. * Added a curry function to fix.py for doing currying (if you don't know what it is, don't worry about it :)) * Added utils.depluralize to do the opposite of utils.pluralize. * Added utils.safeEval for safe evaluation of Python data structures (lists, dictionaries, tuples, numbers, strings, etc., but no operations on them). * Added utils.saltHash for handling the hashing of passwords with a salt. * Added plugins.standardSubstitute to do standard substitutions for things like $who, $nick, $channel, etc. * Added plugins.Configurable, a plugin mixin that allows easy specification and persistence of configurable data on a global and per-channel basis. * Fixed plugins.ChannelDBHandler (and added plugins.DBHandler) to be threadsafe, so threaded plugins could still use a database, and non-threaded database-using plugins could still receive the results of a threaded command. * Removed ircutils.privmsgPayload and ircutils.shrinkList, both of which existed prior to the addition of more, and aren't needed anymore. 2003-10-12 Jeremy Fincher * Version 0.73.1! * Fixed a bug in Math.{calc,rpn} where certain functions ("degrees" in particular) that didn't like complex arguments would fail on numbers on which they shouldn't. * Added an optional "key" argument to ChannelCommands.cycle. * Fixed bolding in supybot-wizard.py. * Fixed handling of the secure flag by ircdb.IrcUser.setAuth; previously it didn't prevent someone with an unmatched hostmask from identifying. * Fixed imports in the DCC plugin. * Fixed a bug where the bot would not reply to nick-addressed messages on a channel if his nick wasn't entirely lowercased. * Fixed the Relay plugin to relay topic changes; an oversight not caught earlier because supybot has for a long time managed our topics. * Fixed a bug in the Services plugin where the bot would ghost himself if his nick didn't match in case the nick given. * Added the ability for PrivmsgCommandAndRegexp to have regexps that are called *after* callbacks.addressed has been called on the message -- see ChannelDB.{increase,decrease}Karma for an example. * Fixed bug in supybot-wizard.py where plugins without configure functions would raise an uncaught exception. * Fixed debincoming to work since the removal of baseplugin; it was missing an import. * Fixed MiscCommands.doPrivmsg to send an IrcObjectProxyRegexp to the replyWhenNotCommand function. * Fixed debversion to display the correct output when no matching packages were found. * Fixed ChannelDB to import conf; karma didn't work otherwise. * Fixed a bug in the Enforcer plugin that would cause the bot to ban everyone from the channel whenever ChanServ deopped someone. * Changed the "whois" command in the Network plugin to "internic" instead. 2003-10-05 Jeremy Fincher * Version 0.73.0! * Added the News plugin, news handling for channels. * Changed the initial character of anti capabilities to '-' instead of '!'. '!' can be the initial character in a channel name, and so any command using getChannel and accepting a capability as its first argument (several in ChannelCommands) will have difficulties (the channel then *must* be specified since getChannel will consider !capability to be a channel name). Note that this means you'll need to either remove and re-create or edit your config files to change ! to - in capabilities. * Removed the "cvsup" command; it's been useless since we had a global install, and can only serve to confuse. * Added a "private" command to MiscCommands to allow users to specify that a response should be made in private. * Added a "secure" flag to user database records that *requires* that one of the user's hostmasks match if the user is to be recognized. This flag may be set with the "setsecure" command. * Added a convert command to the Math plugin. More conversions are necessary, if anyone's interested in doing it. The available units are available via the "units" command. * Fixed the pydoc command to allow access to standard Python modules that are shared libraries rather than pure Python code. * Added a "Python" plugin and moved FunCommands.{pydoc,zen} to it. * Fixed the supybot- scripts to use optparse so they now accept many command line options (but most importantly, the --help option :)) * Added a debincoming command to the Debian plugin; it searches the available packages at http://incoming.debian.org/ * Moved the "bug" command from MiscCommands to AdminCommands in order to prevent possible abuse. * Changed ChannelDB.seen to default to using nicks; a --user option can be passed to use the old behavior. Note that this means you'll have to update your ChannelDB database; use this SQL statement to do so: CREATE TABLE nick_seen ( name TEXT UNIQUE ON CONFLICT REPLACE, last_seen TIMESTAMP, last_msg TEXT );
