Since we support multiple networks and multiple servers now, the --server option has been removed from scripts/supybot, as has the --password option. supybot.defaultCapabilities is space-separated now, not comma-separated. You you should remove the commas from this value in your configuration file before loading the bot. 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.
