Limnoria/ChangeLog

	* Fixed sorting in Status' uptime database.
	
	* Updated the Gameknot tests for expired games.
	
	* 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.
	
2003-11-18  Jeremy Fincher  <jemfinch@users.sf.net>

	* 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  <jemfinch@users.sf.net>
	
	* 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  <jemfinch@users.sf.net>

	* 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
	    );
