I released JSONBOT 0.80.3 .. the first in the 0.80 series ;] <br /><br />about <br />~~~~~ <br /><br />JSONBOT is a chatbot that can take commands and react to events on the network it is connected to (IRC, XMPP, WEB <br />mostely). Push functionality is also provided (think RSS feeds to your IRC channel or XMPP conference). It is possible to program your own plugins to create custom <br />functionality. <br /><br />source/docs <br />~~~~~~~~~~~ <br /><br /> see http://jsonbot.org and http://jsonbot.googlecode.com <br /><br /><br />make backup first <br />~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ <br /><br />I added the jsb-backup program, please run this before starting the 0.80 bot. It will make a backup of your datadir into ~/jsb-backups <br /><br />changes <br />~~~~~~~ <br /><br />* GAE is no longer part of the standard distribution, as that is aimed at shell users as of 0.80 - use the mercurial repo if you want to use the GAE part of the bot <br />* web console is now supported on shell - use the jsb-tornado program to launch a tornado web server bot on port 10102 <br />* jsb-xmpp now supports OpenFire - use --openfire option to enable this <br />* todo now uses per user databases instead of per channel - use the -c option to the todo command to show the channel todo <br />* learn items are not global per default - use !learn-toglobal to copy local learn data to the global learndb <br />* relay plugins has been rewritten to use bot.cfg.name as well - means that relays need to be created again <br />* jsb-udpstripped program has been added that can be used to send udp data to the bot without the need of making config files (copy and edit it) <br />* add fulljids = 1 to your xmpp bot config (most of the times in ~/.jsb/config/fleet/default-sxmpp/config) to enable full JID discovery in xmpp conference rooms <br /> (non anonymous) <br /><br />and: <br /><br />* lots of new plugins .. see !list ;] <br />* lots of bug fixes - thnx everybody for reporting them <br />* still lots of things to fix at <br /><br />03:35 < jsonbot> tracker is http://code.google.com/p/jsonbot/issues/list <br /><br />If you find any problems or have feature request please post that on the tracker url above. <br /><br />Or try @botfather on #dunkbots on irc.freenode.net ;]<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7369309523063858295-4576802241972760092?l=botfather.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Bart Thatenoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7369309523063858295.post-7110628133766518442011-10-04T16:01:00.000-07:002011-10-04T16:01:39.034-07:00Hello world and everybody !<br /><br />i'm pleased to announce the release of GOZERBOT 0.99.0, the first in a series of releases that are supposed to lead to a proper 1.0 release for GOZERBOT. The intention is to get a 1.0 version of GOZERBOT available for users that still use this bot, got almost 2000 download of 0.9.2 so its worth to support all those users with a release they can build on. I dont have the intention to develop GOZERBOT any further beyond that, that's what JSONBOT is all about, so keep in mind these are pure maintenance releases.<br /><br />2 major changes crept into this release, namely:<br /><br />* no more seperate gozerplugs package, its all wrapped into 1 thing. The gozerplugs package has find its way under the gplugs directory in the main distro so no more seperate installing of plugins.<br />* SQLAlchemy is now optional, so GOZERBOT can run on older versions of debian etc. Since this leads to less dependancies GOZERBOT is easier to install.<br /><br />note: there is not going to be a seperate "all" distro as those dependancies are already included.<br /><br />SQLAlchemy is made optional by providing plugins that use direct queries on the database, this is the default. You can change operations back to SA by setting db_driver = "alchemy" in gozerdata/mainconfig.<br /><br />The intention is to release a new version of GOZERBOT every week or so, until its stable for a long period of time. When its time i'll cut of the 1.0 release ;]<br /><br />urls:<br /><br />* download tar - <a href="http://code.google.com/p/gozerbot/downloads/list">http://code.google.com/p/gozerbot/downloads/list</a><br />* mercurial clone - "hg clone https://gozerbot.googlecode.com/hg mybot"<br />* please report bugs at <a href="http://code.google.com/p/gozerbot/issues/entry">http://code.google.com/p/gozerbot/issues/entry</a> especially if you are already running a GOZERBOT and run into problems.<br />* path to the futire - <a href="http://jsonbot.org">http://jsonbot.org</a><br /><br />read the provided README for instructions on how to get the bot running.<br /><br />Thats it for now, i hope to post here more often and not only to annouce new releases ;]<br /><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7369309523063858295-711062813376651844?l=botfather.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Bart Thatenoreply@blogger.com0
