+ * Prevent multiple plugin registrations of the same name
+ * reworking the config system to use yaml for persistence
+ * reworking the config system key names
+ * on first startup, the bot will prompt for the essential startup config
+ * new config module for configuring the bot at runtime
+ * new config module includes new configurables, for example changing the
+ bot's language at runtime.
+ * various other fixes
+ * New way of mapping plugins to strings, using maps. These may be
+ familiar to rails users. This is to reduce the amount of regexps plugins
+ currently need to do to parse arguments. The old method (privmsg) is still
+ supported, of course. Example plugin now:
+ def MyPlugin < Plugin
+ def foo(m, params)
+ m.reply "bar"
+ end
+
+ def complexfoo(m, params)
+ m.reply "qux! (#{params[:bar]} #{params[:baz]})"
+ end
+ end
+ plugin = MyPlugin.new
+ # simple map
+ plugin.map 'foo'
+
+ # this will match "rbot: foo somestring otherstring" and pass the
+ # parameters as a hash using the names in the map.
+ plugin.map 'foo :bar :baz', :action => 'complexfoo'
+ # this means :foo is an optional parameter
+ plugin.map 'foo :foo', :defaults => {:foo => 'bar'}
+ # you can also gobble up into an array
+ plugin.map 'foo *bar' # params[:bar] will be an array of string elements
+ # and you can validate, here the first param must be a number
+ plugin.map 'foo :bar', :requirements => {:foo => /^\d+$/}

+
+ * Changed BotConfig to use yaml storage, method syntax instead of hash for
+ get/set, to allow more flexibility and encapsulation
+ * Added convenience method Message.okay (m.okay is the same as the
+ old-style @bot.okay m.replyto)
