* 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+$/}
