Changes for version 0.01_06 - 2003-03-17
- improved error handling of NNTP functions
- comprehensive NNTP logging has been added
- a significant bug with NNTP processing has been fixed; this would cause channel 'cpan upload' informs to take systematically longer to actually post
- Bot::BasicBot has been patched too extensively to maintain it as a dependency, not to mention the further patching it needs, therefore it has been bundled, and will eventually be further integrated, and perhaps rewritten
- logging format further improved; entries are now timestamped, communications to the bot are wrapped in => <='s, and we no longer log channel chatter, unless we were specifically addressed or if debugging is enabled
- fixed several bugs that would generate uninitialized value errors
- fixed a minor issue with _get_details in which it was not reporting that a module was invalid
- doubled the number of tests
- made further improvements to the POD
- added 'debug' option to the constructor. if this is enabled you will get *extremely* verbose debugging output
- added 'policy' option to the constructor (see POD)
- added 'search_max_results' to the constructor
- added 'rt' command - gets url of a dist's request tracker page
- added 'whois' command - gets a name/email from a CPAN ID
- added 'search' command - returns modules that match a regex
- added 'readme' command - returns README for a module via DCC CHAT
Changes for version 0.01_05 - 2003-03-13
- new patches for both POE::Component::IRC, and Bot::BasicBot are included. you'll need to reinstall both distributions from scratch, and re-patch both with the new patches
- if the patches are not correctly installed the bot will refuse to run
- fixed another issue with Bot::BasicBot, this time with addressing
- improvements to the POD
- author is now case insensitive for modules and distributions
- Bot::CPAN is now attributed in 'help'
- fixed issue where ignore_list wasn't being respected
- the logging format has been dramatically improved
- _reload_indices is now forked off so it doesn't block the bot
- added some real tests, but need much more
- special thanks to Spoon@#cpan@magnet for pointing out some of the anomalies that are fixed in this version, and for beta testing
Changes for version 0.01_04 - 2003-03-12

- all incoming commands are now case insensitive
Changes for version 0.01_03 - 2003-03-12

- pervase improvements to the internal architecture; deep magic can be found in Glue.pm, which may eventually be spun off as an independant bot development framework
- help system fully implemented
- we now uses notices instead of privmsg's to return data
- 'recent' command added
- we now support fully integrated attribute handlers
- more information has been added to the POD and README
- many thanks to gilc@#perl@magnet for beta testing
