+ - Created dirs: IRC, Factoids.
+ - moved partial core.pl and PerlMod.pl to modules.pl
+ - renamed Modules.pl to CommandStubs.pl

+ - moved 'ignorelist' from DCC-only to public/private msg.
+
+v1.0.0pre11 (20000601):
+ - we call &ircloop() if we want to reconnect. Any harm to perl?
+ - Wingate fixed yet again. maximum time for response is 6secs in
+ order to cache maximum number of hosts.
+ - Added ban() for Wingate.
+ - Forgot about virtual host support when changed over to Net::IRC
+ - process() still calls shmCycle() just in case.

+ to prevent endless loops from occurring.
+ - All debian stuff now fully forks -- good.
+ - Failure on &loadMyModule() now deletes $forked{$label}.

+ join.
+ - Debian module now searches woody's non-US properly. Misc fixes
+ here and there.

+ - Modules in Modules/* now dynamically loaded. Using about ~200k
+ less ram now.
+ - Added support of user modes with param{ircUMODE}. Requested by
+ Flugh.

+ - Typo for outsider checking. Noticed when #debian flooder came
+ back yet again :)

+ - ...
+
+v1.0.0pre7 (20000426):
+ - INSTALL and README updated.
+ - auto-request for ops after joining all channels instead of after
+ each channel join.

+ evaluation) if owner of factoid matches aswell as if requested
+ privately(good idea?)

+ set to 0 otherwise this solution is dead.

+ - nickometer bug (pi not defined) found by ddent. 'strict' cleanup.
+ - Preliminary CLI code included. Good for local use.
+ - typo in Topic.pl, found by jCommons. Fix for NULL topic.
+ - minor Debian.pl update to deal with 'missing files' on download.
+ - multi-shmwrite support added. looks like it doesn't "refresh"

+ forks in case a forked child dies unexpectedly.
+ - Renamed allowOutsiders to disallowOutsiders just in case if the
+ option is removed from the configuration.
+
+v1.0.0pre5 (20000331):
+ - setup_users.pl. DBI*() => sql*().

+ - Somehow I removed (or it wasn't there) 'my @results' from
+ searchTable();
+ - nickometer now uses loadPerlModule()... another 500 kB saved :)
+ - repeat flood detection prevention added.
+ - Added el-cheapo hash key counter... possible leak detector.
+ - Added 'factstats lame' for short and most probably stupid
+ factoids.
+ - Weather module removed
+ - Renamed 'join' to 'joinchan' to due warning//conflict raised
+ with perl 5.005 (on potato not slink).

+ - 'infobot' now first loads core.pl and logger.pl.
+ - timerExpire() fixed.

+ - Fixed Freshmeat.pl not to show duplicate packages found by
+ 'name' and 'oneliner' search. Made showPackage() function.
+ - Debian modules now does multi distro. (woody's non-us appears to
+ be different structure so does not work :(, very crude hack...
+ may not even work).
+ - Added subfactoid randomising. eg: '(one|two|three)'.
+ - 'dauthor' now works!
+ - karma fixed... used the wrong var name.
+ - Fixed doubling of text when message from 'nick' is ignored.
+ - Added 'redir' to designate one factoid as master and duplicates
+ as redirectors//slaves.
+ - Added addressing recognition character(s) support. eg "!status".
+ - Seen info now cached and flushed at intervals or upon exiting.
+ - Added 'EXAMPLES' file to doc/.
+ - Removed ancient '&channel()'.
+ - Bug fixes after offshore installation of bot.
+ - Debian output of 'info' fixed. looks like 'fm', heh.
+ - Debian distro stats added. I'm competing with larne and his mods
+ to dpkg@OPN#debian :) so far so good.
+ - Forgot to close shm upon exit, heh :) However this does not
+ prevent leakage when the bot crashes.
+ - Parameter 'forking' now works, courtesy of generic &Forker()
+ function, woohoo! Now we use &Forker() for _everything_.
+ I had this in the todo list, removed it and decided to implement
+ it once and for all.

+ reports" sent from #debian, thanks!

+ - Grep nick from list of nicks in IsNickInChan(). Bug found by
+ Mercury.
+ - Time taken and final xfer rate displayed in FTP.
+ - Fixed bug where 'or' is eval'd in Math.pl. Return '' if eval()
+ is not done. Bug found by dent.
+ - Added 'factstats redir' to list working and non-working

+ repetition prevention.

+ - Unified tell code in Process.pl.
+ - Moved variable fix and addresing code to IrcHooks.pl
+ - Moved tell code from Question.pl to UserExtra.pl.
+ - Found that % and \ were double backslashed; added it to invalid
+ factoids. May have been caused by whoever unbacked up 'apt',
+ cerb? :) May want to add a function to automatically fix badly
+ formed factoids.
+ - Added 'factstats profanity', with &hasProfanity($str).
+ - Added functions for shared memory usage.
+ Uses: prevent exploitation of forked processes.
+ - Added 'factstats unrequested'.

+ - Used 'use diagnostics;'. Fixed most warnings.
+ - Added &WARN().
+ - Minor typo in &IsInvalid() on last statement, heh.
+ - Fixed (DAILY) logging, finally. Was broken too many times.
+ - Added &getLineFromFile() for debugging purposes. BROKEN
+ - Added Debian search-engine frontend => Debian.pl.
+ UPDATE: forget mysql, takes too long.

+ - Made use of 'unless' instead of 'if !'.
+ - Added &DBIRaw().
+ - Addressing required on all commands.
+ - Added &fixFileList() to simplify files with common directories.
+ - RevHippie stumped me with the best method to write this,
+ heh. Why do I always try to do things in 1 loop instead
+ of 2 loops?
+
+v0.99pre7 (19991230):
+ - Renamed some setup/DBI calls.
+ - Simplified nickserv/chanserv code. chanserv opping may break

+ - Altered talkMethod to allow 'private' or 'default'. Made no
+ sense to have it on public-only, heh.
+ - friendlyBots will be kept to be compatible with other stock
+ infobots but soon enough multiple mysql database support will be
+ added. Will be quite nice once done.
+ - Added maxListReplyCount and maxListReplyLen. Read infobot.config
+ for details.
+ - Replaced $refresh with freshmeatRefreshInterval to config.
+ - Changed learn setting from ALWAYS to HUNGRY.
+ - Reorganised Extras.pl, we shouldn't bail out if the command
+ can be disabled as the person who runs the bot should have
+ brains.
+ - Moved some Process.pl stuff to myRoutines.pl.

+ ignoreList code works.
+ - Fixed setupmysql.pl
+ - Moved repeatIgnoreInterval to minRepeat*Reply where * is Private
+ or Public.
+ - Now preferReply works. Wasn't hard as it first looked.

+ - added &fixMySQLBug() => adds backslash to special chars.
+
+v0.99pre3 (19991216):
+ - Fix connection bug where if host does not resolve, it appears
+ that it's connection refused. Now non-resolving hosts are
+ detected earlier. Found by some *.it (or .es??) guy.
+ - Added 'sync in #s' when the bot has joined a channel... just
+ like in BitchX.
+ - Added txt2mysql.pl.
+ - Removed instances of '^\s*' to '^' since $message can be
+ manipulated in Process.pl.
+ - Fixed Statement.pl so that it doesn't catch queries... it's a
+ stupid idea any way.
+ - Removed 'confused' in favour of 'dunno'.
+ - Funny hack in performReply(). Stupid but it works.
+ - Added 'host' column in seen table.
+ - Made use of &gettimeofday() for freshmeat and search function.
+
+v0.99pre2 (19991213):
+ - Made use of new database (directory) not to interfere with other
+ crucial dbs.
+ - Re-added &getKeys(), mysql's RLIKE wouldn't like "'" in the
+ statement. If several of similar queries are required, better
+ off using &getKeys().
+ - Added two more conversion scripts.
+
+v0.99pre1 (19991211): personal release. MAJOR CHANGES.
+ - create a script to add the blootbot user to the mysql server and
+ prepare tables for use with the bot.
+ - butchered Question.pl, Reply.pl, Statement.pl and Reply.pl.
+ - main factoid db ported over; barely tested.
+ - seen ported over; appears to work.
+ - karma ported over; not tested at all.
+ - freshmeat ported over; fix brokeness.
+ - search (listvals and listkeys) ported over.
+ - rootwarn ported over.
+
+ - Use quotemeta in DBI.pl on special chars, especially ' :)
+ - Added factstats 'broken' function.
+ - Made use of multiple connections to avoid clashing... does
+ clashing only occur when there's an INSERT/UPDATE or SELECT or
+ both?
+ - Changed $factoid to $faqtoid... good idea? how about $lhs?
+ - Changed getKeys to countKeys to take advantage of mysql.
+ - Added randKey to get random primkey,key from table.
+ - Removed process() when msgType == 'public action'. Why would we
+ want to care about actions anyway?
+ - Fix public action; Added private action to &status().
+ - Added &ERROR();
+ - Made message and who flooding independent in IrcHooks.pl. Now we
+ use %flood... should be expanded to use %ignoreList;
+
+ NOTES...
+ - DBI.pl has more functions than what DBMExtra.pl had in order to
+ implement a table-like hash list.
+ - &DBISet() always verifies if an entry already exists and does an
+ UPDATE instead of an INSERT... flaw in mysql or my code???
+ - &DBISet() can only set one (in UPDATE, two in INSERT), variable
+ at a time. Does this impose a performance hit? like on seen.
+ - ...
+
+ TODO...
+ - infobot.cgi not ported over.
+ - weather not ported over.
+ - add alarm call between while in Dict.pl.
+
+*************************************************

+v0.18.2 (199912??): dropped.

+ - Revamped; removed unused functions.
+ - Moved Set.pl to here.
+ - Moved 4op code here.
+ - Moved some functions from Process.pl to here.
+ - Rewrote rehash command.
+ - More casing fixes; debugging info _should_ help to find more.
+ - Changed infobot.users.
+
+v0.17.0 (19991126):
+ - Netsplit code prevented stats of signoffs; fixed.
+ - Messed around with logging code to prevent control chars.
+ - Removed exchange and excuse module because of brokeness.
+ - Applied patch from RevHippie. Thanks!
+ - Added delimiter support in addressing of hello msg.
+ - Removed 'score' in karma.
+ - Added 'learn' (ALWAYS or ADDRESSED) support. Normal
+ operation == ADDRESSED. Bot won't respond voluntarily to
+ factoids but will respond to learning.
+ - Ability to turn off minVolunteerLength.
+ - More changes to prevent chatter in unaddressed manner.
+ - We remove any ansi or control chars when piping to the log file.
+ RevHippie++.
+ - Added 'thanks' language.

+ - Added Unset support to Set.pl; Changed so anything can be set
+ or unset.
+ - Made use of &purifyNick() so regex doesn't break. $safeWho
+ now defined earlier.
+
+v0.16.0 (19991122):
+ - Applied bug fixes from infobot 0.44.3, added md5 password
+ support (*BSD?).
+ - Added &IsParam() to check existance of params the proper
+ (strict) way.
+ - Moved rootWarn stuff from Extras.pl to RootWarn.pl.
+ - filenames (rootwarn and uptime) now not statically set.
+ - Cleaned up config file and Setup.pl.
+ - Fixed up &parsectcp() in CTCP.pl.
+ - Changed ($ischan) to (\S+) in Irc.pl under PRIVMSG.
+ - Major reorganisation of Misc.pl -- removed unused functions.
+ - Moved some variables to 'infobot'.
+ - Fixed ANSI typo by some loser; Changed format of &status()'s in
+ Irc.pl, seems to look nice thus far.
+ - Added "author" command under &FactStats() in DBMExtra.pl.
+ - Added case insensitivity to &IsHostMatch() and search strings in
+ DBMExtra.pl. Any more of these?
+ - Removed disabled netsplit code.
+ - Changed 'defined' to 'exists' on all hash lists, 'cept hashes
+ created by opening db's.
+ - Modified repeat code on modified_time. If this time is small,
+ msgType is changed to 'private' for flooding reasons and
+ max_time is reduced by half. latter appears not to work???
+
+v0.15.0 (19991112):
+ - Quite funny that once the repeat code was moved to Question.pl
+ factoid extension leakage was found. maths leakage was also
+ happening but somehow is fixed when the repeat code was moved
+ back.
+ - Clean up of variable names in Reply.pl and Question.pl
+ - Changed 'length' to 'eq ""' or 'ne ""' where possible.
+ This should produce faster code but benchmarks prove this change
+ is neglible. Guess perl is slow :)
+ - Cleaned up and fixed 'tell <who> about <what>' code.
+ - Set.pl fixed; Added DEBUG to allowable set list.
+ - Volunteer code moved to top of Question.pl.
+
+v0.14.0 (19991110):
+ - Message overflow fix in &FactStats().
+ - Added 'factstats new' command to display new factoids in the
+ last 24 hours.
+ - Fixed up ping reply, requested by a few from #debian@OPN.
+ - Re-added debugging of DBMExtra due to leakage of orthaned
+ factoid extensions. Need to investigate and confirm the
+ lowercase fix of factoids.
+ - Two functions which used &mkRandom() now fixed due to poor
+ effort in implementation. Added missing srand(). now the maximum
+ length of 475 should not be exceeded, hopefully. it can be
+ beefed up to 490 if needed.
+
+v0.13.0 (19991108):
+ - Made use of &help() which uses infobot.help. This paves the way
+ for NLS as suggested by njs.
+ - Fixed up code on netjoin/netsplit in an effort to find
+ statistics leakage. Added debugging info to netjoin/netsplit.
+ - Fixed typo (three instances) in factinfo where time() was used
+ instead of the data in the factoid extension. Found by larne.
+ - Allow main thread to do a clean exit while the child does
+ nothing. Possible fix for weird uptime info.
+ - Removed sar of 'your|i|you|me' to prevent automated reverse
+ persona which is better done by the user. Suggested by njs.
+ - Cleaned up behaviour of &FixPlural(). Fixes a bug.
+ - Repeat prevention code now replaced (moved aswell) to use
+ factoid extensions
+ - Fixed 'factstats requested' error.
+
+v0.12.6 (19991103): bugfix on bugfix release ;)
+ - Fixed bug where you can't lock a factoid because the hostmatch
+ ($thisnuh = "") failed. Found by wolfie.
+ - Fixed up 512byte overflow in factstats[requested].
+ - hm... wonder how I broke Weather.pl.
+
+v0.12.5 (19991101): Bugfix release
+ - Fixed "bad" array in Freshmeat.pl. All appologies to scoop.
+ [update: use array[5] if it exists, otherwise do as before.]
+ - Removed some debugging info from DBMExtra.pl.
+ - Fixed inconsistent chanstats behaviour in SignOff.
+ [Update: forgot to delete the user info _after_ we do the stats]
+ - Moved factoid stats count and repeat checking code to
+ Question.pl. Now it works as planned :) :) :)
+
+v0.12.4 (19991028):
+ - Added factstat and listauth commands.
+ - 'topic add' now prepends subtopic not append.
+ - Fixed up minor problem with 'topic restore last'.
+ - Changed default of locking access to people who own their
+ factoid or to registered ops. This should please #debian.
+ - Reduced usage of @{$var} which cannot be really deleted cleanly.
+ - Moved DBMExtra-related stuff from myRoutines.pl to DBMExtra.pl.
+ - Added new functions &mkRandom() and &getRandom().
+ - Changed all code (Search.pl) which used random to the one
+ developed in DBMExtra.pl. => made code slightly smaller.
+ - Cleaned up Search.pl to look nice.
+ - Found yet another casing bug under TOPIC in Irc.pl.
+ - Fixed bug where dbmextra queries where made on non-factoids like
+ maths and probably karma.
+
+v0.12.3 (19991025):
+ - Added while loop around connect which should prevent the bot
+ from falling down (dying).
+ - Forgot 'main::' for &getURL in Freshmeat.pl. Changed
+ opening/closing code yet again. Removed checking on open
+ read-only.
+ - Changed Dict.pl to reply private only by default. '+' will allow
+ public responses without suggestions/synonyms.
+ - Added checking against pidfile. running two bots from the same
+ dir at the same time using the same db == disaster. Ask #debian
+ about it :)
+ - Implemented Weather.pl.
+
+v0.12.1 (19991022):
+ - Made distribution out of infobot -> blootbot.
+ - Irc.pl was prone to be fucking up -- swapped (.*) to (\S+) where
+ necessary. stab lenzo for this :) found more instances of this.
+ [update: appears to trap too many of something, check
+ 'chaninfo #chan' for info.]
+ - Minor fix for Freshmeat.pl when opening/closing db.
+ - Factoid extension code is ready for testing. possible in the
+ future to add "factstats" for like: top 3 requested factoids.
+ [update] added lock checking on sar and on updates ("no, "...)
+
+v0.12.0 (19991020): (v0.11.6 + bugfixes + trial)
+ - Major shake-up of how addressing is handled -- damn it took me a
+ long time to get this to work.
+ - Changed command names in Topic.pl to &topicBlah().
+ - Found and fixed (hopefully) all 7 channel casing bugs.
+ - Moved freshmeat to use berkeley db instead of raw appindex.txt
+ file. finally got it to work, seems 30% faster. Creating the db
+ takes a long time though.
+ - Added "set" command => Set.pl.
+ - Added support of talkMethod which behaves much like lobotomy.
+ In the future, talkMethod =~ /(lobotomy|none)/ may be used.
+ - Purged: METAR2.pl, NOAA.pl, UAFlight.pl.
+ - RootWarn only works if the bot is opped in the channel.
+ - Created performStrictReply() from performReply().
+ - Quote.pl and Internic.pl now work.
+ - Fixed a few typos in myRoutines.pl
+ - Removed bold on dictionary.
+
+v0.11.5 (19991012):
+ - Fixed $chan to lowercase where appropriate.
+ - Fixed volunteer reply code... I guess it worked before but now
+ it is somewhat cleaner and easy to understand.
+ - Added factoid owner database, requested by njs.
+ - If public message is addressed to someone else, we ignore it.
+ - Now support referer factoids ('blah is <REPLY> see erp'). if
+ 'blah' is asked, the reply from 'erp' is given.
+ - OPN allows part messages -- fixed in /PART/ for $chan.
+
+v0.11.3 (19991008):
+ - Uptime.pl appears to be fixed after rewrite of getUptimeInfo.
+ - Fixed up Freshmeat.pl for updating the index. Proxy is now
+ optional.
+ - Moved rootWarn to RootWarn.pl. Added hall-of-fame of losers.
+ - Cleaned up bugs/typo here and there which may have caused the
+ bot to behave in a weird manner.
+
+v0.11.2 (19991006):
+ - ChanInfo now displays "statistics" just like our little friend
+ BitchX.
+ - Minor change in determining args on commands [myRoutines].
+ - Added "cmdstats".
+ - Added rootWarn checking on checks. Repeat offenders will be
+ punished. Requested by larne. [update: we aren't so harsh now]
+ - Added lc $chan where appropriate. damn uppercase channames.
+
+v0.11.1 (19991005):
+ - all instances of undef on hash lists changed to delete which
+ _now_ works. found minor bugs/typos related to DUI.
+ - Now skip internic whois intro (13 lines) to fix bad output.
+ - Forgot to subtract $i from $counter in chaninfo when full.
+ [update: whole function changed, see above]
+ - Now backup (and gzip) freshmeat index file.
+
+v0.11 (19991004): looks like a bug fix release :)
+ - Fixed typo in reply of Topic.pl/&NewTopic().
+ - Decreased max topic length allowed; now print it, too, for
+ debugging.
+ - Altered repeat code to only work on public. Flooders should be
+ taken care of by the (allowOutsiders == 0) code. if not, there's
+ 'lobotomy' :)
+ - Added excess flood protection around &rawout();
+ - Don't bother about outsiders if we haven't joined any channels.
+ - Changed email address to one throughout modifications.
+ New files have neato headers.
+ - Uptime.pl fixed, didn't need to check against ($pid == $$)
+ - Repeat-prevention code kind-of looks what it was before but this
+ one, at least, works :). any problems, just bitch at me.
+ - Added debugging code for chaninfo to diagnose "problem".
+
+v0.10 (19991001):
+ - Added Uptime module.
+ - Added Freshmeat module.
+ - Dict now returns definition without suggestions (syn's) by
+ default. Also cleaned up.
+ - NickServ/ChanServ major clean up.
+ - Join upon reconnect fix: set $joinchans = 0.
+ - Fixed up Help.pl, added more help entries.
+
+v0.9b (19990925):
+ - Did repeat-prevention code from scratch -- now works.
+ [19991001 update]: multiplier is now 2 instead of 10.
+ - Made reaction to "hello" more strict. the same should be done to
+ "thanks", don't you think?
+ - Converted remaining modules to use forking. should be no more
+ bot lockups...
+ - Changed maxhits to 20 for Search.
+
+v0.9 (19990924): +16K added to patch size.
+ - More, more and more major changes.
+ - Fixed up inappropriate usage of performReply.
+ - Added lobotomy command to (un)silence the bot.
+ - Added allowOutsiders toggle to prevent usage of the bot
+ _outside_ the channels the bot is in.
+ - Added $fullyaddressed, enabled if $addressed == 1 and
+ $param{addressing} == REQUIRE.
+ - Readded auto-continuity code. it is disable if not fully
+ addressed. otherwise works as per normal.
+ - Moved join-on-start-of-motd code to end-of-motd. If nickserv &&
+ chanserv is enabled, IDENTIFY is done first. If okay, then we
+ proceed to join channels.
+ - When bot joins channel, summary of nicks (ops|voice|total) is
+ given instead of NAMES list.
+ - Chanserv support moved to "end of names".
+ - Detection of nickserv (no such nick).
+ - join channel if channel is on our joins list and if we're not on
+ it (hrm, providing their client prevents it).
+ - ...
+
+v0.8 (19990919): +50K patch from last version.
+ - Major changes, particularly cleanups and fixed a few bugs:
+ - Found 2 or so instances of $params{}. Either deleted or
+ renamed to $param where appropriate.
+ - Shortened foreach statements where possible.
+ - Replaced duplicate code involving &say and &msg with
+ &performReply($text,[0=rand,1=strict]). -- major shortcut and
+ cleanup.
+ - Added tracking of all users on channel(s). Users are
+ deleted if they disappear for whatever reason with
+ &DeleteUserInfo.
+ - Tracking of channels now works; they are deleted if we disappear
+ from any channel for whatever reason (hopefully).
+ - 'forget' command _SHOULD_ be wrapped with $addressed.
+ - Moved 'modes' from User.pl to myRoutines.pl as 'chaninfo'.
+ - Added stock quote support by using mu's script. Thanks.
+ - Added param{*} around stuff in myRoutines.pl for flexibility.
+ - Added auto-join on invite if not on specific "join_channels"
+ - Renamed &Timetostring to &Time2String and made use of it not
+ only for status but for seen.
+ - If $param{*} == false, it is now not defined.
+ - Removed Auto-continuity code -- very evil for any bot commands
+ other than non-intentionally requesting a factoid.
+ - crypt command required "(" before passwd???
+ - Removed stupid commands which just generate URLs for you to cut
+ and paste.
+ - repeatIgnoreInterval code _NOW_ works unlike before.
+ - Added support for Topic.pl not to update topics if commands are
+ prepended by '-'. Topics can be "rehashed" when either a) the
+ next command is used without '-' or b) "rehash" is the next
+ command.
+ - &NewTopic takes two more args to prevent repetition and now does
+ topic checking. Check code for details.
+
+v0.7 (19990914):
+ - Major clean up: Search.pl now only uses the "is" dbm; final
+ pair of parens in commands removed for legibility; Removed
+ debugging for NickServ, ChanServ to go.
+ - Added multiple subtopic delete ability. requested by Mercury.
+ - Moved responses/replies to [files/infobot.lang]. Modified
+ related functions to conform, including mine.
+ - Fixed up Kernel.pl to use different type of sockets. Previous
+ code somehow broke itself.
+ - Added, but disabled, semi-working timer support. Need to ask
+ lenzo some questions on how to implement it the best way.
+ - Added channel (and offender's) notification if someone joins the
+ channel with root. requested by #debian.
+ - Added dict.org support. For now, it uses wordnet and returns a
+ random definition. Could change in the future.
+
+v0.6 (19990903):
+ - Added support for nickserv and chanserv, requested by is.
+ - Updated README to describe new features and modifications. Do we
+ need to elaborate on the modifications to the depth where it
+ would exceed the size of the patch?
+ - Minor clean up.
+ - Removed assumed-continuity of messages -- should be used if
+ addressing is in optional mode but would be bad in any situation
+ if more than one infobot existed in the channel.
+ - Added parsing of g flag to factoid sar.
+
+v0.5 (19990827):
+ - Better way to confirm if bot is on channel now for topic
+ management. Also added check for +o+t or -t. &DoModes() on
+ server stuff, too?
+ - Patch updated to work for infobot-0.44.2 only.
+ - Found a bug in Irc.pl under "NAMES" where $u was used initially
+ but trashed afterwards. => replaced $u w/ $_.
+ - Lost track of a bug found by Mercury. Seems to be fixed now,
+ somehow, heh.
+
+v0.4c (19990822):
+ - Worked on random-cookie -- random responses can now be added
+ (internally) with ease.
+ - Noticed joeyh changing his nick to/from '||' which reminded me
+ of something bad ;) hint: topic management.
+ - One line patch to allow '|' in factoids; delimiter is now '||'.
+
+v0.4b (19990818):
+ - Implemented patch from mu. Now it is possible to use the topic
+ command through private messages to the bot instead of the
+ channel.
+ - Replaced SAR of \| with \|\| so we can still use the single
+ pipes. Double pipes will be either removed or promote an error
+ message. Found by Robot101. Added el-cheapo work-around if the
+ last char of subtopic is |, kill it.
+
+v0.4a (19990816):
+ - Added cheap fix (sleep 1, heh) to excess floods of 'topic
+ history'. Is sleep 1 enough?
+ - Added 'random' for random value{key} from database.
+ Requested by jCommons.
+
+v0.4 (19990815):
+ - Fixed topic history by replacing push with unshift. Now the
+ history list is reversed and cycled properly.
+ - Reversed Changes list. request by mu.
+ - Totally fixed up topic history since it would break if
+ 'topic add' was induced quickly. Now we only record topics set
+ by us (for reasons) and onjoin topics (set by anyone).
+ - Removed 'topic last/reset' because how do you know which topic
+ is last? Better control with 'topic restore'.
+
+v0.3c (19990813):
+ - Fixed 'topic mv 2 before 1' bug. Forgot to store 'move' topic
+ before doing the foreach loop.
+ - Touched up Kernel.pl in preparation for auto-notify feature.
+
+v0.3b (19990812):
+ - Added version string to new files so we know which version
+ of patch we're using (or used). There you go, Mercury ;)
+ - Fixed up DecipherTopic to reject null subtopics. This would, if
+ unchanged, (theoretically but not tried, luckily) produce a
+ domino-effect of problems if the topic was to be changed.
+ Update: check if the supposed null topic contains spaces
+ within the nick component. If so, then it's not
+ nick, therefore treat like ownerless subtopic.
+ - Worked on README.
+
+v0.3a (19990810):
+ - Changed back to use topic{chan} (now topicnow{chan}) since
+ @topiclist{chan} (now @topichist{chan}) does not deal with dupes
+ or blanks.
+ - Renamed 'topic last' in preference to 'topic reset'. Original
+ command can be used but is vague in meaning.
+ - Fixed several typos made in Irc.pl.
+ - Replaced 'defined' with 'length' in if statements.
+
+v0.3 (19990809):
+ - Applied patch from mu for Irc.pl | Topic.pl.
+ - Replaced %topic hash and $topiclast with @{$topiclist{chan}}.
+ Much cleaner implementation. Thanks to mu for this. Fully
+ implemented by xk.
+ - Reworked on topicbyme (was topiclast), should work now.
+
+v0.2 (19990808):
+ - Changed name of patch to funkystuph.
+ - Added history/last/restore to Topic.pl by request of mu and is.
+ - Reorganised help and order of commands in Topic.pl
+ - Bot must be addressed to use commands.
+ - Fixed bug if multiple infobots were in the channel.
+ - One occurrence where Cipher was called instead of CipherTopic.
+ - Fixed up Slashdot.pl. Problems: a) borked completely b) missed
+ first headline. el-cheapo fix but it works.
+
+v0.1c (19990729):
+ - Fixed long list{keys|values} bug, hopefully.
+ - Now randomize key results from search.
+ - If keys contain ',', underline to differentiate it.
+ - Fixed possible DoS against Kernel.pl.
+ - Bug fixed with Kernel.pl repeating itself.
+ - Typo of @results [one occurrance of @result]
+
+v0.1b (19990723):
+ - Fixed bug with &CipherTopic where, if no owner was found, it
+ would just use NULL. [like "Topic ()"]
+ - Added kernel feature.
+ - Moved error messages to public/private, depending on behaviour.
+ Help-related stuff is private(msg) only for convenience.
+
+v0.1a (19990721):
+ - Misc cleanup, removed repeated code.
+
+v0.1 (19990720):
+ - Initial release.

- 'cd /usr/lib/perl5; cat *.patch| patch -p0'

- for sure, won't bloat the bot by 2-4megs (but why that much?).

- - Typo for outsider checking. Noticed when #debian flooder came
- back yet again :)

-
-v1.0.0pre8 (20000505):

- - Preliminary CLI code included. Good for local use.
- - typo in Topic.pl, found by jCommons. Fix for NULL topic.

- 2k :)))
- - Minor modifications to &DBIGetCol();
- - Move +s flag to 'set search' in infobot.config.
- - Altered talkMethod to allow 'private' or 'default'. Made no
- sense to have it on public-only, heh.
- - friendlyBots will be kept to be compatible with other stock
- infobots but soon enough multiple mysql database support will be
- added. Will be quite nice once done.
- - Added maxListReplyCount and maxListReplyLen. Read infobot.config
- for details.
- - Replaced $refresh with freshmeatRefreshInterval to config.
- - Changed learn setting from ALWAYS to HUNGRY.
- - Reorganised Extras.pl, we shouldn't bail out if the command

- ignoreList code works.
- - Fixed setupmysql.pl
- - Moved repeatIgnoreInterval to minRepeat*Reply where * is Private
- or Public.
- - Now preferReply works. Wasn't hard as it first looked.
- - Added global '+' flag support.
- - Fixed logging: added logType param; if logType =~ /DAILY/, new

- - added &fixMySQLBug() => adds backslash to special chars.
-
-v0.99pre3 (19991216):
- - Fix connection bug where if host does not resolve, it appears
- that it's connection refused. Now non-resolving hosts are
- detected earlier. Found by some *.it (or .es??) guy.
- - Added 'sync in #s' when the bot has joined a channel... just
- like in BitchX.
- - Added txt2mysql.pl.
- - Removed instances of '^\s*' to '^' since $message can be
- manipulated in Process.pl.
- - Fixed Statement.pl so that it doesn't catch queries... it's a
- stupid idea any way.
- - Removed 'confused' in favour of 'dunno'.
- - Funny hack in performReply(). Stupid but it works.
- - Added 'host' column in seen table.
- - Made use of &gettimeofday() for freshmeat and search function.
-
-v0.99pre2 (19991213):
- - Made use of new database (directory) not to interfere with other
- crucial dbs.

- statement. If several of similar queries are required, better
- off using &getKeys().
- - Added two more conversion scripts.
-
-v0.99pre1 (19991211): personal release. MAJOR CHANGES.
- - create a script to add the blootbot user to the mysql server and
- prepare tables for use with the bot.
- - butchered Question.pl, Reply.pl, Statement.pl and Reply.pl.
- - main factoid db ported over; barely tested.
- - seen ported over; appears to work.
- - karma ported over; not tested at all.
- - freshmeat ported over; fix brokeness.
- - search (listvals and listkeys) ported over.
- - rootwarn ported over.
-
- - Use quotemeta in DBI.pl on special chars, especially ' :)
- - Added factstats 'broken' function.
- - Made use of multiple connections to avoid clashing... does
- clashing only occur when there's an INSERT/UPDATE or SELECT or
- both?
- - Changed $factoid to $faqtoid... good idea? how about $lhs?
- - Changed getKeys to countKeys to take advantage of mysql.
- - Added randKey to get random primkey,key from table.
- - Removed process() when msgType == 'public action'. Why would we
- want to care about actions anyway?
- - Fix public action; Added private action to &status().
- - Added &ERROR();
- - Made message and who flooding independent in IrcHooks.pl. Now we
- use %flood... should be expanded to use %ignoreList;
-
- NOTES...
- - DBI.pl has more functions than what DBMExtra.pl had in order to
- implement a table-like hash list.
- - &DBISet() always verifies if an entry already exists and does an
- UPDATE instead of an INSERT... flaw in mysql or my code???
- - &DBISet() can only set one (in UPDATE, two in INSERT), variable
- at a time. Does this impose a performance hit? like on seen.
- - ...
-
- TODO...
- - infobot.cgi not ported over.
- - weather not ported over.
- - add alarm call between while in Dict.pl.
-
-*************************************************

-
-v0.15.0 (19991112):
- - Quite funny that once the repeat code was moved to Question.pl
- factoid extension leakage was found. maths leakage was also
- happening but somehow is fixed when the repeat code was moved
- back.
- - Clean up of variable names in Reply.pl and Question.pl
- - Changed 'length' to 'eq ""' or 'ne ""' where possible.

- - Set.pl fixed; Added DEBUG to allowable set list.
- - Volunteer code moved to top of Question.pl.

- last 24 hours.
- - Fixed up ping reply, requested by a few from #debian@OPN.
- - Re-added debugging of DBMExtra due to leakage of orthaned
- factoid extensions. Need to investigate and confirm the
- lowercase fix of factoids.
- - Two functions which used &mkRandom() now fixed due to poor
- effort in implementation. Added missing srand(). now the maximum
- length of 475 should not be exceeded, hopefully. it can be
- beefed up to 490 if needed.
-
-v0.13.0 (19991108):
- - Made use of &help() which uses infobot.help. This paves the way
- for NLS as suggested by njs.
- - Fixed up code on netjoin/netsplit in an effort to find
- statistics leakage. Added debugging info to netjoin/netsplit.
- - Fixed typo (three instances) in factinfo where time() was used
- instead of the data in the factoid extension. Found by larne.
- - Allow main thread to do a clean exit while the child does
- nothing. Possible fix for weird uptime info.
- - Removed sar of 'your|i|you|me' to prevent automated reverse
- persona which is better done by the user. Suggested by njs.

- ($thisnuh = "") failed. Found by wolfie.
- - Fixed up 512byte overflow in factstats[requested].
- - hm... wonder how I broke Weather.pl.
-
-v0.12.5 (19991101): Bugfix release
- - Fixed "bad" array in Freshmeat.pl. All appologies to scoop.
- [update: use array[5] if it exists, otherwise do as before.]
- - Removed some debugging info from DBMExtra.pl.
- - Fixed inconsistent chanstats behaviour in SignOff.
- [Update: forgot to delete the user info _after_ we do the stats]
- - Moved factoid stats count and repeat checking code to
- Question.pl. Now it works as planned :) :) :)
-
-v0.12.4 (19991028):
- - Added factstat and listauth commands.
- - 'topic add' now prepends subtopic not append.
- - Fixed up minor problem with 'topic restore last'.
- - Changed default of locking access to people who own their
- factoid or to registered ops. This should please #debian.
- - Reduced usage of @{$var} which cannot be really deleted cleanly.
- - Moved DBMExtra-related stuff from myRoutines.pl to DBMExtra.pl.
- - Added new functions &mkRandom() and &getRandom().
- - Changed all code (Search.pl) which used random to the one
- developed in DBMExtra.pl. => made code slightly smaller.
- - Cleaned up Search.pl to look nice.
- - Found yet another casing bug under TOPIC in Irc.pl.
- - Fixed bug where dbmextra queries where made on non-factoids like
- maths and probably karma.
-
-v0.12.3 (19991025):
- - Added while loop around connect which should prevent the bot
- from falling down (dying).
- - Forgot 'main::' for &getURL in Freshmeat.pl. Changed
- opening/closing code yet again. Removed checking on open
- read-only.
- - Changed Dict.pl to reply private only by default. '+' will allow
- public responses without suggestions/synonyms.
- - Added checking against pidfile. running two bots from the same
- dir at the same time using the same db == disaster. Ask #debian
- about it :)
- - Implemented Weather.pl.
-
-v0.12.1 (19991022):
- - Made distribution out of infobot -> blootbot.
- - Irc.pl was prone to be fucking up -- swapped (.*) to (\S+) where
- necessary. stab lenzo for this :) found more instances of this.
- [update: appears to trap too many of something, check
- 'chaninfo #chan' for info.]
- - Minor fix for Freshmeat.pl when opening/closing db.
- - Factoid extension code is ready for testing. possible in the
- future to add "factstats" for like: top 3 requested factoids.
- [update] added lock checking on sar and on updates ("no, "...)
-
-v0.12.0 (19991020): (v0.11.6 + bugfixes + trial)
- - Major shake-up of how addressing is handled -- damn it took me a
- long time to get this to work.
- - Changed command names in Topic.pl to &topicBlah().
- - Found and fixed (hopefully) all 7 channel casing bugs.
- - Moved freshmeat to use berkeley db instead of raw appindex.txt
- file. finally got it to work, seems 30% faster. Creating the db
- takes a long time though.
- - Added "set" command => Set.pl.
- - Added support of talkMethod which behaves much like lobotomy.
- In the future, talkMethod =~ /(lobotomy|none)/ may be used.
- - Purged: METAR2.pl, NOAA.pl, UAFlight.pl.
- - RootWarn only works if the bot is opped in the channel.
- - Created performStrictReply() from performReply().
- - Quote.pl and Internic.pl now work.
- - Fixed a few typos in myRoutines.pl
- - Removed bold on dictionary.
-
-v0.11.5 (19991012):
- - Fixed $chan to lowercase where appropriate.
- - Fixed volunteer reply code... I guess it worked before but now
- it is somewhat cleaner and easy to understand.
- - Added factoid owner database, requested by njs.
- - If public message is addressed to someone else, we ignore it.
- - Now support referer factoids ('blah is <REPLY> see erp'). if
- 'blah' is asked, the reply from 'erp' is given.
- - OPN allows part messages -- fixed in /PART/ for $chan.
-
-v0.11.3 (19991008):
- - Uptime.pl appears to be fixed after rewrite of getUptimeInfo.
- - Fixed up Freshmeat.pl for updating the index. Proxy is now
- optional.
- - Moved rootWarn to RootWarn.pl. Added hall-of-fame of losers.
- - Cleaned up bugs/typo here and there which may have caused the
- bot to behave in a weird manner.
-
-v0.11.2 (19991006):
- - ChanInfo now displays "statistics" just like our little friend
- BitchX.
- - Minor change in determining args on commands [myRoutines].
- - Added "cmdstats".
- - Added rootWarn checking on checks. Repeat offenders will be
- punished. Requested by larne. [update: we aren't so harsh now]
- - Added lc $chan where appropriate. damn uppercase channames.
-
-v0.11.1 (19991005):
- - all instances of undef on hash lists changed to delete which
- _now_ works. found minor bugs/typos related to DUI.
- - Now skip internic whois intro (13 lines) to fix bad output.
- - Forgot to subtract $i from $counter in chaninfo when full.
- [update: whole function changed, see above]
- - Now backup (and gzip) freshmeat index file.
-
-v0.11 (19991004): looks like a bug fix release :)
- - Fixed typo in reply of Topic.pl/&NewTopic().
- - Decreased max topic length allowed; now print it, too, for
- debugging.
- - Altered repeat code to only work on public. Flooders should be
- taken care of by the (allowOutsiders == 0) code. if not, there's
- 'lobotomy' :)
- - Added excess flood protection around &rawout();
- - Don't bother about outsiders if we haven't joined any channels.
- - Changed email address to one throughout modifications.
- New files have neato headers.
- - Uptime.pl fixed, didn't need to check against ($pid == $$)
- - Repeat-prevention code kind-of looks what it was before but this
- one, at least, works :). any problems, just bitch at me.
- - Added debugging code for chaninfo to diagnose "problem".
-
-v0.10 (19991001):
- - Added Uptime module.
- - Added Freshmeat module.
- - Dict now returns definition without suggestions (syn's) by
- default. Also cleaned up.
- - NickServ/ChanServ major clean up.
- - Join upon reconnect fix: set $joinchans = 0.
- - Fixed up Help.pl, added more help entries.
-
-v0.9b (19990925):
- - Did repeat-prevention code from scratch -- now works.
- [19991001 update]: multiplier is now 2 instead of 10.
- - Made reaction to "hello" more strict. the same should be done to
- "thanks", don't you think?
- - Converted remaining modules to use forking. should be no more
- bot lockups...
- - Changed maxhits to 20 for Search.
-
-v0.9 (19990924): +16K added to patch size.
- - More, more and more major changes.
- - Fixed up inappropriate usage of performReply.
- - Added lobotomy command to (un)silence the bot.
- - Added allowOutsiders toggle to prevent usage of the bot
- _outside_ the channels the bot is in.
- - Added $fullyaddressed, enabled if $addressed == 1 and
- $param{addressing} == REQUIRE.
- - Readded auto-continuity code. it is disable if not fully
- addressed. otherwise works as per normal.
- - Moved join-on-start-of-motd code to end-of-motd. If nickserv &&
- chanserv is enabled, IDENTIFY is done first. If okay, then we
- proceed to join channels.
- - When bot joins channel, summary of nicks (ops|voice|total) is
- given instead of NAMES list.
- - Chanserv support moved to "end of names".
- - Detection of nickserv (no such nick).
- - join channel if channel is on our joins list and if we're not on
- it (hrm, providing their client prevents it).
- - ...
-
-v0.8 (19990919): +50K patch from last version.
- - Major changes, particularly cleanups and fixed a few bugs:
- - Found 2 or so instances of $params{}. Either deleted or
- renamed to $param where appropriate.
- - Shortened foreach statements where possible.
- - Replaced duplicate code involving &say and &msg with
- &performReply($text,[0=rand,1=strict]). -- major shortcut and
- cleanup.
- - Added tracking of all users on channel(s). Users are
- deleted if they disappear for whatever reason with
- &DeleteUserInfo.
- - Tracking of channels now works; they are deleted if we disappear
- from any channel for whatever reason (hopefully).
- - 'forget' command _SHOULD_ be wrapped with $addressed.
- - Moved 'modes' from User.pl to myRoutines.pl as 'chaninfo'.
- - Added stock quote support by using mu's script. Thanks.
- - Added param{*} around stuff in myRoutines.pl for flexibility.
- - Added auto-join on invite if not on specific "join_channels"
- - Renamed &Timetostring to &Time2String and made use of it not
- only for status but for seen.
- - If $param{*} == false, it is now not defined.
- - Removed Auto-continuity code -- very evil for any bot commands
- other than non-intentionally requesting a factoid.
- - crypt command required "(" before passwd???
- - Removed stupid commands which just generate URLs for you to cut
- and paste.
- - repeatIgnoreInterval code _NOW_ works unlike before.
- - Added support for Topic.pl not to update topics if commands are
- prepended by '-'. Topics can be "rehashed" when either a) the
- next command is used without '-' or b) "rehash" is the next
- command.
- - &NewTopic takes two more args to prevent repetition and now does
- topic checking. Check code for details.
-
-v0.7 (19990914):
- - Major clean up: Search.pl now only uses the "is" dbm; final
- pair of parens in commands removed for legibility; Removed
- debugging for NickServ, ChanServ to go.
- - Added multiple subtopic delete ability. requested by Mercury.
- - Moved responses/replies to [files/infobot.lang]. Modified
- related functions to conform, including mine.
- - Fixed up Kernel.pl to use different type of sockets. Previous
- code somehow broke itself.
- - Added, but disabled, semi-working timer support. Need to ask
- lenzo some questions on how to implement it the best way.
- - Added channel (and offender's) notification if someone joins the
- channel with root. requested by #debian.
- - Added dict.org support. For now, it uses wordnet and returns a
- random definition. Could change in the future.
-
-v0.6 (19990903):
- - Added support for nickserv and chanserv, requested by is.
- - Updated README to describe new features and modifications. Do we
- need to elaborate on the modifications to the depth where it
- would exceed the size of the patch?
- - Minor clean up.
- - Removed assumed-continuity of messages -- should be used if
- addressing is in optional mode but would be bad in any situation
- if more than one infobot existed in the channel.
- - Added parsing of g flag to factoid sar.
-
-v0.5 (19990827):
- - Better way to confirm if bot is on channel now for topic
- management. Also added check for +o+t or -t. &DoModes() on
- server stuff, too?
- - Patch updated to work for infobot-0.44.2 only.
- - Found a bug in Irc.pl under "NAMES" where $u was used initially
- but trashed afterwards. => replaced $u w/ $_.
- - Lost track of a bug found by Mercury. Seems to be fixed now,
- somehow, heh.
-
-v0.4c (19990822):
- - Worked on random-cookie -- random responses can now be added
- (internally) with ease.
- - Noticed joeyh changing his nick to/from '||' which reminded me
- of something bad ;) hint: topic management.
- - One line patch to allow '|' in factoids; delimiter is now '||'.
-
-v0.4b (19990818):
- - Implemented patch from mu. Now it is possible to use the topic
- command through private messages to the bot instead of the
- channel.
- - Replaced SAR of \| with \|\| so we can still use the single
- pipes. Double pipes will be either removed or promote an error
- message. Found by Robot101. Added el-cheapo work-around if the
- last char of subtopic is |, kill it.
-
-v0.4a (19990816):
- - Added cheap fix (sleep 1, heh) to excess floods of 'topic
- history'. Is sleep 1 enough?
- - Added 'random' for random value{key} from database.
- Requested by jCommons.
-
-v0.4 (19990815):
- - Fixed topic history by replacing push with unshift. Now the
- history list is reversed and cycled properly.
- - Reversed Changes list. request by mu.
- - Totally fixed up topic history since it would break if
- 'topic add' was induced quickly. Now we only record topics set
- by us (for reasons) and onjoin topics (set by anyone).
- - Removed 'topic last/reset' because how do you know which topic
- is last? Better control with 'topic restore'.
-
-v0.3c (19990813):
- - Fixed 'topic mv 2 before 1' bug. Forgot to store 'move' topic
- before doing the foreach loop.
- - Touched up Kernel.pl in preparation for auto-notify feature.
-
-v0.3b (19990812):
- - Added version string to new files so we know which version
- of patch we're using (or used). There you go, Mercury ;)
- - Fixed up DecipherTopic to reject null subtopics. This would, if
- unchanged, (theoretically but not tried, luckily) produce a
- domino-effect of problems if the topic was to be changed.
- Update: check if the supposed null topic contains spaces
- within the nick component. If so, then it's not
- nick, therefore treat like ownerless subtopic.
- - Worked on README.
-
-v0.3a (19990810):
- - Changed back to use topic{chan} (now topicnow{chan}) since
- @topiclist{chan} (now @topichist{chan}) does not deal with dupes
- or blanks.
- - Renamed 'topic last' in preference to 'topic reset'. Original
- command can be used but is vague in meaning.
- - Fixed several typos made in Irc.pl.
- - Replaced 'defined' with 'length' in if statements.
-
-v0.3 (19990809):
- - Applied patch from mu for Irc.pl | Topic.pl.
- - Replaced %topic hash and $topiclast with @{$topiclist{chan}}.
- Much cleaner implementation. Thanks to mu for this. Fully
- implemented by xk.
- - Reworked on topicbyme (was topiclast), should work now.
-
-v0.2 (19990808):
- - Changed name of patch to funkystuph.
- - Added history/last/restore to Topic.pl by request of mu and is.
- - Reorganised help and order of commands in Topic.pl
- - Bot must be addressed to use commands.
- - Fixed bug if multiple infobots were in the channel.
- - One occurrence where Cipher was called instead of CipherTopic.
- - Fixed up Slashdot.pl. Problems: a) borked completely b) missed
- first headline. el-cheapo fix but it works.
-
-v0.1c (19990729):
- - Fixed long list{keys|values} bug, hopefully.
- - Now randomize key results from search.
- - If keys contain ',', underline to differentiate it.
- - Fixed possible DoS against Kernel.pl.
- - Bug fixed with Kernel.pl repeating itself.
- - Typo of @results [one occurrance of @result]
-
-v0.1b (19990723):
- - Fixed bug with &CipherTopic where, if no owner was found, it
- would just use NULL. [like "Topic ()"]
- - Added kernel feature.
- - Moved error messages to public/private, depending on behaviour.
- Help-related stuff is private(msg) only for convenience.
-
-v0.1a (19990721):
- - Misc cleanup, removed repeated code.
-
-v0.1 (19990720):
- - Initial release.
