GOZERBOT 0.9 RELEASED

Finally gozerbot 0.9 has been released.  This is a huge step forward to version 1.0 and contains a number of changes:

  • use json as the format to save data in instead of pickles
  • let config files also use json, this makes them more readable and human editable
  • remove popen usage from the bot core
  • remove execfile() calls from the bot core
  • rewrite the gozerbot package into several subpackages
  • use sqlaclhemy to provide database backend (sqlite3 is default)
  • require python2.5
  • move most of the plugins into their own package
  • restructure the gozerdata layout so its more readable

All these changes makes upgrading from older versions of gozerbot necessary so a gozerbot-upgrade program is provided (upgrading from 0.7 is not supported yet, will follow soon).
