Welcome on the GOZERBOT homepage

gozerbot is the Python IRC bot and Jabber bot in one

Try our new 0.8.2-BETA release now

new features:

• most plugins removed from core .. this keeps the base of the bot as small as possible
• missing plugins can be installed via internet or via tarball
• rewritten core .. callbacks and commands when not threaded are not executed in the main loop anymore but instead in what are called "runners", threads that do the jobs. this limits the threads that are launched
• new debug mode that enables more verbose logging (stacktrace)
• a REST server and client have been added to the core .. the cloud plugin uses these to communicate between bots. data is transfered in json format
• new plugins are added to the plugin collection
• powernick (core) .. a plugin to relay the log file to an OPER via DCC CHAT
• throttle (core) .. throttle users to max number of commands per minute
• cloud (myplugs) .. connect gozerbots together
• traclog (myplugs) .. log channel in a format suitable for integration with trac
• register (myplugs) .. enables users to register themselves with the bot
• anon (myplugs) .. register users on channel join
• config changes are now written to the config file instead of a pickle
