-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA512 A quick note. Today was released the 4.2.2 version of the IRC bot Lambdabot. You can find it at <http://hackage.haskell.org/cgi-bin/hackage-scripts/package/lambdabot-4.2.2>, and the usual Darcs repository <http://code.haskell.org/lambdabot>.
What is interesting about this release? * Less buggy. A few UTF-related bugs were fixed, some formatting bugs, etc. * Updated state (ever more @quote goodness) * New feature: Lambdabot can now be run in arbitrary directories like ~/. Before, one *had* to run in the darcs-gotten directory - Lambdabot had all sorts of hardwired constants like "./State/quotes" in it. Now the situation is such: Lambdabot first looks for a ./State/ and so on; if it finds a populated State/, it will read and write those files just like an old Lambdabot would. However, if State/ is not there, then Lambdabot will look for ~/.lambdabot/, and use the State/ hierarchy inside it, just as normal. Should there be neither a local directory, nor a ~/ directory, then Lambdabot will ask Cabal where all its State files were stuffed (presumably in /usr/share or wherever), and copy them to ~/.lambdabot, and try the sequence again. The upshot is that now you can be in ~/ or ~/bin/xmonad or anywhere, and type 'lambdabot' for a quick session. * No more dependency on BotPP and crazy pre-build processing, thanks to some Template Haskell contributed by sjanssen * those changes included in this classification * innumerable ones; * those drawn with a very fine camel's-hair brush; * etcetera * just broken the flower vase; * those that at a distance resemble flies - -- gwern -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) Comment: http://getfiregpg.org iEYEAREKAAYFAkkCfX4ACgkQvpDo5Pfl1oK/kQCeJAqdv4yNerXrhBQKaHjQlXWJ F4QAoJztlzLTFwHkFR5eRcrkFFmTcMe+ =lELz -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
