+
+This is a record of all changes made to zomg since the original release.
+I find it interesting to view my own development patterns, you might as well.
+
+This file will be included with the subversion repository as well.
+
+== Version 0.8.2 – August 11th 2010 ==
+
+ * Added !weather
+    * Added GeoIP support to !weather
+ * Added !locate
+ * Added .addword
+ * Added .delword
+ * Added .loadwords
+ * Added several new custom commands to demo new functionality
+    * For example, !8ball and !fight
+ * Bot now leaves 'empty' channels and waits for a notice from ChanServ that a person has joined before coming back.
+    * A channel containing only the bot and ChanServ is considered 'empty'
+ * Using !alias and .alias will now allow you to put*!*@ in front of a hostmask, just for convenience.
+ * Converted documentation to Wiki format and moved to new location
+ * Extended the functionality of Custom Commands considerably
+   * Added $pick[arg1,arg2,arg3,...,argN] (Does not support spaces in the args yet)
+   * Changed $rint to $rand
+   * Added $rand[min,max] (Integer values only)
+   * Added $uc[text] and $lc[text] (Do not support spaces yet)
+ * Extended the functionality of Custom Variables considerably
+   * Variables can now be added on the fly by an oper with the addword command
+   * All [ ] variables are fully nestable, including with existing optional args that have defaults enclosed in [ ]
+   * Variables can be enclosed in { } if ambiguous. For example,
+     * $balls will look for a word category "balls"
+     * ${ball}s will look for a word category "ball" and add the "s" to the end of whatever $ball it chooses.
+ * Optimized startup time
+ * Fixed bug where bot would not respond to custom commands if addressed by name
+ * Fixed several command parsing bugs
+ * Restored !wotd hint option for regular users
+ * Moved zomg's code into a subversion repository
+   * Made svn repository publicly accessible
+   * svn co svn://vsterminus.homelinux.org/zomg
+ * Secured code to load sensitive data from elsewhere
+
+== Version 0.8.1 – December 2nd 2009 ==
+
+ * Moved help page to static.socialgamer.net
+    * Updated help command to reflect this
+ * Updated help page formatting and style
+ * Bot no longer auto-rejoins when kicked by ChanServ
+ * Fixed !stfu length when a time was not specified
+ * !nowplaying now uses the Last.FM API instead of screen scraping
+    * Smaller output (1 line instead of 3)
+    * API doesn't give me the player information (yet). Sorry.
+ * Added more functionality to !lastfm
+    * You can now customize your !nowplaying output
+    * Syntax is different now, please read the entry for it
+ * !alias now accepts and removes*!*@ prefix on hostnames.
+
+== Version 0.8.0 – October 28th 2009 ==
+
+ * Big update, long time
+    * With school, working on the new SocialGamer beta site, and other commitments it can be hard to find time to develop zomg further
+ * Changed the database serialization (storage) system
+    * Previously used the XML::Dumper perl module to convert all of my hash tables, important variables and other data into a convenient XML file that could be read on startup to restore information.
+       * XML::Dumper is Extremeley inefficient, and was causing me to use several hundred MB of RAM at run time! o_O
+    * Switched to YAML::XS (A perl module written in C) I can serialize the database into a single human-readable string of data and store that in a file
+    * RAM usage is now 1/10th of what it was previously
+       * I can still reduce this further with optimizations to save/load and cleaning old/invalid/unnecessary data in other areas.
+ * Added !fml
+    * May add an option to select a specific entry or grab the latest entry if there is interest
+ * Added !wtf
+    * Uses the system `wtf` command, which contains definitions for common acronyms (Like 'LOL' and 'wtf') as well as man page entries for most apps
+    * The wtf database is not really that extensive, and a response of 'Nothing Appropriate' means 'I don't know'
+ * Modified the now playing (!mp3) command to use Last.FM
+    * Renamed the !mp3 command to !nowplaying
+    * Added a hard-coded alias, !mp3 which redirects to the new command. Usage doesn't change.
+    * Command spans 1-3 lines of output, and so can only be used every 20 or so seconds to reduce spam.
+ * Added !lastfm <last.fm-account> | none
+ * Fixed a couple regex matches (Thanks Thierry for breaking it and Grinnz for solving it)
+ * Added !drums
+    * Wrote a search function into this command, so if you can't spell it will try to help.
+ * Added the ability to use the $ variables from custom commands in all commands (With the exception of $1,2,3 etc because that's just silly)
+ * Added some new variables for use (They work in any command, not just customs!)
+    * $noun, $verb, $pronoun, $adverb, $preposition, $adjective, $clothing
+ * Fixed default parameter parsing
+ * Added new words to the word of the day file
+
+
+== Version 0.7.4 – September 1st 2009 ==
+
+ * Added uptime to restart message
+ * Added a 10 second ban to channel protections by default
+    * Breaks sf ban currently, will be removing that.
+ * Added <nick>++ or <nick>-- triggers for awarding wins to users
+ * Added <nick>+=, -=,*= and /= as well
+    * eg. toymachine++ is equivalent to .award toymachine 1
+    * and toymachine+=5 is equivalent to .award toymachine 5
+ * A word of the day system to award users with wins
+    * The word is selected at random, but can be set by an oper
+    * When the word is guessed, a new word is chosen (At random)
+    * A word un-guessed for 24 hours will expire next time anyone uses !wordoftheday
+       * Might update this to use a timer system in the future
+ * Tripping the spamfilter also removes 1 win now.
+ * Commands via PM can now be done without a trigger
+    * eg. /msg zomg time
+ * Custom Commands now support required parameters
+    * Variables defined with $ are optional, where as variables defined with & will be required. If a required parameter is left undefined, the command will error and ask for more input.
+ * !listcmd now displays the access level required to use the command
+ * Fixed glitch in !wins when looking up offline users
+ * Added !slogan
+ * Added $rword, $rnick, and $rint variables to custom commands
+ * Added defaults-system to optional args in custom commands
+ * Added !bantime to allow channel admins to adjust the default ban length in their channel
+ * Fixed arg swapping in custom commands
+ * Fixed .enable to support command aliases
+ * Made the word of the day game configurable per channel
+    * By default, disabled. Can be enabled with !wordoftheday on
+ * Removed the word-of-the-day hint, too spammy
+ * Time input for bans, kickbans and stfu now support a more human-readable format (ex, 5h15m10s)
+ * Bot no longer freaks out if words.txt doesn't exist
+ * Database is now loaded before connecting to the server
+    * The DB is getting so big that it was causing the bot to time out and lose connection
+    * Considering splitting this file up into a few smaller files, or maybe truncating data
+
+
+
+== Version 0.7.3 – July 29th 2009 ==
+
+ * Fixed bug in timed kickbans using regex matches
+ * Fixed !uptime's parsing of CPU uptime when there is only 1 user
+ * !mass now supports custom commands
+ * Re-wrote the todo list to use a hash instead of an array
+    * Index values will be unique to each item added. They will continue to increase, instead of the list squishing down when something is removed.
+ * Added greet type 'public' to greet users publicly in the channel
+ * oper .alias <user> will send via PM if more than 15 results are found in a lookup
+ * Fixed bot's own nick recognition if the server changes its name
+ * added !top3 wins
+ * Improved sorting code in !top3
+ * Added !top3 peaks
+ * Reduced resolution of time tracking since peak was set
+ * Added !top3 customs
+ * Added 'who is banned' (Thanks SoccerThierry)
+
+
+== Version 0.7.2 – July 15th 2009 ==
+
+ * Added !uptime
+ * User definitions are now displayed with !whois as well
+ * Variables in custom commands that are left undefined will be hidden from output
+ * Added $server, $unixtime and $localtime to the custom command variable list
+ * Fixed a bug when adding custom commands using a command alias
+ * “Who/What is defined” now sends via PM
+ * !alias shows the user's hostmask as well
+ * Fixed custom commands with 'Service' access level
+ * Fixed !cmdlist when applied to a global custom command
+ * Prevented saving during DB loading, hopefully to stop accidental DB corruption
+ * Modified the error message when a user tries to kick an admin to include the username
+ * Added !time global custom command (Access required: None)
+ * Added 'who banned <user>' to go along with 'who kicked <user>'
+ * Modified the way 'who kicked <user>' is stored and displayed
+ * Better tracking of the $server variable
+ * Added .restart for opers
+
+
+
+== Version 0.7.1 – May 11th 2009 ==
+
+ * Started tracking how many messages each user sends (April 30)
+    * Used for top3 command

+
+== Version 0.7.0 – April 29th 2009 ==
+
+ * Added Custom Commands!
+    * Big help file entry for these.....
+    * In any channel, Voiced users can use !cclist to view existing custom commands in that channel
+    * Voiced users can also use !ccinfo <custom-command> to see info on any existing custom command
+ * Added Global Custom Commands
+    * Same as regular custom commands, but apply to all channels
+    * It is possible, using customs and global customs, to give regular users access to oper-only commands, or certain parts (eg pre-defined args) of an oper-only command.
+    * In any channel, voiced users can use !gclist to see all existing global customs
+    * voiced users can also use !gcinfo <global-custom> to see info on a global custom command.
+ * Added !greet
+ * !cmdlist now supports custom commands as well
+    * This obsoletes the global !ccinfo custom command, which I will be removing
+ * Nickfilter now ignores self

+ * Added protection to !stfu to stop it from accepting empty args
+ * Upgraded the multi-command parsing to be more intuitive

+
+
+== Version 0.6.2 – February 11th 2009 ==

+== Version 0.6.0 – February 10th 2009 (Initial Release) ==
+
+ * Why start at 0.6.0?
+    *For those who remember the original zomg project, it was written in mIRC script and as it grew it became increasingly troublesome to work with.
+    * It was at version 0.5.x when I dropped it and moved to zomg in Perl, so I just bumped the version up to 0.6.0 and kept going.
