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).
