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).
See http://gozerbot.org on how to install gozerbot 0.9
