PyLink 0.6.0-dev

Notable changes in this release:

• New "opercmds" plugin:
  • This merges some functionality from the bots plugin, but also adds new commands such as jupe, kill, topic, and checkban.
• New "changehost" plugin - Automated configurable vHost setting on connect.
• Some core changes will break protocol modules and plugins written for older PyLink versions:
  • Some functions have been renamed:
    • utils.nickToUid(irc, nick) -> irc.nickToUid(nick)
    • utils.isInternalClient(irc, uid) -> irc.isInternalClient(uid)
    • utils.isInternalServer(irc, uid) -> irc.isInternalServer(uid)
    • utils.clientToServer(irc, uid) -> utils.getServer(uid)
    • utils.getProtoModule(...) -> utils.getProtocolModule(...)
  • Protocol specification is rewritten, with "Client" and "Server" dropped from the suffix of most outgoing commands: see acdd7db...2fd0a8a.
• exec plugin: add inject and raw commands (4e7396b).
• exec plugin: support newline (and other) escapes in exec (375dbe8).
• protocols: allow changing remote users' hosts in updateClient (741fed9).
• Speed up and clean up shutdown sequence, fixing hangs due to sockets not shutting down cleanly (#152).
• protocols/unreal: Support cloaking with user mode +x (#136).
• Various bug fixes - see 0.5-dev...0.6.0-dev for a full diff.
