python-jabberbot

This release is a bugfix release. Among other changes, it includes various fixes to the code and clean-ups that should make it easier in the future for contributors to submit patches against the current code-base.

This release adds support for optionally receiving one's own messages in the JabberBot. This is helpful when trying to build a federated multicast JabberBot network.

This release adds support for private subscription domains. A JabberBot can now listen only to subscriptions from its own domain or from a specific target domain, ignoring all other domains. The default behavior is still the same as in previous versions (no restrictions in subscriptions).

Several bugs in the examples and in the main module have been fixed. Support for Jabber Multi-User-Chats (MUCs) has been added, with an accompanying example.

Support for XMPP TUNE (a status message about the currently playing song) and XHTML messages has been added. Command names can now be overridden with a special parameter to the botcmd decorator. The default response in the command handler can now be suppressed. If the bot joins a multi-user chat (MUC), its username can be overridden to avoid having the Jabber ID used as username.
