OcIrcBridge - Build 029
This is a relatively major update with a number of new features:
- The numeric member ID of the Composr bot is now configurable.
- Messages from IRC to Composr now have a username prefix (Composr to IRC messages already had a prefix.)
- Connections to IRC now use SSL/TLS.
- The IRC port is now configurable.
- The IRC bot now automatically reconnects if the connection is lost (i.e. the IRC server is restarted.)
mysql-connector-java
has been updated, addressing a minor security vulnerability.
These improvements are not only useful for NOTS, but make the bot more suitable for usage outside of NOTS as well.
Usage
Download the .jar file and the skeleton config. Fill out the skeleton config. (See the README for the background requirements.) Run in Java with the following command:
java -jar ./OcIrcBridge-029.jar ./OcIrcBridge-properties-029.config
...where "./OcIrcBridge029.jar" is the path to the JAR file and "./OcIrcBridge-properties-029.config" is the path to the config file.
