v0.8.0

[0.8.0] 2017-10-01

Added

• Commands can now be marked as needing approval by someone in a designated group.
  Commands that require approval will be put into a pending state with an expiration time set via the bot configuration.
  These pending commands can be approved by the calling user (if calling user is already in designed approval group) or require peer approval by another user.
  Pending commands can either be approved or denied by a user in the approver group(s). Who approved (or denied) a command is logged.
• Added builtin commands [approve], [deny], and [pending] to managed commands that require approval.
• Added new message reactions to reflect pending / approved, or denied command status.
• For convenience, added the name of the user [FromName] and name of the channel [ToName] to the [$global:PoshBotContext] object that is available to all bot commands.

Fixed

• Ignore ephemeral messages from Slack that come from SlackBot. We don't want to attempt to trigger commands based on these.
• Config provided parameters can now be used on commands of type [regex].
• Do not send command reactions to event-triggered commands as there is not a normal message to add the reaction to.

Changes

• Modules are now removed from the PowerShell session when removed from PoshBot.
• Add warning reaction to commands that have any items in the warning stream of the job.

• Command execution history is now logged by default to a separate log file [CommandHistory.log].
  Command history log settings can be controlled with configuration properties [LogCommandHistory], [CommandHistoryMaxLogSizeMB], and [CommandHistoryMaxLogsToKeep].

• New command Get-CommandStatus to show running commands.

Fixed

• Better error handling logic when parsing command help.

• Fixed regression when using the [PoshBot.BotFrom()] custom attribute with an empty parameter.
• PR46 - Adjust help filter in Get-CommandHelp command to match exact first and display results if exactly one command was matched.
  Continue with existing behavior if more than one command is returned. (via @RamblingCookieMonster)

[0.5.0] 2017-06-14

Added

• Support for one time scheduled commands. Commands can now be scheduled to execute once after the specified start date/time.
• Improved the help usage text for commands.
• The [!help] command now matches against command aliases as well.

Fixed

• Help syntax now reflects the command name (as known in PoshBot) instead of PowerShell function name.

Changed

• Command usage help is now displayed differently according to the command's trigger type.
  For [Command] trigger types, the command/function's parameters are show, for [Regex] trigger
  types, the trigger regex expression is shown.
