EnvsBot at its first stable version

Today I released the version v1.0.0 and therefore the first stable version of the EnvsBot, the XMPP bot of the envs pubnix/tilde XMPP server. It should work now correctly, if configured the right way.

Probably feature complete

All features planned for this bot are now implemented and there are no breaking bugs anymore, so I think it was time to release its first major release after 3 BETA versions.

There shouldn't be any problems if it's correctly configured, especially the config.json file, which needs to be correct. There is an example "config_sample.json" file, which you can copy to "config.json" and insert your configuration there (same for "vcard_sample.py"). If the vCard in the "vcard.py" file isn't correct, the bot will still start up, but maybe not set the vCard for the bot.

Detailed installation instructions are in the repository's README.md, which you should read.

IdleRPG still planned

An IdleRPG is still planned for some future version of the bot for entertainment of the users. This will still take it's time to implement and maybe I need to reduce the featureset, maybe even down to the original IRC IdleRPG, but it will definitely come. I always wanted to implement some kind of IdleRPG for XMPP, so it's a logical step to make one as a plugin.

Ready to use

So the EnvsBot is ready for you to use. There may come some additional plugins in future, but we think its probably feature complete. If you have a good idea for a plugin, or find a bug, you can use the Envs Git issue tracker or the Github issue tracker to post about any found bugs or ideas for additional plugins.

That's it, best wishes,
