Bobot++ project is the C++ version of the IRC bot bobot written by Etienne Bernard and Bartman.

Here are some key features of "bobot plusplus":
No backdoor: there are no backdoors in the bobot++. You are free to believe me or not, but unlike many other bots, this one has no backdoor (you can always read the source). Note that there is an hidden command, but this command is not designed to take control of the bot
Multichannel: A bobot++ can join as many channels as you want
Flood control: It will ignore people flooding it
Output rate control and priority handling: The bobot++ will send its commands to the server at the highest possible rate (ie as fast as possible without making an ``excess flood''). The most important commands (MODE's, etc.) are sent first
Time dependant commands: you can ban people for a fixed amount of time. This is really useful in order not to fill the banlist
Complex online help system: each user can have the list of the commands he can execute. Each command has its description in the help system
Four user levels (user, trusted user, friend and master), three different protections (no kick, no ban and no deop) and possible auto-op. Note that trusted user is created to permit the use of wildcards on dangerous commands such as kick, or ban
Support for combined join and channel op of 2.9 servers on IRCNet (this feature will be suppressed from the servers, but it may remain useful...)
Logging of commands and events
``Intelligent'' ban and deban
Password protection on accounts, expiration dates on user accounts
Anti-spoof: one can not acquire operator priviledges spoofing the bot
Optional support of scripts written in Scheme (using guile)

What's New in This Release:
No longer segfaults when loading bobot-utils.scm
bot:match-to-me produces a valid regexp again
scripts/uname now properly uses (ice-9 rdelim) instead of redelim
bot:load now loads files properly
