CWBot

CWBot is an IRC bot to provide online services in Morse usable with the CWirc client. It can broadcast world news in Morse and Hellschreiber, RAC ham news, act as a MorseMail to CWirc repeater, be a CW tutor, or send fortune cookies in Morse, over an IRC channel or through DCC chat, with adjustable keying speed and Farnsworth spacing. It is easily extendable with scripts or external programs to provide additional services in Morse.

Release Notes: The IRC server receive buffer is now emptied when reconnecting, and the buffer is processed if it ever becomes full. This removes a bug that occasionally prevented cwbot from reconnecting after being kicked out of a busy channel.

  •  21 Jan 2007 00:00

Release Notes: The parser in the news broadcast scripts has been corrected to process the BBC's XML newsfeed properly.

  •  18 Apr 2005 14:27

Release Notes: The URL for the RSS news source, which changed unexpectedly and broke the news scripts, has been fixed.

  •  01 Jul 2004 19:53

Release Notes: Some signals watched by the cwbot process were dropped, as they weren't portable, and also could make cwbot die if it was run in an xterm and the xterm was resized. Some includes and the Makefile were slightly modified to allow cwbot to compile under FreeBSD.

  •  15 Jun 2004 20:44

Release Notes: A bug that would let internal messages from a channel chat engine to the bot core slip through and appear in the IRC channel from time to time was corrected.
