Basically, whitespace will be stripped - down to readable levels, unless the xml:space attribute is used to - indicate otherwise. - - Fixed bug in PatternMgr where the character '1' was mistaken identified - as punctuation to be stripped, instead of the intended '!'. - -version 0.8.4: - - Fixed bug in AimlParser creation, if the aiml module was not in the same - directory as the script that imported it. - - Improved Unicode support (again) (thanks to Daniel Kottow for his help). - - 2nd pass at documentation. All functions now have useful, properly-formatted - docstrings. - -version 0.8.3: - - Reworked the way AimlParser objects are created, to allow support for - XML namespaces in a future version. - - First pass at Unicode-proofing the whole system, so that multi-lingual - AIML files can be processed. - - Added support for "index" attribute in "star", "thatstar" and "topicstar" - elements (thanks to Robert D. Cotey for the patch!). Also added type-check - to ensure that the value of the "index" attribute is an integer. - -version 0.8.2: - - Added protection against infinite AIML recursion. - - Removed the deprecated Kernel.getBotName and Kernel.setBotName functions. - - Added workaround for Unicode input crash. Feeding the Kernel Unicode - input no longer crashes the interpreter, but some internal input-formatting - operations must be skipped, which could cause some nonsensical replies - (like you're not already used to nonsensical replies, though...) - -version 0.8.1: - - "system" elements now attempt to intelligently convert between UNIX-style - and Windows-style pathnames as appropriate. For cross-platform compatibility, - all AIML files should use UNIX-style paths inside their "system" elements. - - Fixed crashes under Windows9X when a "system" element is executed when - w9xpopen.exe is unavailable. - - Re-piped most errors and warnings to go to stderr instead of stdout. - - Fixed bug that would cause the the bot to stop responding to any input in a session - if the "that" or "topic" strings were 100% whitespace (but still not empty). - - Fixed bug that would cause multi-line "that" strings to become corrupted. For - example, "Hello there.\nNice to meet you" would become "HELLO THERENICE TO MEET - YOU" when queried for that-matching. - -version 0.8: - - Removed support for non-standard "mode" attribute in "system" elements. - It just wasn't worth breaking the AIML standard for. - - Reworked persistent session support (I warned you!). The old method involving - Kernel.persistentSessions() has been removed. Instead, there is a new - Kernel.getSessionData() method which gives the bot author access to the session - data. You can store this data however you wish. Session data can be restored - later by repeated calls to Kernel.setPredicate(). - - Improved AIML parser error handling; instead of aborting the entire file, a - parse error now only ignores the current category and forges ahead. To check for - parse errors, check the return value of AimlParser.getNumErrors() after parsing. - -version 0.7: - - Further improved AIML parsing; missing or invalid XML attributes are now - detected at parse-time. There's also a first stab at support for Forward - Compatibility Mode: if the "version" attribute of an AIML tag is not 1.0.1, - the parser is much more forgiving of unknown or missing XML tags and attributes. - - Added "support" for the 'gossip' tag. The specific behavior of this tag is - totally undefined; currently, the PyAIML implementation treats it as a big - no-op. Its contents are ignored, and it returns the empty string (but at least - it isn't flagged as a syntax error!) - - Oops; I've implemented 'person' as 'person2' and vice versa this whole time! - Swapped them back; they should each behave correctly now. - - A bit of code cleanup, with an emphasis on using proper XML/AIML terminology - whenever possible. - - Fixed some exception-masking in the 'condition' element processor, which could - prevent AIML parse errors from being reported. - - Added full support for the "bot" tag (previously only the 'bot name="name"' - form was supported). Bot predicates are set using the Kernel.setBotPredicate() - function. Note that Kernel.getBotName() and Kernel.setBotName() have been - deprecated, and will disappear in a future release. - -version 0.6.1: - - Fixed undefined variable exception that was thrown whenever there was no - match for the user's input. - - Fixed an infinite recursion bug caused by processing two or more nested - 'srai' or 'sr' elements. - -version 0.6 - - Completely rewrote the LearnHandler class (which handles all AIML parsing) - to be much less forgiving of incorrect AIML. Currently, any AIML errors - outside of "template" elements should be caught and reported at load-time. - AIML errors inside templates are still not detected until run-time. - - Added support for atomic 'person' and 'person2' tags (they implicitly use - 'star' as their contents if none are provided). - - Oops; Kernel.respond() was DEFINITELY not thread-safe. Now it is, provided - you're using Python's standard 'threading' module. If not, you'll have to - provide your own mutual-exclusion system to ensure that only one thread - is calling Kernel.respond() at a time. - - Recursive tags ('srai' and 'sr') no longer add their intermediate results - to the input and output history. - - EXPERIMENTAL FEATURE: persistent sessions. If enabled using - Kernel.persistentSessions(True), session data will be written to disk - after every response. This lets session data be preserved when the - Kernel is destroyed, at the expense of a small performance hit (all - that extra disk I/O). The semantics of this feature may change in future - releases! - - Added support for the "id" tag (it returns the session ID). - - Added support for the "topic", "topicstar" and "thatstar" tags. - - Commented up the test.py file. - - Added a summary to the end of the Kernel.py self-test (since there are now - too many tests to fit on screen). - - Added support for multi-sentence input. The user's input is split into - individual sentences, each of which is treated as a completely separate - piece of input. I'm *pretty* sure this is the Right Way(tm). - -version 0.5 - - The filename inside Learn tags can now contain wildcards. Besides - simplifying the loading of multiple files, this allows the possibility - of loading AIML files that may not exist without crashing the - interpreter. - - Attempting to set the value of a predicate in a nonexistent session - now automatically creates the session, instead of silently doing nothing. - - "set" tags now output the new value of the variable, as well as assigning - it. - -version 0.4.1 - - Unknown AIML tags are handled in a more forgiving fashion. If an - unknown tag is encountered, instead of ignoring its contents entirely, - the contents are processed and returned unaltered. - - Added support for "bot name='name'" tags, both in patterns and in - templates. This also fixes a nasty infinite loop crash when a user - says Hello to a bot. - -version 0.4 - - Added support for "star" and "sr" tags. - - Considered adding support for the "secure" tag, but decided against it. - see SUPPORTED_TAGS.txt for more information. - -version 0.3 - - Cleaned up AIML processing code to remove some unnecessary - special-cases in the interpretation algorithm. - - Added support for "input" and "that" tags. - -version 0.2 - - 50% speedup in Kernel.loadBrain() and Kernel.saveBrain(). - - The optional 'learnFiles' and 'commands' arguments to - Kernel.bootstrap() can now be either strings or lists. This - allows multiple files/commands to be loaded during - initialization. - - Added support for "person" and "person2" tags. - - Added general word-substitution functionality. This opens up - the potential for localizing PyAIML into non-English languages. - See DefaultSubs.py for more info. - -version 0.1: - - Initial release.
