Changelog

See [GitHub releases](https://github.com/jenkinsci/ircbot-plugin/releases) for all newer versions.

Version 2.44 (2022-07-21)

Version 2.43 (2022-04-16)

  • Update to new major version of PircBotX 2.1

  • Align Guava usage with current Jenkins ecosystem

  • Some more recipe updates for dependency versions

Version 2.42 (2021-11-22)

Version 2.41 (2021-10-03)

  • Some more recipe updates for dependency versions

  • Decoupling from Jenkins-core Guava version (PR #52, thanks @basil)

Version 2.40 (2021-09-28)

  • Some more recipe updates, dependency versions and cosmetic fixes

Version 2.39 (2021-09-08)

  • Some more recipe updates, dependency versions and cosmetic fixes

Version 2.38 (2021-09-08)

  • Updated build recipes to include dependabot and to keep the pom.xml style common with some other plugins to simplify cross-pollination

  • Bumped several dependency versions

  • Rectified parts of codebase to match the new quality constraints

Version 2.36 (2020-12-12)

  • Revised solution for job configuration UI broken after Jenkins core 2.264 (dropped HTML tables)

  • Modernized saving and processing of job and global configurations

    • https://jenkins.io/security/advisory/2019-04-03/#SECURITY-829 should now be fixed

    • Plain-text passwords were optionally "scrambled" for some years now, but in this release the changes done by @timja make use of standard secretPassword fields. To update the on-disk representation of your IRC user and channel passwords, it should suffice to open and save your Jenkins global configuration after upgrading the plugin.

    • Note that some field names would be updated in the configuration file $JENKINS_HOME/hudson.plugins.ircbot.IrcPublisher.xml after this upgrade.

  • Changed default IRC nickname for new deployments of the bot to jenkins (from jenkins-bot) be in limits set by RFC 2812 (9 chars), and added notes to the nickname editing fields in the UI (global config of the server as a client to IRC; individual users' configs to link their IRC accounts to Jenkins account)

Version 2.34 and 2.35 (2020-12-05)

  • First-shot solution for job configuration UI broken after Jenkins core 2.264 (dropped HTML tables)

  • Refresh plugin recipe

  • Further docs migration into Git

Version 2.32 and 2.33 (2020-04-23)

  • Fixed use of default targets from global config

  • Ported documentation from old Wiki to in-codebase README

Version 2.31 (2019-08-09)

  • Added a Jenkinsfile to CI-test the plugin itself: #19

  • Non-functional whitespace, javadoc and style fixes in the codebase for better maintainability: #20

  • Added pipeline support to match capabilities of instant-messaging-plugin release 1.36 (not fully published) and 1.37: #21 and then 1.38: #23

    • So now there is an ircNotify() step with numerous supported options (or default activity if none are passed) for Jenkinsfile scripts!

  • Added a customMessage option to instantly post the specified message to specified IM target(s) as the payload of a step (not tied into notification strategies for build start/completion): part of #21

  • Note that currently there is special syntax for build-start notifications from a pipeline step (e.g. ircNotify notifyOnStart:true) which is intended as a temporary solution to the problem of not having support for an IM-specific options{…​} setting in pipelines yet, and so reporting "NOT BUILT" (via completion-notification mode) if there was no verdict yet

Version 2.30 (2017-08-25)

  • A rapid series of releases (2.28, 2.29, 2.30) led up to addition of SASL in PircBotX, and some warnings fixes

Version 2.27 (2016-03-03)

  • Bump of PircBotX and other dependencies versions

Version 2.26 (2015-02-19)

  • don’t make concurrent builds wait for the previous build (with instant-messaging-plugin 1.33) JENKINS-26892

  • make delay between messages configurable via system property "hudson.plugins.ircbot.messageRate"

  • try to connect to NickServ protected up to 2 minutes in case NickServ is reacting very slowly

Version 2.22 (Mar 1, 2013)

Version 2.21 (Dec 15, 2012)

  • new option to colorize build notifications based on the build outcome.

Version 2.20 (Oct 13, 2012)

  • fixed a bug when updating from previous versions on Windows

Version 2.15

Version 2.14

  • Support SSL connections (JENKINS-3543) 

    • Attention: as the underlying IRC library had to be replaced to achieve this, it’s not completely unlikely that you could experience some regressions. Please open a new issue in that case.

Version 2.13

Version 2.12

Version 2.11

  • see instant-messaging plugin 1.14 for changes!

  • fixed: NullPointerException because of incorrect migration of old configurations. JENKINS-8001

  • new feature: new chat notifier which prints the failing tests, too JENKINS-7035

Version 2.7

  • improvement: bot commands are now extensible and open for other plugins (see class BotCommand).

  • improvement: added an extension point to customize the message the bot sends to chats for notification (see class BuildToChatNotifier).

  • improvement: bot may be invited to channels (issue 6600 )

Version 2.6

  • fixed: disconnects (and no reconnects) when changing the global config (issue #6933)

  • improved behaviour when plugin is disabled. I.e. doesn’t log unnecessary stuff.

  • fixed: plugins configure option not visible JENKINS-5978 JENKINS-5233

  • use UTF-8 as encoding for sending/receiving messages (previously used default encoding of the Hudson server)

Version 2.5

  • fixed: notify upstream commiter would have notified committers of 'old' builds (JENKINS-6712)

  • improvement: print useful project names for matrix jobs (JENKINS-6560 )

  • fixed: don’t delay Hudson startup (JENKINS-4346 )

  • feature: userstat command for bot (JENKINS-6147 )

Version 2.4

  • fixed: bot output sometimes send to wrong user (JENKINS-6484)

Version 2.2

  • support password-protected chatrooms

Version 2.1

  • new option to inform upstream committers (JENKINS-4629 )

  • Bot uses /msg command to inform channels/users instead of /notice as before. You can restore the old behaviour in the global configuration. (JENKINS-5087 )

Version 2.0

  • This is the first version which is build upon the instant-messaging plugin. Make sure that instant-messaging 1.3 is installed.

  • This version needs Hudson 1.319 or newer

  • Though much care has been taken to migrate settings from previous versions, because of the amount of the changes it cannot be guaranteed that all old settings are migrated correctly!

  • This version supports all options that the Jabber plugin supports. See there for more info.

  • Command responses are no longer send as private messages to the user. Instead they are send to the channel. If you want private messages then send the command as a private message to the bot.
