I’ve made a few changes to firebot, the IRC bot that gives bugzilla bug information for Devs/QA/users in #firefox and #thunderbird tonight.
* Added kick handling, auto-rejoins channel when kicked.
* Added invite handling, bot can join a channel when invited.
* Added ping to test if hte bot is alive. just say firebot: ping
* Added per-channel op lists. in addition to the global list, so
* cleaned up a few hacks I threw into an otherwise clean codebase, restoring channel op speed to original.
* Attempt #2 to fix the ping-out and never reconnect bug.
Still to do, is to fix the milestone status reports to be cross-product and available in a /msg instead of in channel, then they can be enabled again.
