Hi,
I've just release version 2.1 of the Program# (AIMLbot) the .NET
implementation. Documentation has also been updated.
Changes in this release:
1. The bot used to get the wild-card matches mixed up if processing more
than one sentence. This is now fixed with the appropriate unit tests
written and the example applications updated. A new class "SubRequest"
now encapsulates a query to the Graphmaster and holds the wild-card
matches.
2. The normalization process for applying changes is now fixed so it
doesn't always return uppercase. The case of the normalized result
should match that of the user's raw input plus any replacements. This
means <star/> tags return exactly what the user inputted, rather than a
capitalized version of it.
3. There is the potential that the bot could get into an infinite loop
when processing the template tag, especially if it encountered a srai
tag that ultimately led back to itself. This hole has now been plugged
in two ways:
a) Each time an AIML tag is processed the request is checked to make
sure it hasn't timed out.
b) When the srai class calls a sub-request with the new path the new
request object has the same StartedOn value as the original request.
4. Made changes to the way the path for queries to the Graphmaster are
dealt with. It is now "backwards": (topic <topic> that <that> User input).
5. Added some new tests and code for stopping a bot from accepting user
input (something that should happen should it be changing the
graphmaster for example). Updated other projects to reflect these
changes too.
6. Changed the behaviour of the default constructor in the "Bot" class.
Removed the loading of config files from the constructor so you now have
to call the loadSettings() method to load the configuration files.
7. Included a very simple Web-services based example application.
As always, comments and suggestions are welcome.
Best wishes,
Nicholas
