Updated wxOracle bot in IRC with 2.9 Docs

Post by tierra »

This was a long overdue project, but better late than never, right?

Our wxOracle IRC bot was becoming increasingly stagnant only providing minimal docs for wxWidgets 2.6, mostly because of the hurdles involved with updating the plugin with updated docs from the LaTeX sources. I started a project to resolve this problem a year ago when we finally managed a successful migration of the documentation to Doxygen. Having finally found the free to time to work on it again in the last week, I finished that project today.

The wxOracle bot now pulls up-to-date documentation directly from wxWidgets 2.9+ (SVN trunk for now until we release 3.0), and has been updated to a much more recent release of Supybot. For a basic tutorial on how to use this new functionality, please see this page in the wxWiki:
http://wiki.wxwidgets.org/How_To_Get_He ... _Bot_Usage

For those of you now wondering how you can get your own bot pulling your project's Doxygen API documentation, I've also made the plugin available for download online here:
