funbot 0.5 -- 2016-01-27
========================

General, build and documentation changes:

* Move the code from `String` everywhere into strict `Text`, often wrapped in
  dedicated semantic `newtype`s for more type safety (since so many values are
  just text otherwise) and for readability

New UIs, features and enhancements:

* Send history-on-join as a notice
* Log web source errors into a file instead of stdout
* Merge request announcements mention repo name
* Add issue ext event announcements
* Add note ext event announcements
* Return an HTTP response to gitlab web hook, it seems to want it
* TLS now implemented in `irc-fun-client`
* Key-URL map for which link references
* Puppet system for relaying arbitrary messages
* More goodies... :)

Bug fixes:

* Git repo names and usernames are now compared in a case-insensitive manner,
  which allows them to be specified in a human-friendly form while also
  accepting all-lowercase versions used in generated URLs. Previously this
  caused issues with !add-repo because of hacks made in an attempt to make
  hashmaps pseudo-ignore letter case.
* Display and store repo IDs as `user/repo` and not `repo/user`. The latter
  seems to be confusing since git repo URLs use the former.
* When `!get`ing a settings section, display the section and option lists in
  sorted order. It's consistent and easier to find items with the eyes.
