Updated & fixed help(.prot bitchub->bh), etc..
fixed switch in 'clone' module
Removed k:lines management: unusefull and unstable
Anti Spam Module v2.1: ported to new interfaces with many improvements, fixes and performance enhancements, including external text-files loading for part messages and spam keywords, new tuning options and partial use for remote modes (work in progress): see '.spam -v'
Help System: improved / updated
Tons of minor bugfixes and minor ehnancements

Special Thanks to [-Joker-], ToDDoLo, MaCiO`DuX, Dio, Se`De and Kenshi for precious bug reporting/hunting and very good ideas for new interesting features!

TODO

Bounce System: add support for HTTP connections, letting you use your bot as a full proxy server (with support for all shell vhosts)
',spam cycle': smart mode (random remote bots will perform chan cycling instead of current bot)
Add remote modes support/usage in most tcl functions
'.prot lt': Limit Tolerance to prevent limit-change floods
Customizable autoboot for high idle time
.spam bankind (*!*@host *!*domain@host ...)
.spam report #channel
.netsay (non-flooding variant of .massmsg)
.ljoin (.mjoin variant for a limited number of bots)
.smatch (advanced smart variant of .match) -chan #c / -command *com* / -host *hostmask* / ...
.repeat: 10 users same phrase => kick'em all
'module:dep ': dependencies between modules
.keepout (keeps users out of a channel, even if they join with the correct key or with an invitation)
'.nick cycle': remove bad characters, no longer supported by many ircds
'.prot eb': '+d mode' (and if an users does not exists, a default one will be created with a growing number of hostmasks)
'.prot eb' in 2 phases: X bots will deop oped nicks, other X will ban the unauthorized oper (should be faster than remote requests)
autoadd: bots must autoadd their own hosts (not only tell them to remote bots)
ctcp: improve default responses and let users choose them (also from external files)
'.clone': ban users with the same ident and different vhosts
Port all remaining modules to new modules interfaces system
Code reorganization / clean
Satisfate other user requests ;)

12-07-2004: Version 5.2.4
1. '.setup': version 2.5: recoded as a standard module with standard syntax/interfaces. Improved usability, fixed unloading bugs, simplified; '.setup info module': improved details; updated setup help/integration. See '.help setup' for complete help or '.setup' for status and quick-help

Modules Interfaces: version 2.7: added support for password to options parser as %p with encryption support (%p::1) and %s for options list (multiple choice); fixed major and minor issues; updated comments in module skeleton ('.setup +module newmodule'); improved array visualisation (aligned parameters)
3. '.bind' (Bind Customisation Module): created to allow owners rebind some important commands, like '/msg botnick newident...', '/msg botnick chatme...', '/msg botnick op...' etc. Made lot of integrations between bind module and the rest of the TCL. See '.bind -v' and '.help bind' for a complete list of bindings and help.

9. Help System: upgraded / moved commands integrated in new modules
20-02-2004: Version 5.2.0
1. Wrote a small (but growing up!) guide for users/developers on section Docs (Italian)
2. New Modules Interfaces: the whole code of modular implementation has been rewritten: now all modules will use a standard, faster, more configurable and powerfull user interface which supports single/mass facilities for every TCL module
3. Introduced switch '-v' on new modules interfaces, which lets you have a quick list of all module commands: for example, up till now you used '.prot' without any parameter to have a report of 'prot' module status; now you can use '.prot -v' to see how to modify every listed option
4. Full Developers Support: from now on, everyone can write its own TCL modules and integrate 'em with the rest of smart.tcl; user modules will also be included in standard TCL distribution (using command '.pack' as well as '.upgrade' / '.mupgrade') and will be listed and mantained as any other Smart module using '.setup' / '.msetup'. See 'docs' section for a basic HOW-TO and brief list of most common smart.tcl commands you can use!
5. '.setup' (and '.msetup'): rewritten to support new modules interfaces and developers support
6. '.setup modulename +module' (and '.msetup'): implemented to create new user modules
7. '.setup modulename -module' (and '.msetup'): implemented to erase unwanted modules
8. '.setup modulename info' (and '.msetup'): implemented to obtain detailed informations about specified module
9. '.pack': rewritten to support new modular system and developers
10. Help System: rewritten/upgraded to support automation in help-generation (from now on any module will have its help file, usually help/smart.modulename.help). Complete command list ('.help smart') will be dynamically generated showing available commands and marking unavailable ones (related to unloaded modules)
11. Color Mapper: created as module 'color' using new modules interfaces (see '.color' / '.color -v'), to support colors and improve messages impact (see '.help color')
12. Crontab Manager: created as module 'cron' using new modules interfaces (see '.cron' / '.cron -v'), to easy manage crontab configuration and bot entries
13. Smart Protector v4.2 (ex User Protector): ported to new modules interface system; fixed tons of bugs ('.prot eb' / '.prot fake', standard user protections, split protections)
14. '.prot ebex': it is now possible to specify user flags to be exempted from Extra Bitch checks
15. '.prot fakex': it is now possible to specify user flags to be exempted from Anti Fake checks
16. '.prot authtime': it is now possible to specify the duration of Anti Fake exemption for users authenticated via '.prot auth'
17. '.prot banlist': extended to '.prot banlist #channel on / off': it is now possible to choose the behaviour for each channel (or 'all')
18. '.prot notice': extended to '.prot notice #channel on / off': it is now possible to choose the behaviour for each channel (or 'all')
19. '.probe': improved bug logging (added tcl version in bug reports)

1. '.mbotattr': added mass interface to '.botattr'
2. '.prot bitchub' (and .mprot mass-interface): introduced Bitch Hub Mode to let bots connect only to specified hubs. Security improvement and good workaround against an eggdrop bug which lets external bot-fakes own a botnet (see '.help prot').

1. '.sop ajump': fixed/improved
11-12-2003: Version 5.1.2
