CHANGELOG.md

Unreleased

Fixed

• Bots added using numeric keys now work
• Bots added before the server starts which raise errors when started should not longer take the server down

0.4.6

Added

• New client method for accessing the underlying Slack ruby client; this is useful for getting the channels or users (e.g. client.channels or client.users).

Changes

• Evaluate on_slack_event blocks against the bot instance, rather than the class.

0.4.5

Added

• Add on_slack_event for adding low-level event callbacks like team_join or presence_changed

0.4.4

Added

• Add new bot-private API method user_message?(data), which returns true if the message is some utterance from a user

Changes

• Allow replying from the low-level on(:message) callback, although caution should be exercised when doing this (i.e. make sure you aren't replying to bot or other low-level API messages!)

0.4.3

Added

• Add clear method to queues

Changes

• Upgrate slack-ruby-client dependency to latest version
