Although we have been asked not to make any major changes because
Yurik is planning to move us from CVS to SVN, there still are some
recent changes to the Python Wikipediabot framework. Here is what has
been changed in the last month:
* A new bot templatecount.py that counts or shows the inclusions of a template
* interwiki.py now has the option -new which lets it run over the
pages in [[Special:Newpages]]
* catall.py can now show the text of pages either through gui or
through console, whichever is preferred
* In movepages.py you can now choose to append something to the
pagename rather than give the complete new pagename
* When the page the bot works on is blocked by the spamfilter, it does not retry
* The command-line option -name for interwiki.py is deprecated
And furthermore there's the usual mixed material:
* Many bugfixes
* a few localization issues (namespaces, redirect text)
* a number of localized summary texts for various languages and bots
