This update focuses on new features and huge code refactoring / reorganization.
The rivescript-java implementations has been aligned with the rivescript-go
implementation.

  • API Breaking Changes:
    • Removed RiveScript(boolean debug) constructor in favour of
      RiveScript(Config config) constructor .
    • The RiveScript instance has no notion of debug mode anymore.
      Debug logging is now based on the SLF4J configuration.
    • Refactored com.rivescript.ObjectMacro to com.rivescript.macro.Subroutine.
    • Renamed ObjectHandler methods from onLoad, onCall to respectively
      load and call. Also the setClass method has been removed.
    • The org.json dependency is now a optional dependency.
      Developers using Perl object macros must include this org.json dependency
      manually to their projects.
  • Changes:
    • Replace System.out logging by using the SLF4J API.
    • Add Unicode support (#30, #31).
    • Add new forceCase config option, which will force-lowercase your triggers
      during parse time, enabling authors to use uppercase letters in triggers
      without it being a syntax error. Do note however that Unicode case folding
      can become an issue with certain symbols.
    • Add customizable error messages config option.
    • Add throw exceptions config option, which will make the bot throw (runtime)
      exceptions (e.g. DeepRecursionException, ReplyNotFoundException)
      in case of an error instead of just replying with an error message.
      When enabled, developers should catch these exceptions and take the
      appropriate actions.
    • The RiveScript constructor now accepts a Config object to configure
      the RiveScript instance. Also a developer Config.Builder is available.
    • Add support for pluggable session stores for user variables. The default
      one still keeps user variables in memory, but you can specify your own
      implementation instead (#33).
    • Add RiveScript shell to quickly demo and test a RiveScript bot.
      See com.rivescript.cmd.Shell.
    • Separated the Parser which can now be used independently.
      The parser returns a Abstract Syntax Tree (AST) identical to the
      rivescript-go parser. It enables third party developers to write
      applications that simply parse RiveScript code and getting an AST from it.
    • Add option to load RiveScript source code from a java.io.File or
      java.nio.file.Path.
    • Fix for sorting %Previous triggers (#9).
