New Site, New Changes
There's a bit of RiveScript related news today.
Perl RiveScript 1.22 Released
This was just a maintenance release of the Perl RiveScript module that cleaned up the documentation. But also, the rsdemo script has been replaced with a new rivescript script. It can still be used the same way as rsdemo (to interactively test your RiveScript code), but it can also be used non-interactively.
So, for example, a chatterbot written in C++ would be able to use the rivescript command to add RiveScript support to their program, even though there isn't a native C++ port for RiveScript yet.
New Website
RiveScript.com has been updated to use the Siikir CMS that powers a few of my other sites. With that comes a new web design, and the URLs to pages have been modified a bit, and the site should respond much faster than before.
Future Plans
I have some plans to expand this site in the near future and provide a sort of chatterbot hosting service. Instead of having to download a Perl bot and deal with programming to be able to use RiveScript, there will be an easy-to-use hosted service like what RunABot and some other sites provide.
For people who prefer to develop their own bots, though, I have a big Perl bot I've been working on that can currently sign on to both AIM and Yahoo Messenger. I plan on packaging that code up for release here soon, too, so then you can have a more complete bot to work with than the barebones AIM template on the Getting Started page.
