Changes

Here are some notable changes that got introduced with the switching to the new IRC:

Ratmama[BOT]

This new Bot has a lot of jobs, but is not tied to pipsqueak, but pipsqueak will parse the information it provides when a new client logs in via the webinterface.

Paperwork link

When the dispatcher !closes a rescue, a direct link to edit the Rescue in the API will be posted to chat. Anyone registered on the Website can edit the Case using this link until 1 hour after creation of the rescue. After this time perios, only assigned Rats or admins can edit rescues. This means that the !assign/!go command is mandatory if the rescue took over an hour. All dispatchers are advised to always assign rats if possible.

Reopening and deletion of Rescues

There are a few new commands with special functions aside from a lot of new facts. These include the following:

Command	Description	example
!closed	Shows the last 5 closed rescues with their unique ids.	!closed
!reopen <id>	Reopens the specified case. Channel OP only.	!reopen aosi2-asddd4-43gg-34
!delete <id>	Deletes a rescue from the Database. Bot-Admin only. (Marenthyu, Absolver, xlexious, etc.) To be used with caution as this is only reversable by a very annoyed xlexious in a manual process.	!delete aosi2-asddd4-43gg-34

Rat name detection

This goes in common with the API/Website update as Rats will now be able to register their IRC names with the Website. If the !assign or !go command is used the bot will search the API for compatible usernames and respond with the appropriate CMDR name / Gamertag if it finds the name.

Other than that there are a few smaller changes that you'll notice and just see as "neat", but you won't need to worry about them.
