### Update bashbot
1. Go to the directory where you had installed bashbot, e.g.
* your $HOME directory
* /usr/local
2. [Download latest release zip from github](https://github.com/topkecleon/telegram-bot-bash/releases)
3. Extract all files to your existing bashbot dir
**Note: all files execpt 'mycommands.sh' and 'commands.sh' may overwritten!**
4. Save your your current 'commands.sh' and run ```cp commands.sh.dist commands.sh```
5. Run ```sudo ./bashbot.sh init``` to setup your environment after the update
If you modified 'commands.sh' re apply all changes to the new 'commands.sh'. To avoid this all your modifications
must be done in 'mycommands.sh' only.
### Notes on Updates
#### Location of tmp / data dir
From version 0.70 on the tmp dir is renamed to 'data-bot-bash' to reflect the fact that not only temporary files are stored. an existing 'tmp-bot-bash' will be automatically renamed after update.
From version 0.60 on your commands must be placed in 'mycommands.sh'. If you update from a version with your commands
in 'commands.sh' move all your commands and functions to 'mycommands.sh'.
From version 0.50 on the temporary files are no more placed in '/tmp'. instead a dedicated tmp dir is used.
#### Changes to send_keyboard in v0.6
From Version 0.60 on keybord format for ```send_keyboard``` and ```send_message "mykeyboardstartshere ..."``` was changed.
Keybords are now defined in JSON Array notation e.g. "[ \\"yes\\" , \\"no\\" ]".
This has the advantage that you can create any type of keyboard supported by Telegram.
The old format is supported for backward compatibility, but may fail for corner cases.
*Example Keyboards*:
- yes no in two rows:
- OLD format: 'yes' 'no' *(two strings)*
- NEW format: '[ "yes" ] , [ "no" ]' *(two arrays with a string)*
- new layouts made easy with NEW format:
- Yes No in one row: '[ "yes" , "no" ]'
- Yes No plus Maybe in 2.row: '[ "yes" , "no" ] , [ "maybe" ]'
- numpad style keyboard: '[ "1" , "2" , "3" ] , [ "4" , "5" , "6" ] , [ "7" , "8" , "9" ] , [ "0" ]'
