+
+**Phabulous** is a server written in Go capable of receiving event
+notifications from [Phabricator][phab], a suite of developer tools and forward
+them to a [Slack][slack] community, while also providing additional
+functionality through a bot interface.
+

+
+The project started while I was working at [Seller Labs][sl] and Phabricator
+was their repository hosting tool. We mainly wanted to have better integration
+with Slack, just like GitHub and Bitbucket had.
+
+Over time, Seller Labs migrated to GitHub and other tools, so development on
+Phabulous slowed down a bit since I wasn't using it on a daily basis any more.
+
+However, this does not mean the project is dead, I've quietly been finding some
+spare time to work on improving Phabulous, and it has received a few
+contributions through pull requests.
+
+I recently landed a large refactor of the project which should make future
+contribution and extensions easier. I've reorganized how the code is structured
+to make better use of Go interfaces.
+
+In a perfect world, I would have enough time to write an extensive test suite
+for the project, but given my limited time, I've only been able to cover
+certain simple part of the project. The transition to interfaces has allowed me
+to improve the coverage of the project since dependencies can now be easily
+mocked.
+
+Another side effect that came naturally from this transition was the increased
+modularity of the code. Want to implement a connector for a different chat
+protocol? Or do you want to add a new command? Just implement the interfaces.
+
+While still technically in beta, I'm happy to say that Phabulous has reached
+v3.0.0. With this new release, you can expect the following new features:
+
+- **Experimental support for IRC**: The bot is now able to connect and work
+  over IRC networks. Functionality is almost on-par with what is available on
+  Slack.
+- **Modules:** Commands and functionality are now split into modules. You can
+  enable/disable them in the configuration file, as well as implementing your
+  own modules when forking the project.
+- **Improved integration between Slack and Phabricator:** Phabricator added a
+  new authentication provider that allows you to sign in with your Slack
+  account. Phabulous makes use of this new integration with a new extension.
+  This extension allows the bot to lookup Slack account IDs over the Conduit
+  API, which means the bot can properly mention users on the chat by using
+  their Slack username rather than their Phabricator username.
+- **Summon improvements:** The summon command can now expand project members if
+  a project is assigned as a reviewer of a revision. Additionally, the lookup
+  algorithm has been optimized to perform less requests on the Conduit API.
+- Many other small fixes and improvements.
+
+You can get the latest version of the bot by using [Docker][1] or by 
+downloading the latest release on [GitHub][2].
