v1.8.1

We are proud to announce the release of Eggdrop version v1.8.1 as stable, after 2 mostly uneventful release candidates. We decided to rename the old NEWS-1.8.0 file as UPGRADING-1.8 because it contains instructions on how to upgrade from 1.6.x to 1.8.x and those might still interest the late adopters of 1.8.x! :-)

The major changes between 1.8.0 and 1.8.1 are:

  • Autobotchk: Added functionality improvements, allowing special characters to be used in botnicks (and hence filenames), and made it able to deal with split up configs that source further files.
  • .who linkedbot output: Truncates long channel listings appropriately.
  • eggdrop.conf: Update source code to match defaults given in Eggdrop configuration file.
  • Timer drifts: If your bot really gets frozen longer than 60 minutes, it now shows times longer than 60 minutes.
  • ./configure: Added an options summary at the end so you see which Tcl version was used, and whether it found IPv6 and SSL files
  • OpenSSL: A new version of OpenSSL broke our OpenSSL detection (the hexstr2buf function) and we fixed that.
  • Versioning: Moved previously hard-coded version strings to version.h and update them via misc/setpatch instead of misc/addpatch. This also fixes inconsistencies in setting the internal version integer.
  • Bugs: A lot were cleaned up!

For the full list of changes see doc/Changes1.8.
