Hey all,
Sorry about not releasing yesterday but we needed to get a few final
documentation updates into the CVS (Wcc did a great job this release of
reworking the documents and making sure the html docs were in sync with the
text ones). This release has a large number of small fixes over 1.6.7 -- so
it is not required that you upgrade but I encourage people to still upgrade
when they have a chance. The UPDATES1.6 can tell you about all the changes
in this release, but here are a few key ones:
- various tcl commands have been modified and/or improved for speed,
this includes:
- hand2nick (_much_ faster when converting handles to nicknames)
- nick2hand (_much_ faster when converting nicknames to handles)
- handonchan (_much_ faster when checking if a handle is on a
channel)
- chanlist (_much_ faster when used to match channel flags)
- pushmode (can be used for any type of mode now)
- botisop, botonchan, isop, isvoice, etc .. take a channel as an
optional argument now
- traffic (can be used to get information like the .traffic command
contains)
- jump (long servernames wont crash the bot anymore)
- boot (when used remotely without a reason doesn't screw up the
partyline output anymore)
- max-modes and max-bans are now set when using net-type (Dalnet people
should enjoy this)
- eggdrop retrieves channel keys on the Undernet (should be compatiable
with other networks using the same key hiding method as well) again when it
recieves ops
- channel flags shouldn't be lost anymore when allow-resync is turned on
- tons of documenation updates and various cosmetic fixes
- the bug with the notes module was fixed (1.6.7 introduced the bug)
- plus many more...
