It has been just under 11 months since 1.8.3, and we are happy to announce the first release candidate for Eggdrop v1.8.4! The major changes in the release include:
- Lots of work on the compile process for less-commonly seen systems (SunOS, DragonFly, etc), and making Eggdrop more compiler-friendly in general
- Added and enhanced SSL/TLS warnings to make troubleshooting easier
- Raised the ban expiration limit from 1 year to 5 years, and added a new %y field to +ban
- Lots of work on TLS bot links
- Improved/clarified botnet TLS documentation- go read it!
- Made TLS fingerprints persistent across a botnet after relinking
- Sterilized a LOT of small, lingering bugs.
We'd also like to welcome mortmann to the Eggheads team- a BIG piece of what you're looking at for 1.8.4 is thanks to a lot of hard work in both finding and fixing a lot of issues in Eggdrop the rest of us have been too lazy too busy to fix. Thank you mortmann!
Please provide feedback on this release candidate via Issues or on Freenode #eggdrop. If everyone stays off the naughty list, you'll have 1.8.4 stable for a Christmas present!
