Eggdrop 1.6.16 released
  posted by Wcc on 31 May 2004 @ 11:48 pm CDT

Eggdrop 1.6.16 has been released! You can download it from http://www.geteggdrop.com, or http://www.eggheads.org/downloads/.

Some of the major changes in this release are:
  • IPv6 protocol support has been removed. It was poorly implemented in 1.6.15, and it will be done correctly in a later release.

    You can still connect to an IPv6 server using 6tunnel.

    6tunnel -s VHOST LOCALPORT IRCSERVER PORT

    Then, in your config file, make the bot connect to localhost on the specified port.
  • Many, many bugfixes.
  • The eggdrop binary is no longer stripped during the compile process. This will make bug reports more useful to the development team, and ultimately will help for a more stable bot. You can still use ./configure --enable-strip to enable stripping, which will create a smaller binary.
  • Several more functions have been exported for use by module coders.
  • Support for non-x86 platforms and uncommon improved. doc/COMPILING-FAQ has been updated, and now contains a compile guide, which will be updated in versions to come as Eggdrop is tested on more platforms.
  • Support for +E/+I modes on EFnet has been added.
  • The hand2idx Tcl command works for bots now.
  • Added a new Tcl EVNT bind type, "userfile-loaded", which is called after the bot's userfile has been loaded.
  • All users can now .whois their own handle.
  • Better support for Mac OS X. This is still not perfect. If you have a Mac OS X box and experience any problems, please let us know.
  • Better support for non-standard "op" prefixes There is now a config file option named "opchars", which will allow you to configure what prefixes the bot will consider an op.

    The default is: set opchars "@"

    This will make Eggdrop recognize users with the "@" prefix in a WHO reply as an op. If you set this to "@&~", users with the "@", "&", or "~" prefix will be recognized as an op.
  • Tcl 8.5 alpha is now correctly detected.
  • A long-present bug has been fixed in dnslookup, having to do with the concatenation of its arguments. It now works the way it has always been documented in tcl-commands.doc. This could possibly create problems with some scripts.
  • A security flaw reported to bugtraq recently, related to bot linking, has been corrected.
  • Updated Undernet nicklen to 12.

See the UPDATES1.6 file in the doc directory for more information on things that have changed since Eggdrop 1.6.15.

Thanks to everyone who tested RC1 and CVS and reported bugs.
