Eggdrop Development
Greetings, Eggheads! After a long year and a half, we have finalized another release of Eggdrop- this one is big enough to warrant rolling over to the next version series, 1.10! What makes it so big, you may ask? We’ll tell you! By far, the biggest improvement is something people have been asking for a...
We did it! The development snapshot of Eggdrop now includes the python module, which, similar to Tcl, embeds a python interpreter into Eggdrop! You can now run your favorite python scripts on Eggdrop with minimal modification! The best part of the python module is that (mostly) you can use the exact same Tcl API commands...
Since it’s inception, users have needed to load a Tcl script into Eggdrop by downloading a Tcl file, editing the file to customize settings, and then sourceing that file in the config file. For the upcoming v1.10, the Autoscripts system was added to make this process a little more user-friendly. The autoscripts system helps by:...
We have addd support for the IRCv3 capability ‘CHGHOST’, which allows servers to send a notification when clients change their username or host. This support comes in the form of: This script feature is still considered beta and will likely change again prior to the next stable release. If you have any feedback, bugs, or...
Well, we’ve done it again- a new stable release for Eggdrop! This is going to be a “bug fix” version- there isn’t a whole lot in the way of new user-facing features here, but there has been a LOT of work done “under the hood”. We particularly wanted to push this out sooner rather than...
Happy Valentines Day, Eggheads! We wanted to reaffirm our love for you by giving you this Valentine’s Day treat- not quite as delicious as some fine Belgian Chocolates, but it’s a pretty close second- a new release candidate for Eggdrop! This is going to be a “bug fix” version- there isn’t a whole lot in...
Ho Ho Ho, Eggheads! Looks like you got an early Christmas present this year! On the tail of 1.9.3, we’re already putting out 1.9.4! We wanted to get this out quickly because, as some of you noticed, we inadvertently moved some internal functionality that affected advanced Tcl scripts. Additionally, we FINALLY tracked down one of...
Currently merged into the develop branch (and will be released with version 1.9.4), long-time user PeGaSuS has contributed an Eggdrop systemd job! To install the service, use the autobotchk script and add the “-systemd” flag to the end of the command. This will install a systemd job that can be controlled with the start, stop,...
Greetings Eggheads, On the tail of 1.9.3, we’re already putting out 1.9.4! We wanted to get this out quickly because, as some of you noticed, we inadvertently moved some internal functionality that affected advanced Tcl scripts. Additionally, we FINALLY tracked down one of our most notorious bug, an issue where an improperly tracked DNS lookup...
Greetings, Eggheads! We’re excited to announce that Eggdrop version 1.9.3 is available for download! We patched up a few (embarrassing) compile-time bugs from v1.9.2 that prevented Eggdrop from compiling on some BSD systems, and without TLS libraries present. For sure, no release can be done single handedly- in addition a host of small but important...
