 ====== The News =====================================================
 =====================================================================
 
+Version 2.1.8: 
+- Scripting
+  + Hooks
+    * Added bot:protection/[none|ban|kick|deop] and bot:aop/[yes|no]
+      constants to the Scheme scripting interface
+    * hooks/timer argument is now zero padded instead of space padded
+      (e.g. "11:01" instead of "11: 1")
+    * hooks/disconnect is now called when the bot is disconnected from the
+      server unintentionally (network connection timeout, server died,
+      etc.)
+  + Message Sending
+    * Implemented bot:notice
+    * bot:msg and bot:say may both send to channels and users (instead
+      of bot:msg for users and bot:say for channels)
+    * Renamed bot:send-CTCP to bot:send-ctcp
+    * Added bot:send-ctcp-reply to send a ctcp-reply
+  + Misc
+    * Added (bobotpp bot) module that modules may use to gain access
+      to the bobot++ functions
+  + Debugging
+    * The debugging evaluator is now enabled when --debug is passed to
+      the bot
+    * Merged error handling patch from Dale Smith. This adds detailed
+      errors and backtraces when --debug is passed to Bobot++.
+- Documentation
+  + Merged documentation patch from Dale Smith (thanks)
+- Misc
+  + NOTICEs and PRIVMSGs are now sent correctly if they contain an
+    embedded newline
+  + Max nick length is now configurable via 'maxnicklength' option in
+    bot.conf (defaults to 9)
+
+
+Version 2.1.7:
+- Fixed a number of small bugs and corner cases
+- Should compile without warnings (GCC 3.4)
+
+Version 2.1.6:
+- The String class implementation has been redone and replaced by one
+  based on std::string (eventually String will be gone entirely, but
+  it a lot of work)
+- Patches from Jos Hulzink <josh@stack.nl> were applied which fix a
+  few major bugs in the StringTokenizer (thanks)
+
+Version 2.1.5: Cleanups
+- A DCC CHAT with the bot may now only be initiated if the user is a
+  Friend of the bot
+- Implemented bot:ctcp-quote
+- The Bot Configuration section of the manual has been completed.
+- Fixed a potential (but unlikely) buffer overflow in Utils::strToTime
+  (if there were more than 512 digits in part of the string form of
+  the time the buffer would overflow)
+- Misc. Bugfixes
+
+Version 2.1.4: DCC Support Enhancements
+- Internal Change: DCCConnection is now an abstract class
+- Internal Change: DCCChatConnection provides the functionality of
+  the old DCCConnection so that DCC FILE support can be added
+- New Scheme Procedure: (bot:sent-to-me? message), checks to see if a
+  message was addressed to the bot. This is better than using
+  bot:match-to-me because the hook will continue to function if the
+  bot's nick changes. The only downside to using it is that there may
+  be an increased overhead of calling more hooks than could be called,
+  but that shouldn't be much of a problem.
+- New Scheme Procedure: (bot:change-command-level command level),
+  changes the level a user command to allow a user of `level' level or
+  above to run it.
+
+Version 2.1.3: Something
+- The flood rate can now be set using !setfloodrate INTEGER. The
+default is two messages per second before the bot will ignore
+you. (thanks to Björn Gustavsson for requesting this)
+- The flood rate may also be set from Scheme using (bot:setfloodrate
+integer)
+- A very large crash bug has been fixed. Previously, if an undefined
+command was called, any attempts to call a subsequent command would
+cause the bot to crash. Now the bot doesn't crash.
