   version 1.98, you must have Guile 1.5.6+ or 1.6.x in order to
   compile scripting support.
 
+  As of version 2.2.0 no new updates are promised. I am splitting out
+  the Parser and a few other well written bits and using them from
+  Scheme to implement most of the Bobot++ functionality in pure
+  Scheme. The time spent maintaining this not terribly good C++ (a
+  good bit of which is my fault due to my inexperience when I began
+  maintaing Bobot++) is a waste to me now. I would rather be hacking
+  on a Lisp program instead.
+
+  I will still accept patches, and may fix bugs if I have time (and
+  people report them). I may finish the manual since the scripting
+  section is all that remains, and that will apply to the new bot as
+  well.

 ====== The News =====================================================
 =====================================================================
 
+Version 2.3.0:
+
+Version 2.2.3 (2008-11-12):
+- Building with Guile in a non-standard location now works
+- Building without Guile now works again
+- Building with GCC 4.x now works
+  + GCC prior to 4.x's libc headers exported the libc symbols from
+    both :: and std:: leading to a few unqualified libc calls sneaking
+    into Bobot++'s source
+- All uses of the long deprecated GH API have been removed
+  + Building against libguile 1.8 built with --disable-deprecated now
+    works
+  + Building against Guile 1.6 likely no longer works
+  + However, building against guile-vm libguile does work and Bobot++
+    is the first application built this way
+- This will be the last of the 2.2.x series; a 2.3.x series /might/ be
+  started to enhance the scripting interface and finish the manual
+
+Version 2.2.2 (2006-06-28):
+- No longer segfaults when loading bobot-utils.scm
+- bot:match-to-me produces a valid regexp again
+- scripts/uname now properly uses (ice-9 rdelim) instead of redelim
+- bot:load now loads files properly
+
+Version 2.2.1 (2006-06-28):
+- If the log directory does not exist the bot creates it
+- If there are lines with only whitespace on them in the config file
+  and error message is no longer printed to the log
+
+Version 2.2.0 (2006-05-24):
+- Scripting
+  + Hooks  
+    * hooks/disconnect now takes an additonal argument that specifies
+      whether the disconnect was intentional or not.
+    * Added hooks/send/who
+    * Added hooks/send/whois
+  + The deprecated scripting procedure and hook names are now in a
+    `begin-deprecated' block. If your guile is built without
+    deprecated feature support, they will not be available.
+  + Renamed Functions
+    * bot:send-ctcp was renamed to bot:ctcp
+    * bot:send-ctcp-reply was renamed to bot:ctcp-reply
+  + New Functions
+    * bot:who (send WHO request)
+    * bot:whois (send WHOIS request)
+  + New Constants
+    * bot:shit/none, bot:shit/no-op, bot:shit/no-join,
+      bot:shit/no-deban shit list constants
+- Documention
+  + Reorganized a few sections
+  + Every hook is now documented
+  + Using bot section is now much more usable
+  + Every config file is now documented
+- The code was cleaned up a bit
+
