 =====================================================================
 
 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.)
+    * hooks/action is now passed the user's nick instead of the full
+      address like all other hooks
+  + 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
+    * New command line option: --debug-scripts enabled the debugging
+      evaluator while running everything else normally
+    * Merged error handling patch from Dale Smith. This adds detailed
+      errors and backtraces when --debug/--debug-scripts 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)
+- The bot now builds with --disable-scripting again (this is my fault,
+  I haven't built without it in a long time)

 Version 2.1.7:
 - Fixed a number of small bugs and corner cases

+- The String class implementation has been redone and replaced by one
+  based on std::string (eventually String will be gone entirely, but

 - Patches from Jos Hulzink <josh@stack.nl> were applied which fix a
   few major bugs in the StringTokenizer (thanks)
