 THIS IS BOBOT++ VERSION 2.1 (this file is also -*- text -*-)
 
+=== REQUIREMENTS (Compile) ===

+Bobot++ 2.1 relies on CommonC++ 2
+(http://www.gnu.org/software/commoncpp/) 1.0.13 (at least). Newer
+version are compatible (at the time of writing, Debian unstable is
+only up to 1.0.13 so I targeted that since I don't need the features
+of 1.3 and relying on packages available in Debian makes it easier to
+install for everyone).

+The biggest change is that all bot-* functions are now
 bot:*. A simple 'perl -pi -e s/bot-/bot:/g SCRIPT1 SCRIPT2 .. SCRIPTN'
 should be enough to update your scripts. The bot-* functions are
 defined as aliases for the bot:* functions in bobot-utils.scm, which
 is autoloaded by bobot++.
