As of version 1.98 unknown_lamer is the new maintainer.
Also as of version 1.98, you must have Guile 1.5.6+ or 1.6.x in order
to compile scripting support.

Version 2.0: Stable release / CVS merges
- Merged stuff from Etienne Bernard's dev tree that he was working on
  before I took over (not much)
- bot-adduser and bot-addshit now work from Scheme

Version 1.99: Configure joy
- You can now disable scripting using --disable-scripting or
  --enable-scripting=no
- Crypt can also be disabled with --disable-crypt or --enable-crypt=no
- Old hooks behavior has been restored (new hooks are added to the end
  of the hooks list and processing does not stop at the first matched
  hook). The hook behavior will change radically in 2.1.

Version 1.98: Unknown_lamer made a large number of changes
- Code is now ISO C++ and compiles with GCC 3.1
- Converted makefile system to use automake
- configure.ac now requires autoconf 2.50 (this is only a problem if
  you modify it, but I should be the only one doing that)
- Transition to new Guile 1.6 API has begun
- Scripting must always be enabled for now (known "bug")
- first hook of a given type to match is the only hook executed, all
  others are ignored. Note that the last hook to be registered is the
  first in the list!


Version 1.97: lots of changes, especially guile's scripting support, which
              is not yet documented. See in the scripts/ directory for
              examples, and in Interp.C (the Startup() function) for the
              list of all available commands.

Version 1.30: Syntax change for "channel =" in bot.conf. See examples/bot.conf.
              Rewrite of ident/password system. Should be more secure and
	      flexible.
