Eggdrop 1.6.18 Release Candidate 1

588 days since the release of Eggdrop 1.6.17, we are pleased to announce the release of Eggdrop 1.6.18rc1. You can download it from ftp.eggheads.org.

Some of the changes include:

* Fixed several build problems on Mac OS X, NetBSD, and OSF1.
* Dns.mod should compile on Mac OS X now. Thanks to Netscrape @ EFNet for testing.
* 'channel get' Tcl command now works for stopnethack-mode.
* Many improvements to the notes and bind code.
* Added support to MSGM, PUBM, NOTC, and WALL binds to support bound procs returning 1 to prevent logging of the trigger message text.
* Added the 'exclusive-binds' setting. If this is set to 0, MSGM and MSG binds, PUB and PUBM binds, etc. are both triggered when a matching event occurrs.

See the UPDATES1.6 file in the doc directory for more information on things that have changed since Eggdrop 1.6.17. If all goes well, in a couple of weeks -- the official version of 1.6.18 will be out. If not, you might see another release candidate

Before I end this e-mail I'd like to personally thank everyone who is involved in making Eggdrop what it is. The developers who are never properly thanked for their work ... and the helpers in support channels .. all you do an amazing job. You are all very talented and it has been a pleasure to work with each and every one of you. Even as the development of Eggdrop slows -- I hope you all continue to have great success in your lives.
