Description

Eggdrop 1.8 is the version of Eggdrop that's currently being developed. It's forked of Eggdrop1.6 and is mostly compatible.

Major features so far include:

SSL/TLS support for server connections, botnet connections (within a 1.8 botnet), certificate validation, DCC over SSL aka SCHAT (so far only KVIrc is known to support it), and authentication with client certificate. SSL/TLS Documentation
IPv6 support IPv6 Documentation

How to upgrade from Eggdrop1.6.*

You can keep your old configfile, but you should apply the changes we made to the default config (so you have an overview of the settings).

Note that the my-ip setting is gone and has been replaced by vhost4/vhost6

You can obtain a nightly development snapshot or use CVS as usual from here.

We prepared copies that should work with Eggdrop1.8 here but there's no guarantee they work.

They're compatible.
