Eggdrop v1.8.0 Release Candidate 2

It took a little longer than expected, but we are proud to announce the release of Eggdrop 1.8.0 RC2!

Thanks to all who contributed the numerous bug reports and assisted in testing!

All in all, 26 issues were submitted (and fixed!) in response to RC1:

• The majority of changes were focused on compilation fixes for cygwin, *BSD, and other general cross-compiling issues. Eggdrop should now compile out-of-the-box under cygwin; the instructions have been added to the INSTALL file.
• Unfortunately, we had to remove the little known "flood-size" feature for 1.8.0 but we hope to reintroduce it in 1.8.1 with a slightly better implementation approach.
• Finally, our new eggdrop-basic.conf for Eggdrop 1.8.0 is now properly installed along with the complete eggdrop.conf during a 'make install'.

Thanks to your support, we're expecting RC2 will be the final RC for 1.8.0. Barring any surprises, look for the next (hopefully stable) release sometime in the next two weeks. See you then!
