+
+       * Remote Service Provider: from an idea by halorgium <rbot@spork.in>,
+       initial steps towards a DRb-based remote service provider for rbot.
+       When complete, it will give plugins the ability to listen to
+       'messages' from remote clients connected to the bot, allowing for such
+       things as svn notification without RSS polling, remote control of
+       the bot, or even (why not?) botnets.
+       * Remote Service Provider: BotModules can now include the
+       RemoteBotModule interface that provides them with the remote_map()
+       method that works just like the map() method, but for remote commands
+       * Remote Service Provider: Remote clients can now login remotely
+       before executing commands. This in fact integrates the remote access
+       auth security with the User/BotUser used on IRC itself.

+
+       * sendmsg improvements: the bot sendmsg() method and all the methods
+       that rely on it (say(), notice(), and message methods such as reply())
+       now accept an option hash to customize its behaviour.
+               * :newlines, which can be set to either :split or :join,
+               depending on whether newlines in messages should be used as
+               split-points, or should be be replaced by some string (defined
+               in the :join_with option)
+               * :max_lines, which determines the maximum number of lines to be
+               sent by each messages. Last line is truncated (see next
+               options). Set to nil to have no limits.
+               * :overlong, which determines the behaviour when overlong lines
+               are to be sent; possible values are :split or :truncate.
+               * If :overlong is set to :split, :split_at determines the
+               string/regexp to split at; default is /\s+/, other usual
+               choice could be /\s+\|\s+/.
+               * If :overlong is set to :split, the :purge_split option
+               determines whether the :split_at expression should be removed
+               from the next lines (defaults to true).
+               * If :overlong is set to :truncate, the value of the option
+               :truncate_text is replaced at the end of the truncated line
+       * LinkBot plugin: initial commit of a plugin to handle messages from
+       eggdrops and other bots that act as cross-network channel links.
