Introduction ChatRelayBot version 3.0, which has been in steady development since the last bugfix build of version 2.1, is now available for review by the public. Please note this is BETA-quality software; there are still issues that may come up in the beta version that could cause possible loss of program-related data, and affect the stability of either your system or the program. If you do not wish to test beta-quality and potentially unstable software, you should wait until this version of the ChatRelayBot has been officially released as production-quality software. Brief Review of Some New Features 1. Language Files — Each user can individually select a language file (using the /langset command), which changes the command output. Messages such as the CRB startup/shutdown are also localized. 2. A limited selection of user commands can now be issued through the CRB GUI. Consult the Version 3.0 Handbook to see what commands can be used through the GUI. 3. If you enter a world where your alias is already in use, it will be reset back to your original name. 4. If someone enters with an alias that is forbidden (i.e., the list of forbidden aliases was updated while they were not present), it will be reset. 5. When updating the Forbidden Aliases list while the CRB is active, any users with forbidden aliases will be reset. 6. For users who are still running version 3.3 of the Active Worlds® browser, they will no longer see an echo of themselves. Reporting Bugs or Other Problems Please report all bugs/problems in the ChatRelayBot forums. Please make sure that your bug reports are as specific as possible. The more details that are available, the more likely that your problem can be fixed. If you are reporting a crash bug, you MUST have a debug log leading up to the event of the crash; reports without a debug log may result in the author(s) of them being tarred, feathered, and stuffed into chicken suits.
