Oragono v0.12.0 Release Notes

Release Date: 2018-10-15 // over 5 years ago

  • 🚀 There's been a host of changes in the past six months, and this Halloween release has a number of very useful improvements.

    For example, passwords are now hashed in a much better way than we did it before (jlatt's original method back from Ergonomadic was the right way to do things), the database now auto-upgrades for you when it detects a new version, thanks to Slingamn we now have vhosts, and there's been a ton of rewrites under-the-hood to improve stability and performance.

    🚀 If you have any trouble with this release, please let us know with an issue on our tracker, or by talking to us in #oragono on Freenode.

    📚 Thanks to slingamn for a lot of heavy lifting this release and to vilmibm for contributing a documentation fix!
