This is not true. The version numbers convention works on a major minor basis. It depends which of these are odd or even that states the status of it.

At the end of the 1.4 series, major steps where taken.

A whole new version (1.5) and a development plan was formed.

According to tcl-commands.doc, the version numbering is as follows.

numversion
Value: the current numeric bot version (for example: "1010201").
Numerical version is in the format of "MNNRRPP", where:
M major release number
NN minor release number
RR sub-release number
PP patch level for that sub-release

The above, in the way we normaly see it is.
N.MM.RR+PP

However, the +PP isn't normaly there, and will only apply to the likes of the IPv6 patch, or inbetween versions.

Only when the "Minor release number" is ODD, is it a development release.

As such, 1.6 is even, and is considered stable. 1.5 and 1.7 are odd, so where/are beta/alpha quality.

All 1.6.x bots are considered stable, unless a specific message says so (IE, the issue with 1.6.11 cause major socks problems).

Re-compile your bot. It seems you are using modules from a previous version, where the HANDLEN is set to 9

src/mod/irc.mod/cmdsirc.c:1022
Code:
if (strlen(hand) > HANDLEN)    hand[HANDLEN] = 0;
When using the adduser command, this will check if the handle required (after determining if you specified one, or it should use the nickname) is over HANDLEN in size.

If so, then it simply drops the rest of the data.

If you are only getting 9 chars allowed, then the check above is only using a HANDLEN of 9.

Make sue you run "make clean" before starting the compile process.

Thanx for help. I`ve heard that even numbers of eggie r stable and odds r testin` version. So i`ve recompiled it again from 1.6.12 and now everythin` works fine. Thanx again mate.

Can we try and keep things to one thread, rather than cross-posting.

Have you changed the value of nicklen int he config file?

yup. everythin` works fine, i can change bot`s nick up to 32 chars, .+user up to 32 chars, but .adduser still cuts handle to 9 chars.
eggie 1.6.13

May well be because this is not a value character according to the RFC.

You can only used names, as defined in the IRC RFC 1459

Maybe someone can tell me what to change in putty config that my eggdrop worked well with cyrillic encoding ?
There is some problem with char "Z" in cyryllic mode, this char do not appears on partyline and other commands, eggdrop just ignores this char ...

Check the putty config.

It may well be that keyboard handling can be adjusted there, and preventing errornouse characters being sent.

I used handle "astronom" but bot makes it into "astron". Maybe problem is in my telnet client (putty.exe), maybe there i need to set some options ...
Or maybe there are better telnet client than putty ?
