Version 2.4

• Regular expression nodes (including user, page, summary, etc) now have the ability to be set case-insensitive. This is only currently configurable by XML.
• It's now possible to unsubscribe from an individual stalk when subscribed to the whole channel.
• stalk clone #source source-tag dest-tag clones source-tag in channel #source to a new stalk dest-tag.
• It's possible to store parts of stalk trees in Phabricator Pastes now with the external node.
• Added multi-channel watches, meaning it's now possible to watch another wiki on the same IRC server's RC feed, settable with the stalk watchchannel command. Specifying the API for this is possible in two different ways in config - either by pattern or a mapping.
• Basic numeric nodes - diffsize returns the delta size of the revision, pagesize returns the absolute size of a page, number returns a static number, and the infix compares two numbers with an operator returning the boolean result of the comparison.
• Email notifications now contain the last update time and the watch channel in the stalk configuration section.
• Expiries can now be configured with a specific duration from now instead of an absolute end timestamp.
• Dynamic expiry - stalks can be configured to instead expire a specific period of time after the last trigger.
• Stalk creation time is now tracked.
• AbuseFilter hits now generate a URL to the AbuseLog for rapid investigation
• New email header including stalk data

Version 2.3

• Multi-channel has arrived! It's now possible to set up the bot to join several channels with a distinct configuration in each.
• User registration has arrived! It's now possible for users to register themselves to be assigned flags in channels, and to receive alert emails for activations of those stalks. Users can be assigned flags locally in a single channel, or globally across all channels.

v2.1

New <usergroup /> stalk node

v2.0

This release is an almost-complete rewrite of the bot.

A new IRC library and command framework has been brought across from helpmebot/helpmebot, and a lot of the EITS-specific code has been refactored to be more testable.

The result is a more-easily configurable and easier to maintain bot that has a more general use.
