This file documents the developers, major contributors, and groups who've |
9 |
developed and maintained Eggdrop. A full list of contributors can be found |
10 |
in the file THANKS. Contributor information for specific versions of Eggdrop |
11 |
can be found in the corresponding doc/Changes files. |

Eggdrop was originally written by Robey Pointer. Versions 0.6 through 1.0o |
14 |
and 1.1alpha-lincoln through 1.1alpha-grant were developed by Robey from |
15 |
December 1993 through February 1997. As of version 1.0n, Robey relicensed |
16 |
Eggdrop under the GNU GPL. Robey's relicensing also allows for earlier |
17 |
versions of Eggdrop to be licensed under the GNU GPL. After version |
18 |
1.1alpha-grant, Robey gave up his position as Eggdrop's maintainer. |
19 |
|
20 |
Version 1.0p was a maintenance release put together by Wade in March 1997 |
21 |
made from Eggdrop community patches. Later 1.0 series bugfix and maintenance |
22 |
releases were made by other Eggdrop community members. |
23 |
|
24 |
Eggdrop 1.1 development continued after 1.1alpha-grant with significant |
25 |
contributions from many Eggdrop community members. While it would be |
26 |
impossible to include a full list of contributors for each version in this |
27 |
file, below is a list of some of the major contributors and core Eggdrop |
28 |
community during 1.1alpha and 1.1.x: |
29 |
|
30 |
Beldin, ButchBub, cmwagner, dk, dtM, EraseMe, Ernst, Lefty, LuckyStar, |
31 |
poptix, Robey, Wade, Wild |
32 |
|
33 |
Around version 1.1.1, Beldin took on Robey's former role of lead developer |
34 |
and maintainer. Beldin and many other developers later regrouped as |
35 |
eggdrop.org and developed Eggdrop up through version 1.3.23. |
36 |
|
37 |
Below is a partial list of major contributors and core Eggdrop community |
38 |
members during 1.2 and 1.3 up through version 1.3.23: |
39 |
|
40 |
Beldin, BoGuS, ButchBub, Daklop, dk, dtM, easton, Ernst, KingKurly, Kirk, |
41 |
Melvan, |mmortal, NC, poptix, Q, Raistlin, smok, tdmarti, TheGhost, vod, |
42 |
wheely, zarni |

44 |
After version 1.3.23, Beldin decided to discontinue development of the 1.3.x |
45 |
branch and instead focus solely on 'Eggdrop2' development. |
46 |
|
47 |
Unfortunately, 'Eggdrop2' took more resources to compile and run than 1.3.x. |
48 |
Most users also found it difficult and sometimes impossible to compile |
49 |
because it lacked the portability of previous versions due to having been |
50 |
written in C++ instead of C. Because of its limitations, users continued to |
51 |
favor the more established 1.3.x codebase. |
52 |
|
53 |
After Beldin and a number of other developers publicly stated their intent |
54 |
to discontinue all development of 1.3.x after 1.3.23, a new development |
55 |
group began to form made up of other Eggdrop community members. This group |
56 |
eventually organized as eggheads.org. |
57 |
|
58 |
Because of the large number of outstanding bugs in 1.3.23 and community |
59 |
interest in continuing 1.3.x development, a new version was created from the |
60 |
numerous patches that had piled up after work on 1.3.x had stopped. This new |
61 |
version was released as 1.3.24i. The 'i' stood for independent and was |
62 |
intended to show that this release was independent of the "official" |
63 |
development group. The 'i' was dropped for the 1.3.25 and later releases. |
64 |
|
65 |
Below is a list of developers and contributors for version 1.3.24i released |
66 |
