Thanks and acknowledgements

• Joshua Mulliken @JoshuaMulliken
• Justin W. Flory @jwflory
• Felix Yan @felixonmars

Thank you!

What's going on?

In case you missed the discussion in #163, the TeleIRC core maintainers are hard at work on the next major version of TeleIRC, v2.0.0. It is a full rewrite from NodeJS to Go. The rationale for this is explained over in this blog post:

https://blog.jwf.io/2020/03/teleirc-v2-0-0-march-2020-progress-update/

From this point forward, no further updates or development support are given to the v1.x.x release versions. The changelog for this version is already slim, which reflects the current focus of the team on the new major version.

The core team is committed to providing limited support to those currently using v1.x.x versions and some guidance on how to upgrade to the v2.x.x release once it comes out in May 2020. While we will not add new features or fix bugs, we will make our best attempt (as a team of all volunteers, mostly students) to help those currently using TeleIRC continue to use TeleIRC.

Thanks to all of the folks who have contributed to the v1.x.x releases over the last four years. TeleIRC has always been a community effort and our success would not have been possible without the great effort of many folks to make this project better. A special shout-out to @repkam09 for launching this project all those years ago. 😄
