There seems to be a bit more of a buzz around OSGi recently so I thought I would post the quick version of PPF that I "OSGI-fied" last year to draw some interest, not only for the other plugin developers, but also for myself ... call it kicking myself up the bum ;) Anyway, it's been sitting in the betas section on this site for for a while, note there is a tutorial available and feel free to drop by #deaded on irc.quakenet.org anytime as well.

Jibbler has released his second book (IRC Hacks being the first). No, this one is not IRC related, but it will make trying to have a conversation with Monty (his faithful bot) seem possible in comparison!

So, with a sly grin, Jibbler presents Impossible Sudoku

QueriEd 2.6 has been released. Changes are:

• added support for WSW (Warsow) (thanks mcrandello)
• fixed BF2 server query
• added Q4 (Quake 4) support (mcrandello)
• added COD4 query type for convenience (already supported as it is the same as COD2 query)
• added getFullResponse() to ServerInfo to return the actual results from the details query. This can then be parsed as wanted.

A new PircBot Demo has been added: DCCBot
