Encryption in lunaChat so far

lunaChat has message encryption in v1.0.0-alpha1-build2329 and newer, the encryption is cryptography module using Fernet to generate a key for each message sent and encrypting the message sent with the generated key (each message has its own generated key). This is still early implementation of encryption so things can change and improve.

Interacting with lunaBOT

So far lunaBOT is still really early and can only do one command which is telling you what the build number is, further upgrades are planned for lunaBOT so look out for that.

• !lunaBOT commands will make lunaBOT display a full list of commands
