2.9.0

This release comes with a (relatively large) change to use discord.js v12!
There were a lot of breaking changes in the upstream library, including removal of support for Node <12, which prompted a 2.9.0-alpha release before this main version.
Everything seemed to go fine, which is why you're now receiving this latest update!

Added

• IRC nick colors are now customizable in the config (thanks to KWeaver87)

Changed

• Upgrade discord.js to 12.3.1 (the pre-release came with 12.2.0) - this changes a lot of how the bot works behind the scenes, and prepares us for upcoming Discord API changes - #555, #564
• Add support for Node 14 (#549); drop support for Node 6, 8 and 10 (#550)

Fixed

• A bunch of vulnerabilities listed in npm audit are now gone - #544, #548, #551, #552, #553, #562
• Log messages now typically take up one line again (fixing a relatively long-standing bug, at this point – oops!) - #554
• Mentioning the same user more than once in a single message is now fixed (thanks to Qyriad)
• Our Discord client now uses a retry limit of 3 (rather than 1) on internal server errors (hopefully fixing #461) - #565

v2.9.0-alpha

Pre-release of a (relatively large) upcoming change to use discord.js v12! There were a lot of breaking changes in the upstream library, including removal of support for Node <12, which is what prompts me to make this into a pre-release rather than storming ahead to release it directly. If nobody reports bugs on this soon, and I don't spot any, I'll promote this into a full release!

Please do test this out, if you're happy to risk breakages and report these bugs to me!

Webhooks lets you override nicknames and avatars, so messages coming from IRC
can appear as regular Discord messages:

To enable webhooks, follow part 1 of this
guide
to create and retrieve a webhook URL for a specific channel, then enable it in
discord-irc's config as follows:

  "webhooks": {
    "#discord-channel": "https://discordapp.com/api/webhooks/id/token"
  }
