Version 2.6 Revision 3
This version was released on April 19, 2005.
Due to Battle.net's additions of lockdown, warden, and normal game patches while StealthBot stopped being updated by Stealth, who became more and more busy, StealthBot lost popularity and usability over time.
Since Stealth was not around to compile fixes, version check failed became the infamous error of StealthBot. "Critical updates" were created by Eric to accommodate some patches. Later, separate EXEs for SC/WC2 and D2/WC3 were by Hdx to allow users to connect through the various difficulties normal patches provided. Users had to use BNLS since the bot had no lockdown version check support.
After warden was introduced, Hdx eventually made a work-around proxy server that ran locally and allowed 2.6 to use Hdx's DLL to pass the warden checks, transparent to the program itself.
Changelog:
VERSION 2.6R3 - NUMEROUS FIXES
*BUG FIXES
SECURITY
- Fixed a CRITICAL exploit requiring me to disable version 2.6 and its predecessors entirely

Version 2.7 Betas
Beta releases for 2.7 saw the addition of several members to the development team. Several delays in the release of StealthBot 2.7 have made it the longest anticipated release in StealthBot's history.
An extensive number of betas were built during the development of 2.7. Sporting names like "v2.691", "v2.6995", "v2.6999 Development Release 10", to "v2.7 - Build 200", the innumerable releases varied in stability and just about everything else.
Version 2.7
This version was released on October 7, 2009, which is almost 4.5 years after the last release!
This release is filled with extensive changes including the addition of many objects to make scripting more powerful (thanks to Eric), to more controllable BNLS server settings (a necessity since bnls.valhallalegends.com is down), to an uncountable number of internal changes and bug fixes (specifically in how the bot does version checking which allows future updates without requiring new versions; it supports lockdown and warden through Hdx's DLL).
After release, this wiki was released and has slowly become a comprehensive repository for how to use the many parts of StealthBot and Battle.net.

display the song to your screen. This works for all commands.
- Shitlisting another person now requires strictly greater access than them (thanks Retain)
- Using a config.ini hack ("AutoModerationSafelistValue") you can now override the access required
to be safe from automatic moderation features [the default is 20] (thanks Draco)
This entry should go under [Override] in your config.ini file
