+= RBot - The Ruby IRC Bot
+
+rbot is a ruby IRC bot. Think of him as a ruby bot framework with a highly
+modular design based around plugins.
+
+== Fork Changelog
+
+- Drops ruby 1.8 support, ruby >= 1.9.3 is required.
+- Ruby 2.1.0 is supported.
+- Removes a lot of broken/outdated plugins.
+- Removes the DRb remote interface due to its abysmal security.
+- Introduces a web service.
+- Registry is now supporting DBM (that requires no external dependencies).
+
+== Known Problems
+
+Ruby 2.0.0 (at least <=p353) is causing a segmentation fault crash that
+only occurs after a few hours. https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/9168
+
+DBM (if using Barkeley DB) is requiring manual repairs to work after
+a crash.
