<p>
Greetings!
This is a very exciting changelog, because over the last year, I've been rewriting ESM in its entirety with focus on useability. The most noteable changes are:
</p>
<ul class="uk-list uk-list-hyphen">
<li>Completely rewrote the bot in MRI Ruby</li>
<li>Added support for translations</li>
<li>Given more control to community admins</li>
<li>Revamped the entire website</li>
<li>Vastly improved the useability, documentation, error messages, and overall interaction with ESM's users</li>
<li>and so much more!</li>
</ul>
<p>
Along with all of the changes to the bot and website, I made a major change to the core of ESM itself:
<br>
<strong>Exile Server Manager has gone open-source!</strong>
<br>
You can now view the source code, in its entirety (minus DLL/SQF, more on this later) on my <%= link_to "Github", "https://www.github.com/itsthedevman/esm_bot" %>.<br><small><i>One request, please read the README and CONTRIBUTION documents before creating issues or pull requests</i></small>
</p>
