Chaskis 0.8.0 (Beta 8)
Pre-release
This is a small, but important release for Chaskis. This release allows a user to specify a server password (the password that actually allows one to join a server) and a NickServ password (the password that lets the bot keeps its nickname). Note that this release does have some breaking config changes, see below

Release Notes
ChaskisCore (v0.8.0):
- Core will now send the server password after connecting if specified
- Core will now message NickServ after changing its nick name its NickServ password if specified
Chaskis.Service (v0.8.0):
- Chaskis Service will no longer write to the Windows Event log, it will write to a log file in the Chaskis Root. This is so it is consistent with how it behaves on Linux.
Chaskis (v0.8.0):
BREAKING CHANGES, PLEASE READ!!!
The password tag in IrcConfig.xml (which never worked to begin with...) has been removed. Two new tags have appeared. <nickservpasswordfile> and <serverpasswordfile>. In these tags, specify the file that contains the password (yeah, the password will be in plain text... its the best I can do at the moment...). Chaskis.exe will read the first line of the file and that will be the password it sends to the server. It is highly recommended that you chmod these files to 600, so you can read/write it, but no one else can. See more details in the sample configuration file here
