I've installed Eggdrop 1.6.21 from scratch and everything works just fine. Question however, is how to connect to SSL servers and how to connect using IPv6.
Looks like there have been SSL patches around for previous versions, not sure about IPv6. What's the status for Eggdrop 1.6.21?
Eggdrop 1.6.21 is actually just major bug-fixes backported from eggdrop 1.8 applied to eggdrop 1.6.20. So with 1.6.21 there is no truly stable ipv6/ssl patches, just as there were with 1.6.20. They are all hacks. The only way to get stable ipv6/ssl is using the current eggdrop 1.8 development nightlies which include full support for ipv6/ssl out-the-box no patching required.
Ok, that's clear and the answer I was looking for.
When running 1.8, will this get me into trouble with some of those great scripts? Your Google script for example (yes I know it needs some fixing at the moment) or the TVRage one?

You shouldn't have any trouble with any of my scripts nor TVRage. The only scripts you may have problems with use checks to see which eggdrop version they run on. They check for *1.6*. As long as they use a >= you are fine. It's when they just use that == you are in trouble then that script only works with 1.6. You would have to manually edit the script changing the 1.6 to 1.8 in that case. Any script that works on 1.6.* should work just as well on 1.8.* without exception.
