[RELEASE] B3 1.2.1

B3 version 1.2.1 is released

Upgrading:

BACKUP your configs and current installation first, you'll want to include your plugins and settings in the new version most likely...

1.) Python Egg:
If you have installed B3 before according to the easy_install method you can just upgrade the bot by running (shellprompt or commandline): easy_install -U b3
This will install B3 in the Python site-packages directory and your Python Scripts directory.

2.) Windows installer:
The windows installer will also install B3 in your Python site-packages directory and your Python Scripts directory. This will obviously only work for the windows operating system.

3.) Source
Overwrite your current B3 directory with the new version and port your configs over to the new version.

Make sure you take a look at the new configs, there might be settings that are not in your old configs that need to be added!
