Announcing the release of ShowEQ version 5.8. This release is compatible with Live servers post release for the BS expansion. This fixes a lot of compatibility issues. See the Changelog for details. Obviously, you want this version.

NOTE: This release removes the itemdb functionality. It was way old and would need a lot of work to get back in. If you want to work with items, see the fine work over at EQItems, where you can search for items, embed items in your forums, and even download the entire item database they have collected.

If you usually use a package for your distribution, I'm sure they will be along at some point. I haven't seen CeleSEQ around lately, so I don't know if you're going to get FC packages or not.
