v1.12.0

Breaking changes

The slack bridge has been split in a slack-legacy and slack bridge. If you're still using legacy tokens and want to keep using them you'll have to rename slack to slack-legacy in your configuration. See wiki for more information.

To migrate to the new bot-token based setup you can follow the instructions here.

Slack legacy tokens may be deprecated by Slack at short notice, so it is STRONGLY recommended to use a proper bot-token instead.
