+**Irssi 0.8.18-beta2 has been released.** Beta 2 has only a few minor
+changes compared to [beta 1](/2015/12/21/irssi-0.8.18-beta-released/)
+and fixes one regression  in /hilight reported from beta 1 testing.
+**Thanks to everyone who helped test beta 1!**
+See our [Github](https://github.com/irssi/irssi)
+repository for details.
+
+**New in this release** (unchanged from beta 1). CAP SASL supported
+natively. ZNC "self messages" shown in the correct window. Line splitting
+now splits on space. Bracketed paste markers supported for better paste
+detection. Nick is hilighted everywhere in a message. Config parser is
+more robust. And as usual many fixes, see the
+[NEWS](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/irssi/irssi/0.8.18-beta2/NEWS)
+for details.
+
+This pre-release can be downloaded from
+[our releases page](https://github.com/irssi/irssi/releases).
+
+Thanks to the [Open Build Service](https://build.opensuse.org/) testing
+packages for some distributions were prepared on
+[ailin_nemui:irssi-test](http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/ailin_nemui:/irssi-test/).
