ignitionServer 0.3.3 Released

ignitionServer 0.3.3 has been released. As expected, many bugs have been fixed, and we've added several features. The most important addition in this release is IRCX DATA, REQUEST, and REPLY. These commands are used by a few IRCX clients to transmit/receive/request specific data. Microsoft Chat uses these commands for comic character stuff. In addition to this, client properties have been added. You can now view some info about yourself (but not others), like your GUID (a nifty piece of information that we use in the hash tables). We've also fixed that very annoying bug that prevented you from using wildcards with /list. In the process, we did change how channels are handled slightly. Now, you can't create channels with * or ? in the name. These are wildcards, and it wouldn't make sense to make them legal :). Aside from that, there's nothing else major changed. I recommend everyone upgrade, but you don't need to get up and do it right this second.

You can download ignitionServer from our usual places: the SourceForge File Release System, the ignitionServer download page, and via MAGNET-URIs.

If you're waiting for ignitionServices, just wait another day or two. The 0.1.0 (demonstration) release will occur quite soon.
