UnrealIRCd 4.0.0-rc1 released

[Bram M. <sy...@un...>]

Hi everyone,

The first release candidate for UnrealIRCd 4 is now available for download. 
This -rc1 release fixes a number of crash and linking issues.

We're aiming for an UnrealIRCd 4.0.0 stable release before the end of the year 
(2015).

*Why UnrealIRCd _4_?*
When the development version was still in alpha/beta stage it was called 
3.4.x. It has been renamed to UnrealIRCd 4 to indicate the significant changes 
to the codebase and changes to end-users. See also What's new in UnrealIRCd 4 
<https://www.unrealircd.org/docs/What%27s_new_in_UnrealIRCd_4>.

*Release Candiate*
We run daily tests against UnrealIRCd 4 without any issues and each release 
it's getting more stable. However because this version is a "Release 
Candidate" this means that it may still crash occasionally or have other 
issues. It's not yet of "release quality".

*Download*
As always, you can download UnrealIRCd from https://www.unrealircd.org/
All releases are signed with our PGP key (short key id 0x108FF4A9 and long id 
0xA7A21B0A108FF4A9)

*UnrealIRCd is not malware*
You may see a "malware detected" prompt when downloading UnrealIRCd. You can 
safely ignore this warning.
Google has been repeatedly blacklisting some of our downloads and 
unfortunately does not seem to be responding to removal or even information 
requests (any help with this would be appreciated).

Please report bugs on https://bugs.unrealircd.org/

Regards,

Bram.
