Hi everyone,

The second alpha version of UnrealIRCd 5, 5.0.0-alpha2, is now available
for download. This is not a stable version, it is for testing only and
the server may misbehave. Some planned functionality for UnrealIRCd 5 is
still missing, but about 90% is there. UnrealIRCd 5 alpha versions are
there to give users an early opportunity to see what the current state
of UnrealIRCd 5 is. For those users who do dare to run it, feel free to
report any issues you may find or comment on the many U5 features on
https://bugs.unrealircd.org/.

Changes between 5.0.0-alpha1 and 5.0.0-alpha2

  * Most work has been on a rewrite of the TKL system, more cleanups and
    the Windows build (now 64-bit).
  * The most notable new feature in alpha2 is the ability to add ban
    exceptions via /ELINE.
  * Bugs fixed: list modes from channeldb were not restored properly and
    a message bug that triggered atheme warnings.
  * The crash reporter has been improved (*NIX) to include more crash
    details.
  * We are also in the process of removing compatibility code for old
    protocols, such as 3.2.x. This will further clean up the source code
    and will get rid of old bugs.

Most people will only want to read the release notes rather than run or
even test this version. That's perfectly fine. The release notes are
available at https://forums.unrealircd.org/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=8918
