Hi everyone,

The second release candidate for UnrealIRCd 5 is out: 5.0.0-rc2. Focus
is 100% on fixing bugs and have a stable UnrealIRCd 5 release in
December 2019. You can help us a lot by testing this release. If you do,
please report any issues on https://bugs.unrealircd.org/.

The full release notes are available here
<https://github.com/unrealircd/unrealircd/blob/0f7f872a97a9c27b3c4f5cc7f385667956586066/doc/RELEASE-NOTES.md#unrealircd-500-rc2-release-notes>.

Changes between 5.0.0-rc1 and 5.0.0-rc2

  * Improve the text of some configure errors
  * The automated tests now cover more than 100 commands & features and
    we test with both anope & atheme
  * Fix bug which made atheme loop if logging to a channel
  * Fix SASL with atheme
  * Fix ident checking not always working (if enabled)
  * Fix a number of small memory leaks on rehash
  * Fix no error shown if sending a message to a +n channel
  * Fix crash with the new conditional configuration (@if $var ==
    "something")
  * Updating the ip in a listen block { } will now take effect after a
    rehash
  * Setting user mode +q (unkickable) now requires the
    self:unkickablemode operclass permission. This is included in the
    *-with-override operclasses by default.
  * Setting channel mode +L now requires +o (chanop or higher) rather
    than +q (channel owner)
  * Update numeric 470
  * KNOCK floods are now properly detected with channel mode +f.
    Unfortunately a side-effect is double knock notices if you run a
    mixed U4/U5 network.
  * Alias "type channel" was not working properly

UnrealIRCd 5 is known to work with the following services:

  * anope <https://www.anope.org/> (version 2.0.7 or higher) - with the
    "unreal4" protocol module
  * atheme <https://atheme.github.io/atheme.html> (version 7.2.9 or
    higher) - with the "unreal4" protocol module

As always, you can download UnrealIRCd from https://www.unrealircd.org/
