UnrealIRCd 6.0.0-beta4 available for testing

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

*Fourth beta*
The fourth beta for UnrealIRCd 6 is now available for testing. It fixes 
a serious bug where regular users (without +hoaq) could set some channel 
modes. It also contains a few other fixes such as for memory leaks. See 
the release notes for full details.
This release contains all the planned features for U6 and we need the 
help of the public to test these beta releases. Caution: this beta may 
crash spectacularly, behave weird or in unexpected ways, so don't run it 
on production systems!
If you find any issues, please report them at 
https://bugs.unrealircd.org/ <https://bugs.unrealircd.org/>. This way, 
you help us getting ready for a real stable UnrealIRCd 6 release.

*UnrealIRCd 6
*We have been working on UnrealIRCd 6 behind closed doors since July. A 
lot of work has been done during the summer vacation.
UnrealIRCd 6 comes with a completely redone logging system (with 
optional JSON support), named extended bans, four new IRCv3 features, 
geoip support and remote includes support built-in.
Additionally, things are more customizable such as what gets sent to 
which snomask. All the +vhoaq channel modes are now modular as well, 
handy for admins who don't want or need halfops or +q/+a. For WHOIS it 
is now customizable in detail who gets to see what.

See the release notes 
<https://github.com/unrealircd/unrealircd/blob/unreal60_dev/doc/RELEASE-NOTES.md#unrealircd-600-beta4> 
of this beta release for detailed information on all the new features, 
and also how to update your U5 config to work on U6.
As always, you can download UnrealIRCd from https://www.unrealircd.org/ 
<https://www.unrealircd.org/>. The *NIX/source version is up. The 
Windows version will be uploaded later today.
