UnrealIRCd 6.0.0-rc2 released

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

Hi everyone,

This is the second Release Candidate for UnrealIRCd 6. The plan is to 
have a stable 6.0.0 release the week before Christmas, so please help us 
test this (possibly last) Release Candidate to ensure it is good!
Fire up an U6 test server, link in an U6 server to your existing U5 
network, upgrade a server from U5 to U6 
<https://www.unrealircd.org/docs/Upgrading_from_5.x>. Test real-world 
scenarios and play around.
If you find any issues (big or small), then please report them at 
bugs.unrealircd.org <https://bugs.unrealircd.org/>. Similarly, if you 
are missing any documentation on U6 features, upgrading, or think some 
docs or instructions could be better, let us know as well.

The "Release Candidate" stage means that the code is expected to be of 
production quality. It should no longer crash or have major issues, but 
we need help from the public to verify that this is indeed the case.

*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.

How to get started:

    <https://github.com/unrealircd/unrealircd/blob/unreal60_dev/doc/RELEASE-NOTES.md#unrealircd-600-rc2>
