Hi everyone,
We are happy to announce UnrealIRCd 6.0.0! This is the first stable
release of UnrealIRCd 6.
Many thanks to k4be for his help during development, other contributors
for their feedback and patches, the people who tested the beta’s and
release candidates, translators and everyone else who made this release
happen!
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.
If you are a bit cautious or depend on 3rd party modules (many of which
have been upgraded yet by their authors), then feel free to wait for a
6.0.1 or 6.0.2 release. The previous stable version, UnrealIRCd 5, will
receive bug fixes until July 1, 2022, followed by another 12 months of
security fixes.
