UnrealIRCd 6.0.0 released

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

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.
