Reminder: UnrealIRCd 5 is near its EOL-date

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

Hi everyone,

This is a friendly reminder that UnrealIRCd 5 will be End Of Life after 
_July 1, 2023_. After that date, it will be completely unmaintained and 
won't even get security fixes anymore.

*The end of UnreaIRCd 5*
UnrealIRCd 5.0.0 was released on Dec 13, 2019, so this will conclude the 
end of 3,5 years of UnrealIRCd 5. The first announcement about the EOL 
date was in October 2021. For full details and the timeline, see 
https://www.unrealircd.org/docs/UnrealIRCd_5_EOL. We are also listed at 
this great website for keeping track of EOL dates: 
https://endoflife.date/unrealircd

*Are you still using UnrealIRCd 5?*
We recommend anyone running UnrealIRCd 5 (or older) to upgrade to 
UnrealIRCd 6.0.7.
UnrealIRCd 6 has proven to be stable and has lots of useful features. 
Two weeks ago UnrealIRCd 6.0.7 was released and it has been downloaded 
300 times already.
If you have no idea what's new, then check out
