ngIRCd Release 13
by Alexander Barton
Hi all!
The next stable release of ngIRCd has been published: ngIRCd 13.
Starting with this release, the version numering scheme has been
canged: The leading "0" is stripped off, so we have
"<major>[.<minor>]" now. So ngIRCd 13 is the direct successor of
ngIRCd 0.12.1.
The most prominet changes are support for SSL encrypted client-server
and server-server links using OpenSSL or GNUTLS (see doc/SSL.txt),
support for IRC services (see doc/Services.txt), and server-local
channels with prefix "&". And as usual, lots of minor enhancements and
bug fixes are included as well.
Since the release candidate 13~rc1 only minor changes have been
committed, mostly to enhance the documentation and to fix the testsuite.
Thanks a lot to all contributors!
In addition, the ngIRCd website has been revised. Thanks go to Götz

by Alexander Barton
Hi!
Andrew Church released the next version of IRC Services today, which
includes fixes that obsolete all required patches/workarounds to make
them work with ngIRCd 13~rc1 (and the final release 13).
Great news I think :-)
