Hi All!
Finally, here it is: ngIRCd 18 has been released today!
Since our 2nd release candidate, a preliminary protocol module for the upcoming Anope 1.9 services package has been added to our contrib/ directory, our documentation has been slightly updated, and no WHOWAS information will be leaked when disabling „MorePrivacy“ mode during runtime.
Please see doc/Services.txt and contrib/Anope/README if you are interested in using ngIRCd 18 with the development branch 1.9.x of Anope IRC services! Latest tested release of Anope is 1.9.4, there is no guarantee that it will work with newer versions, because the 1.9 branch of Anope is under heavy development …
Since release 17.1, there is quite a bit of new functionality with new configuration options like „MorePrivacy“, „ScrubCTCP“, „RequireAuthPing“, „ NoticeAuth“, „CloakHost“ and „CloakUserToNick“; a new channel mode „O“ („IRC Ops only“); support for ZeroConf service registration has been removed; and, quite prominent, the restructuring of the ngircd.conf configuration file.
Please have a look at our GIT history or the NEWS and ChangeLog files for the whole story:
