ngIRCd 16 has been released

Monday, May 3rd, 2010

Alexander Barton of the ngIRCd project just announced on their mailing-list the immediate availability of version 16 of their IRC daemon.

After 1 month of testing and 2 release candidates, the final release is available to download and use.

The most notable changes since ngIRCd version 15 according to the announcement are various fixes to the build system and code cleanups, a new numeric (RPL_STATSCONN 250) that displays a few enhanced connection statistics to clients on connect and adding the missing documentation for the “Password” variable.

ngIRCd version 13 released

Friday, December 26th, 2008

The ngIRCd project has announced the availability of a new stable version of their IRCd, version 13.

Starting with this release “the leading “0″ is stripped off, so we have  “<major>[.<minor>]” now. So ngIRCd 13 is the direct successor of  ngIRCd 0.12.1.”

A lot of progress has been made since the last stable release, 0.12.1 – the biggest changes are support for SSL encrypted connections both between servers and clients to servers using either OpenSSL or GnuTLS. The IRCd now also supports local-server channels that are prefixed with & instead of global #-prefixed channels.
