The QuakeNet IRC network did a major overhaul of its major channel service Q.
“As many of you have noticed we’ve just upgraded our main channel service, Q, to a new version,” meeb announced on the QuakeNet website.
The upgrade consists of a complete rewrite of the bot and includes all old functionality and adds some new ones. Channels who previously used L have been upgraded to the new Q as well.
Bot response messages to commands have been changed. IRC-Junkie tried to ask QuakeNet whether problems have risen with scripts depending on these messages but we have had no reply.
New functionality includes channel statistics, channel- user- and personal-flags, new give owner command and lots more which can be found described in detail here
Anders says:
Looks like it’s not open source, which is unfortunate. The code to their old services was available, although the Q and O sources are kind of dated now.
