IRC Bouncer ZNC 0.090 has been released

Sunday, June 6th, 2010

psychon of the ZNC Bouncer project has just tagged version 0.090 of their popular IRC connection bouncing software.

The new version is a major improvement in terms of features and bugfixes which is also noticeable in the large jump in version numbers from the last release, version 0.080.

The biggest change users of the previous versions will notice is the new Webadmin interface which has gotten both a feature-wise as well as a look&feel makeover. The HTTP server now has moved into ZNCs core which gives all modules the possibility to interact with the Webinterface – 3 of the modules that ship with ZNC already make use of this (lastseen, stickychan and notes).

IRCDriven.com shuts down

Sunday, June 6th, 2010

Daniel, the developer and webmaster of IRCDriven.com has closed down his website due to “time constraints, lack of interest and a lack of developers and staff”. The site will be shut down “indefinitely until we can come back with a better approach” he writes in his announcement.

The site – when it was still operational – was an indexing service for IRC networks, had community forums and amongst other things also a Wiki with IRC-related information.

He however writes that in the meantime development on the site will continue and upon the anticipated relaunch the website will feature a “more web 2.0 look”, new features and improvements on the old feature-set.
