Anope has officially released v1.9.6 as of Feb. 3rd, 2012. This release has some major changes. Not only adds and fixes but some interior changes as well.

As of 1.9.6, Anope has changed some of the configuration, so it is recommended that users upgrading should start with a fresh configuration file.
