Anope developer chaz announced the immediate availability of a new Anope services release in their stable branch which is now at version 1.8.4.

The new release contains a number of “fixes and some further compatibility with InspIRCd 1.2″ but also some new features like tracking of deletes and clearings of XOP access lists and tracking of permanent channels have been introduced.
chaz reveals that there will be some new functionality for their module repository shortly which will “mass build” modules for each new release so prospective users don’t need to rely on the modules author to supply a pre-compiled version of his work.

The irssi project just released version 0.8.15 of their commandline IRC client.
This updated version fixes two security issues: a “hard to exploit” remote crash bug and one where the client didn’t check the hostname on SSL connections, so this release is a recommended update.

But besides quite a few bugfixes there are feature additions too: Among others, irssi now shows why a SSL certificate failed validation, paste detection has been improved and quiet-bans (+q) of Charybdis-based IRCds are now displayed in the channel window.

Little over two months ago, Khaled Mardam-Bey announced in the mIRC forums that there’ll soon be a public Beta-test of a new version of mIRC.
And just yesterday the Beta of mIRC 7.0 has been made available for download and testing for users that are willing to put up with it being “buggy and crashing often”.
The new version finally has Unicode support which required “tens of thousands of changes to 150,000+ lines of source code” and is the “most complex and time-consuming update to mIRC since it was created in 1995″.

The free Flash IRC client lightIRC has been released on April 1st and that totally wasn’t an April Fools joke.
lightIRC 0.9.9 Channel View
The webchat client adds new translations for Greek, Portuguese, Italian, Catalan and Bulgarian and is now available in a whopping total of 20 languages.
The need to access an authentication-file on lightirc.com has been removed and therefore it can now run on a LAN without any kind of Internet-access.

Just kidding *cough* – just as y’all have guessed it was an April Fools joke.. But hey, we weren’t the only ones to pull a little prank on that occasion.
The InspIRCd project announced the “latest greatest innovation in IRC technology” which is the “best thing since sliced bread,the InspIRCd-only /SACONNECT command”. But uhhh – what exactly is and does that?
