UnrealIRCd 6.0.5-rc1 available for testing

Post by Syzop »

The release candidate for 6.0.5 is now available for testing. You can help us by testing and reporting any issues at https://bugs.unrealircd.org/.

This release adds experimental JSON-RPC support which can be used by a web panel or other interface (this is work in progress). There's a new TLINE command to test *LINES, useful for e.g. /TLINE ~C:NL. Logging to files has been improved and some other enhancements. One notable change is that by default we now require TLSv1.2 (or higher) for IRC clients and a modern cipher. This should be no problem for clients using any reasonably new SSL/TLS library (from 2014 or later). Another notable change is that servers that have websockets now also need to load the "webserver" module.

See the release notes for information on all new features and fixes.

As always, you can download UnrealIRCd from unrealircd.org.

You can also use the following command to upgrade to the release candidate:

Code: Select all

./unrealircd upgrade --rc
