UnrealIRCd 6.2.4-rc1 available for testing

[Syzop]

The Release Candidate for future version 6.2.4 is now available for testing. The stable version is scheduled later thins month.

UnrealIRCd 6.2.4-rc1 comes with optional multiline support and a lot of new conditional config and crule functions, plus a new GeoIP engine. A bug has been fixed that would confuse services with +e/+I extbans. A compile issue on arm64 and a Windows crash bug have been resolved as well.

All the information can be found in the release notes.

You can help us by testing this release and reporting bugs to https://bugs.unrealircd.org/

As always, you can download UnrealIRCd from www.unrealircd.org. If you want to upgrade on *NIX, then use: ./unrealircd upgrade --rc

The link to download the Windows version appears to be broken: it redirects to the homepage.

edit: right click on link, save as worked

Yeah I put the release online before the Windows compile finished.. then saw a mistake and had to recompile again, so not your fault

Just to confirm... If I want to use the new geoip engine, I must recompile, not use the ./unrealircd upgrade --rc way ?

Yes, that would be easiest: re-running ./Config that prompts. Though you could also do this in your conf to choose explicitly:

Code: Select all

@define $NO_DEFAULT_GEOIP "1"
loadmodule "geoip_mmdb";

The idea is to get the geoip_mmdb module used by at least part of the users and then in 6.2.5 we make it the default for everyone (including upgrades).

Sorry, personally I only tend to read the forums once in a while, which sometimes means 2-3 weeks later
