I hope more people are willing to test the release candidate this time, as previous time the 6.1.2-rc's were undertested and therefore 6.1.2 required several fix releases. Although it resulted in a nice version number in the end (6.1.2.3), it would be better if we can have a good release straight away this time

The main focus of this 6.1.3(-rc1) release is adding countermeasures against large scale spam/drones. We do this by offering a central API which can be used for accessing Central Blocklist, Central Spamreport and Central Spamfilter. See release notes for full details.
If you want to upgrade to this Release Candidate (RC) on *NIX, then use: ./unrealircd upgrade --rc
