Anope 1.8.7 - Release
The Anope Team are pleased to announce the immediate availability of Anope IRC Services 1.8.7 which contains a small number of changes including support for Hybrid channel modes +S and +O & additional internal events for certain situation offering flexibility to Module Authors.
The small number of bug fixes in this 7 month period since the last 1.8 release goes a long way to show how stable Anope 1.8 has and continues to be for the community.
This release is recommended for all networks running earlier 1.8 releases and as always we recommend taking a good back up and testing your modules and database in a testing environment before upgrading.

Anope 1.9.5 Release
The Anope Team are proud to announce the release of Anope 1.9.5. This release continues the development of our development branch in creating the next generation Anope 2.0 stable.
The configuration has been split up in to multiple separate files, so any admins switching from older 1.9 versions may want to completely redo their configuration file (and enjoy the new options!).
Some of the notable changes include:
Extended LDAP support
Added os_oper, os_kill, os_forbid, m_statusupdate, cs_sync, and bs_autoassign
Added a new configuration file format
Added a new commands system
Added a new access system, and cs_flags
Additionally, we have taken the time to patch the previous 1.9.4 release and are releasing it as 1.9.4-p1, for those who prefer to stay on the more stable side of 1.9 development.
Last, but not least, our project leader chaz has stepped down after leading the Anope Team for almost three years to attend to real life. Chaz was instrumental in late 1.7 development and releasing 1.8 stable, as well as kick starting 1.9 development off to its bright future. We thank him greatly for the time he has put in to Anope to make it better and we wish him the best of luck in life. DukePyrolator has stepped up from his role as a developer to fill the open position of project leader.

Anope 1.9.3-p1 & Anope 1.9.4 Releases
The Anope Team are pleased to announce the release of two development builds.
Firstly, 1.9.3-p1 which is a patch release of 1.9.3 with fixes/etc for that particular branch and then a release of 1.9.4 which has the fixes from 1.9.3-p1 where appropriate together with heaps more development on top.
Admins running 1.9.3 at the moment have two choices, update to 1.9.3-p1 as a small upgrade to improve the stability of 1.9.3 (but it’s still dev!), or upgrade to 1.9.4 which carries larger risks as this branch has received much more development but has lots more new shiny features for you to play with.
We make these releases available to you to help find issues and improve the stability whilst we continue to drive the direction of development forward.
We welcome admins to try these releases and find bugs and suggest improvements but please be aware that these are not to be considered stable so do not complain if they crash and burn or eat your dinner.
We continue to make great progress on the development of Anope and once again I take my hat off to the team and especially to Adam for the time and effort he puts into this product. He is clearly a master of the 28 hour day.
Changes in 1.9.3-p1
F Fixed bad logic in /os exception preventing valid hosts from being added
F Fixed /os sqline clear
F Fixed not applying SQLines to our own clients
F Fixed crash from deleting nonexistant users on the XOP access lists
F Fixed crash when /cs set mlock is given an empty string
F Fixed a potential crash from expiring nicks
F Fixed build on Debian Lenny
F Fixed /bs badword del to show what word was deleted
F Fixed using /ns release with a password
F Fixed allowing setting a valid TTB with /bs kick repeat
F Fixed caps kicker
F Fixed many SQL issues
F Fixed reading resolv.conf if it has multiple spaces or tabs
F Fixed creating permanent channels on burst and setting their topics
F Fixed /cs register to show in HELP
F Fixed restricting people from registering guest nick names
F Fixed a potential crash from dropping nicks
Changes in 1.9.4
A Automatically set channel founder to the user with the highest access if there is no successor
A /chanserv clone command to copy settings from one channel to another.
A /chanserv mode command
A Ability for users to delete their own access in channels
A Added support for Plexus 3
A Readded in support for /cs op/deop/etc to op/deop you in all channels
A Added LDAP support
A Added live SQL support
A Added support for learning tracking/storing/locking all modes at runtime
A Added m_alias

Anope 1.8.5 Released
The Anope Team is pleased to announce the immediate availability of Anope 1.8.5 (Stable) which introduces InspIRCd 2.0 support and refines the support of earlier versions.
Other noteable changes include:
-
Support for building on MS Visual Studio 2010 (we still build the binary releases on VS2008)
-
Improved logging facilities.
-
Optional mail forking (for non Windows OS)
-
Many many bug fixes (encourage all users to upgrade once tested)
As always we encourage all users of the stable branch to upgrade to the latest version when they are able to. Of course as per normal procedure you should run this on your testnet with your modules & databases before going live.
Finally, I write with some disappointment at the poor show of people willing to test this release. .
Too few people were willing to help us test this release which has delayed things considerably even to the point where I wasn’t going to bother until people actually did take part. I then decided this was unfair to those who did bother and to that end here it is.
My thanks as always go to the folks who did bother; you guys know who you are and we’re grateful for your continued support.
We would welcome more support in the future to avoid potential release delays. Contact me if you are interested.
