We’re pleased to announce the latest release of the Anope stable branch; 1.8.4.
This release brings a list of fixes generally, and some further compatibility with InspIRCd 1.2.
As always we recommend you test the new version out in a testnet environment with your database and third party modules before considering upgrading.
We are in the process of also adding the functionality to our modules site (http://modules.anope.org/) to ‘mass’ build modules for Windows each time there is a new release from us which should hopefully help Windows’ users make decisions upon upgrading irrespective of whether the module author has produced a new dll for them.

Anope 1.8.4 – Release
Apr 5
Inspircd 2.0 beta 2
Mar 19
Enough has been done on 2.0 that it’s probably a good idea to release another beta. There is now an unofficial feature freeze on 2.0, and hopefully the protocol won’t need any further tweaks. Linking with 1.2.x servers is still supported as it has been throughout the entire 2.0 line.
We need people to test 2.0, especially in a live environment. Since it can link to 1.2 servers, it’s possible to link a test server to an existing network and get real network traffic, while (hopefully) restricting any stability issues from the new code to the test server. Alternatively, contact us on IRC if you would like information on linking to the inspircd dev/QA testnet.
I have one VPS with DMEhosting for about almost a half year already. Recently, I just got an announcement that they allow IRC related stuffs in their unmanaged VPS. That’s great!
They have very cheap unmanaged linux vps plan which I never found any before. They named their unmanaged VPS to Budget VPS now. Here is the cheapest plan:
- Disk Space: 20GB
- Memory: 256MB
- Burst Memory: 386MB
- Bandwidth: 700GB
- Virtualization: OpenVZ

Just $5.95/month
The setup is instant activation after the invoice is paid. You might also find they have 50% promotion in webhostingtalk. Nowadays, I use this budget VPS for backup and a tiny IRC node to my friend’s network.

Well, I almost forget to mention about KhmerIRC network. It was born in 2005. Some IRC chatters might already know about this network. Currently, they have only one IRC server node. You can connect them with this following address: /server irc.khmerirc.net. Unfortunately, some ISP’s block the access to this server for some various reasons.
Before, they used UnrealIRCD with Anope. Now, the netadmin had switched IRCD software to new modern Inspircd.
