1 This is a port of the ircd-ratbox IRC daemon.
3 This version is the 'testing' branch; it usually contains more features,
4 but may contain as of yet unidentified bugs. Admins wishing to try out new
5 features or test the development release may prefer to use it over the
6 standard production release.
8 ircd-ratbox is the primary ircd used on EFnet; it combines the stability
9 of an ircd required for a large production network together with a rich
10 set of features, making it also suitable for use on smaller networks.
13 o Optional SSL support to enable encrypted connections between clients
14 and servers, as well as server to server links.
15 o Add support for SSL only channels, channel mode +S.
16 o sqlite3 for handling and storing k/x/d lines.
17 o Support for global CIDR limits.
18 o Added adminwall allowing admins to broadcast messages to each other.
19 o Creation of new library archive 'libratbox'.
20 o Support for forced nick changes (instead of collision kills).
21 o New ssld and bandb processes for SSL connections and ban checking;
22 these allow ratbox-3 to make better use of multi-processor systems.
