  34 <PRE>     Services 5.1a1 has been released, and can be downloaded from:

  44 The mirrors should have it shortly.
  45
  46      I've finally finished implementing the new database format, and it's
  47 included in this version as the new database/standard module.  I said it
  48 before, but I'll say it again since it's particularly relevant to this
  49 release:  BACK UP YOUR DATA because alpha versions (particularly this one)
  50 may eat it!
  51
  52      I've also made the new database module the default in the example
  53 ircservices.conf file, so if you use that as is then your old data won't
  54 get loaded at all.  Instructions for converting from the old database
  55 format to the new one can be found in the &quot;Upgrading&quot; section of the
  56 manual.
  57
  58      (And no, I'm not ignoring mail on this list. (:  I just wanted to get
  59 this done first.)

  61 Changes in version 5.1a1
  62 ------------------------
  63 2006/01/09      Finished implementing the database/standard module, and
  64                     made it the default in the example configuration file.
  65 2006/01/08      Removed no-longer-needed new_suspendinfo() and
  66                     free_suspendinfo() functions.
  67 2006/01/08      Moved SuspendInfo structure directly into NickGroupInfo and
  68                     ChannelInfo structures rather than using pointers.
  69 2006/01/07      Added ACCLEV_MAX and ACCLEV_MIN constants to explicitly
  70                     define ChanServ access levels, rather than relying on
  71                     ACCLEV_FOUNDER and ACCLEV_INVALID.
  72 2006/01/04      Fixed a bug in writing generic database tables.
  73 2006/01/04      Fixed a bug in the Unreal protocol module causing user
  74                     fakehost masks to get set to the user's mode string.
  75 2005/11/23      Added support for writing generic tables (using the new
  76                     database format) in the database/version4 module.
