  12 We're pleased to announce the latest release of the Anope stable branch; 1.8.4.
  13
  14 This release brings a list of fixes generally, and some further compatibility with InspIRCd 1.2.
  15
  16 As always we recommend you test the new version out in a testnet environment with your database and third party modules before considering upgrading.
  17
  18 We are in the process of also adding the functionality to our modules site (https://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.

  58 In a fairly unusual move for us I'd like to dedicate this release to Adam as not only is he a development machine but he's a genuinely nice guy and we're very grateful for the time and effort he puts into the project. If anyone in the real world is looking for a young developer with an incredibly bright future get in touch; he's definitely worth your time.

  60 On the roadmap for the near future we're in the middle of rewriting the socket system for 1.9.2, and having just introduced a SQL Interface which whilst not being "live SQL" as most will think this provides a sensible and easy to use commands table which Anope will process at intervals so you can in theory do anything via SQL that you could do from an IRC client and yes, this will open the doors to web system integration etc and we've provided a small php page to demonstrate this. (Usual warnings that trunk will probably eat your breakfast and make fun of your wife. Hint, do not use it in a production environment.)
  61
  62 It's busy times here and what with our friends over at InspIRCd working on 2.0 and 2.1 of their software we are predicting quite a productive year for IRC as a whole and that's something I'm sure we're all excited about and glad to hear. Onwards and upwards.

  64 As always, if you are interested in helping / working with us in any way please do get in touch (chaz@anope.org), & thank you of course to our <a href="https://www.anope.org/sponsors.php">sponsors</a> for their selfless kindness.

  66 Finally, Happy Easter to those who celebrate it.
