 title: New IRC Server Code Approaches Release
+---
+
+Hi all. As you probably know, we're in the process of testing release candidates for dancer-ircd 1.0.32, the next production IRC server code for  freenode.  Since the last news item, we've continued to test and debug, and we've made some progress.  [The change list is here](http://freenode.net/news-2003-05-28.shtml#changes).
+
+In addition to some bug-squashing, we've now modified services to allow us to mlock +Jrz and -Jrz, as well as +PF and -PF with the help of network staff.  Ben Reser has kindly produced a  [script](http://ben.reser.org/irssi/format_identify.pl)  for  [irssi](http://www.irssi.org/)  which takes advantage of the new CAPAB IDENTIFY-MSG support to display an unambiguous indication in each line whether the person speaking (or doing an ACTION) is identified to services.  **This should make it quite a bit harder to spoof nicknames.** To use the script in irssi, simply follow the instructions in the comments section.
+
 **We could use your help** in creating similar scripts for **xchat** and the other **free software** IRC clients, and even for **mIRC**, to help those who are stuck using Microsoft products to connect to the network.
 
 We're approaching release and, again, **we need your help.** **Please come to the testnet** on  [irc.freenode.net, port 9001](irc://irc.freenode.net:9001/)  and help us find bugs!  Stop by #kline-me if you'd like to help us thrash the bugs out of our KLINE/UNKLINE/REHASH changes.  Or just take a look at the following (slightly updated) change list, and at our older   [reference manual](http://source.freenode.net/%7Easuffield/dancer/dancer-oper-guide/dancer-oper-guide/),  not yet updated, to look for features to test.
