UnrealIRCd 5 EOL

Very soon UnrealIRCd 5 will no longer be supported. It will no longer receive any bug fixes, including no security fixes.

Still using UnrealIRCd 5?
If you are still using UnrealIRCd 5.x then you should upgrade ASAP to UnrealIRCd 6. The configuration file requires only a few small changes. See the article Upgrading from 5.x for full information.

If you are using third party modules, then check with your vendor or on modules.unrealircd.org if they have been ported to 6.x. Otherwise, you can post the module source on the modules forum and ask if someone is kind enough to convert the module to 6.x.
