Recent network news


3rd February 2010 - Updated IRCd deployed

Now that we have had a chance to test the changes made to our ircd software, we are pleased to announce that we have now deployed the new ircd onto the main network.

Instead of delinking, updating and then relinking individual servers over a period of time, we have chosen to build an entirely new network and have users connect to it. This avoids unnecessary disruption from netsplits, and means we don't run into any problems with compatibility between the old and new version.

We have updated the main round-robin and individual servername hosts to resolve to the new network. If you find yourself still connecting to the old network due to caching, then please try connecting to ircnew.swiftirc.net instead. If you are still having difficulties then connect to 94.23.157.150 directly.

23rd December 2009 - SwiftIRC test network

As you might be aware, over the past few months we have made some modifications to our IRC server software. Unfortunately many of these changes were incomplete or even introduced new problems.

We now have a newer version that we believe is ready to be used on SwiftIRC - however, we would first like to expose this new version to some real users. Thus we have installed the new software on a small "test network".

We would invite anyone interested to join this network at irc.dev.swiftirc.net - we would like for people to use the network as they normally would, as wel as try out some of the new features detailed in our change log here: http://www.swiftirc.net/ircd_changes.txt (note, this is a somewhat technical list).

We have a feedback topic set up at http://forum.swiftirc.net/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=23411 and welcome any bug reports or opinions on our changes.
