It's been too long since we had a release. Let's make a release based off master!
elemental-ircd 7.0-experimental
This release is pre-alpha. It is not intended to be used in production settings. Please be sure to report strange behavior or bugs.
This is one of the largest releases that we have done. It consists of 469 commits and is still very much in progress. Because this is a major release, we are taking the opportunity to also start deprecating things or behaviors that are nonsensical or undesirable.
This is tested and known to be working normally with Atheme services (or a fork) and optionally Tetra for extended services.
This release is ABI-incompatible with previous releases of elemental-ircd. As a part of migrating to the new version, please run the following commands in your ircd prefix before running make install:
#!/bin/sh
mv modules modules-6.6.2
mv bin bin-6.6.2
mv lib lib-6.6.2
mv help help-6.6.2
And be sure to recompile any custom modules with the new build system:
add your file to extensions/m_foo.c
add m_foo.la to the list of extensions in extensions/Makefile.am
rerun automake, ./configure, make and make install
