About time. Most software programs call their feature adding period of time an alpha. I wonder how many RCs there'll be.

Taken from the .RELEASE.NOTES file in Unreal3.2-RC1.tar.gz

Unreal3.2-RC1 Release Notes
============================

==[ GENERAL INFORMATION ]==
* Unreal3.2 is now no longer beta, Unreal has proven itself to be stable, therefore this version is called RC1 (Release Candicate 1)... After this we will release RC2, and hopefully after that 3.2 final. As a consequence of this, the old 3.1 series are no longer supported.
* If you are upgrading, make sure you run ./Config and make clean before doing make
* The official UnrealIRCd documentation is doc/unreal32docs.html online version at: http://www.vulnscan.org/UnrealIrcd/unreal32docs.html FAQ: http://www.vulnscan.org/UnrealIrcd/faq/ Read them before asking for help.
* Report bugs at http://bugs.unrealircd.org/
* This is a recommended release due to security fixes.

Yeah, I'm going to give it a week before trying it-usually takes about that long after a major release before a big hole is discovered, why crash my network twice for 2 installs Smile

Only known issue so far is:

...in under 24 hours. Glad I didn't upgrade yet.

Like I said, I'll wait a few days.

Almost EVERY IRCd has a bug that gets found within 24 hours, because then it is tested on a large scale.

UnrealIRCd is not the best IRCd, but the 3.2 versions are pretty good. They can in NO way be compared to the 3.1 ones.

I believe it is definately worth updating to this. Especially over "creatures" like UltimateIRCd.

I'm waiting 7 days then I'll go with it. The plan is there, barring no major sudden major exploits being found, I'll deploy slowly commencing then Smile

It's interesting to watch servers upgrade from Beta19 to RC1, as it is reflected in the ircd graph:

Rumor has it this morning there is a bug out on RC1, though I haven't logged into the support forums to see how bad it is.

Some kind of exploit is what this person told me, but like I said, I cannot confirm this.....if so, I'm glad I didn't upgrade yet Smile

Not an exploit, but an error in getting the server started is the actual issue:

Booting 3.2-RC1: - [error] Unable to create file 'tmp/5F641CC4.commands.so': No such file or directory

We had a report on Linux 2.2 and FreeBSD 4.8 of the following error during booting:
[error] Unable to create file 'tmp/5F641CC4.commands.so': No such file or directory
The strange thing is that Linux 2.4, Linux 2.6, FreeBSD 4.7 and FreeBSD 5.1 are unaffected by this bug so we missed it during testing

Looks like it won't affect everyone. A fix is out though for it Smile

Try typing mkdir ~/Unreal3.2/tmp before booting the IRCd
