with no commits to 3.3 or 4 in the past 6 months to year, id say unreal is dead in the water. I hope so. Lord lets hope that goddaweful inspircd doesnt take its place. Its twice as aweful.

sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but unreal4 is going to be a fork of inspircd :p

Thats ok, the grapevine tells me that several very experienced coders are going to ensure that inspircd wont be what the hype leads everyone to think.

I wouldn't count Unreal as dead just yet, several other packages have gone as long or longer without any progress.

Epona went 2 years with no activity at all and *POOF* completely re-written with live SQL, Anope isn't far off. It's been 8 months since the last development release, yet there are about 40 lines of fixes in svn with 1.8 stable closer than ever.

So just because you don't see anything, done't mean it's not happening.

As far as I know, Unreal 3.2.8 is planned for "summer 2008"

I'd rather like to see it somehow a bit later than scheduled than having a very bugging 3.2.8.

Unreal is not dead, technically.

I can't speak for 'Unreal 4.0' as it has seemingly stalled a bit, however 3.3 is still in development and technical specifications stage, of which a 'Commit' is not going to be made to for quite a time because its no longer a 3.2 'Update/Recode', its basically branched off into a complete from-scratch idea and an attempt to try and take some new standards into play, full ISUPPORT implementation, CAPAB, and yes 3.3 will be implementing some ideas of InspIRCd (Same-port SSL, a more manageable oper system) amongst many other things.

Also to note, I can't speak for 3.2.8 either, though Syzop has recently made some patch fixes to it, so he might have a release for it planned soon.

Just keep an eye on the site, still trying to finish up all the tech specs for the features and server<->server crap, when I do I'll at least announce that with full information on the entire 3.3 gameplan.
