More than three years have passed since the last release of ngIRCd – a free, portable and lightweight Internet Relay Chat server for small or private networks – and more than 130 individual patches have accumulated in the Git “master branch” in the meantime. Some are cosmetic, some bring new functionality, others improve the documentation or fix bugs. All in all, it’s more than time for the next “big” release of ngIRCd!

And here it is, ngIRCd release 27! 🎉 https://github.com/ngircd/ngircd/releases/tag/rel-27

      IRC by itself is really ancient and certainly has drawbacks but given the amount of mobile apps, desktop apps and web apps for it and the fact that anyone can easily join as guest without needing to hand out any information (email address, name, phone number) is hard to beat. Things like Discord, revolt.chat, Matrix, SimpleX Chat, Session and team chat like Mattermost, RocketChat, Zulip have their users and its benefits in the open source world.
