Anope IRC Services - 2.0 General Frequently Asked Questions

When was Anope 2.0 Released? 

Anope 2.0 was released stable: March 23rd, 2014.

How long was Anope 2.0 In Development? 

Anope 2.0 Development lasted for about 5 years before stable was released.

When will Anope stop supporting 1.8/1.9? 

Because Anope 2.0 is considered the latest "stable" version, we strongly recommend upgrading as soon as possible. However, we will continue to provide 1.8/1.9 support until 1 year past the release date of Anope 2.0 (March 23rd, 2015 is when support stops.)

Why should I update to 2.0? 

Why not? Anope 2.0 is the lastest version. Just like when you update the anti-virus software on your computer, it's important to keep Anope updated. Anope 2.0 includes the implementation of many old modules of 1.8 and 1.9, (meaning they are now included with a basic installation.) Anope 2.0 also includes security fixes, and many new and improved features.

Where can I get support for Anope? 

We offer "live" support, *FOR ANOPE ONLY* (This does not include modules), on irc.anope.org in #anope. There, our contributors and team members can assist you with any problems.

Does Anope offer Development Support? 

On our IRC Network, you can join #anope-devel to discuss Anope Development.

Is there Anope Support in other languages? 

Anope's wiki translates into multiple languages for the ease of our users. You can also join #anope.fr #anope.es or #anope.de for language support on our IRC Network.

Are there any other places I can get Anope Support?

Although it is the preferred method, If you are not available to use the IRC Network for support, you can post for support on our Forums.

I think I found a bug in Anope! What do I do? 

Please report all bugs on Mantis Bug Tracker.

If you registered your channel, and your password is in your description, you should /msg ChanServ DROP #channel, then re-register. This change also includes the removal of Chanserv IDENTIFY, and ChanServ LOGOUT.
