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.
- Be sure you include as much information about replicating the issue as you can. Debug logs are the most helpful.
Anope IRC Services - Changes with 2.0 Frequently Asked Questions
- Where did MLOCK Go?
- Use /msg ChanServ MODE Channel LOCK {SET|ADD} modes
- See /msg ChanServ HELP MODE for more details.
- Why does my chanserv password show up in the channel description? / Where is my ChanServ Password
- ChanServ no longer requires passwords when registering channels. It is linked to your NickServ account instead. They new syntax is /msg ChanServ REGISTER channel description. 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.
- Where did defcon go?
- Defcon is now disabled by default. You simply need to enable it in operserv.conf
- Where is the selection for <my language>?
- This is done via nickserv. If nickserv's help set language does not list your language then you need to make sure locale is properly installed on your system. For *nix this is usually done during installation, and can be added via your system's package manager. Each system's method is different, but Debian based distributions will usually use apt-get install locale, while Opensuse will use zypper install locale, other flavors of linux and unix may use similar commands.
- Where did the NICKSERV GHOST and RELEASE commands go?
- Both commands were replaced by the RECOVER command. You still can activate this command by editing your nickserv.conf. (search for "ghost" to find the right place)
