	Status
</h3>
<p>
	The current stable version is
	<strong>Release 28</strong> of July 12 2026,
	please refer to the <a href="download.php.en">Download</a>
	options.
</p>
<p>
	ngIRCd is used as the daemon in real-world in-house and public IRC
	networks and included in the package repositories of various operating
	systems.
</p>
<h3 id="history">
	History
</h3>
<p>
	Development of ngIRCd started back in 2001: The server has been written
	from scratch in C, tries to follow all relevant standards, and is not
	based on the forefather, the daemon of the IRCNet.
</p>
<p>
	It is not the goal of ngIRCd to implement all the nasty behaviors of
	the original ircd or corner-cases in the RFCs, but to implement most of
	the useful commands and semantics that are used by existing clients.
</p>
<p class="security">
	<strong>Caution:</strong>
	ngIRCd up to and including release 27 has a bug, which can result in
	100% CPU usage on a single core (DoS) while handling certain malicious
	connections. <strong>All installations should be upgraded to ngIRCd 28
	(released July 12, 2026) or newer!</strong>
