Important Notice

The master branch contains the latest unstable development code. If you are running a server then you probably want to use a v3 release for now. You can obtain this from the releases page or by running git checkout $(git describe --abbrev=0 --tags insp3) if you are installing from Git.

About

InspIRCd is a modular C++ Internet Relay Chat (IRC) server for UNIX-like and Windows systems.

Supported Platforms

InspIRCd is supported on the following platforms:

• Most recent BSD variants using the Clang 5+ or GCC 7+ compilers and the GNU toolchains (Make, etc).

• Most recent Linux distributions using the Clang 5+ or GCC 7+ compilers and the GNU toolchain.

• The most recent three major releases of macOS using the AppleClang 10, Clang 5+, or GCC 7+ (not LLVM-GCC) compilers and the GNU toolchain.

• Windows 10 build 17061 or newer using the MSVC 19.15+ (Visual Studio 15.8 2017) compiler and CMake 3.20 or newer.

Other platforms and toolchains may also work but are not officially supported by the InspIRCd team. Generally speaking if you are using a reasonably modern UNIX-like system you should be able to build InspIRCd on it. If you can not and you wish to submit a patch we are happy to accept it as long as it is not extremely large.

If you encounter any bugs then please file an issue.

Installation

Most InspIRCd users running a UNIX-like system build from source. A guide about how to do this is available on the InspIRCd docs site.

Building from source on Windows is generally not recommended but a guide is available if you wish to do this.

Some distributions ship an InspIRCd package in their package managers. We generally do not recommend the use of such packages as in the past distributions have made broken modifications to InspIRCd and not kept their packages up to date with essential security updates.

Logo looks a bit sketchy on high-DPI screens

On high-DPI screens (such as phones and such) the logo on the site looks pretty pixelated. If anyone has a vector of the logo, feel free to throw it over and I can look at this.

Request: change layout for the wiki

Hey, this is somewhat related to #2 - but this request is taking it a bit further. We should make the wiki a good place to read and currently it's not.
If you take this:

Over this:

I would prefer to have something similar as the former.

Things that should be fixed at least are the identations of the headings, font-size, the syntax portions should have at least newlines when they are in the block.

Fixed font-size is not user-friendly

I really recommend switching to a relative font-size instead of a fixed 11px size. It would really improve the readability for most people, imho. While I understand people wanted to keep the original looks, but it wouldn't hurt to update to somewhat modern styles (I believe the current one dates from 2004 or something).

InspIRCd API link is broken

When reading an article on webpage an click to the 'InspIRCd API' link it'll end up in a 404 because it's a relative URL.
