Bahamut 2.0 released
Date: 04/09/2011
Author: Kobi_S
The DALnet Coding Team has released Bahamut 2.0.0.
The following announcement was sent by epiphani:
Greetings All,

One year and two days after the release of Bahamut 1.8.9, we've
released Bahamut 2.0.0.

This update contains full IPv6 support and cleans up issues with
64-bit builds, as well as a number of small changes. Below is the
full change list, and I'd like to extend special thanks to Ned and
Emilio for IPv6 and 64-bit fixes respectively.

DALnet Admins: You are free to upgrade on your own timetables.
However, this is essential: do NOT configure any v6 listeners until
it has been cleared with the coding team and SRA. Until the entire
network is upgraded, IPv6 support MUST not be used.

The software is available at:

Thank you all!
