The Austhex IRCD is the irc daemon used on Austnet.

The protocols described here implement TimeStamps on IRC channels and nicks. The idea of IRC TimeStamps was started on Undernet, and first implemented by Run .

The protocols used here are not exactly the same as the ones used on Undernet; the nick-kill handling is very similar and must be credited to Run, while the
"TimeStamped channel description" protocol is quite different.

TSora servers keep track of which version of the TS protocol (if any) their neighboring servers are using, and take it into account when sending messages to them. This allows for seamless integration of TS servers into a non-TS net, and for upgrades of the protocol.

Each server knows which is the lowest and the highest version of the TS protocol it can interact with; currently both of these are set to 1:

#define TS_CURRENT 1 /* the highest TS ver we can do */
#define TS_MIN 1 /* the lowest TS ver we can do */
