ngIRCd project is an Open Source server for the Internet Relay Chat (IRC). ngIRCd means "next generation IRC daemon", it's written from scratch and not deduced from the "grandfather of IRC daemons", the daemon of the IRCNet.

Here are some key features of "ngIRCd":
no problems with servers which have dynamic IP addresses
simple, easy understandable configuration file,
freely published open-source C source code,
ngIRCd will be developed on in the future.
wide field of supported platforms, including AIX, A/UX, FreeBSD, HP-UX, IRIX, Linux, Mac OS X, NetBSD, OpenBSD, Solaris, and Windows with Cygwin.

Installation:

./configure
make
make install

What's New in This Release:
This release introduces a more efficient I/O subsystem that can use special APIs of Linux and BSD variants (epoll() and kqueue()), enhances the security of the daemon (does reverse DNS lookups, and uses the -fstack-protector GCC switch if available), and enhances some IRC commands.
