[AC-Admins] New version of UnrealIRCd is out

[Scott Garron]

      UnrealIRCd released version 3.2.9 at the beginning of the month.
  I think that provides somewhat of an excuse and opportunity to do an
upgrade and get all of the servers on the same page (again).

      In addition, I've written a small patch to the channel invite
routine to check whether or not a user already has an invite to a
channel before sending another notice to the user.  This cuts down on
the annoyance that has been victimizing some users where client-based
ignore doesn't always ignore invite notifications, allowing "persistent"
users to get repeated notifications through a conventional /ignore.
 From a purely logical standpoint, it doesn't make sense to notify the
user of subsequent invites to a channel if they've already been notified
and haven't yet used it to join the channel.

      The patch is at:

http://www.anthrochat.net/~simba/anthrochat/alreadyinvited.patch

Just:

      patch -p0 < alreadyinvited.patch

... from the Unreal3.2 source tree before compiling the new version.

      It also helps to copy your conf and SSL certificate files into the
base directory of the source tree before doing the ./Config and make so
that a make install puts the right things into the installation
directory.  It's also good practice to make a backup copy of your
existing, working installation directory before doing a make install in
case it overwrites something that you weren't expecting.

      Speaking of SSL certificate files:  I think most, if not all of the
certificates being used by the AnthroChat servers are expired.  Cheetah,
you had been previously handling distribution of "catsden.net" signed
certificates to all of the servers.  If you're willing to continue that
service, what do you need from the rest of us to get us renewed certs?
