I am guessing the current release does enough of what people want,
that there is no major drive for further development there.

Just about nothing for 2 years.

Ah yea, 2 years is a long time though I guess that means there might be additions
available to it since the last release.

It's not necessarily a bad thing; if the Ircd is feature-complete, meeting
operator needs and the needs of at least most users, and,
bug-free (as far as we know), then what more is there to work on?

Nothing is bug-free :) but I agree that its a very nice ircd, its efficient and easy to
run. It might meet operator needs but I dont think its necessarilly feature-complete.

The general view I had back in the day was that the main goal was to make it
as efficient as possible to cope with the fast growing userbase we had back then on
DALnet and to minimize impact on networking so features were kept to a minimum
and/or even scrapped from the original source. I dont have all the stats but I think
there should be some wiggle room in server load and networking today to allow for
new interesting features and from that hopefully lure some users back or attract
new users to the network. It perhaps just lacks that major drive for further
development as you put it, but I guess thats upto the management and for them
to map out the directions for it.

Sad to not have seen much progress on the ircd for the past few years though.
