     Services 4.5pre5 has been released, and can be downloaded from:

ftp://ftp.esper.net/ircservices/ircservices-4.5pre5.tar.gz
ftp://ftp.esper.net/ircservices/ircservices-4.5pre5.diff.gz

The mirrors should have it shortly.

     This release fixes a problem discovered with IRC servers which
violate the RFC by treating [ and {, | and \, ] and } as different
characters in nicknames and channels.  Users of such servers, in
particular all DALnet-derived servers, should upgrade to pre5
immediately.

     I still do not have any updated language files; I would like to
release 4.5.0 soon, but it would be appreciated to have updated
language files before then.  If anyone is working on a language file
and needs more time to finish, please let me know.
