The mirrors should have it shortly.

     This release includes the workaround for the problem with Anope
encrypted passwords raised recently on the mailing list.  To activate the
workaround, add the following lines to your modules.conf file (but note
that this can reduce the security of your passwords--see the relevant part
of Appendix A in the manual):

Module encryption/md5
    EnableAnopeWorkaround
EndModule

     The bug causing crashes when importing some Anope databases has also
been fixed, and support has been added to convert-db for recent versions of
Epona as well.
