UnrealIRCd is an open source IRC daemon for Amiga, Linux, BSD, Mac OS X, Solaris, HP-UX and Windows (NT4/2K/XP/2003).
UnrealIRCd is an IRC server based off of Dalnet's old Dreamforge IRCd. Since development started on it, around May 1999, many new features have been added, modified, some of which include advanced security features and bug fixes.
Version 3.2.7, released July 14, 2007, is the latest stable version. The current development tree is 3.3*. UnrealIRCd is released under the GNU General Public License.
According to SearchIRC's statistics, UnrealIRCd is used on the largest number of servers. The largest IRC networks, however, do not use it because they have their own IRCd's which they maintain themselves, so it may not necessarily be the IRC daemon with the largest number of users.
Future
On July 13, 2007 Stskeeps announced that the future Unreal4.0 would be a fork of InspIRCd.
