UnrealIRCd is an IRC daemon for Amiga, Linux, BSD, MacOS X, Solaris, HP-UX and Windows (95/98/ME NT4/2K/XP/2003)
UnrealIRCd is an IRC server based on the branch of ircd.dal called Dreamforge, formerly used by the DALnet IRC Network. 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.
searchirc.com statistics list it as the IRC daemon which has the largest number of separate installations. The largest IRC networks, however, do not use it, 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.
