Support for Services has been tested using
- - Anope 1.9.4 or later (<http://www.anope.org/>)

- "IRC Services" 5.1.x by Andrew Church (<http://achurch.org/services/>)
Setting up Anope 1.9.x
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-Anope 1.9.4 (and above) can be used with ngIRCd using a preliminary "ngircd"
-protocol module contained in our contrib/Anope/ directory. Please see the
-file contrib/Anope/README for installation instructions!
+Anope 1.9.8 or later (<http://www.anope.org/>; unreleased as of 2012-11-10)
+may be used with ngIRCd using the "ngircd" protocol module.
+Until Anope 1.9.8 is released, you have to use the sources from the Anope
+development GIT tree, see <http://sourceforge.net/projects/anope/develop/>!
-After patching and installing Anope, at least the following configuration
-variables have to be adjusted in data/services.conf, in addition to all the
-settings marked as required:
