KiwiIRC

We've rolled out some huge performance improvements and monitoring how it goes over the next few days. In some cases a 75% improvement, meaning your computer fans stay quieter while using Kiwi 🤞

Some networks may experience some downtime right now as we tackle an ongoing ddos attack against some of our servers. We are working with our server hosts to get back up and running ASAP.

We’ve been upgrading our servers today with a few stumbles along the way, but going forward we’ve added much more capacity to handle your users and transparently apply server updates in future. Let us know if you notice any issues!

Some people may experience some downtime at the moment due to an ongoing DDoS towards kiwiirc.com at the moment. Apologies for any issues as we try to bring things back online again

Apologies if you notice any downtime at the moment, we’re seeing some network issues and trying to resolve them as we speak!

We’re starting to redirect older Kiwi links to the new Kiwi IRC client. kiwiirc.com/nextclient/irc.n…. Currently only links that are not embedded into websites will be redirected!

We’re aware of a spamming network using Kiwi IRC to send spam to some networks. We’re looking into this at the moment and will have it under control ASAP. Apologies if your network is effected <3

If you’ve been testing out the new version of Kiwi - Kiwi Next, we have some new releases for download! kiwiirc.com/downloads/ New themes, new layouts, improved plugin support, the list goes on

Network admins - if you’ve ever had the issue of kiwi connections coming from the wrong kiwi servers then you realise how disruptive it can be. No more! This should now be near impossible to happen again from today.

A quick heads up that there will be a few minutes downtime in the next few hours while server security updates are being applied.

Have you seen the new Kiwi version yet? Try it out at kiwiirc.com/nextclient/irc.f… and let us know what you think! This will soon start replacing the old version you use now.

Minor downtime for some networks over the past day which has now been resolved. Please let us know if you’re having connection problems

Notice: there may be some downtime on the 28th while we update some servers. If effected, it should be under 30minute at most!

Getting ready for the freenode #live conference this weekend! Come say hi at the kiwiirc booth, maybe you’ll find some @IRCv3 devs too

We’re looking for people to help translate the new Kiwi IRC! Check if your language needs any help at translations.kiwiirc.com/

We’ve been building an entirely new Kiwi IRC. Friendlier and amazing on phones. Give it a try! kiwiirc.com/nextclient/

Some great news for the Kiwi IRC project - we are now sponsored to be working full time on development! kiwiirc.com/blog/Kiwi_IRC_ge… \o/
