Issue solved where multiple servers, channels and announcers in the trackers files where handles as one. With this issue solved there were some changes to the configuration.
Field name changes:
Old | New
------|-------
nick | irc_nickname
nick_pass | irc_ident_password
tls | irc_tls
tls_verify | irc_tls_verify
inviter | irc_inviter
invite_cmd | irc_invite_cmd
delay | announce_delay
`irc_port` is now mandatory.
Mandatory fields `irc_server` and `irc_channels` are added.
`irc_channels` is a comma separated list of channels which will be joined on startup unless invite command has been configured.
