This also includes buffer modifications to have a larger read buffer
and IRCv3 implementations (partial or not) for:
labeled-response, msgid, server-time, batch and account-tag.
As said, it is the initial and partial implementation.
There are still various FIXME's and TODO's, the API of various
functions may still change (actually that is true for the next
months, even) and some stuff is currently in the core that will
be moved to modules.
usually the fast badwords system is used instead)
* Code deduplication in src/modules/{chanmodes,usermodes}/censor.c
to src/match.c -- which may be moved later again to efuncs.
* Add --without-tre:
This means USE_TRE will be enabled by default right now
but if using --without-tre it will be undef'ed. This so we
can prepare for the TRE phase-out in 2020.
* Remove include/badwords.h, put contents in include/struct.h
that need to be visible from the outside of the .DLL (symbol export).
Long story short: you never need to use this yourself in a module.
Where needed it is already handled by UnrealIRCd.
* The operclass privileges have been redone. Since there were 50+ changes
to the 100+ privileges it makes little sense to list the changes here.
If, like 99% of the users, you use default operclasses such as "globop"
and "admin-with-override" then you don't need to do anything.
However, if you have custom operclass { } blocks then the privileges
will have to be redone. For more information on the conversion process,
see https://www.unrealircd.org/docs/FAQ#New_operclass_permissions
For the new list of permissions, with much better naming and grouping:

The inconsistency in the privileges was initially reported by webczat in
https://bugs.unrealircd.org/view.php?id=4771
The subsequent reorganization took two full days, so.. hopefully the
people who are using - or plan to use - custom operclasses will like the
new layout... except that they need to redo their work of course ;)
-int hooktype_mode_deop(aClient *sptr, aClient *victim, aChannel *chptr, u_int what, char modechar, long my_access, char **badmode);
+int hooktype_mode_deop(aClient *sptr, aClient *victim, aChannel *chptr, u_int what, int modechar, long my_access, char **badmode);
.. this to get rid of a compiler warning and potential problem.
Note that they are NOT loaded by default at this time.
The modules are:
* extbans/textban - +b ~T:censor:*badword*
* usermodes/privdeaf - user mode +D: cannot receive PM's
* antirandom - "randomness" detector against drone attacks
* hideserver - hide servers (not real security, but requested)
* jumpserver - redirect users to another server during maintenance
* m_ircops - show which ircops are online (/IRCOPS command)
* m_staff - show custom file (/STAFF command)
* nocodes - don't just strip/block colors, do the same for reverse/bold/..
The existing README and sample configuration files for these modules
will later be added to the official UnrealIRCd documentation on
https://www.unrealircd.org/docs/Main_Page (just search on the module name).
Not totally tested - I validated it built, I validated ACL validation worked, I validated that most of the ripped out functionality seemed to be absent, eg: we still set the modes (backwards compat w/ services?) but we don't actually check them anywhere, or add them to your whois.
Also make the '?' and '!' prefixes in channels in /WHOIS output more generic:
both mean you only get to see the channel because you are an ircop, but:
'?' means the channel is +s/+p too (so take extra care)
and '!' means the channel is public but for other reasons hidden in /WHOIS, like umode +p (later) or umode +S.
Original file is (of course) backed up as .conf.old.
Currently handled changes in this upgrade: loadmodule, me, link, throttle, spamfilter, allow, vhost, oper.
I think those are all right now. Please report any failures / strange issues on bugs.unrealircd.org
We no longer support builds without OpenSSL - consequently we have no reason to keep our custom MD5 implementation, and probably shouldn't keep it around
