and has various outstanding crash and 100% CPU issues.
We have been encouraging the PCRE2 engine since the start of
UnrealIRCd 4 already.
TRE is being phased out of U4 by the end of the year, so we can
safely remove it in U5 already.
For example, msgid / message-ids is not a CAP, while server-time is.
There mere fact of something being in CAP or not shouldn't cause
something to be in different directories ;).
You now call it with a path like is_module_loaded("extbans/timedban").
This, among other reasons, so you can differentiate between modules with
the same name, such as "usermodes/noctcp" and "chanmodes/noctcp".
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.
always as new users (regardless of reputation), causing the protection
to kick in too quickly for the poor new users. This was noticeable
after for example one server died and new users reconnecting massively
to the remaining servers. Reported by Lord.
password types (eg: plaintext on one side, spkifp on the other side).
Refer to https://www.unrealircd.org/docs/FAQ#auth-fail-mixed
Also, unrelated to the above, don't say "Bad password?" if the
password type is not of type plaintext, since it would be confusing.
Nowadays these are pretty much never proxy attacks. Only scanners and
crawlers trying HTTP commands on IRC connections.. which isn't even that
weird anymore since people tend to open up port 443 for SSL/TLS IRC
to bypass firewall restrictions.
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
encouraged to use CMD_OVERRIDE_FUNC(override_xyz) rather than declaring
the function themselves. This works similar to CMD_FUNC(somecmd).
Example:
/* Forward declaration */
CMD_OVERRIDE_FUNC(override_xyz);
[..]
MOD_LOAD(somemodule)
{
CmdoverrideAdd(modinfo->module, "XYZ", override_xyz);
[..]
CMD_OVERRIDE_FUNC(override_xyz)
{
/* Do something useful here */
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.
