* 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:
https://www.unrealircd.org/docs/Operclass_permissions
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 ;)
Fix force-rejoin not working if doing SVSMODE -x/+x (Koragg, #5015).
Note to module coders:
Please use the following procedure in case of an user/host change:
* userhost_save_current(acptr);
* << change username or hostname here (or both) >>
* userhost_changed(acptr);
This function will take care of notifying other clients about
the userhost change, such as doing PART+JOIN+MODE if force-rejoin
is enabled, and sending :xx CHGHOST user host messages to
"CAP chghost" capable clients.
Also, small note to everyone:
If force-rejoin is enabled we will not send the PART+JOIN+MODE to
"CAP chghost" capable clients. Doing so is just a hack to notify
people of a userhost change. "CAP chghost" users can thus benefit
from the reduced noise in this respect.
- Normal users can now get a list, versioninfo will be hidden however.
- Opers get some additional details like hooks and commandoverride's.
- Opers can use /module <servername> to get a remote list of loaded modules.
- Added flag [3RD] to show it's a 3rd party module
This was requested by by quite some people because serveradmins started to load
"spy modules" without clearly mentioning it in the MOTD (which is highly unethical
and in some countries even illegal due to privacy law). Also the remote module
list was requested by quite a few opers.
Sure, this isn't a 100% guarantee but at least if someone goes hiding stuff
then it's clear what their intentions are (and thus will be refused support, ..).
- Changed emailaddr in help window at windows to unreal-users mailinglist.
- Made the cloak mismatch msg during linking a bit more scary.
- Added comment to 'Install as a service' option in installer to help n00bs a bit.
- Added checks for /sethost&/chghost to same host.
- Added remove-chanmode-after-X-minutes in +f.
The format is +f [30j#R5]:15, where 5 is the "do -R after 5 minutes". For a default
action like +i you would have to do the same: +f [30j#i5]:15 (remove 'i' after 5 minutes).
Additionally, 2 config items are added:
- set::modef-default-unsettime, if this is set to for example '5' then things like
+f [30j]:15 will be transormed into +f [30j#i5]:15. It's just a default, the user can still
override it. By default this feature is not used.
- set::modef-max-unsettime, specifies the maximum amount of time for the <time> parameter,
by default this is set to 60 (=1 hour), the value should be between 0 and 255.
I didn't do the extended tests I usually do but it seems stable, also the docs are updated
but are probably updated again later to make it a bit more readable.
Feel free to report any bugs as soon as you discover them.
The only thing I could think of is: _usually_ only 1 server will have the -i/-R/.. timer
running, so if that server splits (or even worse dies) it will only be -i/-R/.. at that server
and when they sync back they merge chanmodes so +i/+R is set again.
I don't consider this a huge problem but maybe it can be inconveniently, if people have
a lot of trouble with this I'll have to consider a 50% recode of the +f system :/.
