reported by Bock (as part of #2889).
- Fixed desynch problem with +Q, reported by tabrisnet (#0002992).
- Updated doc/coding-guidelines
- Added bugs.* url to /info, was still showing some email address.
including one reported by frigola on an old Sun Cobalt RAQ3.
It will probably also fix an issue with the just released curl 7.15.4, if compiling
with remote includes.
TODO: Update win32 (not urgent)
you do 'cd ..' and then 'cd -' again, make works just fine. This is going to be the most
stupid workaround in history... Reported by vonitsanet and others (#0002926).
- Fixed crash problem on win32 if TKL times were <0. Obviously it's hard to protect from such
invalid server traffic, but figured in this case it might be a good idea since *NIX does
not crash.
- Made a note about possessive quantifiers, they are scary :P.
+- Moved another 2K lines from core to modules, this means 31K lines are now in modules
+ and can be upgraded on the fly.
+- Real Command Aliases: This makes it possible to, for example, alias '/GLINEBOT' to
+ 'GLINE <param> 2d Bots are not permitted on this network, etcetc'. For more information,
+ see the docs on the alias block and/or search for "glinebot" in doc/example.conf.
added glinebot example @ real command aliases / updated description...
- Added 'real' aliases, this are aliases that map to real commands, so you can for example
map the command '/GLINEBOT <x>' to 'GLINE <x> 2d Bots are not allowed on this server, blabla'.
See the documentation on the alias block for more information. doc/example.conf contains an
example as well (search for "glinebot").
map the command '/BLAH 5' to 'NICK idiot5'. More info in docs on alias block.
- Modulized: badwords system (src/badwords.c is now gone) and StripColors/StripControlCodes
to m_message, multiple netsynch routines to m_server, send_list to m_list, a certain mode
routine to m_svsmode, all /MSG IRC.. webtv stuff to src/modules/webtv.c which is compiled
with m_message.
This means another ~1500 lines of code are now in modules (and thus can be upgraded on
the fly), which brings the total of modulized lines at 32K.
synchronize the IRCd clock (TSOffset) with a few good time servers. It currently only does
this on-boot, but it will hopefully help a lot of people with most of their time differences.
I still keep recommending anyone who can to run proper time-synchronization software such as
ntpd/ntpdate on their servers.
To disable time synchronization (eg: because you are already running ntp), you can simply
set set::timesynch::enabled to no.
The boot timeout for the timeserver response (=causes boot delay) can be configured via
set::timesynch::timeout and is set to 3 seconds by default (range is 1s-5s), there should
be no reason to change this.
The time server can be configured by setting set::timesynch::server, the default is to
use 3 time servers on 3 continents (US, EU, AU) which should be sufficient for anyone but
if you got a good one near you you can use that one instead.
The time protocol we use is (S)NTP v4.
this case ;p). Reported by KnAseN and many others (#0002581).
There might still be other operator count bugs, but these are triggered by a different bug
and may or may not be caused by services.
which basically means if it allows .*. If you want to require a parameter, use .+ (or
anything other in regex that requires at least one character). Suggested and patch provided
by Nazzy (#0002722).
far as we want to go with regards to relaxing "too broad" checking... Just continue to use
services AKILL for (other) "too broad cases", as many people (correctly) do. Change
suggested by salama (#0002911).
