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 ;).
Previously various information was only available for directly attached
servers, since it is communicated via PROTOCTL.
Now, we will also communicate information about leafs behind us.
IRCOps can use the /SINFO command to see these server features.
Services codes don't need to do anything, or at least are not expected
to do anything. They can still receive the information and do something
with it, of course...
Read the following technical documentation for full information,
as it will outline very specific rules for using the command S2S:
https://www.unrealircd.org/docs/Server_protocol:SINFO_command
https://www.unrealircd.org/docs/Authentication
And "require sasl" is now "require authentication"
(the old name will only raise a warning, not cause an error)
Note that authprompt currently only does the "require authentication"
stuff and not yet the soft-xx actions. That will be something for
later this week, but I've already documented it as such (here and
there anyway).
Also, make this the default for './unrealircd mkpasswd'.
The Windows version also works.. I just need to create a new library
package, will be done later today or tomorrow.

These are bans that are automatically removed by the server.
The duration is in minutes and the mask can be any ban mask.
=> Note that you need to load the extbans/timedban module!
Some examples:
* A 5 minute ban on a host:
+b ~t:5:*!*@host
* A 5 minute quiet ban on a host (unable to speak):
+b ~t:5:~q:*!*@host
* An invite exception for 1440m/24hrs
+I ~t:1440:*!*@host
* A temporary exempt ban for a services account
+e ~t:1440:~a:Account
* Allows someone to speak through +m for the next 24hrs:
+e ~t:1440:~m:moderated:*!*@host
* And any other crazy ideas you can come up with...
Module coders:
* The cap->visible(void) callback function is now cap->visible(aClient *)
* There is a new cap->parameter(aClient *) callback function.
* Various updates to subfunctions to pass 'sptr' (due to the above),
including clicap_find(sptr, ...)
* New CLICAP_FLAGS_UNREQABLE flag
Other:
* There is a new (src/)modules/cap directory containing the sts module,
well.. once I commit it :D
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).
so you can use IRC directly from HTML5/JS. It is still considered experimental
but feel free to test it out. To do so, add this to your unrealircd.conf:
loadmodule "websocket";
This module was sponsored by Aberrant Software Inc.
* Updates to make UnrealIRCd use LibreSSL
* Fix HTTPS support in cURL
* Forgot to ship curl-ca-bundle.crt
(Note: all 3 points from above only affect Windows)
with a default of 3:90 (3 joins per 90 seconds). There's rarely any need
to configure this on a per-channel basis and this way it's enabled by
default for everyone (unless you decide not to load load the module)
