including things like CallCmdoverride() to CallCommandOverride().
Type changes like aTKline -> TKL and many more (in particular
aSomething to Something etc. such as aWatch to Watch) but these are
less used by 3rd party module coders.
aChannel to Channel, and some more. Third party module coders will
love this. But.. it makes things more logical and the doxygen output
will look more clean and logical as well.
(More changes will follow)
Still need to fix some FIXME/TODO items and things haven't been
fully tested yet, so server sync issues or crashes are still possible.
Release notes will be updated another day as well..
(HOOKTYPE_PACKET). Replacing the 'text to be sent' to a client is
supported, which allows character(set) conversion in a module.
Note that modifying an incoming message by the hook is not supported.
such as 3 connections per 60 seconds. Previously that could result in 3
per 90 seconds due to timer inaccuracy, now max 65 seconds (max 5s
inaccuracy).
This new feature (away notify) is announced in 005 (ISUPPORT) as: WATCHOPTS=A
Format is: WATCH A +UserOne +UserTwo
New numerics to cope with away notification in WATCH are:
RPL_NOWISAWAY: to indicate the user is away _when adding_ it to WATCH list
RPL_GONEAWAY: user was not away, but is now
RPL_NOTAWAY: user was away, but is no longer away
RPL_NOWISAWAY: user was away, and still is, but the reason changed
Example:
WATCH A +Target
Request to add user 'Target' to the watch list with away notification
:maintest.test.net 609 MySelf Target ~blih test.testnet 1204309588 :not here atm
Reply to watch add: user is online and away, reason is provided
:maintest.test.net 599 MySelf Target ~blih test.testnet 1204309588 :is no longer away
User is back (no longer away)
:maintest.test.net 598 MySelf Target ~blih test.testnet 1204309722 :lunch
State change: user is now away, reason is provided
:maintest.test.net 597 MySelf Target ~blih test.testnet 1204309738 :shopping, bbl
User is still away, but reason changed.
The syntax for each numeric is:
<nickname> <username> <hostname> <awaysince> :<away reason>
In case of 599 (RPL_NOTAWAY) it is:
<nickname> <username> <hostname> <awaysince> :is no longer away
For the record, this is all based on a draft from codemastr from 2004, which was
implemented in Unreal3.3 (devel branch) in 2006. Today, in 2008 it was updated
with away reason support and backported to Unreal3.2. Because away notification
hasn't been used until now (due to it only being in Unreal3.3) we felt it was
safe to break some numerics.
- 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.
this will currently produce a lot of warnings with -Wall.
- Fixed 159 of 184 warnings detected by the above, the other warnings are false.
Most warnings had to do with long vs int, and thus the format strings (%d->%ld)
or the vars (int->long) have been changed (many of these were time_t/TS vs int).
Only a few rare crashbugs were discovered.
- Module coders: for HOOKTYPE_LOCAL_CHANMODE the 'sendts' parameter was changed
from type 'int' to 'time_t', while in most circumstances (like on ia32)
you won't notice, I suggest you to update your callback functions anyway.
- Possibly fixed an issue with set::modes-on-join and mode +f, it could have
set random remove-chanmode times in the default chanmode line.
