This so I - and others - don't constantly have to wonder whether the client
is called sptr, cptr or acptr in a simple routine.

Couldn't just mass-replace of course since there are places where there
are multiple clients involved. So had to check each function.
Also renamed some 'acptr' to 'target' and such.
I will write a page with new style rules later.. but in short if there is
only 1 client involved it will now be called 'client'.
which specifies the time in milliseconds rather than seconds. This
allows for additional precision, or at least multiple calls per second.
The minimum allowed every_msec value is 100 at this time.
The prototype is now: EventAdd(Module *module, char *name,
vFP event, void *data, long every_msec, int count);
MOD_UNLOAD. And MOD_HEADER(xyz) is now MOD_HEADER even without ()
since this isn't a function, really.
To make things understandable I added the following to the
developer section of the release notes:
* The module header is now as follows:
ModuleHeader MOD_HEADER
= {
"nameofmodule",
"5.0",
"Some description",
"Name of Author",
"unrealircd-5",
};
There's a new author field, the version must start with a digit,
and also the name of the module must match the loadmodule name.
So for example third/funmod must also be named third/funmod.
* The MOD_TEST, MOD_INIT, MOD_LOAD and MOD_UNLOAD functions no longer
take a name argument. So: MOD_INIT(mymod) is now MOD_INIT()
the chanmodes/delayjoin module must be named chanmodes/delayjoin
in the module header.
This because currently we have two module names for each module,
one is the name from the MOD_HEADER and the other is the
relative path, such as used by loadmodule and is_module_loaded().
This commit also (not entirely, but practically) breaks loading
of modules outside the regular modules path. I don't think that's
a problem, although it could use a bit more documentation.
This so we have a few simple concepts:
Client: this can be a user, server, or something unknown yet
Then the type of clients:
User: this is a user, someone with a nick name.
Server: this is a server
Etc.
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)
and remove old dependency field (never used, was always NULL,
broken since 3.2.x)
I'll add some constraints later on things like names and versions.
IOTW: more changes to follow, don't mass update your own mods yet.
of match_simple() and match_esc(). So, developers, be aware, this is how
you should use the function in a correct way:
if (match_simple("*fun*", str))
printf("It was fun\n");
Rationale:
I've always been annoyed by the inversed logic, even though it was similar
to strcmp. So I've reverted it.
I could have chosen to maintain match() rather than this match_simple()
name, but this way I force (3rd party module) devs to update their function,
while otherwise everything would mysteriously fail due to the inverted logic.
These are just remnants of the past, when +a was called channel protection.
It is called channel admin since as long as I can remember, and in 90%
of the code and documentation it is called that way.
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.
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
* 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 ;)
