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).
We previously introduced the "require sasl" block which allows you to
force users from certain IP addresses to authenticate with their nickname
and password via SASL. We now offer a new experimental module called
'saslemulation' which will help non-SASL users by showing a notice and
asking them to authenticate to their account via /AUTH <user>:<pass>.
See https://www.unrealircd.org/docs/Set_block#set::sasl-emulation
Note that this is work in progress, although the functionality of
already works. Still need to do some cleaning and expand the scope.
And more testing...
module but at least the code can be updated on the fly (or replaced
with some other secondary alternative module in the future).
src/charsys.c -> src/modules/charsys.c
This also means everyone needs to load the modules/charsys module.
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.
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)
* remove netadmin, services-admin, admin, co-admin.
* remove all oper flags (there are some placeholders for the next... <24hrs..)
* ADMINCHAT and NACHAT are gone, since admin & netadmin no longer exist
* SVSO used oper flags, but this no longer exists, SVSO removed. maybe later we can add some sort of replacement.. maybe..
* re-style the m_oper code a bit
We no longer support builds without OpenSSL - consequently we have no reason to keep our custom MD5 implementation, and probably shouldn't keep it around
This is partially for the sake of Stskeeps, even though he left the
project long ago, but mainly so we can work towards dynamic ticks in
the event loop while guaranteeing latencies for connected clients,
even with fakelag.
