and as it should be IMO. Both for invites by channel ops and for OperOverride.
This also fixes a bug where an IRCOp with OperOverride could not bypass +l
and other restrictions. Only +b and +i could be bypassed.
Module coders: HOOKTYPE_OPER_INVITE_BAN is now gone and HOOKTYPE_INVITE_BYPASS
is now new. The HOOKTYPE_INVITE_BYPASS is called when the user is joining
a channel to which they were invited to. If you return HOOK_DENY there then
the join is still blocked, otherwise it is allowed.
Using this hook would be sortof unusual since usually you would want users
to be able to bypass restrictions when they were invited by another user
or when they invited themselves using OperOverride.
The only example where we use it in UnrealIRCd is for +O channels so an
IRCOp cannot use OperOverride to join +O channels when they would otherwise
not be allowed to do so. Actually even that is a corner case that you could
debate about, but.. whatever.
an extra char **errmsg argument. Upon failure (non zero return value)
this should contain a format string to be sent to the client
(with the return value denoting the number of the numeric).
This gets rid of sendnumeric_legacy() in join.c
* channel->mode.extmode to channel->mode.mode
* channel->mode.extmodeparams to channel->mode.mode_params
This because all channel modes that are set there are extended channel
modes, only lists are still in core atm and they never get set here.
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'.
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()
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.
that need to be visible from the outside of the .DLL (symbol export).
Long story short: you never need to use this yourself in a module.
Where needed it is already handled by UnrealIRCd.
* 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 ;)
Not totally tested - I validated it built, I validated ACL validation worked, I validated that most of the ripped out functionality seemed to be absent, eg: we still set the modes (backwards compat w/ services?) but we don't actually check them anywhere, or add them to your whois.
