clients support it now (mIRC, xchat, epic, eggdrop, Klient, PJIRC, irssi, CGI:IRC, etc).
It has always been weird that win32 had it ON by default and *NIX OFF, anyway.
Naturally this change will be mentioned clearly in next release notes.
clients connecting trough a CGI:IRC gateway that is in cgiirc { }. This might also fix a bug
where (g)zlines were not applied to CGI:IRC clients, reported by devil (#0002850).
- Rephrased/editted part of example.conf and unreal32docs to make it a littttttle bit easier
for beginners / try to mention the FAQ a bit more explicitly.
- Modulized NAMES command (can now be upgraded on the fly, if ever needed).
- Added NAMESX support, seeing both mIRC (5.17) and XChat support this. What this does is
send all rights of all users on the channel in the NAMES reply (eg: @+Syzop if the user is +ov)
instead of only the highest one (@Syzop in previous example). We only do so if the client
explicitly requested this via a NAMESX in a PROTOCTL message (eg: 'PROTOCTL NAMESX').
Note that there is a glitch: since most clients only send the PROTOCTL NAMESX after they
see NAMESX listed in the 005 announce message this has the effect that if there are
set::auto-join channels present (where users are automatically joined to by the server) the
extended NAMES reply will not be sent for those channels, because from the IRC server' point
of view the join happened before the PROTOCTL and hence it does not know the client wanted
NAMESX at that point (the result is not catastrophic: the old-style NAMES is sent for those
channels). Anyway, for all non-autojoin channels this works great. So still worth adding IMO.
Originally suggested in #0000606.
Side note: this does not mean we dropped the idea of (also) having a challenge-response
system for good ;).
We now support the webirc ('webirc_password' in CGI:IRC) method, which is kinda superior
to the older method ('realhost_as_password').
See the Unreal documentation (section '4.36 - Cgiirc Block') for details on how to configure.
- Changed quoting color in unreal32docs.. looks better now IMO (only English docs updated).
