- Disable USE_POLL on Windows, since it doesn't work with XP and has
no advantage anyway. Reported by nenolod (#4129).
- Various updates to makefile.win32 and .iss file, found during
building new versions of zlib, openssl, and curl.
server.cert.pem exists, and check it if the file doesn't exist.
You can still change the setting, just the default is correct now.
The code for this was already there but was not working correctly
causing users to go through the generation process upon each install.
- Win32: Attempt to move to 100% winsock2 (the include, to be precise),
this means includes have to be in a very particular order (!)
- Win32: #define _WIN32_WINNT 0x0501 and force our own inet_ntop/pton,
otherwise you get an ntop runtime error on XP and earlier.
- Win32: Get rid of c-ares includes and library in our tree, and use the
DLL instead of static LIB, just like we do for ssl and zlib.
- Win32: Get rid of TRE lib and includes
- Win32: reorder includes to fix winsock errors with curl
'install as service' and 'encrypt SSL certificate', as they are
incompatible (a service cannot ask a user to enter a password).
- Win32 installer: Fixed long outstanding problem with some Vista / Windows 7
installations, which has to do with file permissions of the Unreal3.2
folder. Symptoms were error messages such as:
Unable to create file 'tmp/10D9D743.commands.dll': Permission denied
But also failing to create SSL certificates, nothing being logged, etc.
This is now fixed by setting write access on the Unreal3.2 folder to the
user running the install, unless the user chooses not to use this new
option (it can be unchecked), in which case the user is warned that he
should take care of this himself.
Reported by various persons, special thanks to Bock and goldenwolf for
helping us to track down this issue (#0003943).
- Remote MOTD support. Not adequately tested. Required restructuring of the asynchronous download callback and handler.
- Added some consts throughout url.c, etc.
- Fix segfault where the an include directive specifies a URL and cURL follows redirects, resulting in a different resultant URL. The remote includes code would look for the an include block using the resultant URL and assume that it would be found. The new code searches differently, has new checks, and ignores the resultant URL.
- Removed duplicated m_motd() and friends that were both in modules and s_serv.c. The copies in s_serv.c (core) were overriding the in-module functions.
- Win32: Made UnrealIRCd run as a service under non-privileged accounts
(ones that do not belong to the Administrator group). Reported by
skyflash, Bock, zer, etc... Thanks to BuHHunyx for some hints on how to
fix this.
