- 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).
"trusted" and the IRCd will show the users' _real_ host/ip everywhere on IRC, instead of the
_CGI:IRC-gateway_ host/ip.
To do so you must set 'realhost_as_password' to 1 in your cgiirc.conf. And add the
CGI:IRC gateway(s) you fully trust to set::cgiirc::hosts.
means no longer weird issues with +b *\* etc not banning nicks with \ in it.
ExtBan ~c/~r get special treatment and will use our match_esc [match with escaping]
routine, that way you can ban channels such as "#f*ck" via "+b ~c:#f\*ck".
Fix triggered by bugreport of vonitsanet (#0002782).
the switchover we were accidently using different ones which caused funny kill messages
like "You were killed by a.b.c (a!a.b.c (SOMENICK[N\A](?) <- d.e.f))." This also broke
some bans in pre2/rc1. Bug reported by HERZ (#0002772).
contains the (root) certificates of most major Certificate Authorities. It is basically
the default curl ca-bundle.crt plus cacert's certificates.
The 'curl-ca-bundle.crt' will be copied to the installation dir if needed.
It will from now on be used by Unreal for all remote includes (curl) related certificates.
If you want to use https but don't want to buy a certificate, we suggest you to apply for
a free certificate at CACert (www.CACert.org). Or, alternatively, add your own certificate
(PEM encoded) to curl-ca-bundle.crt, see 'SSLCERTS' in the curl package for more info.
but is actually understandable and has less bugs. This fixes +b ~c:#c\*t not properly
matching #c*t, reported by Jason (#0002752). Initial results look good, but this needs
some good testing ;).
- Updated unrealinst.iss: made it easier for me to have 2 curl versions, this is so we can
ship the SSL version of unreal with a curl that supports SSL (https, etc).
- Preperations for pre-1 (version change, etc)
