I was wondering why the handshake took 4 seconds for a client which
authenticates using SASL. Turns out that fake lag was kicking in due
to the many "CAP req" commands combined with the other handshake stuff.
Now the first 15 (or so) "CAP" requests are "free", without fake lag.
of targets accepted for a command, eg /MSG nick1,nick2,nick3,nick4 hi.
Also changed the following defaults (previously hardcoded):
* PRIVMSG from 20 to 4 targets, to counter /amsg spam
* NOTICE from 20 to 1 target, to counter /anotice spam
* KICK from 1 to 4 targets, to make it easier for channel operators
to quickly kick a large amount of spambots
See https://www.unrealircd.org/docs/Set_block#set::max-targets-per-command
(actually still need to write the documentation)
maximum number of conversations a user can have with other users at the
same time. Until now this was hardcoded at limiting /MSG and /INVITE to
20 different users in a 15 second period. The new default is 10 users,
which serves as a protection measure against spambots.
See https://www.unrealircd.org/docs/Set_block#maxcc for more details.
such as "WHO +s serv.er.name" to "WHO serv.er.name s".
It also does advanced transformation such as "WHO -m z" to "WHO -z m"
**copy paste from comment in code**
Flag a: user is away << no longer exists
Flag c <channel>: user is on <channel> << no longer exists
Flag g <gcos/realname>: user has string <gcos> in his/her GCOS << now called 'r'
Flag h <host>: user has string <host> in his/her hostname << no change
Flag i <ip>: user has string <ip> in his/her IP address << no change
Flag m <usermodes>: user has <usermodes> set << behavior change
Flag n <nick>: user has string <nick> in his/her nickname << no change
Flag s <server>: user is on server <server> << no change
Flag u <user>: user has string <user> in his/her username << no change
Behavior flags:
Flag M: check for user in channels I am a member of << no longer exists
Flag R: show users' real hostnames << no change (re-added)
Flag I: show users' IP addresses << no change (re-added)

Of course we cannot convert 100% from classic UnrealIRCd WHO to WHOX-style
because things like "WHO +m r" could mean either "search for +m in realname" (WHOX)
or "search for +r in modes" (classic). In cases like this we assume WHOX, so to not
break any WHOX compatibility.
Added matchers: 'R' (show real host) and 'I' (show IP)
This code will need more testing, both by classic WHO and by WHOX users...
