This will be handy for version comparisons. For example they will
return -1 (=lower) for things like ("1.4.9", "1.4.10"), unlike strcmp.
Also, some loosely related spelling fixes elsewhere.
to be a bit less ugly. The module is loaded by default so you can
still use set::options::identd-check like before, even though I
hate ident... it's old shit... still, other's seem to like it.
More changes will follow later. There is still some ident stuff
in the core at the moment and the module is currently PERM, which
largely (but not entirely) defeats the purpose of being a module.
That will be fixed at a later time as well.
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()
the chanmodes/delayjoin module must be named chanmodes/delayjoin
in the module header.
This because currently we have two module names for each module,
one is the name from the MOD_HEADER and the other is the
relative path, such as used by loadmodule and is_module_loaded().
This commit also (not entirely, but practically) breaks loading
of modules outside the regular modules path. I don't think that's
a problem, although it could use a bit more documentation.
REQMODS Gmodname:version ....
to:
SMOD G:modname:version ....
Also, call the module require-module to be consistent with the
naming of the configuration directive.
Not sure yet of the set name, but call it set::require-module for
now as well.
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.
as cptr->from is NOT (necessarily) the server where cptr is connected to.
So we now call it cptr->direction since it indicates the directly connected
server (or &me)... in other words: the direction of the client path.
old authentication types that are already deprecated in UnrealIRCd 4.x.
They don't contain any rounds which means they can be cracked at a rate of
millions per second. Use the secure hashing type 'argon2' instead
(or, if you must, use the less secure 'bcrypt' type).
including things like CallCmdoverride() to CallCommandOverride().
Type changes like aTKline -> TKL and many more (in particular
aSomething to Something etc. such as aWatch to Watch) but these are
less used by 3rd party module coders.
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)
