I started work on this back then but didn't finalize it. Now I
have to figure out what was left to be done :D. Other than the
obvious case of seeing some debugging code that prints out for
every converted character. Not yet visible / usable by end-users!
Also fix documentation for ~10 hooks to mention the hook name.
Obviously, the maxperip module is loaded by default (in modules.default.conf)
but it is nice to have the 400+ lines contained in a separate module
rather than being in the nick module that does NICK/UID handling.
Will look at moving more later..
Several notes:
* This only checks on-JOIN (not on nick change, message, etc)
for performance reasons
* If the #channel in ~inherit:#channel also contains ~inherit
entries then those are not processed (no recursion and no looping)
* Only a limited number of ~inherit entries is permitted.
This will be moved to set:: items in a future commit so you
can set different amounts for +b/+e/+I ~inherit.
* This is work in progress, UnrealIRCd or the entire world could explode
* Documentation will follow later
Developers:
* Sadly, clean_ban_mask() needed to be changed to have two more
parameters, 'ban_type' and 'channel' were added at different positions.
This because the module needs the ban type (EXBTYPE_BAN, EXBTYPE_EXCEPT,
EXBTYPE_INVEX) and channel because it rejects based on number of
existing ~inherit entries in the channel... and while is_ok() is called
for local clients and has all this information, for services clients
is_ok() is not called so the only way to reject the +beI is through
xxx_conv_param() which comes from clean_ban_mask().
This also automatically adds it as a security group and mask item:
ban user {
mask { asn 64496; }
reason "Testing ASN ban";
}
And yeah, it is a normal extban too (in +b and +I). Users usually
don't know the AS Number of other users, though, unless you change
the default configuration (at the cost of privacy).
Updated release notes a bit... more will follow.
* Including default download via unrealircd.org
* Shown in WHOIS - currently in RLP_WHOISCOUNTRY, not sure
if that is correct.
* Shown in connect notices [asn: XYZ] [asname: BLAH BLAH]
* Shown in json user expansion (JSON logging and JSON-RPC)
* Only via geoip_classic at the moment
* Structs and serializing in geoip_base done
* Extbans not added yet
* When booting for the first time (without any cached files) the IRCd
downloads GeoIP.dat. If that fails, e.g. due to lack of internet connectivity,
we now show a warning and continue booting instead of it being a hard error.
Note that we already dealt with this properly after the file has been cached
(so after first download), see "What if your web server is down" in
[Remote includes](https://www.unrealircd.org/docs/Remote_includes#What_if_your_web_server_is_down).

"This is an IRCv3 extension which lets clients opt-out of receiving /names on join.
This is useful for bots on large channels who do not need to know who is in the channel.
Specification: https://ircv3.net/specs/extensions/no-implicit-names"
+ module rename from 'no-implicit-names-cap' to 'no-implicit-names'
(simply because no other modules has that -cap suffix)
+ update to Makefile.windows
This is a mandatory module to load, and included in modules.default.conf.
This also meant that the crule_test() etc efunctions are available
before running config test routines, so we now have a flag for
early efuncs. I guess we could consider doing that for all efuncs
though, so not sure if this flag is really needed.
