multiple reference count bugs, one related to sptr->serv->conf, and another one related
to sptr->serv->class. Both caused problems when someone did a /rehash when a server
was in the process of connecting (so it might also happen when connfreq was hit and you
did a /rehash). Original bug was reported by sh0 (#0001872).
- Module coders: if CmdoverrideAdd() is called for an override that is already in place, it
now sets MODERR_EXISTS as errorcode and returns NULL (previously it added duplicates).
In the past module coders had many issues with PERM mods... you had to use weird tricks,
but now you can (and should!) just override on INIT and on HOOKTYPE_REHASH_COMPLETE.
- Moved register_user declaration to h.h, updated call in m_pingpong.c (due new 'ip' field).
- Usermode +v ('receive dcc send rejection notices') is oper-only now for privacy reasons.
- Added dcc allow { }, which allows one to make exceptions over deny dcc { }.
- Added deny dcc::soft and allow dcc::soft item, if set to 'yes' it allows someone
to explicitly override it per-person via /DCCALLOW (see next).
- Added DCCALLOW system, taken directly from bahamut.
With this system you can block certain (or all) DCC SENDs and then allow the user to
'override' this limit for every user he/she trusts via '/DCCALLOW +User'.
This is an attempt to stop (or at least limit) the spreading of viruses/etc.
See '/DCCALLOW HELP' for more info.
- Added example dccallow.conf which filters everything except some known
'safe types' (jpg, jpeg, png, gif, etc). Note that the purpose of this file
is NOT to get a complete list, rather to limit it to a few 'known safe' entries.
- Added set::maxdccallow: max number of entries of the DCCALLOW list (default: 10).
- Fixed a few wrong macro's (ircstrdup/ircfree) in s_conf.c causing
very weird behavior... This also fixes a bug where set::spamfilter::ban-reason
would have the value of ban-time.
- Improved spamfilter again.
- The new syntax is:
/spamfilter [what] [type] [action] [tkltime] [reason] [regex]
[tkltime] specifies the duration of any *lines placed by this rule.
[reason] specifies the *line, kill and/or block reason.. no spaces
allowed, but '_' will be escaped to a space.
In both cases you can simply use '-' to skip and use the default.
Ex: /spamfilter add p block - - Come watch me on my webcam
/spamfilter add p gline 3h Please_go_to_www.viruscan.xx/
nicepage/virus=blah Come watch me on my webcam
- A message is now shown if the msg/notice/dcc is blocked.
- There are 2 new spamfilter action types:
'dccblock' will mark the user so (s)he's unable to send any files by DCC.
'viruschan' will part the user from all channels and join
set::spamfilter::virus-help-channel (default: #help).
this action might be improved to do more later.
- Internal: added EXTTKL PROTOCTL, this determinates if 10 parameters
instead of 8 are supported for m_tkl (used by spamfilter add).
This new system needs some testing... :)
- Added snomasks 'S' (Spamfilter) which notifies you of any spamfilter matches.
- [internal] always return after spamfilter match, don't continue looping trough
targets list (eg in case of: /msg #a,#b,#c spamspam), otherwise you would get
duplicate notification msgs.
- Added SENDSNO server command, similar to SENDUMODE but for snomasks, this is
used by the spamfilter snomask (+S) so you get network-wide notifications.
- Added "compiled for.." versioning system, this way a beta17 module can't be loaded
on beta18, etc... People often forgot to recompile their modules or had old ones
somewhere by mistake, therefore crashing after upgrades... this should fix this
(in the future). Module coders don't have to do anything for making this work,
it's done automatically (via modules.h).
spamfilter::word to spamfilter::regex to make it even more clear (since we match
on the whole line and have nothing to do with words.. 'word' doesn't make sense).
- Updated docs with some better regex examples, reported by AngryWolf (#0001520).
called which might look a bit ugly, but is better than before (scattered on 3 places).
- Added snomasks 'N' which allows you to see nick changes of clients on other servers,
requested by several people (#0001323).
random numbers. We will also no longer be using rand()/random() anywhere.
Thanks to dek\ for pointing out this is potentionally dangerous, especially on
win32 with NOSPOOF enabled.
integration now, no.. it doesn't work at all yet but most of the internal stuff
has now been done (but I temporarely need to work on other things now).
moved/added a lot of regex stuff, banaction/spamfilter helper functions, etc
into s_misc.c. [note: current code has some bugs but since the stuff isn't
used that's no problem... it's also a bit ugly, do NOT mail me about these things ;p]
- Enabled talk-trough-+M for opers (just like +m)
- Disabled talk-trough-+m/+M for opers if NO_OPEROVERRIDE is defined
- Display zlib/SSL version in /version (oper only)... will prolly be improved later.
- updated doc/compiling_win32.txt
These bans look like ~<type>:<stuff>. Currently the following bans are available:
~q: quiet bans (ex: ~q:*!*@blah.blah.com). People matching these bans can join
but are unable to speak, unless they have +v or higher.
~c: channel bans (ex: ~c:#idiots). People in #idiots are unable to join the channel.
~r: gecos (realname) bans (ex: ~r:*Stupid_bot_script*). If the realname of a user
matches this then (s)he is unable to join.
NOTE: an underscore ('_') matches both a space (' ') and an underscore ('_'),
so this ban would match 'Stupid bot script v1.4'.
These bantypes can also be used in the channel exception list (+e).
+e ~r:*w00t* makes anyone with 'w00t' in their realname able to join,
and +e ~c:#admin makes anyone in #admin able to join, etc..
This system allows modules to add extended bantypes too.
This feature requires some additional testing, also the module interface will
probably be changed in the next few weeks, and perhaps more extended bans will
be added before next release.. we'll see...
If set to 'yes' or '1' it will strip all part comments,
if set to something else it will use that as a part comment.
- Partial cleanup of m_part (hopefully I didn't destroy anything).
- Minor stats compile warning fixed
with the same oper block. Suggested by kain.
- Made /dns oper-only (the ircd command, not your client /dns command :p).
- Various help.conf fixes. Reported by nukie (#0001373).
this will currently produce a lot of warnings with -Wall.
- Fixed 159 of 184 warnings detected by the above, the other warnings are false.
Most warnings had to do with long vs int, and thus the format strings (%d->%ld)
or the vars (int->long) have been changed (many of these were time_t/TS vs int).
Only a few rare crashbugs were discovered.
- Module coders: for HOOKTYPE_LOCAL_CHANMODE the 'sendts' parameter was changed
from type 'int' to 'time_t', while in most circumstances (like on ia32)
you won't notice, I suggest you to update your callback functions anyway.
- Possibly fixed an issue with set::modes-on-join and mode +f, it could have
set random remove-chanmode times in the default chanmode line.
- Added 'action' field to ban version { } which can be: kill: kills the user (default),
tempshun: shun the specific connection only, kline/zline/gline/gzline/shun: place
a ban on *@IP. Time of those bans can be specified in set::ban-version-tkl-time.
It's up to the admin to take a good decision, sometimes zlines are best (=won't use
much sockets but will reconnect quite quickly), sometimes tempshun (=will use 1 socket
but generates nearly no network traffic), sometimes klines/glines, etc..
- Changed some useless stuff.
- Enabled EXTCMODE by default, I presume it's stable but can't promise anything.
- Module coders: changed 'allowed' callback function for umodes&snomasks,
from 'aClient *sptr' to 'aClient *sptr, int what'.
'what' will be MODE_ADD if trying to add and MODE_DEL if trying to remove.
- Added checks for /sethost&/chghost to same host.
- Added remove-chanmode-after-X-minutes in +f.
The format is +f [30j#R5]:15, where 5 is the "do -R after 5 minutes". For a default
action like +i you would have to do the same: +f [30j#i5]:15 (remove 'i' after 5 minutes).
Additionally, 2 config items are added:
- set::modef-default-unsettime, if this is set to for example '5' then things like
+f [30j]:15 will be transormed into +f [30j#i5]:15. It's just a default, the user can still
override it. By default this feature is not used.
- set::modef-max-unsettime, specifies the maximum amount of time for the <time> parameter,
by default this is set to 60 (=1 hour), the value should be between 0 and 255.
I didn't do the extended tests I usually do but it seems stable, also the docs are updated
but are probably updated again later to make it a bit more readable.
Feel free to report any bugs as soon as you discover them.
The only thing I could think of is: _usually_ only 1 server will have the -i/-R/.. timer
running, so if that server splits (or even worse dies) it will only be -i/-R/.. at that server
and when they sync back they merge chanmodes so +i/+R is set again.
I don't consider this a huge problem but maybe it can be inconveniently, if people have
a lot of trouble with this I'll have to consider a 50% recode of the +f system :/.
