so you can use IRC directly from HTML5/JS. It is still considered experimental
but feel free to test it out. To do so, add this to your unrealircd.conf:
loadmodule "websocket";
This module was sponsored by Aberrant Software Inc.
Previously <= 0 would stop processing. Now this has changed to:
>0: continue and parse as-is (this was already the case)
0: don't parse but continue reading next packet (if there's any data)
-1: stop parsing, don't read any packets (client may be killed/FLUSH_BUFFER)
Services coders: you can now set "SVSMODE Nick +d" to set the 'deaf' user
mode. Note that "SVSMODE Nick +d svsidhere" also still works. This should
be a harmless change, unless some services packages are accidentally trying
to set emtpy svsids like "SVSMODE Nick +d "... if you do, then the target
nick will be deaf now..
Only build main binary with -fPIE, not the modules. It's called Position
Independent EXECUTABLE after all. And apparently not all compilers or
linkers ignore the option if building shared objects (mine did..).
as it is the default in 4.0.8+. However, it shouldn't break the build if
specified. Fixed damn silly reversed logic at a few places that caused this...
We now set LDFLAGS during configure with -Wl,-rpath=/home/xyz/unrealircd/lib so
the curl test won't fail (or more precisely, curl's c-ares test).
Could theoretically fix other issues as well, but could not reproduce.
First of all, system-wide curl is much preffered, but if not available
then UnrealIRCd will offer to install curl for you during ./Config.
The prompt looks the same as before but we no longer install the curl
library in ~/curl but rather in ~/unrealircd/lib (or wherever you put
your installation).
Basically, it now behaves exactly the same as c-ares, TRE and PCRE.
Downside: curl will be re-compiled each time you re-run ./Config
Upside: curl will be re-compiled each time... :D.. will thus be kept
more up to date.
**
Also: complain if <curlinstall>/bin/curl-config cannot be found.
This ensures we error after ./Config rather than after the whole of
configure has been ran.
