Note that they are NOT loaded by default at this time.
The modules are:
* extbans/textban - +b ~T:censor:*badword*
* usermodes/privdeaf - user mode +D: cannot receive PM's
* antirandom - "randomness" detector against drone attacks
* hideserver - hide servers (not real security, but requested)
* jumpserver - redirect users to another server during maintenance
* m_ircops - show which ircops are online (/IRCOPS command)
* m_staff - show custom file (/STAFF command)
* nocodes - don't just strip/block colors, do the same for reverse/bold/..
The existing README and sample configuration files for these modules
will later be added to the official UnrealIRCd documentation on
https://www.unrealircd.org/docs/Main_Page (just search on the module name).
This allows you to for example specify a specific certificate/key on an
serversonly port and in link block (a self-signed 10 year valid certificate)
and use a short-lived (XX day) Let's Encrypt certificate on the other ports.
And several other uses, of course.
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..).
