- Rename Changes to Changes.old
- In the Mercurial repository the Changes file no longer exists (except
for a dummy file). You now need to run ./createchangelog to generate it.
Of course in official releases the Changes file will be present and
contain all details.
- From now on, the Changes file is based on the history of the Mercurial
repository. This means we no longer have to write text manually to the
Changes file. This simple change helps a lot in future development
because patches will no longer break when they are being ported from
one branch to another.
unreal32docs.gr.html (outdated since 2006-12-02), and
unreal32docs.nl.html (outdated since 2009-01-18, possibly 2007-07-12).
These translations are out of date for many years and are causing
problems for the people who are reading this out of date information.
If you want to update these translations, or (maybe better) redo
the translation of unreal32docs in these languages, then send an
e-mail to syzop@unrealircd.com.
Note that for all these languages we have had people in the past
offering to help out, but in the end we never heard back from them,
so please ONLY contact us if you: 1) are serious, and 2) have
sufficient time available to work on this project.
That said, users in your language will greatly appreciate your work!
Of course, if you want to translate documents in any other language
then you are welcome to contact us as well.
method to authenticate users with SSL client certificates based
on SHA256 fingerprints. This can be used instead of the already
existing 'sslclientcert' so you don't have to use an external file.
One way to get the SHA256 fingerprint would be:
openssl x509 -in name-of-pem-file.pem -sha256 -noout -fingerprint
Suggested and patch supplied by Jobe (#4019).
- Added documentation on the new sslclientcertfp
- Moved documentation on authentication types to one place and refer
to it from each section (oper::password, vhost::password,
link::password-receive, etc).
- Disable USE_POLL on Windows, since it doesn't work with XP and has
no advantage anyway. Reported by nenolod (#4129).
- Various updates to makefile.win32 and .iss file, found during
building new versions of zlib, openssl, and curl.
server.cert.pem exists, and check it if the file doesn't exist.
You can still change the setting, just the default is correct now.
The code for this was already there but was not working correctly
causing users to go through the generation process upon each install.
If this is not set, then SASL is off and not advertised.
If the specified server is not connected, then SASL is off as well.
This prevents unnecessary delay (and the inability for some clients to
get online) when SASL is not in use or when the SASL server is down.
This allows the IRCd to enforce MLOCKs that are set by services, which
eliminates clashes between users setting modes and services enforcing
it's mlock on channels. (#3055)
queued data on the receive queue (eg: due to fake lag) was not processed
unless we got new data from the client.
Now, better document this. Also, avoid calling dbuf_put with 0 length.
goes to the boot screen. When we are already booted it's sent to all
IRCOps with a limit of max. 1 message per 5 minutes.
- Refuse to boot when we can't write to any log file.
