it will just accept it if it's from a remote server, and also ops/etc will be allowed
to REMOVE any unknown extbans (but not add new unknown ones).
- Added extended ban type ~n (nickchange ban), if a user matches this (s)he can not
change nicks (eg: +b ~n:*!*@*.aol.com) unless (s)he has voice or higher.
This can be useful as an overall measure for some +m chans (+b ~n:!*@*) or against
specific 'good' people that are just nickflooding due to a wrongly configured script.
- Added set::restrict-extendedbans by which you can disallow normal users to use
any extendedbans ("*") or disallow only certain ones (eg: "qc").
- Made the negative TS message a bit more annoying if time is off more than 10 seconds.
- 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).
- Added release notes (no, we won't release 3.2.1 anytime soon.. just updating ;p).
- Added various extra messages to make it a bit more easier for people who are
upgrading (win32 commands.dll, cloaking mod).
- Made win32 ssl<->non-ssl modules binary compatible.
- Added ssl/non-ssl check in Mod_Version on *NIX.
- Added set::options::flat-map: This makes all servers look like they are linked
directly to the server you are on (/map, /links), thus you cannot see which server
is linked to which ("hopcount"). This can make it a bit harder for kiddies to find
any 'weak spots' (which server to attack/[D]DoS). Obviously opers will always
see the real map.
