Original file is (of course) backed up as .conf.old.
Currently handled changes in this upgrade: loadmodule, me, link, throttle, spamfilter, allow, vhost, oper.
I think those are all right now. Please report any failures / strange issues on bugs.unrealircd.org
you want to permit re-loading but not complete un-loading of your module.
This way you get the benefits of being able to upgrade code on-the-fly but
can still disallow the user to do something potentially unwise.
For services who allow you to log in by account name but still allow you to
use a different nick: when you're logged in you are now considered
registered as far as channel mode +M (only registered users may speak and
+R (only registered users may join) are concerned. Same for user mode +R
(only allow private messages from registered users).
Tech: whenever services set SVID and it's not * and does not start with a
number, then we consider this user to be 'logged in'.
Whenever a user is set +r (s)he is also considered 'logged in'.
This way it's compatible with both older and new services and doesn't
introduce security issues with older services using servicetimestamp
for nick tracking or other means.
This issue was reported by ShawnSmith (#4318).
We no longer support builds without OpenSSL - consequently we have no reason to keep our custom MD5 implementation, and probably shouldn't keep it around
Modules that take parameters to chanmodes cannot be unloaded at this time, we probably want to investigate adding this capability in the future so we can do dynamic updates of those modules
structs such as Client, Channel, Member and Membership.
- Modules that define channel modes no longer need to be permanent. This
was already true for paramless chmodes, but is now true for all.
- Converted floodprot module (chmode +f) to use MoData. This means some
remains could be purged from the core and the module is now fully
reloadable (no longer permanent).
- This code is experimental, but seems to work...
