with a default of 3:90 (3 joins per 90 seconds). There's rarely any need
to configure this on a per-channel basis and this way it's enabled by
default for everyone (unless you decide not to load load the module)
* remove netadmin, services-admin, admin, co-admin.
* remove all oper flags (there are some placeholders for the next... <24hrs..)
* ADMINCHAT and NACHAT are gone, since admin & netadmin no longer exist
* SVSO used oper flags, but this no longer exists, SVSO removed. maybe later we can add some sort of replacement.. maybe..
* re-style the m_oper code a bit
- 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.
- Win32: Attempt to move to 100% winsock2 (the include, to be precise),
this means includes have to be in a very particular order (!)
- Win32: #define _WIN32_WINNT 0x0501 and force our own inet_ntop/pton,
otherwise you get an ntop runtime error on XP and earlier.
- Win32: Get rid of c-ares includes and library in our tree, and use the
DLL instead of static LIB, just like we do for ssl and zlib.
- Win32: Get rid of TRE lib and includes
- Win32: reorder includes to fix winsock errors with curl
- Some small updates to the extended channel mode system: it now has minimal
support for 'local channel modes'. This is really only meant for channel
mode +Z (upcase z), see next.
- Added Channel Mode Z which indicates if a channel is 'secure' or not.
This mode works in conjunction with +z (lower case z).
If +z is set ('only secure users may join'), then the IRCd scans to see
if everyone in the channel is connected through SSL. If so, then the
channel is set +Z as well ('channel is secure').
Whenever an insecure user manages to join, the channel is -Z. And whenever
all insecure users leave, the channel is set +Z.
The 'insecure user being present in a +z channel' can be because:
- An IRCOp joined the channel, and he's not secure
- When servers link together and a user on the other side is not secure
This only happens on net merge (equal time stamp).
On different time stamp, we still kick insecure users on the new side.
- At the time when +z is set, there are insecure users present.
This feature was implemented after a heavy discussion in bug #3720 by fez
and others, and was suggested by Stealth.
Tech note: +Z/-Z is handled locally by each server. Any attempt to
remotely set +Z/-Z (eg: by services) will be ignored.
- As mentioned above, +z can now be set even if any insecure users are
present. Previously, this was not permitted. Now, as soon as the last
non-SSL user leaves, the channel will be set +Z.
- An oper not connected through SSL previously had to /INVITE himself
to a channel and then /JOIN the channel with the key 'override'.
This 'override' key is no longer required, a simple JOIN will suffice.
- Sorted channel modes in /HELPOP ?CHMODES
- Re-enabled 'fishy timestamp' errors in MODE. For some reason this was
commented out, even though the (more annoying and less useful) code in
JOIN was enabled so that did not make a lot of sense. It also now logs to
ircd.log (or whatever you configure). This enables people to easier find
the cause of any timestamp issues (which usually is badly coded services).
having to use a special SSL-only port, they can simply switch to SSL on
any port. This is currently only supported by few clients (such as KVIrc 4).
This functionality can be disabled by setting set::ssl::options::no-starttls,
for example if you don't want to offer SSL to your users and only want it
to be used for server to server links.
Naturally, the IRCd must be compiled with SSL support for STARTTLS to work.
- Fixed SSL_ERROR_WANT_READ in IRCd_ssl_write()
don't support this and will fail to compile UnrealIRCd. This fixes#3680,
reported by therock247uk.
- Upgraded c-ares to 1.6.0 (also now using pkg-config).
If you get a "undefined reference to `clock_gettime'" error, then you
might consider installing 'pkg-config' on your system, and then simply
re-run
./Config and make, should fix things.
__TODO__: win32 c-ares upgrade to 1.6.0 (and copy & fix header files).
__TODO__: testing! testing! i'd like to be sure this c-ares is stable!
new commands SVSNOLAG/SVS2NOLAG (syntax: SVSNOLAG [+|-] NickName). Obviously, care
should be taken when giving such access to a user since he/she will be able to flood
at full speed and could possibly take down the entire IRCd (well, everyone on it).
Suggested by avb, coded by djGrrr.
map the command '/BLAH 5' to 'NICK idiot5'. More info in docs on alias block.
- Modulized: badwords system (src/badwords.c is now gone) and StripColors/StripControlCodes
to m_message, multiple netsynch routines to m_server, send_list to m_list, a certain mode
routine to m_svsmode, all /MSG IRC.. webtv stuff to src/modules/webtv.c which is compiled
with m_message.
This means another ~1500 lines of code are now in modules (and thus can be upgraded on
the fly), which brings the total of modulized lines at 32K.
synchronize the IRCd clock (TSOffset) with a few good time servers. It currently only does
this on-boot, but it will hopefully help a lot of people with most of their time differences.
I still keep recommending anyone who can to run proper time-synchronization software such as
ntpd/ntpdate on their servers.
To disable time synchronization (eg: because you are already running ntp), you can simply
set set::timesynch::enabled to no.
The boot timeout for the timeserver response (=causes boot delay) can be configured via
set::timesynch::timeout and is set to 3 seconds by default (range is 1s-5s), there should
be no reason to change this.
The time server can be configured by setting set::timesynch::server, the default is to
use 3 time servers on 3 continents (US, EU, AU) which should be sufficient for anyone but
if you got a good one near you you can use that one instead.
The time protocol we use is (S)NTP v4.
a lot of crashes. Both are now fixed. Reported by Zell, Yamake, and others (#2875, #2704).
Fix provided by Xuefer. This also gets rid of some annoying and useless compile warnings
as well.
- Updated unrealinst.iss: made it easier for me to have 2 curl versions, this is so we can
ship the SSL version of unreal with a curl that supports SSL (https, etc).
- Preperations for pre-1 (version change, etc)
This should get rid of some annoying untracable (and usually rare) crashbugs in the
old resolver. Besides that, it makes things look more clean and understandable.
This should be the fix for the following bugids (all the same issue): #2499, #2551, #2558,
#2559, #2603, #2642, #2502, #2501, #2618, #2616.
Feedback and testing is very much welcomed (syzop@unrealircd.com).
