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
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...
Now the UNREAL_VERSION_GENERATION, UNREAL_VERSION_MAJOR,
UNREAL_VERSION_MINOR, and UNREAL_VERSION_SUFFIX macros are
autogenerated from PACKAGE_VERSION.
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.
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).
- Redid include dependencies in Makefile, this makes things safer because on any .h change it
would force a recompile of all files, but it could mean things will be a bit slower for us
coders unless we tweak it later on.
- Changed whois a bit to print less useless results.
- Added several indicators to the "detect binary incompatible modules"-system such as detecting
of a ziplinks module on non-ziplinks (on windows this is ok however), nospoof module on a
a server without nospoof server, etc. Hopefully this will help some people preventing odd
crashes because they did not recompile or (re)install modules properly.
- Added './unreal backtrace', so far this has only been tested on Linux and FreeBSD.
- Fixed a bug making ./Config not load the previously stored settings on Solaris 10 and
probably other Unixes, reported by lion-o (#0002474).
still cutoff if the nick is too long. Basically this is the same way as Hybrid does it
so it should work ok :).
- Added nick character system. This allows you to choose which (additional) characters
to allow in nicks via set::allowed-nickchars. See unreal32docs.html -> section 3.16

These bans look like ~<type>:<stuff>. Currently the following bans are available:
~q: quiet bans (ex: ~q:*!*@blah.blah.com). People matching these bans can join
but are unable to speak, unless they have +v or higher.
~c: channel bans (ex: ~c:#idiots). People in #idiots are unable to join the channel.
~r: gecos (realname) bans (ex: ~r:*Stupid_bot_script*). If the realname of a user
matches this then (s)he is unable to join.
NOTE: an underscore ('_') matches both a space (' ') and an underscore ('_'),
so this ban would match 'Stupid bot script v1.4'.
These bantypes can also be used in the channel exception list (+e).
+e ~r:*w00t* makes anyone with 'w00t' in their realname able to join,
and +e ~c:#admin makes anyone in #admin able to join, etc..
This system allows modules to add extended bantypes too.
This feature requires some additional testing, also the module interface will
probably be changed in the next few weeks, and perhaps more extended bans will
be added before next release.. we'll see...
