You can still see the full list of loaded modules by using "/MODULE -all".
Also fix /MODULE <server>, this was broken in earlier versions by nen.... you know who.
PROTOCTL EAUTH=servername,protocolversion,flags,unrealversiontext
This makes deny link { } work again and gives a bit more information too.
Bug reported by GLolol (#4408).
Change MOD_TEST/MOD_LOAD/etc macro's (this breaks all modules). Now just use this:
MOD_INIT(modulename)
{
// you can access modinfo here.. or other stuff...
}
(Similar to the CMD_FUNC() macro)
Rather than:
DLLFUNC int MOD_INIT(name)(ModuleInfo *modinfo)
{
//...
}
* add general matching framework (aMatch type, unreal_match_xxx functions)
* change spamfilter { } block syntax
* add support for simple wildcard matching (non-regex, just '?' and '*')
This is the initial commit so the new lib is not in yet, 'regex' is not
functional (but 'posix' and 'simple' are working), linking has not been
fully tested and no warnings are printed yet. IOTW: work in progress!
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.
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...
mysterious error 'The specified module could not be found' even though the
file exists. This usually means that it depends on another DLL, but
apparently Microsoft decided not to mention that in the error message.
We now append some small text when such an error happens, saying that it
could be because of a missing dependency. Reported by Phil.
- IPv6: it seems some recent Linux dists decided to make IPv6 sockets
IPv6-only, instead of accepting both IPv4&IPv6 on them like until now.
FreeBSD (and other *BSD's) already did that move a few years back,
requiring server admins to sysctl.
We now make use of a new option to explicitly disable "IPv6-only".
This should work fine on Linux.
Whether it provides a complete solution for FreeBSD, I don't know, testing
is welcome! In theory setting net.inet6.ip6.v6only to 0 should no longer
be needed, but you might still need to enable ipv6_ipv4mapping.
- Fix stupid issue where current CVS would no longer link TO an earlier
Unreal server (eg: outgoing connect to a 3.2.8 hub). Reported by ohnobinki
(#0003901).
- Server protocol: added PROTOCTL EATH=servername, which allows us to
authenticate the server very early in the handshake process. That way,
certain commands and PROTOCTL tokens can 'trust' the server.
See doc/technical/protoctl.txt for details.
- Server protocol: between new Unreal servers we now do the handshake a
little bit different, so it waits with sending the SERVER command until
the first PROTOCTL is received. Needed for next.
- Server protocol: added PROTOCTL SERVERS=1,2,3,4,etc by which a server can
inform the other server which servers (server numeric, actually) it has
linked. See doc/technical/protoctl.txt and next for details.
- When our server was trying to link to some server, and at the same time
another server was also trying to link with us, this would lead to a
server collision: the server would link (twice) ok at first, but then a
second later or so both would quit with 'Server Exists' with quite some
mess as a result. This isn't unique to Unreal, btw.
This happened more often when you had a low connfreq in your link blocks
(aka: quick reconnects), or had multiple hubs on autoconnect (with same
connfreq), or when you (re)started all servers at the same time.
This should now be solved by a new server handshake design, which detects
this race condition and solves it by closing one of the two (or more)
connections to avoid the issue.
This also means that it should now be safe to have multiple hubs with low
connfreq's (eg: 10s) without risking that your network falls apart.
This new server handshake (protocol updates, etc) was actually quite some
work, especially for something that only happened sporadically. I felt it
was needed though, because (re)linking stability is extremely important.
This new feature/design/fix requires extensive testing.
This feature can be disabled by: set { new-linking-protocol 0; };
user target string (nick!user@host:info), insteaf of doing it at like 5 places.
- Spamfilter target 'u' (user): the host field (nick!user@HOST:realname) is now escaped
with brackets if it's an IPv6 address, eg: blah!blah@[1:2:3:4:5:6:7:8]:hello, reported
by aquanight and others (#0003010).
