For example, because of a different version of PCRE2, or because of the switch
from non-UTF8 to UTF8 (or vice versa) which disallows certain byte sequences.
The spamfilter::action stop ill prevent processing other spamfilters.
This would normally be a bit unusual, and potentially dangerous when you
do exclude things this way, but can be useful in some circumstances.
Stopping only affects the same type of spamfilters (general or central
spamfilters), so they don't interfere.
The tkldb write DB bug had to do with that it was processing
central spamfilters, which should be skipped just like config
based spamfilters were already skipped.
This makes websocket_common unload last (and near-last: rpc & websocket)
and makes us call Mod_Init for these three modules first.
This way, the period where the websocket handler is unavailable is kept
to a minimum.
This also renames the ModuleSetOptions option MOD_OPT_UNLOAD_PRIORITY
to MOD_OPT_PRIORITY since it dynamically changes the module priority
in the list. For 6.x compatibility, MOD_OPT_UNLOAD_PRIORITY can still
be used.
So now the example in the release notes actually works:
except ban {
mask { security-group irccloud; }
type { blacklist; connect-flood; handshake-data-flood; }
}
Also rename them to describe better what they do.
ConfigFile:
cf_filename -> filename
cf_next -> next
cf_entries -> items
ConfigEntry:
ce_fileptr -> file
ce_varlinenum -> line_number
ce_fileposstart -> file_position_start
ce_fileposend -> file_position_end
ce_sectlinenum -> section_linenumber
ce_varname -> name
ce_vardata -> value
ce_cond -> conditional_config
ce_entries -> items
ce_next -> next
ce_prevlevel -> parent
Also add doxygen docs for both structs.
* Fix channel history issues with writing on terminate
* Change tkldb and reputation to only write the db
on terminate and not on every REHASH anymore
..all this thanks to the new loop.ircd_terminating, so modules can
see the difference between regular rehash and terminating.
if running multiple ircds from the same directory you sometimes get
weird messages otherwise (not that we really support such a thing
but i use it while dev'ing).
Not reported by anyone, but yeah.. who knows there is someone out there
that does this :D.
Also make it work the same like channeldb by spreading the event.
which specifies the time in milliseconds rather than seconds. This
allows for additional precision, or at least multiple calls per second.
The minimum allowed every_msec value is 100 at this time.
The prototype is now: EventAdd(Module *module, char *name,
vFP event, void *data, long every_msec, int count);
MOD_UNLOAD. And MOD_HEADER(xyz) is now MOD_HEADER even without ()
since this isn't a function, really.
To make things understandable I added the following to the
developer section of the release notes:
* The module header is now as follows:
ModuleHeader MOD_HEADER
= {
"nameofmodule",
"5.0",
"Some description",
"Name of Author",
"unrealircd-5",
};
There's a new author field, the version must start with a digit,
and also the name of the module must match the loadmodule name.
So for example third/funmod must also be named third/funmod.
* The MOD_TEST, MOD_INIT, MOD_LOAD and MOD_UNLOAD functions no longer
take a name argument. So: MOD_INIT(mymod) is now MOD_INIT()
including things like CallCmdoverride() to CallCommandOverride().
Type changes like aTKline -> TKL and many more (in particular
aSomething to Something etc. such as aWatch to Watch) but these are
less used by 3rd party module coders.
src/modules/tkl.c is the main one).
Also move DB writing/reading functions to src/misc.c so they can be
removed out of channeldb and tkldb.
Important note to current tkldb users:
Unfortunately due to the major cleanup I had to remove upgrading
for previously saved tkl db files. That seemed not worth the effort
for maybe <15 current users or so. It also makes the tkldb code
a lot more cleaner. Otherwise it would be a huge mess.
Currently a FIXME item: spamfilter support in RMTKL.
and remove old dependency field (never used, was always NULL,
broken since 3.2.x)
I'll add some constraints later on things like names and versions.
IOTW: more changes to follow, don't mass update your own mods yet.
explicit cast to (long long). On *NIX we could get away with
lazily assuming time_t is of the same length as long (and use %ld),
even though the specification says nothing about it.
Unfortunately on Windows things are not that simple:
'time_t' is 'long long' (64 bits) and both 'int' and 'long'
are 32 bits, even when compiling in 64 bit mode.
This problem could be 'fixed' in multiple ways:
One way would be to minimize the usage of time_t and use 'long long'
or 'uint64_t' everywhere for variables to minimize casting later.
I, however, chose to maintain 'time_t' for most of time grabbing
and time calculations (eg: delta), and do the explicit cast in
any printf-like functions that may be there.
Both solutions work. I mostly like the explicit time_t look, so one
can immediately recognize a variable relates to time.
Make local spamfilter blocks use this too. Already did so for
ban xxx types that will cause kline/gline/zline and qline.
This also simplifies handling in the tkldb module.
If everything goes correctly then after reading all TKL entries we
should be at the end of file. If there is still data after that,
something went wrong... quite wrong.. :D
