and used for auditting purposes across servers (assuming the servers
itself can be trusted).
This is done via the 'operlogin' module which is loaded by default.
Obviously for opers of U5 and below this information is not available.
This also changes the HOOKTYPE_LOCAL_OPER hook to include oper block info:
-int hooktype_local_oper(Client *client, int add);
+int hooktype_local_oper(Client *client, int add, ConfigItem_oper *oper_block);
It means you can no longer modify eg parv[1] in-place with strtoken and such.
The main reason for this is that as a command handler you have no idea
where the arguments may come from. It could be from a do_cmd() with
read-only storage (eg a string literal) and so on.
It started with an experiment of how far I could get and how annoying the
side-effects would be, but they seem to be quite managable, so I'm
committing this stuff.
Hopefully this catches/solves some stupid bugs somewhere :)
form an insecure connection. There we explain a bit on the why and how to
configure some random IRC clients.
This also silently adds support for multi-line messages in
set::plaintext-policy::user-message (for warn) and
set::plaintext-policy::oper-message (for warn and deny).
set::oper-auto-join or tld::channel was broken. It worked for the
very first user since boot or rehash, but after that only the
first channel was joined. Reported by PeGaSuS in
https://bugs.unrealircd.org/view.php?id=5535
This so I - and others - don't constantly have to wonder whether the client
is called sptr, cptr or acptr in a simple routine.

Couldn't just mass-replace of course since there are places where there
are multiple clients involved. So had to check each function.
Also renamed some 'acptr' to 'target' and such.
I will write a page with new style rules later.. but in short if there is
only 1 client involved it will now be called 'client'.
code changes in UnrealIRCd itself:
1) Clients are no longer freed directly by exit_client. Most fields
are freed, but 'sptr' itself is not, so you can use IsDead() on it.
2) exit_client now returns void rather than int
3) ALL command functions return void rather than int.
Of course this also affects do_cmd, command overrides, etc.
This is a direct consequence of the removal of 'cptr' earlier, as that
was used to signal certain things that are now no longer possible
(and it raises the question if things were always correctly signaled
in the first place, so may fix some bugs).
It also makes the code more resillient against cases where you forgot
to check if the client was freed. Still, you are encouraged to do an
IsDead(sptr) if you are calling functions that may kill clients,
such as command functions or things that may use spamfilter.
More changes will follow, such as the removal of FLUSH_BUFFER.
'sptr' is sufficient and in most cases the only one you should care about.
Should you need it, you can access sptr->direction in cases where you
need the old information (usually only for some sendto_* functions
and some protoctl checks), so 'cptr' was redundant too.
[!] This change likely introduces some bugs. This was many hours of work.
I only cut some corners in 4 functions, which will be fixed at a later
stage..... yes, more major changes to come.
On the plus side, I likely fixed some bugs in the process. Situations
where cptr vs sptr usage was incorrect. Eg using cptr->name (near server)
when sptr->name should be used (the actual source server), etc....
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()
This so we have a few simple concepts:
Client: this can be a user, server, or something unknown yet
Then the type of clients:
User: this is a user, someone with a nick name.
Server: this is a server
Etc.
aChannel to Channel, and some more. Third party module coders will
love this. But.. it makes things more logical and the doxygen output
will look more clean and logical as well.
(More changes will follow)
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.
So rename src/modules/m_*.c to src/modules/*.c and update makefiles
and modules.default.conf. Also remove m_ at various places in the
source files, but not the CMD_FUNC(), just the module name.
