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.
- Rephrased/editted part of example.conf and unreal32docs to make it a littttttle bit easier
for beginners / try to mention the FAQ a bit more explicitly.
We now support the webirc ('webirc_password' in CGI:IRC) method, which is kinda superior
to the older method ('realhost_as_password').
See the Unreal documentation (section '4.36 - Cgiirc Block') for details on how to configure.
- Changed quoting color in unreal32docs.. looks better now IMO (only English docs updated).
"trusted" and the IRCd will show the users' _real_ host/ip everywhere on IRC, instead of the
_CGI:IRC-gateway_ host/ip.
To do so you must set 'realhost_as_password' to 1 in your cgiirc.conf. And add the
CGI:IRC gateway(s) you fully trust to set::cgiirc::hosts.
- 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)
set::maxbans in the configfile, note that you probably also want to enlarge set::maxbanlength
as well (see docs) or else you will hit that limit first.
- Changed the default maxbanlength from 1K to 2K, which in practice will mean people can set
a lot more bans since in practice the 60 (maxbans) limit was never met because the
maxbanlimit was set so low.
oper privileges on quarantined servers will be instantly killed. Bit ugly perhaps, but
then it actually does what it should (prevent opers on quarantine from getting GLOBAL
oper privileges). This "fixes" #2510, #2163 and #1968.
[forgot docs commit]
you have to put 'spamfilter yes;' in every alias block you want to get filtered.
This is so you can have for example /MS filtered (due to heavy spam), while keeping
/NS and /CS unfiltered. Reported by Homer (#0002496).
- The memoserv aliases (/MS and /MEMOSERV) now have spamfiltering enabled by default.
and 2000 lines total that can be hotfixed if needed ;). The effort involved in moving all
this sucks a lot though :/. This might need some more testing to make sure it doesn't break
anything.
- Updated support OS list in documentation.
whenever a server is added to a network it has a lot of power that cannot simply be controlled
by things like unsetting operflags remotely or anything else. I don't want to encourage
anyone to use it.
system accept more characters. Basically what this means is that the (fast) badwords
system can now be used to properly block words with accents and things like that, just
the way you block English words. Bug reported by MJ12Helios (#0002311).
- Added 'czech-w1250' and 'slovak-w1250' (both might miss a few characters).
- Added 'windows-1250' group which contains czech-w1250, slovak-w1250, polish-w1250
and hungarian.
- Hungarian characters show both fine in w1250 and latin2, hence hungarian is included
both in 'windows-1250' and 'latin2'.
- Fixed bug: polish was not included in latin2
reported by seneces (#0002333).
- Fixed doc bug reported by Dukat (#0002374). Also fixed 2 error msgs related to
the nickchars system printing out incorrect set:: directives.
- spamfilter.conf and dccallow.conf are now also copied upon make install, reported by
TommyTheKid (#0002313).
- Build in some additional checks (especially for Chinese).
- Fixed a bug in chinese character range (affecting 3.2*)
- Relaxed nick character checking from remote servers (rely on NICKCHARS= PROTOCTL
to deal with problems). This is useful to prevent any kills in case we slightly
change the characters that are allowed in a language.
