UnrealIRCd 4.0.19-dev Release Notes
|
|
====================================
|
|
|
|
This UnrealIRCd version is still under heavy development.
|
|
See https://bugs.unrealircd.org/roadmap_page.php for release targets.
|
|
|
|
Enhancements:
|
|
* New option to disable a module: blacklist-module "modulename";
|
|
This will cause any 'loadmodule' lines for that module to be ignored.
|
|
This is especially useful if you only want to disable a few modules
|
|
that are (normally) automatically loaded by conf/modules.default.conf.
|
|
https://www.unrealircd.org/docs/Blacklist-module_directive
|
|
* The except throttle { } block now also overrides any limitations from
|
|
set::max-unknown-connection-per-ip. Useful for WEBIRC/cgiirc gateways.
|
|
* The following extban modules are not new but are now enabled by default:
|
|
extbans/textban, extbans/timedban and extbans/msgbypass.
|
|
In case you don't like them, use blacklist-module as mentioned above.
|
|
Just as a reminder, they provide the following functionality:
|
|
* TextBan: +b ~T:block:*badword* to block sentences with 'badword'
|
|
* Timed bans: ~t:duration:mask
|
|
These are bans that are automatically removed by the server.
|
|
The duration is in minutes and the mask can be any ban mask.
|
|
Some examples:
|
|
* A 5 minute ban on a host:
|
|
+b ~t:5:*!*@host
|
|
* A 5 minute quiet ban on a host (unable to speak):
|
|
+b ~t:5:~q:*!*@host
|
|
* An invite exception for 24 hours (1440 minutes):
|
|
+I ~t:1440:*!*@host
|
|
* A temporary exempt ban for a services account:
|
|
+e ~t:1440:~a:Account
|
|
* Allows someone to speak through +m for the next 24hrs:
|
|
+e ~t:1440:~m:moderated:*!*@host
|
|
* And any other crazy ideas you can come up with...
|
|
* Ban exception ~m:type:mask to allow bypassing of message restrictions.
|
|
Valid types are: 'external' (bypass +n), moderated (bypass +m/+M),
|
|
'censor' (bypass +G), 'color' (bypass +S/+c) and 'notice' (bypass +T).
|
|
Some examples:
|
|
* Let LAN users bypass +m: +e ~m:moderated:*!*@192.168.*
|
|
* Let ops in #otherchan bypass +m: +e ~m:moderated:~c:@#otherchan
|
|
* Make GitHub commit bot bypass +n: +e ~m:external:*!*@ipmask
|
|
* Allow a services account to use color: +e ~m:color:~a:ColorBot
|
|
* Timedban support in +f [5t#b2]:10 (set 2 minute ban on text flood).
|
|
* AntiRandom: The module will now (by default) exempt WEBIRC gateways
|
|
from antirandom checking because they frequently cause false positives.
|
|
This new behavior can be disabled via:
|
|
set { antirandom { except-webirc no; }; };
|
|
|
|
Major issues fixed:
|
|
* Potential crash issue when concurrently checking DNSBL for the WEBIRC
|
|
gateway and the spoofed host.
|
|
|
|
Minor issues fixed:
|
|
* Remote includes: ./Config didn't properly detect libcurl on Ubuntu 18
|
|
(and possibly other Linux distributions as well)
|
|
* Localhost connections are considered secure, so these can be used even
|
|
if you have a plaintext-policy of 'deny' or 'warn'. (This was already
|
|
the case for servers, but now also for users and opers)
|
|
|
|
Other changes:
|
|
* Windows users may be prompted to install the Visual C++ redistributable
|
|
package for Visual Studio 2017. This is because we now build on VS 2017
|
|
instead of VS 2012.
|
|
|
|
Module coders:
|
|
* Windows: Be aware that we now build with Visual Studio 2017. This means
|
|
3rd party modules should be compiled with VS 2017 (or VS 2015) as well.
|
|
|
|
Future versions:
|
|
* We intend to change the default plaintext oper policy from 'warn' to 'deny'
|
|
later this year. This will deny /OPER when used from a non-SSL connection.
|
|
For security, IRC Operators should really use SSL/TLS!
