o) Implemented full services support. Among other things, the following changes |
| 3 |
> |
have been done for this: |
| 4 |
> |
- Added SVSNICK, and SVSMODE command handlers |
| 5 |
> |
- Added service stamps to NICK/UID messages |
| 6 |
> |
- Usermode +r (registered nick) has been added, as well as |
| 7 |
> |
channelmode +r (registered channel) |
| 8 |
> |
- Now that usermode +r has a different function than before, rejected |
| 9 |
> |
client notices now go to new usermode +j |
| 10 |
> |
- Various services shortcuts have been added (/NS, /CS, /NICKSERV, /CHANSERV, etc.) |
| 11 |
> |
- Added channelmode +R (only registered clients may join that channel) |
| 12 |
> |
- Added usermode +R (only registered clients may send a private message) |
| 13 |
> |
- Added services{} block to ircd.conf |
| 14 |
> |
- Added services_name directive to general{} block |
| 15 |
> |
o) RKLINE and RXLINE commands have been removed. Regular expression based |
| 16 |
> |
bans should only be added via ircd.conf |
| 17 |
> |
o) Added 'globops', 'restart', 'dline', 'undline' and 'module' operator privilege flags. |
| 18 |
> |
Read doc/example.conf for further explanation of what these flags |
| 19 |
> |
are supposed to be doing |
| 20 |
> |
o) Idle-time klines have been removed |
| 21 |
> |
o) Cleaned up modules API. Old modules won't work anymore |
| 22 |
> |
o) Remove general::burst_away configuration directive. AWAY bursts are now |
| 23 |
> |
controlled via connect::flags explicitly |
| 24 |
> |
o) Introduced new logging subsystem including log rotation based on |
| 25 |
> |
file sizes |
| 26 |
> |
o) Added support for remote D-lines |
| 27 |
> |
o) Added usermode +H which is basically a replacement for the hidden_admin and |
| 28 |
> |
hidden_oper operator flags. With usermode +H, irc operator status can now |
| 29 |
> |
be hidden even on remote servers |
| 30 |
> |
o) The servlink program has been removed. ircd-hybrid can now make use of SSL/TLS |
| 31 |
> |
for inter-server communication. |
| 32 |
> |
NOTE: compressed server links are of course still available, but a SSL/TLS |
| 33 |
> |
connection is required, as compression is now handled via the OpenSSL library |
| 34 |
> |
o) Oper login IDs are no longer limited to NICKLEN*2 |
| 35 |
> |
o) Removed channel::burst_topicwho configuration option. Topicsetters are |
| 36 |
> |
now sent by default |
