.la archives are prohibited by most Linux distributions because they
clutter up the linker. They may get caught up as victims in scripts that
purge .la files. Besides, .la files don't matter for simple loadable
modules on most systems.
So, what we do now instead is just use the platform suffix detected by
libtool.
Purge a lot of really old and obsolete documents, and merge some together
where possible. Lots of efnet docs and the old ircd-ratbox manpage (lol)
was purged.
Reorganise everything nice and neatly as possible. Things describing
features can be found in features/, and some more technical documents
were moved to techinical/.
Old credits file was consolidated into credits-past.txt, and a reference
was added to it in the credits.
While functionally compatible with the implementation in ElementalIRCd, our approach is different,
specifically pre-calculating the bitmask at config load time. This is more efficient, and allows us
to report errors as part of the configuration phase.
This allows multiple improvements to m_sasl. With this change, the SASL
authentication gets aborted immediately when services are offline.
Additionally, we send the SASL ENCAP messages directly to the specified
SASL agent.
There are IPv4 and IPv6 ranges reserved for documentation and example code;
use these to minimize the risk if someone accidentally uses an unmodified
example conf.
Add the flags (auth{} spoof, dynamic spoof) to struct Whowas and add a
show_ip_whowas().
Normal users now see IPs of unspoofed users, and remote opers can see IPs
behind dynamic spoofs. Also, general::hide_spoof_ips is now applied when
the IP is shown, not when the client exits.
This becomes important because of away-notify sending aways to common
channels much like nick changes (which are also paced).
Marking as unaway is not limited (but obviously only does something if the
user was away before). To allow users to fix typos in away messages, two
aways are allowed in sequence if away has not been used recently.
This adds a new ISUPPORT token, NICKLEN_USABLE which is strictly an informative value.
NICKLEN is always the maximum runtime NICKLEN supported by the IRCd, as other servers may
have their own usable NICKLEN settings. As NICKLEN_USABLE is strictly informative, and
NICKLEN is always the maximum possible NICKLEN, any clients which depend on NICKLEN for
memory preallocation will be unaffected by runtime changes to NICKLEN_USABLE.
The default NICKLEN is 50; the default serverinfo::nicklen in the config file is set to
30, which is the NICKLEN presently used on StaticBox.
nenolod gave the thumbs-up to port ircd-seven banfowards to charybdis to spb
for a while, and people have asked about it. Might as well do it since it's a
slow weekend.
Note that as a side effect use_forward is removed from the config and
unconditionally enabled!
This has a separate enabling option channel::channel_target_change.
It applies to PRIVMSG, NOTICE and TOPIC by unvoiced unopped non-opers.
The same slots are used for channels and users.
If this option is yes (default), KLINE by itself sets global (propagated) bans.
If this option is no, KLINE by itself sets a local kline following cluster{},
compatible with 3.2 and older versions.
A notice will be sent to any force parted users that the channel
is temporarily/permanently unavailable on the server.
A new config option channel::resv_forcepart can be used to disable this.

to restrict channel names to printable ascii only.
Like disable_fake_channels this only applies to joins
by local users; unlike disable_fake_channels it applies
to opers as well.
Specifying need_ssl on auth{} denies the connection if
it is not SSL/TLS, much like need_ident or need_sasl.
Specifying need_ssl on operator{} refuses opering with
ERR_NOOPERHOST if the connection is not SSL/TLS.

Throttle replaces max_unknown_ip, reject is like before
(including the charybdis-specific unkline handling).
Both of these now apply before SSL negotiation.
This commit does not include the global_cidr and new dline code.
m_webirc is a bit nasty with throttling (unlike before
with max_unknown_ip), this may be fixed later (or
the webirc IP needs to be exempt{}ed).
- Do not use hide_error_messages for certain "safe" ERRORs.
- If hide_error_messages hides an ERROR from a handshake,
send a server notice anyway, but without the message
text.
- Send server notices about ERRORs from handshakes network
wide if it was a remote connect.
