3 | The following is a list of major changes between ircd-ratbox-1.x and | |
4 | ircd-ratbox-2.0 | |
5 | ||
6 | Config File | |
7 | ----------- | |
8 | - name="foo"; is no longer supported in connect {}; operator {}; and | |
9 | class {};. You must now use connect "irc.foo.com" { ... }; etc. | |
10 | - operator {}; no longer contains a class | |
11 | - kline_with_connection_closed is gone, replaced with | |
12 | kline_reason = "Connection closed"; | |
13 | - logging {}; is gone, replaced with more advanced log system - see | |
14 | example.conf log {}; for more info. Note, by default only very basic | |
15 | information will be logged. | |
16 | - support for a specific opers initial umodes on /oper, by umodes = ...; | |
17 | in operator {}; | |
18 | - added stats_e_disabled = yes|no; to general {};, controlling whether stats | |
19 | e (which can contain server ips) is never shown to anyone | |
20 | - support for compressed|encrypted|topicburst|autoconn = yes|no; is gone, | |
21 | replaced with flags = compressed, encrypted, topicburst, autoconn; | |
22 | - support for individual auth flags "kline_exempt = yes"; etc removed, now | |
23 | must use flags = ...; method | |
24 | - support for individual oper flags "kline = yes;" etc removed, now must use | |
25 | flags = ...; method. | |
26 | - extended flags = ...; method to allow negation, so you may prefix a flag | |
27 | with '~' to negate it. Default oper flags are operwall, remoteban and | |
28 | encrypted (indicates password is encrypted with mkpasswd) | |
29 | - new flags in shared {};, tkline, txline and tresv, allowing temp only of | |
30 | kline, xline and resv respectively. | |
31 | - new flags in cluster {}; tkline, txline and tresv which will cluster | |
32 | only the temp of each type. kline, xline and resv will now only | |
33 | cluster the permanent ones of each type. | |
34 | - cluster {}; no longer allows a server to place klines etc locally, it | |
35 | simply dictates who we send to. | |
36 | - shared {}; is now ordered top-down and the first one that matches the | |
37 | user@host and server will be used, and the flags taken from this. This | |
38 | means if a remote oper matches a shared block without kline privs, even | |
39 | though there is a shared {}; block they match under it with kline privs | |
40 | they will not be able to place klines. | |
41 | - added invite_ops_only to channel {}; which will restrict the use of INVITE | |
42 | to chanops on that channel always, rather than just to +i chans. | |
43 | ||
44 | Client | |
45 | ------ | |
46 | - /help is now available for all users, as its now cached in memory. | |
47 | removes config option use_help from general {}; | |
48 | - default CHANNELLEN for local clients is now 50 | |
49 | - AWAYLEN added to 005, default is 90 | |
50 | - kick/part/quit now use REASONLEN (120) rather than TOPICLEN | |
51 | - umode +g now exempts users messaging themselves | |
52 | ||
53 | Oper | |
54 | ---- | |
55 | - kline/dline <nick> is no longer supported | |
56 | - oper reasons are now more fully supported | |
57 | - opers can now be hidden from stats p, by flag "invisible" | |
58 | - XLINEs no longer contain a type field, theyll now all just silently reject | |
59 | - xlines are now 'tracked' - stats X shows how many times each xline has | |
60 | rejected a client | |
61 | - temp xlines and resvs | |
62 | - klines set against spoofed users will now take effect when the user | |
63 | connects as well, if the user is not kline_exempt | |
64 | - trace spy now contains target param if its against a single user | |
65 | - the old "you need xline=yes;" notices have been replaced by ERR_NOPRIVS | |
66 | (numeric 723) | |
67 | - umode +C, machine parsable client connect/exit notices which includes the | |
68 | two unused fields sent in the USER command | |
69 | ||
70 | Channels | |
71 | -------- | |
72 | - persistent channels have been removed | |
73 | - quiet_on_ban now uses a cache, which should speed it up | |
74 | ||
75 | Server <-> Server Protocol | |
76 | -------------------------- | |
77 | - support for bursting away messages on connect, controlled by | |
78 | burst_away = yes|no; in general {}; | |
79 | - TS6, the new server <-> server protocol. As part of this you *must* | |
80 | specify a "sid" in serverinfo {}; that is three alphanumeric characters, | |
81 | and must start with a digit. use_ts6 = yes|no; in general controls | |
82 | whether it is actually used or not. For more information, see: | |
83 | http://www.ircd-ratbox.org/TS6.txt | |
84 | - fakename in connect {}; is gone, you can no longer mask servers. | |
85 | - support for encrypted links are gone | |
86 | - global capabilities. The server will now inform the rest of the network | |
87 | over ENCAP about the capabilities of other servers. | |
88 | ||
89 | Misc | |
90 | ---- | |
91 | - support for message translation has been removed. If you want these, | |
92 | modify messages.tab and distribute that. | |
93 | - most of server hiding is gone, only thing that is left is flattened links | |
94 | - flattened links cache is now stored in memory instead of a file | |
95 | - nick delay. any client which splits will have their nick 'locked', until | |
96 | a remote client uses this nick, or until it expires after the time nick_delay | |
97 | in general {}. This prevents the masses of kills from clients 'regaining' | |
98 | nicknames on a short split. | |
99 | - support for disabling bold chars etc in channel names for local users, to | |
100 | prevent faking channels. disable_fake_channels = <yes|no>; in general {}; | |
101 | ||
102 | Code cleanups | |
103 | ------------- | |
104 | - remove mapped ipv4 in ipv6 sockets, the correct native socket will now be | |
105 | used for each. | |
106 | - module API has been rewritten, 1.x modules will no longer work. | |
107 | - hook API has been rewritten | |
108 | - proper handlers for ENCAP commands | |
109 | - support for vms ast i/o | |
110 | - connect {}; and operator {}; are now in their own structs, saving memory | |
111 | in ConfItem | |
112 | - shared/cluster now use the same struct and flags | |
113 | - various other code cleanups thatd take all year to list ;) |
