(new EOPMOD capab) +- Add new topic command ETB, allowing services to set topic+setter+ts always. + (new EOPMOD capab) +- The slash ('/') character is now allowed in spoofs. +user +- Add can_kick hook, based on the ircd-seven one. +- Add cmode +C (no CTCP) from ircd-seven. +- Flood checking has been reworked. +- Fix op-moderate (cmode +z) for channel names with '@'. +- Add CERTFP support, allowing users to connect with an SSL client + certificate and propagating the certificate fingerprint to other servers. + Services packages can use this to identify users based on client + certificates. +- Maintain the list of recently used targets (for the target change + anti-spam system) in most-recently-used order, overwriting the least + recently used target with a new one. This should be friendlier to users + without giving spambots anything. +- Do not require target change slots for replying to the last five users to + send a private message, notice or invite. +- Apply target change restrictions to /invite. +- Apply umode +g/+R restrictions to /invite, with the difference that + instead of sending " is messaging you" the invite is let through + since that is just as noisy. +oper +- Add /rehash throttles to clear throttling. +- Send all server notices resulting from a remote /rehash to the oper. +- '\s' for space is now part of the matching, not a substitution at xline + time, fixing various issues with it. +- Display o:line "nickname" in oper-up server notices. +- Fix sendq exceeded snotes for servers. +- SCAN UMODES: default list-max to 500, like a global WHO. +- Ignore directory names in MODRELOAD to avoid crashing if it is a core + module and the path is incorrect. +config +- Add channel::only_ascii_channels config option to restrict channel names + to printable ascii only. +- Add channel::resv_forcepart, forcibly parts local users on channel RESV, + default enabled. +misc +- New mkpasswd from ircd-ratbox. +- Check more system calls for errors and handle the errors. +- Various ssld/libratbox bugfixes from ircd-ratbox. [some MERGED] +- Fix fd passing on FreeBSD/amd64 and possibly Solaris/sparc. [MERGED] +- Various documentation improvements. [some MERGED] +- Fix some crash issues. [MERGED] +- Add bandb from ircd-ratbox, which stores permanent dlines/klines/xlines/resvs + in an sqlite database instead of a flatfile and does the storage in a + helper process. + +-- charybdis-3.1.0 + +- Remove TS5 support. No TS5 servers are permitted in a network with + charybdis 3.1.0 or newer, except jupes. +- Replace oper flags by privilege sets (privsets). This adds an extra + level of indirection between oper flags and operator blocks. /stats O + (capital O) shows the configured privsets. +- Update libratbox and ssld from upstream and use it better. +- Add auth_user to auth{}. This allows specifying a username:password instead + of just a password in PASS, so that a fixed user@host is not necessary + for a specific auth{} block. +- Add need_ssl to auth{} and operator{}. This makes these blocks reject + the user if not connected via SSL. +- Allow modules to provide simple channel modes without parameter. +- Remove restrictions on CNAME in the resolver. +- Make the resolver remember nonresponsive nameservers. +- Move nick collision notices from +s to +k. +- Add additional information to various server notices about server + connections. +- Show throttle information in /stats t. +- Show rejectcache and throttle information in /testline. +- Show oper reason in /testline. +- Allow opers to see other users' umodes with /mode . +- SCAN UMODES GLOBAL NO-LIST MASK is no longer an operspy command. +- Also apply floodcount to messages to remote clients (except services). +- Remove user@server messages to local users. Sending such messages to + remote servers is still possible, for securely messaging pseudoservers + whether service{}'ed or not. The special oper-only syntax opers@server + remains as well. +- Allow /list on a named +p channel. A full /list already included +p channels. +- Add operspy /topic. +- For remote rehashes, send error messages to the requesting oper as well. +- Disable autoconnect for a server with excessive TS delta. +- Disallow invites to juped channels. +- Warn about certain duplicate and redundant auth blocks. +- Make PRIVMSG/NOTICE behave as CPRIVMSG/CNOTICE automatically if possible. +- Allow +z messages from outside if a channel is -n. +- Allow coloured part reasons in -c channels. +- Add ircu-like WHOX support. This allows requesting specific information + in /who and allows obtaining services login name for all users in a + channel. XChat/Conspire use WHOX to update away status more efficiently. +- Allow opers and shide_exempt users to see hopcounts even if flatten_links + is on. +- Rework ip_cloaking. +- Add the IP address to userlog, as in ircd-ratbox 3.0. +- Split cidr_bitlen into cidr_ipv4_bitlen and cidr_ipv6_bitlen. +- Allow using ziplinks with SSL connections. This is not as efficient as + using OpenSSL's built in compression, but also works with older versions + of OpenSSL. +- Fix an off by one error with zipstats processing, which could overwrite + a variable with NULL causing a crash on some systems. +- Document some extensions in charybdis-oper-guide. +- Add more server protocol documentation. +- Add m_sendbans extension, SENDBANS command to propagate xlines and resvs + manually. +- Add chm_sslonly extension, cmode +S for SSL/TLS only channels. +- Add chm_operonly extension, cmode +O for IRCop only channels. +- Add chm_adminonly extension, cmode +A for server admin only channels. +- Various code cleanups. + +-- charybdis-3.0.4 + +- Fix a crash on certain recent versions of Ubuntu. +- Allow 127.x.y.z for DNSBL replies instead of just 127.0.0.x. +- Various documentation improvements. + +-- charybdis-3.0.3 + +- Fix IPv6 D:lines +- Fix rejectcache and unknown_count. +- Fix genssl.sh. +- Fix ident for SSL/TLS connections. +- Fix SSL/TLS bugs for servers with more than about 100 connections. +- Small bugfixes. + +-- charybdis-3.0.2 + +- Improve OLIST extension error messages. +- Improve some kline error checking. +- Avoid timing out clients if we are still waiting for a DNSBL lookup. +- Fix resolver hangs with epoll. +- Fix compilation without zlib. + +-- charybdis-3.0.1 + +- Fix occasional hung clients with kqueue. +- Fix a rare ssld crash. +- Fix a bug that could cause incorrect connect failure reasons to be + reported. +- Make the IRCd work on MacOS X again. + -- charybdis-3.0.0 -- The IRCd has been ported to libratbox, which has improved our portability. -- Client SSL and Server-to-Server SSL are now available, read the example.conf - for setup. -- A new extban, $z, has been added for ssl users. +- Port the IRCd to libratbox, which has improved our portability and allows + us to reuse low-level code instead of maintaining our own. +- Change configuration of maximum number of clients to ircd-ratbox 3 way. +- Add adminwall from ircd-ratbox, as an extension. +- Add client and server-to-server SSL, read example.conf for setup. +- Replace servlink with ssld (also for ziplinks). +- A new extban, $z, has been added for ssl users (extensions/extb_ssl.so). - A new compatibility channel mode, +R, has been added, it sets - +q/-q $~a.
