See LICENSE for licensing details (GPL v2). +-- shadowircd-6.2.0 + +other changes +- change kicknorejoin to not be a config option and be hardcoded to 2 seconds + because a longer time is kind of pointless. + +-- shadowircd-6.1.0 + +new configuration options +- general::static_quit - Quit message to display for all users (not opers). +- general::no_part_messages - If this option is set to no, the ircd will not + display PART messages/reasons from users. +- general::true_no_oper_flood - Turns off *ALL* flood protection for opers. + Instead of command flooding being 4x what it is for a user with no_oper_flood, + there is no limit at all. This option also allows opers to flood channels/users + so if you do set it, be extremely careful. +- serverinfo::helpchan and helpurl - These are 2 config options that tell users, + when they do /quote help (with no extra parameters) the official network help + channel and a special URL for help. If these options are disabled, the users + will just get the help index and that's it on /quote help. +- general::default_ident_timeout - Allows you to set the default ident timeout + in the ircd.conf instead of it being hardcoded and only settable with /SET. + +new commands +- CYCLE #channel - server-side CYCLE, also called HOP in some clients/servers. + Parts the user from the given channel, then joins them to it immediately after. + Enabled by loading extensions/m_cycle. + +opers +- Override no longer alows overriding opers to talk through +q, +m, etc. + If you need to talk through one of these modes, its recommended to remove + the offending mode or give yourself voice/ops. +- OLIST now shows channel modes so opers can easily see which channels are + +s and see which channels have oper-only channel modes set. +- RESTART and DIE now can be executed remotely. See the appropriate helpfiles + for details. +- All module management commands (MODLOAD, MODLIST, MODUNLOAD, MODRELOAD and + MODRESTART) can be executed remotely. See the appropriate helpfile for + details. +- OMODE can now set and unset +ah. +- OJOIN now works with !#channel and %#channel. +- Staff channelmodes (+AO) now require chanops to set. +- OPERHOST option added to SET. You can now use SET to change the default + operhost that operators get upon opering up, though like the + general::default_operhost config option it will not override the + operator::vhost config option. + +other +- Added a strip_unprintable function to make evasion of cmodes +G and +K + less trivial. +- Massive helpfile updates. +- Added SVSJOIN s2s command. This allows things like atheme's ns_ajoin + to work on shadowircd. +- Added BAN stuff (propogated bans on burst) from charybdis trunk. This + can be disabled and the old behavior can be used by setting the + general::use_propogated_bans option to no. +- The --enable-small-net configure option is now enabled by default. + If you wish to disable small net mode, pass --disable-small-net to + configure. +- New channel mode adding API has been added from charybdis trunk. +- NOTICE/PRIVMSG @#channel and +#channel now go to admin/halfop as well + as chanop. + +-- shadowircd-6.0.0 + +new modes +- Add umode +C (no CTCP). +- Add umode +V, users with this mode set will never recieve channel invites + from other users. +- Add umode +B which identifies users as being bots in /whois. +- Add umode +G which disallows users from messaging you unless you're both + on at least one channel together. This can be "overridden" with /accept. +- Add cmode +T which blocks all notices to the channel. +- Add cmode +D which blocks all actions (/me's) from being sent to the channel. +- Add cmode +E which disallows channel ops from kicking users. +- Add cmode +N which disallows users from changing their nick while they're on + a channel with this mode set. +- Add cmode +K (norepeat) which will block repeated messages, regardless of + who they're from. +- Add cmode +G which blocks messages containing 50% or more capital letters + from being sent to the channel. +- Add cmode +J which disallows a kicked user from rejoining within 'X' seconds + of them being kicked, where 'X' is the variable of the channel::kick_no_rejoin_time + configuration option. +- Add cmodes +a and +h (admin and halfop, respectively). There are 2 extra + prefixes to more finely-grain the status of staff members in your channels. + They can be enabled or disabled in the configuration file with the options + channel::use_halfop and channel::use_admin. + +new configuration options +- auth::autojoin - This option will specify what channels users in a matching + auth {} block will automatically join on connect to your server/network. +- auth::autojoin_opers - This option will specify what channels opers in a + matching auth {} block will automatically join on oper up (/oper). +- channel::cycle_host_change - This option defines whether or not users + will cycle (part and rejoin) the channels they're in when their host changes. + This can be annoying to some people, but disabling it can cause client desyncs. +- channel::host_in_topic - This option defines whether or not a host setter's + full host or just their nick will be shown on /TOPIC. +- channel::use_local_channels - With this option, you can enable/disable + support for local channels on your server/network. +- channel::exemptchanops - This option defines what channel modes channel + operators are exempt from, channel modes usable in this option are: cCDTNGK. +- general::secret_channels_in_whois - This option defines whether or not opers + can see secret channels that a user is in when whoising them. Secret channels + will show up in the whois prefixed with *. If this option is disabled, opers + will still be able to see secret channels a user is in with the /SPYWHOIS + command. +- Enabled a few popular extensions by default, added a few extensions to the + example config files that were missing, add a few more services aliases + by default, enable ip_cloaking by default and get rid of all the old + ip_cloaking modules. + +opers +- Users' umodes are shown when you whois them. +- swhois support - Adds a mostly free-form line of text to opers' whois + if one is set in their operator {} block. +- custom operstring - Instead of showing the IRC operator or IRC administrator + oper strings, you can customize what it shows in each oper's operator {} + block. +- host-on-oper - Give a vhost to operators upon oper up. Can be defined + generally, then the general option may be overridden by each operator {} + block. +- operoverride - Oper override works very differently in ShadowIRCd compared + to all other IRCd's which support oper override. In ShadowIRCd, to be able + to override, you must have the oper:override privledge and you must then + set umode +p on yourself. The p umode will automatically expire and un-set + itself after a time set in the configuration option general::expire_override_time. +- immune - Adds cmode +M. Opers can set this on a channel (even if they don't + have ops) without the channel's ops or other users seeing (only opers see + this mode at all.) It disallows anyone in the channel from kicking opers. +- OACCEPT/callerid override - In ShadowIRCd 6, opers no longer can simply PM + users that have umodes +g or +G set and the oper is not on their accept list. + To allow opers to still be able to PM users in this situation, OACCEPT has been + added. OACCEPT is a new extension that enables the command /oaccept + which adds a piece of metadata to that use which will allow you to PM them. + +other +- Changed default NICKLEN to 31 (from 15) to fit more closely with other + IRCd's. +- Rebrand many things from Charybdis to ShadowIRCd. +- Move the m_force module to extensions. +- Add a metadata framework. Currently used for swhois, custom operstring, + OACCEPT, cmode +J, cmode +K. + +-- charybdis-3.2.0 + +server protocol +- Apply +z to messages blocked by +b and +q as well. (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. +- Tweaks to spambot checks. +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
