See LICENSE for licensing details (GPL v2). +-- charybdis-3.4-devel + +server protocol +- Allow overriding opers (with the new extension) to op themselves on channels. +- Allow RSFNC to change a nickname's capitalization only. +- Add channel ban forwarding $ much like ircd-seven. Local use + of this is controlled by the channel::use_forward config option. +- Add ENCAP TGINFO to propagate IP addresses that exceeded target change + limits (these get a lower limit when they reconnect). +user +- Consider bogus CTCP ACTION messages (without action text) CTCP (for + cmode +C). +- Send ERR_TOOMANYCHANNELS for each channel join that fails due to channel + limits. +- Add account-notify client capability to notify clients about logins and + logouts of users in common channels. See doc/account-notify.txt. +- Add extended-join client capability to add account name and ircname to JOIN. +- Add topic TS and channel TS constraints for /LIST (T<, T>, C<, C> + parameters as in some other servers). +- Disallow wildcarded nicknames in "hunted" parameters like /stats and /motd. +- Disallow mIRC italics in channel names when disable_fake_channels. +- Add AUTHENTICATE EXTERNAL support, allows SASL authentication using a + certificate fingerprint. +- Allow channel::kick_on_split_riding to protect channels with mlocked keys. +- The NICKLEN token in 005 now only specifies the maximum usable nick length. + The MAXNICKLEN token specifies the maximum nick length any user can have. +- Disallow $ in usernames as this may cause problems with ban forwarding. +- Add an error message (numeric 743) if a ban mask is invalid. +- Extract the underlying IPv4 address from 6to4 and Teredo IPv6 addresses. + Show it in a remote /whois and check channel bans, quiets, D:lines and + K:lines against it. Note that ban exceptions and auth{} blocks are not + checked. +- Allow normal users to perform /privs on themselves, showing some privileges + from the auth{} block. +- Add away-notify client capability, see doc/away-notify.txt. +- Add rate limit for high-bandwidth commands, in particular /who . +- Rate limit /away to help avoid flooding via away-notify. +- Apply colour stripping (cmode +c) and CTCP checking (cmode +C) to messages + to @/+ channel as well. +- Channel mode +c (and other places that disallow colour codes) now also strip + ASCII 4 (a different kind of colour code). +oper +- Add operspy for /list. +- Add a server notice to snomask +b if a user exceeds target change limits. +- Add missing server notice for kills from RSFNC and SVSLOGIN. +- Add /stats C to show information about dynamically loaded server + capabilities. +config +- Add support for linking using SSL certificate fingerprints as the link + credential rather than the traditional password pair. +- Add m_roleplay extension, provides various roleplay commands. +- Add override extension, umode +p oper override for opers with oper:override + permission, with accountability notices and timeout. Note that opers cannot + op themselves if there are older servers on the network. +- Add channel::disable_local_channels config option. +- Add support for IPv6 DNSBLs. A new "type" option specifies the IP version(s) + for which each DNSBL should be checked. +- Make flood control settings configurable by those who know exactly what they + are doing. +- Add serverinfo::nicklen config option to limit the nick length for local + users. Different values of this option do not break the server protocol. +- Add extb_usermode extension, $m:+- extban matching against umodes. +- Extend extb_oper extension to allow matching against oper privileges. +- Add m_remove extension, /remove command as in ircd-seven. +- Add general::away_interval to allow configuring /away rate limiting. +- Add listener::defer_accept to delay accepting a connection until the client + sends data. This depends on kernel support. It may break BOPM checking. +misc +- In mkpasswd, default to SHA512-based crypt instead of MD5-based crypt. +- Add --with-custom-branding and --with-custom-version configure options to + help forks/patchsets distinguish themselves. +- Change version control from Mercurial to GIT. +- Ensure SIGHUP and SIGINT keep working after a SIGINT restart. +- Add --enable-fhs-paths configure option to allow installing into a more + FHS-like hierarchy. + +-- charybdis-3.3.0 + +server protocol +- Add new BAN command, for propagated network-wide bans (K/X:lines and RESVs). + These will burst to new servers as they are introduced, and will stay in sync + across the whole network (new BAN capab). +- Add new MLOCK command, to implement ircd-side channel mode locks. This allows + services to send out a list of mode letters for a given channel which may not + be changed, preventing mode fights between services and client bots (new MLOCK + capab). +user +- New RPL_QUIETLIST(728) and RPL_ENDOFQUIETLIST(729) numerics are used for the + quiet (+q) list, instead of overloading the ban list numerics. +- Users may no longer change the topic of a -t channel if they cannot send to + it. +- Add help for EXTBAN, describing the syntax of extended bans in general, as + well as the most common types. +- Changed AWAY messages are now propagated to other servers. Previously, AWAY + was only propagated when the user was not already away. +- Channel mode +c (and other places that disallow colour codes) now also strip + ASCII 29 (mIRC 7 italics). +- Add auto-accept for user mode +g (callerid): Messaging a user while set +g + will automatically add them to your accept list. +- Add target change for channels. It applies to unopped, unvoiced and unopered + users. This has the effect of stopping spambots which join, message and part + many channels at a time. +- Show RPL_WHOISLOGGEDIN in /whowas as well as in /whois entries. This adds at + most an additional 0.5MB of memory usage. +oper +config +- Add general::use_propagated_bans to switch the new BAN system on or off. +- Add general::default_ident_timeout, to control the timeout for identd (auth) + connections. +- Add channel::channel_target_change to switch the new channel target change limits + on or off. +- Fix class::number_per_ident so that it also applies to connections without + identd. +- Change the example sslport option to 6697, which is more standard than 9999. +misc +- The custom channel mode API has been rewritten, allowing these modules to work + correctly when reloaded, or loaded from the config file. +- The EFNet RBL is now recommended, instead of DroneBL. +- Remove the unsupported modules directory. +- Numerous bug fixes and code cleanups. +- In mkpasswd, default to MD5 crypt instead of insecure DES. + -- charybdis-3.2.0 server protocol
