The value 0 indicates the creation time is unknown (currently the case
for bandb).
Also store a creation time for xlines and resvs, but do not use it yet.
When a user receives a private message, notice or RPL_UMODEGMSG,
add the source to a special set of 5 target slots.
These slots are checked in the normal way when sending messages,
allowing a reply without using up a free target.
This feature will not be very useful if a user is being messaged
by many different users; to help this, messages blocked entirely
by +g or +R do not affect the targets. CTCP replies also remain
free in terms of targets.
The server protocol for this is
:<uid> ENCAP * CERTFP :<40 hex chars>
both in new user introductions and in burst.
As in oftc-hybrid, only the user themselves and opers can see the certfp.
Displaying the certfp on connect seems unnecessary to me,
the user can whois themselves if needed.
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.
from ircd-ratbox (dubkat)
A large group is any $$ or $# or a channel with more than
floodcount/2 local members, checked on each server separately.
Note that floodcount checks are done on the sender's server.
The special treatment is active for 15 seconds.
Spaces in xline.conf files are changed to \s in memory
and recognized on unxline, but are not changed in the
file. New xlines are added to xline.conf files with \s.
xline.conf written by this commit or newer will not work
properly with charybdis older than 1124:131254925f32 (which
introduced \s support in match_esc()).
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.
Note that in some cases (different TS delta settings,
heavy lag) it is possible only one of the servers
detects the problem and autoconnect may be left enabled.
The mechanism used for disabling is the same as
/quote set autoconn <server> 0; the A flag in /stats c
disappears and a rehash or /quote set autoconn can put
it back.
