This will allow us to modularize message processing, e.g. having new modules to manipulate
channel and private messages in new ways.
Yes: it can be used to intercept messages, but such modules are already out in the wild for
charybdis anyway -- so this doesn't really change anything there.
If you are changing the text, then it is your responsibility to provide a pointer to a new
buffer. This buffer should be statically allocated and stored in your module's BSS segment.
We will not, and cannot, free your buffer in core, so dynamically allocated buffers will
cause a memory leak.
This will allow us to simplify m_message considerably, by moving channel mode logic out to
their own modules.
Arbitrarily prefer a forward channel to no forward channel and an
alphabetically higher forward channel to a lower one.
This is a simplistic implementation that generates one MODE message to
local clients for each ban removed (to be replaced).
For simplicity and to avoid amplification of incoming MODE messages,
regular modes may still desync the forward channel of a ban.
Add two mechanism for avoiding name-collisions in a system-wide
installation of charybdis. The ssld and bandb daemons, intended to be
directly used by ircd and not the user, install into libexec when
--enable-fhs-paths is set. For binaries which are meant to be in PATH
(bindir), such as ircd and viconf, there is now an option
--with-program-prefix=progprefix inspired by automake. If the user
specifies --with-program-prefix=charybdis, the ircd binary is named
charybdisircd when installed.
Add support for saving the pidfile to a rundir and storing the ban
database in localstatedir instead of in sysconfdir. This is, again,
conditional on --enable-fhs-paths.
Fix(?) genssl.sh to always write created SSL key/certificate/dh
parameters to the sysconfdir specified during ./configure. The
previous behavior was to assume that the user ran genssl.sh after
ensuring that his current working directory was either sysconfdir or a
sibling directory of sysconfdir.
This becomes important because of away-notify sending aways to common
channels much like nick changes (which are also paced).
Marking as unaway is not limited (but obviously only does something if the
user was away before). To allow users to fix typos in away messages, two
aways are allowed in sequence if away has not been used recently.
If a netburst adds bans or a channel TS change removes bans, +b/-b modes
are generated. Make sure these contain the forward channel, if any.
This appears also broken in ircd-seven.
This adds a new ISUPPORT token, NICKLEN_USABLE which is strictly an informative value.
NICKLEN is always the maximum runtime NICKLEN supported by the IRCd, as other servers may
have their own usable NICKLEN settings. As NICKLEN_USABLE is strictly informative, and
NICKLEN is always the maximum possible NICKLEN, any clients which depend on NICKLEN for
memory preallocation will be unaffected by runtime changes to NICKLEN_USABLE.
The default NICKLEN is 50; the default serverinfo::nicklen in the config file is set to
30, which is the NICKLEN presently used on StaticBox.
They are now in messages, even if client_flood_message_time is not 1.
If client_flood_message_time is not 1 (by default it is), this needs a
configuration change to maintain the same behaviour.
* Deduce allow_read from the client's state (IsFloodDone) rather than
storing it in LocalUser.
* Fix the documentation (in oper /info), however strange
client_flood_burst_rate and client_flood_burst_max may seem, that is
how they currently work.
nenolod gave the thumbs-up to port ircd-seven banfowards to charybdis to spb
for a while, and people have asked about it. Might as well do it since it's a
slow weekend.
Note that as a side effect use_forward is removed from the config and
unconditionally enabled!
