The following is a list of major changes between ircd-ratbox-1.x and
ircd-ratbox-2.0
Config File
-----------
- name="foo"; is no longer supported in connect {}; operator {}; and
class {};. You must now use connect "irc.foo.com" { ... }; etc.
- operator {}; no longer contains a class
- kline_with_connection_closed is gone, replaced with
kline_reason = "Connection closed";
- logging {}; is gone, replaced with more advanced log system - see
example.conf log {}; for more info. Note, by default only very basic
information will be logged.
- support for a specific opers initial umodes on /oper, by umodes = ...;
in operator {};
- added stats_e_disabled = yes|no; to general {};, controlling whether stats
e (which can contain server ips) is never shown to anyone
- support for compressed|encrypted|topicburst|autoconn = yes|no; is gone,
replaced with flags = compressed, encrypted, topicburst, autoconn;
- support for individual auth flags "kline_exempt = yes"; etc removed, now
must use flags = ...; method
- support for individual oper flags "kline = yes;" etc removed, now must use
flags = ...; method.
- extended flags = ...; method to allow negation, so you may prefix a flag
with '~' to negate it. Default oper flags are operwall, remoteban and
encrypted (indicates password is encrypted with mkpasswd)
- new flags in shared {};, tkline, txline and tresv, allowing temp only of
kline, xline and resv respectively.
- new flags in cluster {}; tkline, txline and tresv which will cluster
only the temp of each type. kline, xline and resv will now only
cluster the permanent ones of each type.
- cluster {}; no longer allows a server to place klines etc locally, it
simply dictates who we send to.
- shared {}; is now ordered top-down and the first one that matches the
user@host and server will be used, and the flags taken from this. This
means if a remote oper matches a shared block without kline privs, even
though there is a shared {}; block they match under it with kline privs
they will not be able to place klines.
- added invite_ops_only to channel {}; which will restrict the use of INVITE
to chanops on that channel always, rather than just to +i chans.
Client
------
- /help is now available for all users, as its now cached in memory.
removes config option use_help from general {};
- default CHANNELLEN for local clients is now 50
- AWAYLEN added to 005, default is 90
- kick/part/quit now use REASONLEN (120) rather than TOPICLEN
- umode +g now exempts users messaging themselves
Oper
----
- kline/dline <nick> is no longer supported
- oper reasons are now more fully supported
- opers can now be hidden from stats p, by flag "invisible"
- XLINEs no longer contain a type field, theyll now all just silently reject
- xlines are now 'tracked' - stats X shows how many times each xline has
rejected a client
- temp xlines and resvs
- klines set against spoofed users will now take effect when the user
connects as well, if the user is not kline_exempt
- trace spy now contains target param if its against a single user
- the old "you need xline=yes;" notices have been replaced by ERR_NOPRIVS
(numeric 723)
- umode +C, machine parsable client connect/exit notices which includes the
two unused fields sent in the USER command
Channels
--------
- persistent channels have been removed
- quiet_on_ban now uses a cache, which should speed it up
Server <-> Server Protocol
--------------------------
- support for bursting away messages on connect, controlled by
burst_away = yes|no; in general {};
- TS6, the new server <-> server protocol. As part of this you *must*
specify a "sid" in serverinfo {}; that is three alphanumeric characters,
and must start with a digit. use_ts6 = yes|no; in general controls
whether it is actually used or not. For more information, see:
http://www.ircd-ratbox.org/TS6.txt
- fakename in connect {}; is gone, you can no longer mask servers.
- support for encrypted links are gone
- global capabilities. The server will now inform the rest of the network
over ENCAP about the capabilities of other servers.
Misc
----
- support for message translation has been removed. If you want these,
modify messages.tab and distribute that.
- most of server hiding is gone, only thing that is left is flattened links
- flattened links cache is now stored in memory instead of a file
- nick delay. any client which splits will have their nick 'locked', until
a remote client uses this nick, or until it expires after the time nick_delay
in general {}. This prevents the masses of kills from clients 'regaining'
nicknames on a short split.
- support for disabling bold chars etc in channel names for local users, to
prevent faking channels. disable_fake_channels = <yes|no>; in general {};
Code cleanups
-------------
- remove mapped ipv4 in ipv6 sockets, the correct native socket will now be
used for each.
- module API has been rewritten, 1.x modules will no longer work.
- hook API has been rewritten
- proper handlers for ENCAP commands
- support for vms ast i/o
- connect {}; and operator {}; are now in their own structs, saving memory
in ConfItem
- shared/cluster now use the same struct and flags
- various other code cleanups thatd take all year to list ;)

# $Id: whats-new-2.1.txt 6 2005-09-10 01:02:21Z nenolod $
The following is a list of the major changes between ircd-ratbox-2.0 and
ircd-ratbox-2.1.
Config file
-----------
- IP entries within exempt {}; can now be stacked, eg:
exempt { ip = "127.0.0.1"; ip = "192.168.0.0/24"; };
- shared {}; has been completely reworked so that it allows stacking.
shared {}; blocks for 2.0 and earlier will no longer work.
See example.conf for the new format.
- cluster {}; has been reworked to allow stacking.
cluster {}; blocks for 2.0 and earlier will no longer work.
See example.conf for the new format.
- New auth flag, jupe_exempt. When set on a client, that client will not
generate jupe warning notices when they try to join juped channels.
- You may no longer specify klines, dlines, xlines and resvs in ircd.conf.
Instead, there is no support for banconfigs with a ".perm" extension,
eg kline.conf.perm. Anything within a .perm file will be read, but
cannot be removed via the ircd. The format of these files is the same
format as their normal non-permanent counterpart. So kline.conf.perm
takes the same format as kline.conf, and so on.
- rehash and kill -HUP no longer reread the ban configs kline.conf etc.
You must now use /rehash bans, or kill -USR2
- New config option to general {};, dline_with_reason = yes|no;. Default no.
Traditionally, when a client connects and is dlined, the reason is never
shown. Enabling this will output the reason to clients.
Client
------
- Support for "deaf", umode +D. When a client is 'deaf', they will not
receive any messages sent towards channels. They will still receive joins
etc, but normal channel chat will not be sent. Any private messages
will still be sent.
- Target change anti-spam system. Restrictions are now placed upon how many
different clients (not channels) can be messaged within a specific time
period.
- Server-side notify lists. These allow a client to request a server
notifies them when a nickname comes online or goesoffline. See
doc/monitor.txt for more information.
- Client capabilities. These allow clients to negotiate capabilities with
the server. Currently supports:
- multi-prefix: A +ov client will have "@+" shown in names/who replies.
Oper
----
- RESVs are now tracked. Stats q/Q have been modified so that the first
field of the output is now a number indicating how many times the RESV
has been hit.
ratbox-services support (non-efnet)
-----------------------------------
- For those of you using ratbox-services, there is now compatibility code
within ircd, enabled by passing '--enable-services' to configure.
See doc/services.txt for more information.
Code cleanups
-------------
- Removed the custom file implementation, use the system one instead.
- The hook system has been redesigned, theres now a more thorough set of
hooks that may be used. See docs/hooks.txt
- Removed support for VMS. It hasnt worked for a long time.
- Cleanups to the expiry of temp klines/dlines.
- Various other things ;-).
- Better splitcode, it now works on how many servers have notified
us of burst finishing, rather than how many servers are linked to the
network.
