Currently, the resolver treats SERVFAIL, NOTIMP, and REFUSED queries the
same as NXDOMAIN, but this really should not be the case. Instead, if
the DNS server errors on our request or provides an invalid request, try
another server.
Also, count DNS server errors in addition to timeouts and avoid these
undesirable servers.
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.
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.
Specifically, what this capability manager does, is map keywords to
calculated bitmasks. These bitmasks are allocated at runtime, so that
the any managed capability index can be manipulated by modules.
Modules should call capability_orphan() when orphaning capabilities. This
makes it so that bitmasks aren't reallocated, except for cases where the
capability is the same.
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.
* 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!
While what chanroles are trying to accomplish is a good idea, it is
apparently unclear this is the proper way to do it. Until we figure out
the exact way we wish to do this, it should be reverted for now.
The theory behind this is that services sends an ENCAP * GRANT #channel
UID :+flagspec message specifying the chanroles the user has. They are
mapped into flag bits and applied to the membership of the user. They
then are restricted or permitted to what they can do based on the
permissions mask regardless of rank.
For backwards compatibility, the default permission bit (without a GRANT
statement) allows a user to to anything an existing op can do ONLY if
they are an op.
Todo: make CHANROLE_STATUS work (the ability to apply +ov to people),
which is at the moment controlled by CHANROLE_MODE.
