This is charybdis 2.2.0, Copyright (c) 2005-2007 Charybdis team. See LICENSE for licensing details (GPL v2). -- charybdis-2.2.0 - The I/O code has been reworked, file descriptor metadata is stored in a hashtable and there are no longer any compiletime defines. - Improve error checking and error messages for kline/dline/xline/resv files. - Allow kline ipv6:address, unkline some.host and unkline ipv6:address without *@. - Add accountability (wallops, log) to OKICK extension. - Add opernick to OPME/OMODE/OJOIN log messages. - Add use_forward option, allows disabling cmode +fFQ and umode +Q. - Add keyword substitution to DNSBL reasons, making it possible to show things like the user's IP address in the reason. - Use sendto_one_notice() more. - Server notices about kills now include the victim's nick!user@host instead of just nick. - Include real hostname in Closing Link message for unknown connections that have sent USER, in particular banned users. - Add some documentation about the SASL client protocol. - Change spambot, flooder and jupe joiner notices from host to orighost. - Remove the last remains of server hostmasking (this made it possible to have multiple servers with similar names appear as a single server). - Keep bitmasks of modularized umodes reserved forever to the letter, avoiding problems when reloading umode modules in a different order. - Fix -logfile. - Update to the new revision (v8) of the TS6 spec, this fixes problems with joins reversing certain mode changes crossing them. This interoperates with older versions. - Put "End of Channel Quiet List" at the end of +q lists. - Fix invisible count getting desynched from reality if the act of opering up sets -i or +i. - Don't leak auth{} spoofed IP addresses in +f notices. - Shorten quit/part/kick reasons to avoid quit reasons overflowing the client exiting server notice (from TOPICLEN to 260). - Fix some cases where 10 char usernames lose their final character. - Move username check after xline and dnsbl checks, so it will not complain to opers about clients who are xlined or blacklisted anyway (both of which silently reject). - Remove invite_ops_only config option, forcing it to YES. - Allow /invite (but not invex) to override +r, +l, +j in addition to +i. - Remove the need to compile in the maximum number of clients, it can be set in ircd.conf now. -- charybdis-2.1.2 - Fix bug that could cause all hostmangled users to be exempted when a single ban exception existed on a channel. - Tweak \s code a little. - Add a minor clarification to the SGML docs. - Avoid truncation in ip_cloaking (by removing components on the other side). Note that this may cause channel +bqeI modes set on such very long hosts to no longer match. -- charybdis-2.1.1 - Search the shortest list (user's/channel's) when looking up channel memberships. - Make the SID-collision notice look right under all conditions. - Move kills from services from +s to +k snomask. - When no_tilde is present on an auth{} block, check the non-tilde version of the user@host against k:lines as well. - Put full reason in the SQUIT reason when a server is rejected for insufficient parameters being passed to a command. - Don't redirect users to an existing domain, irc.fi. - Improve communication of servlink-related error messages. -- charybdis-2.1.0 - Our official website is now http;//www.ircd-charybdis.org/. - Make RPL_ISUPPORT (005 numeric) modularizable. - Also do forwarding if the channel limit (+l) is exceeded. - Don't count opers on service{} servers in /lusers. - Allow servers to send to @#chan and +#chan. - Allow +S clients (services) to send to channels and @/+ channels always. - Allow normal match() on IP address also in /masktrace. - Add new testmask from ratbox 2.2. Allows matches on nick, ip and gecos in addition to user and host, and is fully analogous to masktrace. The numeric has changed from 724 to 727 and fields in it have changed. - Show IP addresses to opers in /whowas. - Add extb_extgecos extban option ($x:nick!user@host#gecos), from sorcery modules. - Add extb_canjoin extban option ($j:#channel), matches if the user is banned from the other channel. - Allow opers to /who based on realhost. - Allow opers to /masktrace, /testmask based on realhost. - Add general::operspy_dont_care_user_info, limits operspy accountability to channel-related information. - Make host mangling more reliable. - Prevent ban evasion by enabling/disabling host mangling. - Add EUID, sends real host and services account in the same command as other user information. - Make it possible to send CHGHOST without ENCAP (fixes problems with old services). - Allow service{} servers to manipulate the nick delay table (for "nickserv enforcement", aka SVSHOLD). - Send server notices about connections initiated by remote opers network wide. - Fix too early truncation of JOIN channel list. - Make the newconf system available to modules. - Add /stats s to the hurt module to list active hurts. - Add general::servicestring, shown in /whois for opered services (+oS). - Show real host/IP behind dynamic spoof in /whois to the user themselves and opers. - Document option to disable nick delay. - Improve logging of server connections. - Clean up handling of hostnames in connect blocks. - Remove support for resolving ip6.int, people should be using ip6.arpa. - Unbreak --disable-balloc (useful for debugging with tools like valgrind). - Make Solaris 10 I/O ports code compile. - Add WEBIRC module to allow showing the real host/IP of CGI:IRC users. - Comment out blacklist{} block in example confs, as AHBL requires notification before use. - Fix some bugs relating to the resolver. -- charybdis-2.0.0 - Replace ADNS with a new smaller resolver from ircu and hybrid. - Make services shortcuts (/chanserv etc) configurable in ircd.conf. - Add extban: extensible +bqeI matching via modules. Syntax is $[:]. By default no modules are loaded. - Add DNS blacklist checking. - Change operator{} block user@host from host to orighost. This means that services/+h spoofs do not work in operator{} blocks; auth{} spoofs still work. Check your operator{} blocks! - Split contrib/ into extensions/ and unsupported/. - Change CHGHOST do show the change to all other clients on common channels with quit/join/mode. - Add /rehash nickdelay to clear out the nickdelay tables. - Glines are now disabled in the example confs. - Show more error messages on stderr. - Add OMODE command to extensions/ for easier oper mode hacking. - Add HURT system to extensions/; this shuns clients matching certain host/ip unless and until they identify to services.

Could be useful for BOPM. - Add sno_routing.c which displays information about netsplits, netjoins and the clients affected by them. - Add CHANTRACE and TRACEMASK commands from ratbox 3.0 - Use IsOperAdmin() instead of IsAdmin() when sending admin-only messages, that way hidden admins get them too. - Add m_error to core_module_table, somehow it was missing. - Correct a format string bug that occurs when a read error is received. - Add some logging in places where we drop servers and only notify server operators. - Track hostmask limits based on a client's original host, if available. - Move HIDE_SPOOF_IPS into the general {} block in ircd.conf -- charybdis-1.0.3 - Fix /invite UID leak.
