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 ;)
