Changes:
* Added support for the IRCv3 Labeled Response specification.
* Added support for help topics to the helpop module.
* Added support for pagination to the index output of the HELPOP
command.
* Added support for passing module names to --{disable,enable} using
their short names (e.g. --enable-extras ssl_gnutls).

--{disable,enable}-extras (e.g. --enable-extras "ssl_gnutls
ssl_mbedtls").
* Added support for the X-Real-IP and X-Forwarded-For headers to the
websocket module.
* Added the codepage module — a better solution for custom 8-bit

* Developer: add a status char option to Channel::WriteNotice for
sending status messages.
* Developer: add the ClientProtocol::MessageTagEvent class to allow
handling message tags easier.
* Developer: added MessageTarget::GetName to allow easily getting the

a command is blocked.
* Developer: added the UserManager::ULineCount method for counting
pseudoclients on ulined servers.
* Developer: added the inspircd.org/poison capability which rejects any
attempt to request it to avoid clients requesting all available
capabilities rather than the ones they support.
* Developer: added the stdalgo:delete_zero method for deleting and
zeroing a pointer.
* Developer: deprecated the ProtocolInterface::Send{Channel,User}Notice
methods in favour of SendMessage.

arguments when processing a command with multiple targets.
* Improve the warning process when starting InspIRCd as root.
* Improved the ban message shown to users if they are banned by an
extban.
* Improved the output when a port can not be bound.
* Removed the preceding - from the MOTD, server operator MOTD, and any
custom MOTDs added with the showfile module.
* Renamed <chanhistory:notice> to <chanhistory:prefixmsg> so the
behaviour is less ambiguous.

and show off some of the escape codes.
Upgrade notes (seem like there are very few breaking changes):
https://www.unrealircd.org/docs/Upgrading_from_4.x
What's new in UnrealIRCd 5:
* Channel history. You can now see the last couple of lines that have
been said on channels when you JOIN. For this you need to set channel
mode +H, eg: eg: /MODE #chan +H 15:1440
* More IRCv3 features. Additional details are communicated to clients
which may help with displaying information. Implemented specs are:
account-tag, message-ids, time, echo-message, labeled-response and
BATCH.
* Ban exceptions (/ELINE). You can now exempt users dynamically on IRC
from *LINES, spamfilter, throttling, blacklist checking, connection
floods, bypassing antirandom, etc. Just type /ELINE on IRC to see
details.
* *LINES and Spamfilters are remembered: All of these are saved to a
file every few minutes and saved across reboots. This uses the new
tkldb module (loaded by default). No need for services for that
anymore.
* Persistent channels are remembered: For channels which have mode +P
set we now save all channel settings across reboots (topic, regular
modes and +beI lists). This via the channeldb module (loaded by
default).
* Anti connect-flood measures. In the last few 4.2.x versions we
introduced Connthrottle and reputation. In 5.x these modules are now
loaded by default for increased security.
* Easily restrict commands to fight drones. You can now disable any
command or impose restrictions, such as: command can only be executed
after being connected for XX seconds, or if you are identified to
services, etc. See the example for how to restrict LIST, INVITE and
messaging.
* Module manager for managing 3rd party modules easily. Install and
update modules with a single command.
* Condition configuration. You can have condition configuration where
you e.g. @define $IP "203.0.113.1" and can use $IP everywhere in the
configuration file. Similarly, support for @if-blocks. This is
especially useful for advanced users who like to use the same
configuration file on multiple machines, usually with the help of
remote includes.
* Improved Channel Mode +L now kicks in for any rejected join, so not
just for +l but also for +b, +i, +O, +z, +R and +k. If, for example,
the channel is +L #insecure and also +z then, when an insecure user
ties to join they will be redirected to #insecure.
* Ban forwards. New extended ban ~f to forward users to the specified
channel if the ban matches. Example: MODE #chan +b
~f:#badisp:*!*@*.isp.org
* Improved WebSocket support. We already supported websockets, but now
we support websocket type 'text', which is compatible with web IRC
clients such as Kiwi IRC.
* Code cleanups. The biggest effort of all went into cleaning up old
code and making the code much more readable. This also means that
UnrealIRCd 5 will not be able to link with really older servers or
services, like UnrealIRCd 3.2.x.
* Windows version is 64-bits. This should allow for increased address
space and security. This also means UnrealIRCd 5 will not run on
32-bits Windows (should be rare nowadays, anyway)
Changes since 8.2.27:
-- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.28 (2020-01-26)
o) Fixed issue with topics set by TBURST not being propagated properly to clients
o) Allow IRC operators to search for real hosts in "WHO"
o) Ban/exempt/invex masks are now also tested against realhosts to prevent clients
from bypassing channel bans by activating a fakehost
o) For a full list of all changes in this release, see https://git.io/JvqpT
pkglint -r --network --only "migrate"
As a side-effect of migrating the homepages, pkglint also fixed a few
indentations in unrelated lines. These and the new homepages have been
checked manually.

libgadu is library for handling Gadu-Gadu instant messenger protocol. For a
long time it was an intergral part of ekg application but due to packaging
issues and use in other appliactions it became a project on its own.
Proprietary protocol was reverse engineered which may make libgadu less than
100% compatible with the original.
pkglint --only "https instead of http" -r -F
With manual adjustments afterwards since pkglint 19.4.4 fixed a few
indentations in unrelated lines.
This mainly affects projects hosted at SourceForce, as well as
freedesktop.org, CTAN and GNU.
This used to be part of GNOME (I guess? never heard of it before), but
the last release was pushed to ftp.gnome.org over 10 years ago.
Despite this, the version in pkgsrc is not the most recent release.
Other vendors have packages named 'gossip' but they appear to be for a
different piece of software...
There's plenty of other XMPP clients in pkgsrc to try.

Upstream is gone, and there have been numerous changes to the ICQ protocol
that rendered third-party clients non-functional since this was last updated.
Upstream is gone, and there have been numerous changes to the ICQ protocol

(in 2000...?)
Upstream is gone, and there have been numerous changes to the ICQ protocol
that rendered third-party clients non-functional since this was last updated.
There is an archive on GitHub which states:
"This is just an archive of very old project. It's not supported,
not functional and has no other value except sentimental"
Warnings are emitted in example code because some dependencies has depracated
some things. This breaks the build because -Werror is used. So turn it off.
Bug fix only update to a leaf package.
* fix various incorrect parsing of IRC messages relating to trailing parameters
* fix SASL negotiation combined with multi-line cap
* fix input box theming with Yaru theme
* python: Work around Python 3.7 regression causing crash on unload
* sysinfo: Add support for /etc/os-release
* sysinfo: Ignore irrelevant mounts when calculating storage size

Fix potential NULL dereference in modules/crypto/posix
Backport some modules/crypto/pbkdf2v2 improvements from master
Backport modules/crypto/argon2d from master
Backport Base-64 codec from master
Backport some build/configuration system improvements from master
Bump E-Mail address maximum length to 254 characters

Fix m_httpd to not consider headers to be case sensitive
Add InspIRCd 3 protocol support
Add 'n' email token for use in the email change template
Add logging for NickServ UNGROUP

Fix superadmin not being removed when deopering
Fix setting nickserv access list in webcpanel
Add support for post-handshake SASL in Unreal 4.2.2+
Add logging for channel memo deletionso
This fixes some small problems (e.g. with the display of the date the topic
was set) when connecting to IRC networks running newer, standards-compliant
server implementations.
I'm backporting these fixes because I'm not expecting a new HexChat release
to be made any time soon.
Bump PKGREVISION
This variable is not in PLIST_VARS and does not appear in the PLIST.
(It remains for someone who wants to use jabberd2 with websockets to
see if that option works and, if not, fix it.)
Changes:

Development on this stopped in favour of Empathy and other clients many
years ago. Due to recent protocol changes, unmaintained ICQ clients cannot
be expected to continue working.
This services package is very old and unmaintained.
Supposedly it doesn't work without -fno-stack-protector. Not a good sign.
If I have my IRC history right, chat/anope is a fork of epona, which was a
fork of this.
PR pkg/49014
Changes:
- Fix a use after free issue when receiving IRCv3 CAP information from the server (GL#34)
- Fix a crash during startup when windows weren’t fully initialised yet (#1114, bdo#935813)
Reassurance:
- Most servers do not send duplicate CAP.
### InspIRCd 3.3.0
* Added PackageInfo directives for ArchLinux.
* Changed the maximum value for `<chanfilter:maxlen>` from 100 to 250.

IRCv3 Standard Replies draft:
https://github.com/ircv3/ircv3-specifications/blob/master/extensions/standard-replies.md
* Developer: added the OnConnectionFail event for suspending a user connection
which is about to fail.
* Developer: added the `ExtensionItem::{To,From}{Human,Internal,Network}`
methods to convert an extension item to and from various string forms.
* Developer: added the `MessageEventListener` class for adding tags to server
messages.
* Developer: added the
`{EventHandler,StreamSocket,UserIOHandler}::SwapInternals` methods to swap the
internals of two sockets.
* Developer: deprecated the ServerEventListener clas and split the events
contained within it into the
`ServerProtocol::{BroadcastEventListener,LinkEventListener,SyncEventListener}
classes.
* Developer: deprecated the `SerializeFormat` enum, and the `serialize`,
`unserialize` methods of the `ExtensionItem` class, and the `LocalExtItem`
class.
* Fixed a **crash** in the MySQL module when built against mariadb-connector-c
v3.0.5 or newer.
* Fixed allowing the `sasl` capability to be requested when the SASL server is
offline.
* Fixed empty `GLOBOPS` and `WALLOPS` messages not failing with an
`ERR_NOTEXTTOSEND` message.
* Fixed listener sockets with `<bind:replace>` enabled not being replaced in
some circumstances.
* Fixed not applying IRCv3 `server-time` timestamps on the server the source
is connecting from.
* Fixed not being able to use the `O` (oper) extban to server operators with a
space in their server operator type.
* Fixed referring to registration timeouts as ping timeouts in the
`conn_waitpong` module.
* Fixed sending IRCv3 `account-notify` and `chghost` messages to a user who
has not sent the `NICK` and `USER` commands yet.
* Fixed sending IRCv3 `cap-notify` messages for capabilities which are not
presently visible in `CAP LS`.
* Fixed the `geo_maxmind` module trying to interpret an `AF_UNIX` endpoint as
an IP address.
* Improved the message sent to server operators when the maximum connections
for a connect class is reached.
* Updated the vendored `utfcpp` library to v3.1.
This release fixes a crash bug in the mysql module as well as fixing
several minor issues:
* Fixed BanCache entries existing after X-line expiry.
* Replaced all references to the dead InspIRCd wiki with the new InspIRCd
docs site.
* Updated all documentation links to use https.
* Updated the Module Manager source list for the new inspircd-contrib
repository.
InspIRCd v2 is now deprecated and will no longer receive security updates
after 2020-06-01.
The pkgsrc version was being used, but not being detected properly
by configure. I'm guessing the configure script is assuming Debian
version numbers or something.
This release fixes a crash issue if UnrealIRCd is configured to use utf8 or
chinese character sets in set::allowed-nickchars. We don't expect many users
to run their IRCd with this enabled, as the utf8 support was tagged as
experimental and the chinese/gbk implementation is incomplete.
This release also contains a number of other fixes and enhancements.
In particular the reputation and connthrottle modules are now working
better and there were some major Windows fixes.
miniircd is a small and limited IRC server written in Python. Despite its
size, it is a functional alternative to a full-blown ircd for private or
internal use. Installation is simple; no configuration is required.

* Fixed search not working on Mastodon versions before 2.8.0. search now dynamically selects search_v1 or search_v2 and adjusts valid parameters depending on the detected Mastodon version.
* Added blurhash decoding.
v1.4.0
------
There are some breaking changes in this release, though less than you might think, considering
this goes all the way from version 2.4.3 to 2.8.0.
* BREAKING CHANGE: Changed streaming API behaviour to make the initial connection asynchronous (Thanks to Shura0 for the detailed report)
* Old behaviour: The initial connection could fail, the stream functions would then throw an exception.
* New behaviour: The initial connection function just returns immediately. If there is a connection error, the listeners on_abort handler is called to inform the user and the connection is retried.
* BREAKING CHANGE: search() now calls through to search_v2. The old behaviour is available as search_v1.
* Added support for polls (Added in 2.8.0)
* Added support for preferences API (Added in 2.8.0)
* Added support for the boost visibility parameter (Added in 2.8.0)
* Added support for type, limit, offset, min_id, max_id, account_id on the search API (Added in 2.8.0)
* Added support for scheduled statuses (Added in 2.7.0)
* Added support for account creation via the API (Thanks gargron for clarifying many things here and in other places. Added in 2.7.0)
* Added support for conversation streaming / stream_direct (Added in 2.6.0)
* Added support for conversations (Added in 2.6.0)
* Added support for report forwarding (Added in 2.5.0)
* Added support for multiple OAuth redirect URIs and forcing the user to re-login in OAuth flows.
* Added support for app_verify_credentials endpoint (Added in 2.7.2).
* Added support for min_id based backwards pagination (Added in 2.6.0). The old method is still supported for older installs.
* Added support for account pins / endorsements (Added in 2.5.0).
* Updated documentation for changes to entities.
* Added the ability to access non-authenticated endpoints with no app credentials (Thanks to cerisara for the report and codl).
* Fixed the streaming API not working with gzip encoding (Thanks to bitleks for the report).
* Added more explicitly caught error classes (Thanks to lefherz).
* Improved Pleroma support including content-type and pagination fixes (Thanks to jfmcbrayer for the report and codl).
* Added better session support (Thanks to jrabbit).
* Fixed dependencies (Thanks to jrabbit).
* Fixed variousmime type issues (Thanks to errbufferoverfl and jfmcbrayer).
* Improved the example code (Thanks to MarkEEaton).
* Fixed various small documentation issues (Thanks to allo-).
The Steam protocol plugin for bitlbee. This plugin uses the Steam Mobile
API allowing it to run alongside the main Steam client. It is worth noting
that the Steam Mobile API is HTTP based, which does lead to mild latency.
The Facebook protocol plugin for bitlbee.
This plugin uses the Facebook Messenger MQTT-based protocol.

Previously CA_FILE was undefined and lead to using
`/etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt'. Pass the gnutls default trust store file
that - at least if `gnutls' option is enabled - should be always present.
Bump PKGREVISION.
Should enable users to run most scripts available on weechat.org.
If you're using pkgsrc you probably have python/perl/lua installed already,
and ruby apparently even works on VAX, so this shouldn't be much of a hard
requirement.
joyent has been building with these settings for a while.
This version of InspIRCd was released on 2019-06-05.

lines individual messages are equivalent to.
- Added <permchanneldb:saveperiod> to allow customising how often the
permchannels module should check whether its database needs to be
saved.
- Added <sslprofile:tlsv11> and <sslprofile:tlsv12> to the ssl_openssl

/var/log/inspircd.
- Fixed the denychans module not checking whether the redirect channel
is allowed properly.
- Fixed the exemptchanops module not validating list entries.

repository.
licq has not been able to connect to ICQ servers since 28th December 2018,
while upstream discontinued development in 2014 and has no plans to start
over.
Also, these packages have not been updated since 2007, so I doubt anyone
has used this in a long time.
https://github.com/licq-im/licq/issues/53
Changes:
- Fix a test on big endian machines (#1014)
- Fix the compile time conditionality of wcwidth
implementation (#1019, gentoo#677804, #720)

POSIX.1-2008) (#1042, #1043)
- Fix regression of #764 where display of 8-bit (legacy
encoding) in the input prompt was broken (#1018,
#1057). Initial patch by Артём Курашов
- Fix regression of #779 where autolog_ignore_targets would
not matching itemless windows anymore (#1012, #1013)

MSN Messenger is dead.
This version is from 2005 and isn't the most recent release (last release:
0.97, in 2011, just before MSN died), but all of them will fail to build
once the world goes fully OpenSSL 1.1.
This hasn't been updated since 2005, the HOMEPAGE and MASTER_SITES are
dead, and the DESCR describes it as alpha-quality. It's also failing to
build.
As far as other packaging systems go, I can only find this in FreeBSD
Ports, where it was removed.
I can't find anything that depends on it, either.
This option is somewhat confusing currently. This does /not/ control
support for logging in to IRC servers using SASL, which happily works
without the dependency.
Among the new features:
- add support of UNIX domain sockets in relay plugin
- add option relay.weechat.commands
- add trigger hooks "info" and "info_hashtable"
- add option xfer.network.speed_limit_recv
- add option weechat.look.buffer_time_same
- add option weechat.look.prefix_same_nick_middle
- add option "addreplace" in command /filter
- add bar items "irc_nick", "irc_host" and "irc_nick_host"
- add functions command_options and string_match_list in plugin API
- rename aspell plugin to spell
- use getopt to parse command line arguments
- many bugs fixed.
Version 3.6:
- irc/core:
* Add server-time IRCv3 capability (blastrock)
* Add PROXY command for haproxy/stunnel
* Large performance improvements for large contact lists
* Many UX/documentation improvements
* Added built-in crash handler that writes to /var/lib/bitlbee/crash.log
* Try to join long spaceless lines in paste_buffer without a newline. The
main use case for this is pasting long URLs and not breaking them
* Fix status message being set to null accidentally
* Fix handling utf8 nick renames when loading configs (MaskRay)
* Fix SSL's SNI with hostnames starting with a digit (CMB)
* Show correct nick when `rename -del` is used (arcnmx)
- twitter:
* Disable the stream setting by default. Filter streams still work.
* Update default character limit to 280 chars (qyliss)
* Fix quote tweet url display.
- jabber:
* Try to join anyway after "Already present in chat"
* Fix chat joins when ext_jid is provided for your own user.
Seen with Biboumi (a gateway from XMPP to IRC)
* Handle always_use_nicks more gracefully to reduce nick change noise
- otr:
* Don't block attempts to connect/smp/smpq to "offline" users
- Removed dead protocols:
* msn: Use the skypeweb purple plugin instead.
* skype (the dbus based thing): ditto.
* yahoo: It's so dead even the replacement protocol died.
* oscar: AIM is dead, for ICQ use the icyque purple plugin instead.
- For plugin devs:
* Add datadir to pkgconfig file and config.h (sm00th)
* Add "bitlbee-set-account-password" purple signal (for hangouts)
* Support libpurple 2.12.0's PURPLE_MESSAGE_REMOTE_SEND for groupchat
self-messages (for slack)
- Packaging/distro specific stuff:
* bitlbee@.service now sends stderr to syslog instead of the socket
* debian: only enable bitlbee.service, not bitlbee.socket too
* cygwin: portability fixes for plugins
* Support OpenSSL 1.1 built without backwards compat (cotequeiroz)
Changes since 8.2.25:
-- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.26 (2019-05-31)
o) The 'general::tkline_expire_notices' configuration directive has been
replaced with user mode 'X'. *LINE expiration notices are sent to IRC
operators with that mode set
o) Fixed issue with '/rehash conf' creating duplicated class entries
instead of updating existing ones that are already in use
o) For a full list of all changes in this release, see https://git.io/fj0bx
Changes since 8.2.24:
-- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.25 (2019-04-24)
o) The 'class::number_per_ip', 'class::max_local' and 'class::max_global'
configuration directives have been replaced with just 'class::number_per_ip_local'
and 'class::number_per_ip_global'. The 'class::max_local' basically was
redundant as it had the same functionality as 'class::number_per_ip'
o) Adding RESVs with wildcards no longer requires administrator privileges
o) The 'general::ignore_bogus_ts' configuration option has been deprecated
o) TLSv1.1 and TLSv1.0 are no longer supported and have been disabled in
the openssl and gnutls module
o) Minimum supported OpenSSL version is 1.0.1f now
o) Minimum supported GnuTLS version is 3.5.8 now
o) The 'serverinfo::vhost' and 'serverinfo:vhost6' configuration directives have
been deprecated. If you need to bind() a specific address you can specify one
in the connect {} block
o) The 'connect::vhost' configuration directive has been renamed to 'connect::bind'
Changes:
* Added a configure option, --disable-auto-extras, which disables
automatically enabling extras for which the dependencies are
available.
* Added support for disabling a STS policy for users in specific
connect classes.
* Added support for the IRCv3 Message IDs specification.
* Fixed a crash in the silence module on some older versions of
GCC.
* Fixed linking against v2 servers running the ASCII case mapping
module from inspircd-extras.
* Fixed an inverted condition in the commonchans module which made
the module not work.
* Fixed configure not failing when invalid options were passed to
it.
* Fixed pending X-lines only being applied to a single user.
* Fixed servers not specifying whether they are hidden. If no
visibility is specified then servers default to the visibility of
their parent server.
This release contains minor bug fixes and documentation corrections.
Most notably:
* Fixed building on NetBSD.
* Fixed building on Windows.
* Fixed building with older libc implementations.
* Fixed setting a distribution label.
* Fixed higher <maxlist> values not being shown in MAXLIST.
(This mainly means workarounds can be deleted from pkgsrc).
Changes:
* remove shift+click binding to close tabs
* re-add option to build against legacy perl
* add appstream metainfo for plugins
* add build option to set perl binary
* add option to build without appstream
* fix not unminimizing when restoring from tray
* fix translations containing invalid text events
* fix server passwords starting with :
* update libraries on windows, fixing CVE-2018-15120 (and emoji!)
This release contains many major new enhancements, some of which include:
* Full support for all currently ratified IRCv3 extensions.
* Support for WebSocket connections.
* Support for the bcrypt and PBKDF2 password hashing algorithms.
* Support for the WHOX extension.
* Support for UNIX socket connections.
* Support for the HAProxy PROXY protocol.
* Many performance improvements.
To upgrade from v2 (chat/inspircd) please consult the list of config
changes:
https://docs.inspircd.org/3/configuration-changes/
Without gettext-lib and msgfmt being available, package creation fails
because the locale files aren't generated.
Similar reasoning for gnutls as inspircd - anope is based on an old
version of inspircd and is also GPLv2 with no exception for OpenSSL.
gnutls is the recommended TLS library for both.
New
* Add a mobile phone indicator to the chat window
* Rework HTTPUpload dialog
* Add a "paste as quote" option to the message input

* Use UUID4 item ids for pubsub posts
* Dont send invalid show values
* Windows: Dont override format region settings
* Various smaller improvements
The tarball was silently updated without a release. After diffing this
against the git tag, the updated tarball seems to change some if statements
from if (x = y) to if (x == y)...
766055d5c0
The bug fixed by this change is apparently not exploitable.
Changes from 1.7.2 to 1.7.3:
* Fix CVE-2019-9917.
ZNC before 1.7.3-rc1 allows an existing remote user to cause a
Denial of Service (crash) via invalid encoding.
Changes between version 4.2.1 and 4.2.2:
Improvements:
Quicker connection handshake for clients which use CAP and/or SASL.
With "TOPIC #chan" and "MODE #chan +b" (and +e/+I) you can see who set the topic and bans/exempts/invex. The default is to only show the nick of the person who set the item. This can be changed (not the default) by setting:
set { topic-setter nick-user-host; };
set { ban-setter nick-user-host; };
The 'set by' and 'set at' information for +beI lists are now synchronized when servers link. You still see the MODE originating from the server, however when the banlist is queried you will now be able to see the original nick and time of the bansetter rather than serv.er.name. If you want the OLD behavior you can use: set { ban-setter-sync no; };
The default maximum topic length has been increased from 307 to 360.
You can now set more custom limits. The default settings are shown below:
set {
topic-length 360; /* maximum: 360 */
away-length 307; /* maximum: 360 */
quit-length 307; /* maximum: 395 */
kick-length 307; /* maximum: 360 */
};
The message sent to users upon *LINE can now be adjusted completely via set::reject-message::kline and set::reject-message::gline.
New set::anti-flood::max-concurrent-conversations which configures the maximum number of conversations a user can have with other users at the same time.
Until now this was hardcoded at limiting /MSG and /INVITE to 20 different users in a 15 second period. The new default is 10 users, which serves as a protection measure against spambots.
New set::max-targets-per-command which configures the maximum number of targets accepted for a command, such as 4 to allow e.g. /MSG nick1,nick2,nick3,nick4 hi.
Also changed the following defaults (previously hardcoded):
PRIVMSG from 20 to 4 targets, to counter /amsg spam
NOTICE from 20 to 1 target, to counter /anotice spam
KICK from 1 to 4 targets, to make it easier for channel operators to quickly kick a large amount of spambots
Added INVITE and KNOCK flood protection (command rate limiting):
set::anti-flood::invite-flood now defaults to 4 per 60 seconds (previously the effective limit was 1 invite per 6 seconds).
set::anti-flood::knock-flood now defaults to 4 per 120 seconds.
New set::outdated-tls-policy which describes what to do with clients that use outdated SSL/TLS protocols (eg: TLSv1.0) and ciphers.
The default settings are to warn in all cases: users connecting, opers /OPER'ing up and servers linking in. The user will see a message telling them to upgrade their IRC client.
This should help with migrating such users, since in the future, say one or two years from now, we would want to change the default to only allow TSLv1.2+ with ciphers that provide Forward Secrecy. Instead of rejecting clients without any error message, this provides a way to warn them and give them some time to upgrade their outdated IRC client.
Major issues fixed:
Crash issue in the 'websocket' module.
Minor issues fixed:
The advertised "link-security" was incorrectly downgraded from level 2 to 1 if spkifp was used as an authentication method.
In case of a crash, the ./unrealircd backtrace script was not working correctly in non-English environments, leading to less accurate bug reports.
Various crashes if a server receives incorrect commands from a trusted linked server.
A number of memory leaks on REHASH (about 1K).
SASL was not working post-registration, eg: when services link back in. This is now fixed in UnrealIRCd, but may require a services update as well.
Changed:
The noctcp user mode (+T) will now only block CTCP's and not CTCP REPLIES. Also, IRCOps can bypass user mode +T restrictions.
The server will warn if your ulines { } are matching UnrealIRCd servers.
The m_whox module now contains various features that m_who already had.
Also, m_whox will try to convert classic UnrealIRCd WHO requests such as "WHO +i 127.0.0.1" to whox style "WHO 127.0.0.1 i".
Unfortunately auto-converting WHO requests is not always possible. When in doubt the WHOX syntax is assumed. Users are thus (still) encouraged to use the whox style when m_whox is loaded.
For module coders:
New hook HOOKTYPE_WELCOME (aClient *acptr, int after_numeric): allows you to send a message at very specific places during the initial welcome.
New Isupport functions: IsupportSet, IsupportSetFmt and IsupportDelByName.
The M_ANNOUNCE flag in the command add functions should no longer be used as CMDS= is removed. Please update your module.
New "SJSBY" in PROTOCTL, which is used in SJOIN to sync extra data. See the last part of the SJOIN documentation.
For a command with 2 arguments, eg "PRIVMSG #a :txt", parv[1] is "#a", parv[2] is "txt" and parv[3] is NULL. Any arguments beyond that, such as parv[4] should not be accessed. To help module coders with detecting such bugs we now poison unused parv[] elements that should never be accessed. Note that without this poison your code will also crash, now it just crashes more consistently.
IRC protocol:
This section is intended for client coders and people interested in IRC protocol technicalities
Many changes in the tokens used in numeric 005 (RPL_ISUPPORT):
Removed CMDS= because this was an unnecessary abstraction and it was not picked up by any other IRCd.
The tokens KNOCK MAP USERIP have been added (moved from CMDS=..)
STARTTLS is no longer advertised in 005 since doing so would be too late. Also, STARTTLS is not the preferred method of using SSL/TLS.
Added TARGMAX= to communicate set::max-targets-per-command limits.
Removed the MAXTARGETS= token because TARGMAX= replaces it.
Added DEAF=d to signal what user mode is used for "deaf"
Added QUITLEN to communicate the set::quit-length setting (after all, why communicate length for KICK but not for QUIT?)
The 005 tokens are now sorted alphabetically
When hitting the TARGMAX limit (set::max-targets-per-command), for example with "/MSG k001,k002,k003,k004,k005 hi", you will see:
:server 407 me k005 :Too many targets. The maximum is 4 for PRIVMSG.
When hitting the set::anti-flood::max-concurrent-conversations limit (so not per command, but per time frame), you will see:
:server 439 me k011 :Message target change too fast. Please wait 7 seconds
When hitting the set::anti-flood::invite-flood limit you will get:
:server 263 me INVITE :Flooding detected. Please wait a while and try again.
When hitting the set::anti-flood::knock-flood limit you will get:
:server 480 me :Cannot knock on #channel (You are KNOCK flooding)
Not a protocol change. But when a server returns from a netsplit and syncs modes such as: :server MODE #chan +b this!is@an.old.ban
Then later on you can query the banlist (MODE #chan b) and you may see the actual original setter and timestamp of the ban. So if a user wishes to see the banlist then IRC clients are encouraged to actively query the banlist before displaying it. Fortunately most clients do this.
If the set::topic-setter or set::ban-setter are set to nick-user-host then the "added by" field in numerics that show these entries will contain nick!user@host instead of nick, eg:
:server 367 me #channel this!is@some.banbansetter!user@some.host 1549461765
inspircd is GPLv2 and does not have an exception to allow linking against
OpenSSL. The inspircd documentation also describes the gnutls module as
performing better and being preferred in most cases.

Quassel IRC is a modern, cross-platform, distributed IRC client
based on the Qt framework.
Distributed means that one (or multiple) client(s) can attach to
and detach from a central core that stays permanently online --
much like the popular combination of screen and a text-based IRC
client such as WeeChat, and similar to (but much more featureful
than) so-called BNCs. Re-attaching your client will show your IRC
session in the same state as you left it in (plus whatever happened
while you were gone), and this even when you re-attach from a
different location.
In addition, Quassel IRC can be used like a traditional client,
with providing both client and core functionality in one binary.
This so-called "Monolithic Client" completely hides the distributed
nature, so for a purely local installation, Quassel IRC can be
setup very easily.

provides a reference ircd.conf file that needs to be adjusted.
Document that in the MESSAGE.
- Remove INSTALL script. All *.conf are no longer used, corresponding
*.db living in ${VARBASE}/log/ircd-hybrid/lib are used instead
ircd.motd is still honored and used but there is not a lot of point to
continue to install it unconditionally without a configuration file.

corresponding configure arguments no longer available.
- No longer honor IRCD_HYBRID_SYSLOG_FACILITY, IRCD_HYBRID_NICLEN,
IRCD_HYBRID_TOPICLEN, IRCD_HYBRID_MAXCONN and IRCD_HYBRID_SYSLOG_EVENTS,
(syslog is no longer used and corresponding entry to set *LEN
and *MAXCONN are now configurable via ircd.conf)
- Add LICENSE

channel access list except other founders.
groupserv
---------
- new service that allows users to form groups of accounts and apply the

code. this should bring a performance improvement over the hashtable code it
was using.
- xmlrpc has been completely moved out of core

- Show FREEZE status (but not setter, time or reason) to normal users.
- Show taxonomy (property, metadata) in INFO.
- Show recognized (access list) a bit better in INFO.
- Ignore access lists for frozen accounts. **[MERGED]**

but with a shorter message.
- Make nickserv/enforce timings more accurate.
chanserv
--------
- Allow multiple spaces before fantasy commands when ChanServ is addressed
by nickname.
- QUIET/UNQUIET now notify the target user or channel.
- Show the current successor in /cs info (for +A users and opers).
- FFLAGS now overrides the NEVEROP setting on the target account.

alis
----
- Fix handling of key and limit options.
- Allow alis list on a single +s channel the user is on.
memoserv
--------
- Add DELETE OLD to delete all read memos.
gameserv
--------
- Do not add chanserv commands if fantasy is disabled.

channel without requiring fantasy commands. This must be specifically
enabled on a per-channel basis using the new ChanServ command SET GAMESERV
(module chanserv/set_gameserv).
oper
----
- Allow searching for AKILLs matching a given mask or id in AKILL LIST.
- Allow running an operserv-only services instance, which picks up login
names from the main instance (currently only for hyperion, TS6 and P10
ircds).
- Add optional PCRE support. Configure --with-pcre to enable it and add
the p flag to use it (e.g. /os rmatch /\d\d\d/p). The regex wrapper has
been changed slightly to make this possible.

- Add operserv/greplog module (from freenode modules) to allow searching
through recent logs from IRC.
- Automatically rehash after loading modules that need a rehash.
xmlrpc

- Fix atheme.memo.ignore.list and atheme.memo.ignore.clear to require only
two arguments (third wasn't ever in use). **[MERGED]**
code

- Allow modules to influence the expiry process.
- Fix a minor memory leak on /os REHASH.
- Fix null pointer dereference with some invalid config files.
- Move the metadata entries to object_t.
- Change some protocol module functions to take object pointers instead of
names and add some const keywords.

move some generic TS6 and P10 stuff into common modules.
- Rename CMODE_OP and the like to CSTATUS_*, emphasizing that they are
separate from simple modes.
- Use C99 booleans (<stdbool.h>, bool, true, false).
other
-----

- Synchronized with libmowgli 0.7 framework.
- Remove automatic module loading for modules/ directory; this behaviour
has been deprecated since version 0.3.
- Fix ircservices conversion for ircservices 5.1.
- Improve flood detection.
- Fix a bug with /os identify introducing enforcers.
- Fix a bug that could cause normal users to be seen as enforcers.

file, and update them on a rehash. The service creation code works quite a
bit differently to make this possible.
- Fix running on MacOS X 10.5.
- Fix compilation sometimes using system include files in place of our own.
- Change the default for gettext (NLS) to disabled in the setup script.
- Add a check against loading incompatible modules. Formerly, trying to load
incompatible modules often caused a crash.
- Rework the configuration file parser to detect more errors and make it
easier to add configuration options.
- Add +a to the example configuration's SOP to fit expectations better.
- Update anope_convert for anope 1.8 enc_md5/enc_sha1 passwords.
- Wake up the process less often if it is idling.

Atheme Services 3.1 Release Notes
=================================
### [MERGED] indicates items merged to the 3.0 branch
ircd protocol
-------------
- Fix a crash that could happen with ircd bugs or nick collisions with
services. **[MERGED]**
- Fix host changes in hyperion. **[MERGED]**
- Do not check the server's password in the hyperion protocol module.
- Do not allow spoofs ending in a slash in the hyperion protocol module.
- Allow nickname enforcers which are clients.
- Fix ping replies in P10.
- Add support for InspIRCd 1.2.
- Some ircds dislike colons in kline reasons, so don't use them for flood
klines.
- When restoring an akill, send it to all servers on all protocols.
Formerly, on some protocols it was only sent to the server the banned
user was on.
- Add ircd-aurora protocol module. ircd-aurora is a patched version of
charybdis with +qah channel statuses.
- For ircds that do not indicate host change to clients, send a 396 numeric
instead of a notice from the service. This is easier to parse for clients.
nickserv
--------
- Comment out nickserv/subscribe from the example configuration, because
it is experimental at this time. **[MERGED]**
- Fix a possible crash in nickserv release (nickserv/enforce module). **[MERGED]**
- Fix RETURN only accepting relatively short email addresses.
- Allow disabling the possibly slow maxusers (accounts/email) check by
putting 0.
- Show /ns vhost in /ns info. Appears to user self and user:auspex opers.
- Adjust times so nicks cannot appear created before their account or used
after their account was last seen.
- Add user_verify_register hook, called when a registration is verified.
This is after a successful VERIFY if email verification is enabled, after
a successful REGISTER if not.
- Make gen_vhostonreg contrib module only grant vhost once it's verified,
and also set vhosts on users without vhost as they identify.
- Add clearer log messages for duplicate accounts/nicks/channels in atheme.db.
- Make INFO default to the user's nick (owned nicks) or current account (no
owned nicks).
- Also introduce an enforcer when FNCing a user via the RELEASE command.
- Allow ignoring enforce on nicks unused for too long (nickserv::enforce_expire
config option). This does not affect held accounts.
- Add nick_can_register hook and use it to block GROUP on guest nicks also.
This hook is called on both REGISTER and GROUP (if nickname ownership is
enabled).
- In SENDPASS, require the new keyword FORCE to override marks and the new
keyword CLEAR to clear keys that were previously sent but not yet used.
If these keywords are needed, the oper will be warned.
- Do not allow SENDPASS on unverified accounts.
- Make the enforce delay settable in the config file.
- Make holdnick enforcer time variable, 30s the first time then 1h.
- Add ns_ajoin contrib module to allow services-side autojoin.
- Show a pending email address change in INFO, to user self and user:auspex
opers.
- Add ns_forbid contrib module. This registers, enforces, holds and freezes
a nickname.
- Split DROP into DROP (users) and FDROP (admins).
- Send all failed password attempts for SOPER accounts to the snoop channel.
- Make the text in INFO for unverified accounts more conspicuous.
chanserv

- Respect NOOP flag in cs_sync contrib module.
- Allow calling RECOVER via xmlrpc.
- Add channel_can_register hook to allow modules to block channel registrations.
- Add SET QUIETCHG (nickserv setting) which suppresses notices from OP,
VOICE, and the like by other users.
- Add cs_updown contrib module. This provides UP and DOWN commands that add
and remove all modes a user is entitled to.
- Change SET STAFFONLY to SET RESTRICTED. This kicks all users except those
with chan:joinstaffonly priv or any access (except +b) on the channel.
Also make it handle +i channels more effectively.
- Allow admins to change oper only modes in mlocks even without +s flag.
- Snoop changes to oper only modes in mlocks.
- Split DROP into DROP (users) and FDROP (admins).
- Add a confirmation step against accidental drops to DROP. This only
applies to commands via IRC.

- Some improvements to the hybserv/theia conversion tool.
- Some improvements to the ircservices conversion tool.
- Change maximum nick length from 30 to 31.
- Remove redundant expire_check and db_save in several places. This makes
restart, shutdown and rehash faster without threatening data integrity.
- Add Russian help files from Kein/darkwire. Using these currently requires
manual copy/rename operations.
- Add Russian translation from Kein/darkwire and fix the build system so it
is automatically installed if gettext is enabled.
- Allow for crypt() in libc as well as libcrypt (MacOS X).
- Fix nested includes in the configuration file.

InspIRCd is a modular Internet Relay Chat (IRC) server.
It was created from scratch to be stable, modern and lightweight.
It avoids a number of design flaws and performance issues that
plague other more established projects, such as UnrealIRCd, while
providing the same level of feature parity.

A build fix applied upstream some ten years ago for Mac OS X is only
really relevant for that OS, and was causing build breakages on NetBSD
with any archs that didn't happen to be covered in legacy code in
arpa/nameser_compat.h. (Encountered with powerpc, would also presumably
break others, like aarch64.) No PKGREVISION, build fix only.

XChat's development has been dead for nearly a decade now.
chat/hexchat is an actively maintained fork and features many bug and
security fixes and support for newer protocol features. Users of XChat
should migrate to HexChat, or rather, should have migrated several
years ago.
A blog post exists by HexChat's maintainer where Debian's packaging of
both is discussed:
https://blog.tingping.se/2018/03/02/when-distros-get-it-wrong.html
Mumble is an open source, low-latency, high quality voice chat software
primarily intended for use while gaming.
This package contains the client and server software.
Changes:
in version 2.3:
- add hook "line"
- add option "-P" (or "--plugins") to customize the plugins to load at startup
- allow multiple options "-r" ("--run-command") in command line arguments
- allow allow partial buffer name and multiple arguments in command /buffer close
- allow specifying buffer number/name for /buffer localvar
- allow creation of temporary variables with the regex in trigger plugin
- add real IP in client description in relay plugin
- add repeat of string in evaluation of expressions with "repeat:count,string"
- many bugs fixed.
in version 2.2:
- add support of list options in curl
- allow merge of buffers by name in command /buffer
- add reverse of string in evaluation of expressions with "rev:"
- add indexed ban list and completion for /unban and /unquiet (IRC plugin)
- add support for IRCv3.2 Client Capability Negotiation
- add support for IRCv3.2 invite-notify
- add support for IRCv3.2 chghost, add options irc.look.smart_filter_chghost and irc.color.message_chghost
- add option xfer.network.send_ack
- add support of Python 3.7
- fix memory leaks scripting plugins
- many bugs fixed.
The loop would not have worked with multiple GCONF_SCHEMAS anyway because
there was no semicolon at the end of the @.s.@ expansion. Since
INSTALL_DATA can handle multiple source arguments, there is no need to
use the complicated form.
Changelog:
Stability improvements
Support auto-loading for documents
Add support for "typing" in group chats (using group-typing-notifications plugin)
Add support for /kick command in group chats
CenterIM is a text-mode multi-protocol instant messaging client
for Linux, *BSD, Solaris and other Unices. The program supports
most of widely used IM protocols, including AIM, ICQ, IRC, QQ,
Skype, XMPP (Jabber).
CenterIM is a powerful communication tool that can be used through
SSH, without the need for VNC/Remote Desktop. CenterIM started as
a fork of CenterICQ.
Development has ceased on CenterIM4 in favor of CenterIM5, which
is a ground up rewrite and uses the libpurple library as a
communication backend.
If you have multiple devices and want messages sent and received
by one device show up on all others, XEP-0280: Message Carbons is
what you are looking for.
This is an experimental XMPP XEP-0280: Message Carbons plugin for
libpurple (Pidgin, Finch, etc.)
This has been marked BROKEN as using this package (a third-party client) will
get your account banned. The status of this hasn't changed according to
upstream, which has also intentionally broken the build.
In German, an Axolotl is a type of Lurch, which simply means
'amphibian'. This plugin brings Axolotl, by now renamed to double
ratchet, to libpurple applications such as Pidgin by implementing
the XEP-0384: OMEMO Encryption.
- certifi module is needed despite not explicitly specified as a
dependency in setup.py (probably a line about it should be added
in setup.py too and shared with upstream).
- Do not override __version__ if git is found. This leads to possible PLIST
problems due non-matching EGG_INFODIR.
Problem and patch by Jonathan Schleifer via PR pkg/53731 (PLIST problem a bit
reworked by leot).
