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

against.
- new set_prefix module. This module allows channels to define a channel-specific
fantasy prefix. The channel-specific prefix is displayed in the INFO for the
channel. This is particularly useful if the channel uses an external bot that
conflicts with the services default fantasy prefix.
- new clear_flags module. This allows founders to remove all entries from the
channel access list except other founders.
groupserv
---------
- new service that allows users to form groups of accounts and apply the
same ACL entries to them, send memos to them and other features.

request for help.
hostserv
--------

a nick.
infoserv
--------
- oper-only message support. You can now give messages an importance where
they will only be sent to opers upon oper-up.

code. this should bring a performance improvement over the hashtable code it
was using.
- xmlrpc has been completely moved out of core
- a new command, atheme.privset has been added to get the soper privs of a user.
code
----
- default values in config options are now supported. This is particularly
useful in modules and cleans up the config code a bit.

table.
- the flags code is now extendable by modules.
- mychan_pick_candidate() is now in the public API.

- ctcp handling has been rewritten.
- new easter egg.
- the shrike hash function (shash()) has been removed as there was no longer
anything using it.
- the "symbolmatrix" code was removed because we went with a different solution
instead long ago.

channel membership.
- list_t/node_t have been removed in preference of mowgli.list.
- balloc has been removed in preference of mowgli.heap.
other
-----
- added an anope 1.9.2 flatfile DB to OpenSEX DB conversion script.

the shell is no longer used.
- the SDK hg revision of modules in now shown in MODINSPECT.

- Fix a bug that could cause normal users to be seen as enforcers.
- Allow any service's nick/user/host/realname to be set in the configuration
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.
- Install an example services MOTD automatically.
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
--------
- Fix removing non-applicable flags (e.g. +hH) from host channel access.
**[MERGED]**
- Fix ChanServ not deopping in some cases with guard on and changets off.
**[MERGED]**
- Fix some ugly output in chanserv/unban_self. **[MERGED]**
- 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.
alis
----
- Move ALIS from contrib to modules. The new atheme.conf line is
loadmodule "modules/alis/main";
memoserv

- 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.
Fix problems with initial connections and name-setting in conferences
Add callback for successful connection to a conference
Fix memory leak in error path in group A/V
Note that 'make test' hangs on NetBSD, but another test succeeds.

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).
