UnrealIRCd 5.0.4 Release Notes
===============================
This new 5.0.4 version fixes quite a number of bugs. It contains only two small feature improvements.
Fixes:
* When placing a SHUN on an online user it was not always effective.
* Channeldb was not properly restoring all channel modes, such as +P.
* When upgrading UnrealIRCd it could sometimes crash the currently
running IRC server (rare), or trigger a crash report on
```./unrealircd restart``` (quite common).
* UnrealIRCd was giving up too easily on ident lookups.
* Crash when unloading a module with moddata.
* Crash if an authenticated server sends wrong information (rare).
* Removing a TEMPSHUN did not work if the user was on another server.
* SAJOIN to 0 (part all channels) resulted in a desync when used on remote users.
* Forced nick change from services was not showing up if the user
was not in any channels.
Enhancements:
* New option [set::hide-idle-time::policy](https://www.unrealircd.org/docs/Set_block#set%3A%3Ahide-idle-time)
by which you can change usermode +I (hide idle time in WHOIS) from
oper-only to settable by users. More options will follow in a future
release.
* In WHOIS you can now see if a user is currently (temp)shunned.
This only works for locally connected users for technical reasons,
so use ```/WHOIS Nick Nick``` to see it for remote users.
Changes:
* The oper notices and logging with regards to server linking have changed
a little. They are more consistent and log more now.
* When an IRCOp tries to oper up from an insecure connection we will now
mention the https://www.unrealircd.org/docs/FAQ#oper-requires-tls page.
This message is customizable through
[set::plaintext-policy::oper-message](https://www.unrealircd.org/docs/Set_block#set::plaintext-policy).
* The French HELPOP text was updated.
1.8 (2018-02-04):
- prevent nick collisions by only setting the nick after the server
accepted it and print a message about change to server log.
- remove query.sh.
- add OpenBSD pledge(2) support.
- fix QUIT message string.
- raw IRC output to stdout.
- add quit command (/q [string]).
- write timestamp in outfile as UNIX timestamp (UTC+0).
- server host (-s) doesn't default to irc.freenode and is now required.
- add option (-u) to connect directly to a UNIX domain socket, this
is useful for tunneling connections.
- remove "in" file when leaving a channel (enabled commented code).
- remove "in" files on exit.
- use IRC_MAX (512), instead of PIPE_BUF (4096) on most systems.
PIPE_BUF is guaranteed to be atleast 512 bytes for atomic operations.
- Makefile: always be verbose.
- use C99 and -D_DEFAULT_SOURCE
- remove obsolete gethostbyname, use getaddrinfo.
- IPV6 support.
- timeout now uses separate exit statuscode 2.
- cleanup:
- use arg.h for command-line option parsing.
- use sbase util functions (estrtol, eprintf).
- use and import OpenBSD strlcpy().
- man page typos.
- style:
- linewrap to 79 characters.
- coding style fixes.
- non-roman numerals for LICENSE period.
Changes since 8.2.30:
-- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.31 (2020-05-03)
o) macOS compatibility fixes
o) Removed 'spoof_notice' from auth::flags. With vhosts now this notice doesn't make
much sense anymore
o) Fixed issue where ban masks might become malformed if set by remote clients/servers
o) Fixed issue with channel mode +c where high ascii characters can be erroneously
detected as control characters
o) For a full list of all changes in this release, see https://git.io/JfsmV

Do not adjust file under ${BUILDLINK_DIR} and use the SUBST framework
to adjust all python3 pkg-config invocations.

Changes since 8.2.29:
-- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.30 (2020-03-01)
o) "QUOTE HELP extban" didn't work because the extban help file hasn't been
installed properly during 'make install'
o) Fixed broken libcrypto detection which caused the ircd not to work with
openssl under certain circumstances
o) Extban $n of type 'acting' has been implemented. This extban prevents
matching users from changing their nick while in the channel. Users
with voice or above are not affected.
o) Channel mode +N has been changed so channel members with +v can change
their nick name as well
o) For a full list of all changes in this release, see https://git.io/JvgAq
"This version of jabberd is very very old and no longer maintained."
The wip package jabberd14 indicates that it can eventually be imported
as jabberd14 rather than directly replacing this package, but isn't
ready yet due to stability concerns.
