ngIRCd
+ - Update doc/Services.txt: describe the upcoming version of Anope 1.9.8, + then including a protocol module for ngIRCd. And remove our own patches + in ./contrib/Anope because they aren't supported any more ... + - Implement new "METADATA" command which can be used by remote servers + and IRC services to update client metadata like the client info text + ("real name"), user name, and hostname, and use this command to + configure an cloaked hostname (user mode "+x") on remote servers: + This prevents "double cloaking" of hostnames and even cloaked + hostnames are in sync on all servers supporting "METADATA" now. + - Fix error message when trying to join non-predefined channels and the + "PredefChannelsOnly" configuration option is set. + - Implement new IRC "SVSNICK" command to allow remote servers (and IRC + services) to change nicknames of already registered users. The SVSNICK + command itself doesn't change the nickname, but it becomes forwarded + to the server to which the user is connected to. And then this server + initiates the real nickname changing using regular NICK commands. + This allows to run mixed networks with old servers not supporting the + SVSNICK command, because SVSNICK commands for nicknames on such servers + are silently ignored and don't cause a desynchronization of the network. + - Make server reconnect time a little bit more random, so that two + servers trying to connect to each other asynchronously don't try this + in exactly the same time periods and kick each other off ... + - Don't accept connections for servers already being linked: there was a + time frame that could result in one connection overwriting the other, + e. g. the incoming connection overwriting the status of the outgoing + one. And this could lead to all kind of weirdness (even crashes!) later + on: now such incoming connections are dropped. - New configuration option "MaxListSize" to configure the maximum number of channels returned by a LIST command. The default is 100, as before. - Implement user mode "b", "block messages": when a user has set mode "b", diff --git a/NEWS b/NEWS index b6a5efd..8997a02 100644 --- a/NEWS +++ b/NEWS @@ -11,6 +11,23 @@
