See LICENSE for licensing details (GPL v2). +-- shadowircd-6.0.0 + +new modes +- Add umode +C (no CTCP). +- Add umode +V, users with this mode set will never recieve channel invites + from other users. +- Add umode +B which identifies users as being bots. +- Add umode +G which disallows users from messaging you unless you're both + on at least one channel together. This can be "overridden" with /accept. +- Add cmode +T which blocks all notices to the channel. +- Add cmode +D which blocks all actions (/me's) from being sent to the channel. +- Add cmode +E which disallows channel ops from kicking users. +- Add cmode +N which disallows users from changing their nick while they're on + a channel with this mode set. +- Add cmode +K (norepeat) which will block repeated messages if a user sends + the same message multiple times before any other users send to the channel. +- Add cmode +G which blocks messages containing 50% or more capital letters + from being sent to the channel. +- Add cmode +J which disallows a kicked user from rejoining within 'X' seconds + of them being kicked, where 'X' is the variable of the channel::kick_no_rejoin_time + configuration option. +- Add cmodes +a and +h (owner and halfop, respectively). There are 2 extra + prefixes to more finely-grain the status of staff members in your channels. + They can be enabled or disabled in the configuration file with the options + channel::use_halfop and channel::use_owner. + +new configuration options +- auth::autojoin - This option will specify what channels users in a matching + auth {} block will automatically join on connect to your server/network. +- auth::autojoin_opers - This option will specify what channels opers in a + matching auth {} block will automatically join on oper up (/oper). +- channel::cycle_host_change - This option defines whether or not users + will cycle (part and rejoin) the channels they're in when their host changes. + This can be annoying to some people, but disabling it can cause client desyncs. +- channel::host_in_topic - This option defines whether or not a host setter's + full host or just their nick will be shown on /TOPIC. +- channel::use_local_channels - With this option, you can enable/disable + support for local channels on your server/network. +- channel::exemptchanops - This option defines what channel modes channel + operators are exempt from, channel modes usable in this option are: cCDTNGK. +- general::secret_channels_in_whois - This option defines whether or not opers + can see secret channels that a user is in when whoising them. Secret channels + will show up in the whois prefixed with *. If this option is disabled, opers + will still be able to see secret channels a user is in with the /SPYWHOIS + command. +- Enabled a few popular extensions by default, added a few extensions to the + example config files that were missing, add a few more services aliases + by default, enable ip_cloaking by default and get rid of all the old + ip_cloaking modules. + +opers +- Users' umodes are shown when you whois them. +- swhois support - Adds a mostly free-form line of text to opers' whois + if one is set in their operator {} block. +- custom operstring - Instead of showing the IRC operator or IRC administrator + oper strings, you can customize what it shows by privset or + for a specific operator. +- host-on-oper - This will be a option settable in both privset block and + operator block that defines what host a operator gets upon oper-up. +- operoverride - Oper override works very differently in ShadowIRCd compared + to all other IRCd's which support oper override. In ShadowIRCd, to be able + to override, you must have the oper:override privledge and you must then + set umode +p on yourself. The p umode will automatically expire and un-set + itself after a time set in the configuration option general::expire_override_time. +- immune - Immune depends on the chm_no_oper_kick extension being enabled. + An oper can set +M on a channel (which that channel's ops and users can not + see, but other opers can), then when the oper joins that channel with override + (umode +p) set on themselves, the channel's ops will be unable to kick the oper + from the channel. + +other +- Changed default NICKLEN to 31 (from 15) to fit more closely with other + IRCd's. +- Rebrand many things from Charybdis to ShadowIRCd. +- Move the m_force module to extensions. + -- charybdis-3.2.0 server protocol
