other
- Do some things the git was as we've switched to git as our VCS since 6.3.1.
- Add support for proper system-wide installability.
- Add a few simple helper scripts for irssi, WeeChat and XChat to add a /OHELP
command which makes it far easier to view ShadowIRCd help on clients that use
/HELP for their own uses.
-- shadowircd 6.3.1
bugfixes
- When setting/unsetting cmode +M, wallops are only sent once, globally,
not for every server on the network where the mode change happens.
- Don't allow +Z to be set by default_umodes.
- Cope with OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER not being a long. This is the case on
very new FreeBSD versions.
- Disallow mIRC italics in channel names when disable_fake_channels is in use.
- Allow kick_on_split_riding to protect channels with mlocked keys.
-- shadowircd-6.3.0
new modes
- channelmode 'N' has been moved to 'd' to allow for m_roleplay and
specifically, compatibility with the charybdis m_roleplay.
new modules
- m_roleplay: New extension allowing many roleplay commands. Individual
channels can disable this by setting channelmode +N on their channels.
configuration
- use auth::auth_user for SASL. It is no longer usable in PASS (though its
use-case there is non-existant), but you can now set so if a user
successfully authenticates to the accountname in auth_user with SASL,
they will get the proper auth block privs. You can have multiple auth_users
in one auth block.
- you can now specify a SSL fingerprint that the remote server must have in
order to link.
opers
- wallops are now sent upon setting or unsetting of +M or any other hidden
channelmode.
- /LIST now has operspy support. You can see all channels (including secret
channels) with /LIST ! or /LIST !#target. OLIST still exists and can be
used as well. OLIST will also show channelmodes whereas LIST will not.
users
- /LIST can now be constrained by topic TS and channel TS.
code
- native support for SHA256, SHA512 and Blowfish added everywhere.
- many small improvements and bugfixes.
-- shadowircd-6.2.0
configuration
- add channel::hide_channel_below_users - Channels with a user count lower
than the value of this option will not be shown by default in /LIST.
- add channel::admin_on_channel_create - If enabled, gives users creating
new channels +ao in that channel instead of just +o.
- add channel::disabledmodes - This allows opers to disallow users from
using certain channelmodes. This is only read on startup and your services
and remote servers must be configured the same otherwise desyncs will occur.
- add many services aliases for new Atheme services.
opers
- when users get hit by a DNSBL, this is now shown in the snotes.
other
- change kicknorejoin to not be a config option and be hardcoded to 2 seconds
because a longer time is kind of pointless.
- Many new features and improvements from charybdis 3.3.0. See below for
information about all that.
code
- many bugfixes and various cleanups.
-- charybdis-3.3.0
server protocol
- Add new BAN command, for propagated network-wide bans (K/X:lines and RESVs).
These will burst to new servers as they are introduced, and will stay in sync
across the whole network (new BAN capab).
- Add new MLOCK command, to implement ircd-side channel mode locks. This allows
services to send out a list of mode letters for a given channel which may not
be changed, preventing mode fights between services and client bots (new MLOCK
capab).
user
- New RPL_QUIETLIST(728) and RPL_ENDOFQUIETLIST(729) numerics are used for the
quiet (+q) list, instead of overloading the ban list numerics.
- Users may no longer change the topic of a -t channel if they cannot send to
it.
- Add help for EXTBAN, describing the syntax of extended bans in general, as
well as the most common types.
- Changed AWAY messages are now propagated to other servers. Previously, AWAY
was only propagated when the user was not already away.
- Channel mode +c (and other places that disallow colour codes) now also strip
ASCII 29 (mIRC 7 italics).
- Add auto-accept for user mode +g (callerid): Messaging a user while set +g
will automatically add them to your accept list.
- Add target change for channels. It applies to unopped, unvoiced and unopered
users. This has the effect of stopping spambots which join, message and part
many channels at a time.
- Show RPL_WHOISLOGGEDIN in /whowas as well as in /whois entries. This adds at
most an additional 0.5MB of memory usage.
oper
config
- Add general::use_propagated_bans to switch the new BAN system on or off.
- Add general::default_ident_timeout, to control the timeout for identd (auth)
connections.
- Add channel::channel_target_change to switch the new channel target change limits
on or off.
- Fix class::number_per_ident so that it also applies to connections without
identd.
- Change the example sslport option to 6697, which is more standard than 9999.
misc
- The custom channel mode API has been rewritten, allowing these modules to work
correctly when reloaded, or loaded from the config file.
- The EFNet RBL is now recommended, instead of DroneBL.
- Remove the unsupported modules directory.
- Numerous bug fixes and code cleanups.
- In mkpasswd, default to MD5 crypt instead of insecure DES.
-- shadowircd-6.1.0
new configuration options
- general::static_quit - Quit message to display for all users (not opers).
- general::no_part_messages - If this option is set to no, the ircd will not
display PART messages/reasons from users.
- general::true_no_oper_flood - Turns off *ALL* flood protection for opers.
Instead of command flooding being 4x what it is for a user with no_oper_flood,
there is no limit at all. This option also allows opers to flood channels/users
so if you do set it, be extremely careful.
- serverinfo::helpchan and helpurl - These are 2 config options that tell users,
when they do /quote help (with no extra parameters) the official network help
channel and a special URL for help. If these options are disabled, the users
will just get the help index and that's it on /quote help.
- general::default_ident_timeout - Allows you to set the default ident timeout
in the ircd.conf instead of it being hardcoded and only settable with /SET.
new commands
- CYCLE #channel - server-side CYCLE, also called HOP in some clients/servers.
Parts the user from the given channel, then joins them to it immediately after.
Enabled by loading extensions/m_cycle.
opers
- Override no longer alows overriding opers to talk through +q, +m, etc.
If you need to talk through one of these modes, its recommended to remove
the offending mode or give yourself voice/ops.
- OLIST now shows channel modes so opers can easily see which channels are
+s and see which channels have oper-only channel modes set.
- RESTART and DIE now can be executed remotely. See the appropriate helpfiles
for details.
- All module management commands (MODLOAD, MODLIST, MODUNLOAD, MODRELOAD and
MODRESTART) can be executed remotely. See the appropriate helpfile for
details.
- OMODE can now set and unset +ah.
- OJOIN now works with !#channel and %#channel.
- Staff channelmodes (+AO) now require chanops to set.
- OPERHOST option added to SET. You can now use SET to change the default
operhost that operators get upon opering up, though like the
general::default_operhost config option it will not override the
operator::vhost config option.
other
- Added a strip_unprintable function to make evasion of cmodes +G and +K
less trivial.
- Massive helpfile updates.
- Added SVSJOIN s2s command. This allows things like atheme's ns_ajoin
to work on shadowircd.
- Added BAN stuff (propogated bans on burst) from charybdis trunk. This
can be disabled and the old behavior can be used by setting the
general::use_propogated_bans option to no.
- The --enable-small-net configure option is now enabled by default.
If you wish to disable small net mode, pass --disable-small-net to
configure.
- New channel mode adding API has been added from charybdis trunk.
- NOTICE/PRIVMSG @#channel and +#channel now go to admin/halfop as well
as chanop.
-- 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 in /whois.
- 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, regardless of
who they're from.
- 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 (admin 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_admin.
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 in each oper's operator {}
block.
- host-on-oper - Give a vhost to operators upon oper up. Can be defined
generally, then the general option may be overridden by each operator {}
block.
- 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 - Adds cmode +M. Opers can set this on a channel (even if they don't
have ops) without the channel's ops or other users seeing (only opers see
this mode at all.) It disallows anyone in the channel from kicking opers.
- OACCEPT/callerid override - In ShadowIRCd 6, opers no longer can simply PM
users that have umodes +g or +G set and the oper is not on their accept list.
To allow opers to still be able to PM users in this situation, OACCEPT has been
added. OACCEPT is a new extension that enables the command /oaccept <user>
which adds a piece of metadata to that use which will allow you to PM them.
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.
- Add a metadata framework. Currently used for swhois, custom operstring,
OACCEPT, cmode +J, cmode +K.
-- charybdis-3.2.0
server protocol
- Apply +z to messages blocked by +b and +q as well. (new EOPMOD capab)
- Add new topic command ETB, allowing services to set topic+setter+ts always.
(new EOPMOD capab)
- The slash ('/') character is now allowed in spoofs.
user
- Add can_kick hook, based on the ircd-seven one.
- Add cmode +C (no CTCP) from ircd-seven.
- Flood checking has been reworked.
- Fix op-moderate (cmode +z) for channel names with '@'.
- Add CERTFP support, allowing users to connect with an SSL client
certificate and propagating the certificate fingerprint to other servers.
Services packages can use this to identify users based on client
certificates.
- Maintain the list of recently used targets (for the target change
anti-spam system) in most-recently-used order, overwriting the least
recently used target with a new one. This should be friendlier to users
without giving spambots anything.
- Do not require target change slots for replying to the last five users to
send a private message, notice or invite.
- Apply target change restrictions to /invite.
- Apply umode +g/+R restrictions to /invite, with the difference that
instead of sending "<user> is messaging you" the invite is let through
since that is just as noisy.
oper
- Add /rehash throttles to clear throttling.
- Send all server notices resulting from a remote /rehash to the oper.
- '\s' for space is now part of the matching, not a substitution at xline
time, fixing various issues with it.
- Display o:line "nickname" in oper-up server notices.
- Fix sendq exceeded snotes for servers.
- SCAN UMODES: default list-max to 500, like a global WHO.
- Ignore directory names in MODRELOAD to avoid crashing if it is a core
module and the path is incorrect.
- Tweaks to spambot checks.
config
- Add channel::only_ascii_channels config option to restrict channel names
to printable ascii only.
- Add channel::resv_forcepart, forcibly parts local users on channel RESV,
default enabled.
misc
- New mkpasswd from ircd-ratbox.
- Check more system calls for errors and handle the errors.
- Various ssld/libratbox bugfixes from ircd-ratbox. [some MERGED]
- Fix fd passing on FreeBSD/amd64 and possibly Solaris/sparc. [MERGED]
- Various documentation improvements. [some MERGED]
- Fix some crash issues. [MERGED]
- Add bandb from ircd-ratbox, which stores permanent dlines/klines/xlines/resvs
in an sqlite database instead of a flatfile and does the storage in a
helper process.
-- charybdis-3.1.0
- Remove TS5 support. No TS5 servers are permitted in a network with
charybdis 3.1.0 or newer, except jupes.
- Replace oper flags by privilege sets (privsets). This adds an extra
level of indirection between oper flags and operator blocks. /stats O
(capital O) shows the configured privsets.
- Update libratbox and ssld from upstream and use it better.
- Add auth_user to auth{}. This allows specifying a username:password instead
of just a password in PASS, so that a fixed user@host is not necessary
for a specific auth{} block.
- Add need_ssl to auth{} and operator{}. This makes these blocks reject
the user if not connected via SSL.
- Allow modules to provide simple channel modes without parameter.
- Remove restrictions on CNAME in the resolver.
- Make the resolver remember nonresponsive nameservers.
- Move nick collision notices from +s to +k.
- Add additional information to various server notices about server
connections.
- Show throttle information in /stats t.
- Show rejectcache and throttle information in /testline.
- Show oper reason in /testline.
- Allow opers to see other users' umodes with /mode <nick>.
- SCAN UMODES GLOBAL NO-LIST MASK <mask> is no longer an operspy command.
- Also apply floodcount to messages to remote clients (except services).
- Remove user@server messages to local users. Sending such messages to
remote servers is still possible, for securely messaging pseudoservers
whether service{}'ed or not. The special oper-only syntax opers@server
remains as well.
- Allow /list on a named +p channel. A full /list already included +p channels.
- Add operspy /topic.
- For remote rehashes, send error messages to the requesting oper as well.
- Disable autoconnect for a server with excessive TS delta.
- Disallow invites to juped channels.
- Warn about certain duplicate and redundant auth blocks.
- Make PRIVMSG/NOTICE behave as CPRIVMSG/CNOTICE automatically if possible.
- Allow +z messages from outside if a channel is -n.
- Allow coloured part reasons in -c channels.
- Add ircu-like WHOX support. This allows requesting specific information
in /who and allows obtaining services login name for all users in a
channel. XChat/Conspire use WHOX to update away status more efficiently.
- Allow opers and shide_exempt users to see hopcounts even if flatten_links
is on.
- Rework ip_cloaking.
- Add the IP address to userlog, as in ircd-ratbox 3.0.
- Split cidr_bitlen into cidr_ipv4_bitlen and cidr_ipv6_bitlen.
- Allow using ziplinks with SSL connections. This is not as efficient as
using OpenSSL's built in compression, but also works with older versions
of OpenSSL.
- Fix an off by one error with zipstats processing, which could overwrite
a variable with NULL causing a crash on some systems.
- Document some extensions in charybdis-oper-guide.
- Add more server protocol documentation.
- Add m_sendbans extension, SENDBANS command to propagate xlines and resvs
manually.
- Add chm_sslonly extension, cmode +S for SSL/TLS only channels.
- Add chm_operonly extension, cmode +O for IRCop only channels.
- Add chm_adminonly extension, cmode +A for server admin only channels.
- Various code cleanups.

us to reuse low-level code instead of maintaining our own.
- Change configuration of maximum number of clients to ircd-ratbox 3 way.
- Add adminwall from ircd-ratbox, as an extension.
- Add client and server-to-server SSL, read example.conf for setup.
- Replace servlink with ssld (also for ziplinks).
- A new extban, $z, has been added for ssl users (extensions/extb_ssl.so).
- A new compatibility channel mode, +R, has been added, it sets
+q/-q $~a (extensions/chm_operonly_compat.so). This is similar to
the +R seen in ircd-seven.
- A new compatibility channel mode, +S, has been added, it sets
+b/-b $~z (extensions/chm_sslonly_compat.so).
- A new compatibility channel mode, +O, has been added, it sets
+iI/-iI $o (extensions/chm_operonly_compat.so).
- Add remote D:lines. Note that these are not enabled by default.
- Remove EFnet-style G:lines. Noone appears to use these.
- Remove idle time checking (auto disconnecting users idle too long).
- Display a notice to clients when the IRCd is shut down using SIGTERM.
- Some error messages have been clarified to enhance usability.
- Close the link to servers that send invalid nicks (e.g. nicklen mismatches).
Formerly the users were killed from the network.
- Enable topicburst by default in connect{}.
- Fix a potential desync which can happen with oper override.
- Remove "deopped" flag (TS5 legacy).
- Use 127.0.0.1 as nameserver if none can be found in /etc/resolv.conf.
- Only accept 127.0.0.x as a dnsbl listing.
- Change cloaking module (same as 2.2.1, different from 2.2.0).
- Make some more server notices about failed remote connect attempts
network wide.
- Make some server notices about flooders and TS delta network wide.
- Remove redundant "<server> had been connected for <time>" server notice.
- Add resv oper privilege to control /resv, /unresv and cmode +L and +P,
enabled by default.
- Add mass_notice oper privilege to control global notices and /wallops,
enabled by default.
- Rework unkline/undline/unxline/unresv so they show the exact item removed
and do not rehash bans.
- Show opers a list of recently (<24hrs) split servers in /map.
- Add /privs command, shows effective privileges of a client.
-- charybdis-2.2.0
- The I/O code has been reworked, file descriptor metadata is stored in a
hashtable and the maximum number of clients can now be set in ircd.conf.
- Improve error checking and error messages for kline/dline/xline/resv files.
- Allow kline ipv6:address, unkline some.host and unkline ipv6:address
without *@.
- Add accountability (wallops, log) to OKICK extension.
- Add opernick to OPME/OMODE/OJOIN log messages.
- Add use_forward option, allows disabling cmode +fFQ and umode +Q.
- Add keyword substitution to DNSBL reasons, making it possible to show
things like the user's IP address in the reason.
- Use sendto_one_notice() more.
- Server notices about kills now include the victim's nick!user@host instead
of just nick.
- Include real hostname in Closing Link message for unknown connections
that have sent USER, in particular banned users.
- Add some documentation about the SASL client protocol.
- Change spambot, flooder and jupe joiner notices from host to orighost.
- Remove the last remains of server hostmasking (this made it possible to
have multiple servers with similar names appear as a single server).
- Keep bitmasks of modularized umodes reserved forever to the letter,
avoiding problems when reloading umode modules in a different order.
- Fix -logfile.
- Update to the new revision (v8) of the TS6 spec, this fixes problems with
joins reversing certain mode changes crossing them. This interoperates
with older versions.
- Put "End of Channel Quiet List" at the end of +q lists.
- Fix invisible count getting desynched from reality if the act of opering
up sets -i or +i.
- Don't leak auth{} spoofed IP addresses in +f notices.
- Shorten quit/part/kick reasons to avoid quit reasons overflowing the
client exiting server notice (from TOPICLEN to 260).
- Fix some cases where 10 char usernames lose their final character.
- Move username check after xline and dnsbl checks, so it will not complain
to opers about clients who are xlined or blacklisted anyway (both of
which silently reject).
- Remove invite_ops_only config option, forcing it to YES.
- Allow /invite (but not invex) to override +r, +l, +j in addition to +i.
- Add several new extensions, such as createoperonly.
- Merge whois notice extensions into one and move it from snomask +y to +W.
-- charybdis-2.1.2
- Fix bug that could cause all hostmangled users to be exempted when a
single ban exception existed on a channel.
- Tweak \s code a little.
- Add a minor clarification to the SGML docs.
- Avoid truncation in ip_cloaking (by removing components on the other side).
Note that this may cause channel +bqeI modes set on such very long hosts
to no longer match.
-- charybdis-2.1.1
- Search the shortest list (user's/channel's) when looking up channel
memberships.
- Make the SID-collision notice look right under all conditions.
- Move kills from services from +s to +k snomask.
- When no_tilde is present on an auth{} block, check the non-tilde version
of the user@host against k:lines as well.
- Put full reason in the SQUIT reason when a server is rejected for
insufficient parameters being passed to a command.
- Don't redirect users to an existing domain, irc.fi.
- Improve communication of servlink-related error messages.
-- charybdis-2.1.0
- Our official website is now http://www.ircd-charybdis.org/.
- Make RPL_ISUPPORT (005 numeric) modularizable.
- Also do forwarding if the channel limit (+l) is exceeded.
- Don't count opers on service{} servers in /lusers.
- Allow servers to send to @#chan and +#chan.
- Allow +S clients (services) to send to channels and @/+ channels always.
- Allow normal match() on IP address also in /masktrace.
