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",
