After almost 5 months of coding (not counting the hotfix)
there's finally a new 3.2* stable release out: 3.2.3.
As usual, this is a recommended upgrade.
Unreal3.2.3 Release Notes
==========================
==[ GENERAL INFORMATION ]==
- - If you are upgrading on *NIX, make sure you run 'make clean' and './Config'
first before doing 'make'
- - The official UnrealIRCd documentation is doc/unreal32docs.html
online version at: http://www.vulnscan.org/UnrealIrcd/unreal32docs.html
FAQ: http://www.vulnscan.org/UnrealIrcd/faq/
Read them before asking for help.
- - Report bugs at http://bugs.unrealircd.org/
- - When upgrading a network, we assume you are upgrading from the previous
version (3.2.2). If you got a net running with servers that are several
versions behind (eg: 3.2.1) then you might experience (desynch) problems.
Also, if you try to use the new features, some might not work properly
until all your servers are upgraded. It is therefore recommended to
upgrade all servers in a 'short' time span (x day[s], not weeks).
==[ NEW ]==
- - Channel mode +I (invex, invite exceptions). Users on this list can join +i channels
without needing an /invite.
- - Channel mode +j (jointhrottle). If you set +j X:Y you limit each user (individually)
to X joins per Y seconds to the channel.
- - Nick Character System: this allows you to choose which additional characters to
allow in nicknames by language (and codepage). Currently available are:
catalan, dutch, french, german, swiss-german, icelandic, italian, spanish,
swedish, hungarian, polish, romanian, slovak, czech, greek, turkish, russian,
hebrew and chinese. There are also several 'groups' available, for more info see:
http://www.vulnscan.org/UnrealIrcd/unreal32docs.html#feature_nickchars
- - *NIX: ./Config -advanced, allows you to choose more options
- - tld::botmotd and tld::opermotd
- - Using /INVITE with no parameters will a list of channels you are invited to
but have not yet joined.
- - set::gline-address, works just like set::kline-address but then for glines.
- - Added a basic regex tutorial in unreal32docs.html
- - /SAJOIN now supports multiple channels (and '0') again.
- - Spamfilter topic support ('t' in spamfilter, 'topic' in conf).
- - Added a feature to +b/+e ~c: ~c:[prefix]<#channel>. This can be used if you for
example trust all ops of #leet: mode #x +e ~c:@#leet.
- - Various translated documents in doc/: unreal32docs.gr.html (Greek), help.fr.conf
and example.fr.conf (French), help.de.conf & example.de.conf (German), and
example.hu.conf (Hungarian).
==[ CHANGED ]==
- - Updated auspice.conf
- - The usual doc updates, help.conf, spamfilter.conf, dccallow.conf, etc.
- - The config parser got (mostly) recoded. This makes it rehash much faster,
additionally "duplicate item" checking is now available.
- - Added a 'B' flag to /who output for bots. Also normal users can now /who +m B.
- - Support in configfiles for \\ (= a \)
- - set::dns::bind::ip, hardly useful for anyone
- - If a user is +b on a channel, and set::allow-userhost-change force-rejoin is
in use, then a part/join is not sent in order to prevent flooding.
- - OperOverride INVITE notices are now sent out globally to all +s +e users.
- - User mode 'g' is now operonly, it hardly did anything for non-opers.
- - Made CIDR no longer accept bitmasks with less than 16bits for /*line commands.
- - Modulized a lot of commands (~5000 lines of code).
- - Made channel modes +c/+S deal with RGB color codes.
- - If no log { } block is present, then a warning will be printed and we will log
by default to ircd.log (errors only).
- - If an invalid character is found in a nick then the whole nick is rejected now.
- - Changed numeric&text of 'is a Secure Connection' to 'is using a Secure Connection',
client coders are encouraged to add support for this new numeric 671. Until then,
in-window-/whois's will probably be broken.
- - A locops with can_override/can_gkline/can_gzline is now automatically converted
to a globop, just like we do with can_globalroute/can_gkline. These privileges
are GLOBAL and therefore are not meant to be granted to locops.
- - A warning is now sent to an oper if (s)he tries to use /(G)ZLINE on a host.
(G)ZLINES should be placed on *@ipmasks because they are processed before any
ident and host lookups.
- - Made (fast) badwords work better with word boundaries, in practice this means
blocking of words with accents/umlauts/es-zett/etc now works properly.
- - Made it so halfops can now -h themselves and chanadmins can -a themselves.
- - Made spamfilter 'u' also check nickchanges.
==[ MAJOR BUGS FIXED ]==
- - Serious crashbug [this is the same fix that was fixed by the hotfix/3.2.2b]
- - TRE mem corruption- & crash-bugs (eg: in backreferences).
==[ MINOR BUGS FIXED ]==
- - Made kline/shun/zline/gzline without parameters report the correct stats(flag).
- - Made a few more errors send out to all opers, such as link::bind-ip problems.
- - A few missing operflags in /STATS O (and SVSO)
- - DCC Spamfilter was not always working correctly
- - OperOverriding to, for example, a +zi channel did not print the special join notice.
- - Servers behind ulines were not properly ulined, one effect that had was causing
an odd view in /MAP if you had flat-map + hide ulines + a juped server in services.
- - Made SVSMODE -b/-e remove bans/excepts placed on IPs
- - The set::htm::incoming-rate config item was not working correctly
- - If a user was +R then remote server notices were accidently also filtered.
- - A locop setting MODE #CHAN +O caused a desynch
- - Resolver sometimes incorrectly aliased names, causing incorect TTLs etc.
- - Fixed SVSNOOP not removing ALL oper status properly.
- - 'shun' target was not working for spamfilter and ban version { }
- - Removing of shuns placed on IP's did not take effect immediately (had to reconnect).
- - Fixed a bug in mode skipping (eg: '+qk a b' if not +q) and error msgs.
- - Chanmode +f #t (per-user text limit) now no longer affects halfops.
- - Opers w/can_override can now +qa/-qa if they are not netadmins, also affected +L/+u.
Be sure you upgrade all servers to 3.2.3 if using these new abilities, or else you
will get desynch issues.
- - Fixed several /SAMODE bugs as well, regarding non-netadmins, being halfop'ed, etc.
- - /GZLINE [nick] was placing a *line on *@host instead of *@IP, fixed.
- - alias::format in combination with ::type 'command' caused a crash
- - zlib upgraded to 1.2.2, curl upgraded to 7.13.1, both fix various issues.
- - Win32 installer now also installs doc\technical\*.*
- - Desynch issues regarding +s/+p and +c/+S
- - /SAMODE causing a 'fishy timestamp' if a cmode with a digit parameter was used.
==[ REMOVED ]==
- - NAZIISH_CHBAN_HANDLING (did not work at all)
- - The 'oldcloak' cloaking module is now removed, since this old algorithm got broken
8 months ago, nobody should be using it anymore.
==[ CHANGELOG ]==
- - Fixed a typo in the makefile for USERIP
- - Made the WATCH command work for WebTV users (#0002121) suggested by White_Magic.
- - Some text updates... docs: now 3.2.2-CVS, also got rid of double version to avoid
confusion. credits: fixed typo.
- - Added updated auspice.conf from Rocko since previous one was outdated (#0002147).
- - Recoded the config parsing code
- The new system is much faster, for the programmers out there, the
old system averaged O(MN) where N was the number of sub-directives for a block, and
M was the number of sub-directives actually contained in the block in the config file.
The new system averages O(N), so the number of sub-directives no longer has a significant
impact on performance.
- Added duplicate config entry detection (#0002126) suggested by brain2
- May have a few bugs (easily fixed)
- - Corrected numerous -Wall warnings
- - Fixed a bug with /rehash and classes due to the config parser rewrite
- - Modified the module symbol dependency code to do more accurate searching for the module
that contains the necessary symbol (#0002123) suggested by Xuefer.
- Unreal will now prepend the pathname to the module and append the appropriate extension
(.so or .dll) to the end)
- The new module system version is "3.2.3" to allow for backwards compatibility
- - Documented the default behavior of snomasks when /mode nick +s is used (#0002141) suggested
by Bugz.
- - Added "const" to the functions in match.c, (#0002116) suggested by Xuefer.
- - Made ./Config better handle command line arguments
- - Removed NAZIISH_CHBAN_HANDLING as it didn't do anything
- - Added -advanced flag to ./Config to configure advanced options (#0002145) suggested by
Bugz. As a result, some config.h options are now in ./Config -advanced.
- - Small fix for above
- - Added the ability to specify a botmotd and opermotd in a tld {} (#0000176) suggested by
swissSolaris.
- - Fixed crashbug on /rehash due to config rewrite, also made DEBUGMODE working again.
- - Removed an excess space from the SAMODE notice when a mode without a parameter was set
(#0002134) reported by Bugz.
- - Fixed small memory leak on /rehash (post-3.2.2).
- - Fixed botmotd crash due to last change (post-3.2.2).
- - Updated the Donation file
- - Added a 'B' flag to /who output for bots, and allowed normal users to /who +m B
(#0002096) suggested by White_Magic
- - Added support for using \\ in the config file to indicate a \ (#0002178) reported by
TimeFX
- - Added documentation for set::options::fail-oper-warn (#0002166) reported by Snake
- - Removed an extra ) in the Throttle disconnect message (#0002165) reported by Snake
- - Fixed a bug where the "looking up your hostname" message could still be displayed even
if hostname resolving was disabled (#0002161) reported by Xuefer
- - Made typing /kline, /shun, /zline, and /gzline correctly report the correct /stats flag,
and these commands now produce the same output as the respective /stats flag they emulate
(#0002149) reported by Snake
- - Renamed some calls from report_error() to report_baderror() since otherwise the errors are
hardly ever seen (unless you have +s +j set). For example a bad link::bind-ip only caused
"Couldn't connect to xxxxxx" without any meaningful error message. Additionally, errors
sent to report_baderror() are now logged.
- - Win32 installer: Apparently 'install as a service' was still not the default, reported
by fez (#0002191, #0002189).
- - Fixed the crule parser to treat - and : as valid 'word' characters rather than separators
(#0002188) reported by diskman1.
- - Fixed bug in remote version reply, reported by DukePyrolator (#0002180).
- - Added set::dns::bind-ip (rarely ever needed, but might be useful for paranoid people).
- - Some unreal32docs->security section improvements.
- - Fixed a minor bug in the new config system when displaying link {} and set::hosts errors
(#0002194) reported by AngryWolf.
- - Renamed RPL_INVITELIST/RPL_ENDOFINVITELIST to RPL_INVEXLIST/RPL_ENDOFINVEXLIST
- - Using /invite with no parameters now lists the channels you are invited to but have not
yet joined (#0002190) suggested by sac.
- - Added some missing operflags to /stats O and SVSO (#0002193) reported by Bugz.
- - If a user is +b on a channel, and set::allow-userhost-change force-rejoin is used, a
part/join is not sent in order to prevent flooding (#0001933) suggested by Z3l3zT.
- - Rewrote some of the previous change to deal with some strange issues found by aquanight
- Introduced two new macros DYN_LOCAL and DYN_FREE to allow creation/deletion of dynamically
sized arrays in the most efficient manner (C99 variable length, alloca, or malloc)
- - Changed the +z cannot join message to be a bit more descriptive (#0002148) suggested by cust.
- - Added a config.h options, IPV6_COMPRESSED to make Unreal use compressed IPv6 addresses where
possible (#0002107) suggested by Neo-Vortex.
- - Fixed alloca warning @ Linux (post-3.2.2)
- - Numeric audit: 15 small changes (int/long mismatches etc). This might have fixed some
bugs on architectures where 'long' and 'int' have different sizes (eg: opteron).
- - Added a set::gline-address which works like set::kline-address (#0001298) suggested by
Bugz.
- - Added missing documentation for spamfilter away target (#0002205) reported by Dukat.
- - Fixed dcc spamfilter problem reported by TimeFX and Deadalus (#2177, #2204).
- - Fixed Oper Override not giving a 'special join notice' if +z is set along with another mode
(eg: +i/+k), reported by tabrisnet (#0001487).
- - help.conf: Fixed a typo, updated *CMDS indexes a bit, reported crazy (#0002208),
added long flags to OFLAGS.
- - OperOverride INVITE notices are now also global (if you have the eyes snomask set) (#2212).
- - Module coders: New function: sendto_snomask_global().
- - Speedup sendto_snomask/sendto_connectnotice/sendto_fconnectnotice code.
- - spamfilter.conf: fixed mIRC exploit sigs
- - Fixed all spamfilters in configfile not working due to configrewrite (post-3.2.2).
- - Module coders: sendto_snomask* now only sends to opers, sendto_snomask_normal* can be used
to send to normal users w/the snomask set.
- - Fixed dcc filtering a bit more.
- - Made usermode 'g' operonly since it didn't do much, reported by DukePyrolator (#0002024).
- - Fixed tkl except { } not working (post-3.2.2).
- - Fixed bug where servers behind ulines were not ulined, causing for example juped servers to
show up if flat-map was enabled, reported by GSF19 (#0002230).

translations.txt.
- - Added a basic regex tutorial to unreal32docs.html (#0000920)
- - Updated wircd.def
- - Made CIDR no longer accept bitmasks with less than 16bits for /*line commands (#0002240)
reported by aquanight.

- - Added some error checking to /sapart (#0002253) suggested by Troco.
- - Imported TRE 0.7.2 for Windows
- - Imported TRE 0.7.2 for *nix
- - Got rid of wma/wmv in dccallow.conf, better to require an explicit select here due to
recent DRM exploits (spyware etc).
- - Fixed /restart reasons, reported by SouL-FoRTuNe.
- - Partial (incomplete!) fix for alloca warnings during compile (especially w/SSL).
- - Fixed serious crashbug that can be triggered by users, released a hotfix and a seperate
version called 3.2.2b (which is just 3.2.2+patch+version change to '3.2.2b',
nothing else).
- - Fixed 'make install' error due to example.settings remove.
- - Fixed a minor typo in the "now an oper" announcement (#0002284) reported by Rocko.

- - Made /sajoin support multiple channels and using 0 (#0002231) suggested by acemi.
- - Fixed a problem where doing ./unreal restart multiple times would not actually restart
the ircd (#0002120) reported by SineSwiper.

- - Fixed a problem with set::htm::incoming-rate being interpreted incorrectly (#0002266)
reported by tabrisnet.
- - Fixed a resolver cache bug regarding CNAME's. Thanks to insiderZ.DE for tracing down
this issue.

and on a remote server (#0002288) reported by Freadon.
- - Made /stats E include tkl except stats as well (#0001524) suggested by Cnils.
- - Added an options member to the ExtbanInfo structure. This currently supports one flag,
EXTBOPT_CHSVSMODE. When set, this extban will be removed when an SVSMODE -b [nick] is
executed (#0002222) suggested by Snake.
- - Fixed a bug where specifying a reason to SVSPART would cause it to fail (#0002210) reported
by tabrisnet.
- - Moved channel mode +G to extcmode to make room for invex.
- - Added debug code to trace proto-check bugs in DEBUGMODE [IsToken() etc]
- - [Module coders] Added new function: do_cmd(cptr, sptr, cmd, parc, parv) which is an
uniform method to call any other commands. For more info, see description in src/packet.c.
This will be used for any further modulization of commands that need to call other
commands, like NICK (will be done soon).
- - Added invite exceptions (+I). This prevents users from needing a /invite in for a +i
channel (#0002044) suggested by medice.
- - Updated help.conf's +f documentation for the new syntax
- - Fixed some problems with the /stats help and documentation (#0002299) reported by Rocko.
- - Corrected the help.conf documentation for /invite (#0002306) reported by White_Magic.
- - Fixed a documentation inconsistency with me::numeric (#0002290) reported by Bugz.
- - Fixed a problem when compiling Unreal with GUEST support (#0001758) dvzion.
- - Fixed a win32 GUI problem where the tray menu's config submenu was not updated when new
files were loaded or files were unloaded (#0002084) reported by Troco.
- - Made m_template.c use CommandAdd() and CMD_FUNC()
- - Modulized a lot of commands and related subfunctions: NICK (750 lines), USER (200),
MODE (2300), WATCH (250), JOIN (600), PART (250), MOTD (100), OPERMOTD (100),
BOTMOTD (100), LUSERS (100). More will follow soon (probably including more subfunctions
related to existing commands).
- - Various (important) fixes to above, also made win32 compile work again.
- - And some more.
- - Made unreal_copyfile try hardlinking first, if that fails.. it will try to copy
(perhaps this should be a different function?). Anyway, this means less diskspace
is needed (~1.5mb or more), and it also makes it a bit easier for RBAC (#2300).
- - Made a new function DoMD5() which is ssl/non-ssl independent. Also made the cloaking
module and the auth functions use it. Hopefully I didn't break anything ;). Suggested
by Bugz (#2298).
- - Fixed mode #chan +O set by locop causing a desynch, reported by Unim4trix0 (#0001946).
- - Added spamfilter topic support ('t' in /spamfilter, or 'topic' in conf), suggested
by Z3l3zT (#0001929).
- - Updated makefile to fix compile problem, reported by vonitsanet (#0002317) [?].
Also made loading m_*.so work again.
- - Added unreal_copyfileex() which works just like unreal_copyfile() but has an additional
param to try hardlinks first.
- - Win32 crash fixes due to modulizing
- - Made channel mode +c block RGB color codes.
- - Fixed a bug with channel alias{}'s where using the format syntax caused a crash (#0002323)
reported by Snake.
- - Made channel mode +S strip RGB color codes.
- - Added channelmode +j (jointhrottle), syntax: /mode #chan +j X:Y, and then it will
throttle the number of joins per-user to X in Y seconds. Idea from Angrywolf (who
wrote a module that did this before). This needs testing :).
It's enabled by default but can be #undef'ed in include/config.h (line 449).
- - Added a feature to +b ~c, ~c:[prefix]<#channel>, prefix can be +/%/@/&/~ and will
check if the user is voiced/halfoped/etc.. Especially useful for +e ~c. Idea from
Bugz (#0002198). Obviously all servers need to be upgraded to make this work.
- - Fixed SVSNOOP bug where remote servers still thought the opers had privileges, reported
by Zell (#0002185)
- - Docs: log { } from 'optional' -> 'recomended'
- - If no log { } block is present a warning will be printed out and we will fallback
to a default of logging errors to ircd.log. Suggested by w00t (#0002327).
- - Fixed shuns not working as target in spamfilter and ban version { }, reported by Bugz
(#0002223).
- - Fixed a bug where shuns placed on IP's did not take effect to currently connected users.
- - Fixed a small doc bug regarding shun in spamfilter, reported by KnuX (#0002338).
- - Added greek docs, translator: GSF.
- - Some help.conf/005.txt updates, reported by Ron2K (#0002354).
- - No longer cutoff nick upon illegal character -- just reject the whole nick. The nick is
still cutoff if the nick is too long. Basically this is the same way as Hybrid does it
so it should work ok :).
- - Added nick character system. This allows you to choose which (additional) characters
to allow in nicks via set::allowed-nickchars. See unreal32docs.html -> section 3.16
for a list of available languages and more info on how to use it.
Current list: dutch, french, german, italian, spanish, euro-west, chinese-trad,
chinese-simp, chinese-ja, chinese.
If you wonder why your language is not yet included or why a certain mistake is present,
then please understand that we are most likely not experienced (at all) in your language.
If you are a native of your language (or know the language well), and your language
is not included yet or you have some corrections, then contact syzop at vulnscan.org or
report it as a bug on http://bugs.unrealircd.org/
- - Added swedish support for nicks, supplied by Tank.
- - Various updates to unreal32docs from Ron2K (#0002354).
- - set::allowed-nickchars:
- Renamed 'euro-west' to 'latin1' since that's more descriptive/fair ;)
- Added 'hungarian' [supplied by AngryWolf]
- Added category 'latin2': just Hungarian for now
- Added 'catalan' [supplied by Trocotronic]
- Added 'greek' [supplied by GSF]
- Added category 'latin7': alias for 'greek'
- Added category 'gbk': alias for 'chinese'
- - Removed 2 unneeded characters from 'catalan'.
- - Added NICKCHARS= in PROTOCTL. This indicates which languages are accepted in nicks.
If 2 servers try to link and the allowed nick characters do not fully match, then
the link will be rejected. Note that this will not prevent you from 3.2.2<->3.2.3/CVS
charsets mistakes, but only with linking CVS/3.2.3+ servers. Suggested by Troco (#0002360)
This might need some additional testing, but initial results are positive :).
- - NickChars:
- Got rid of 'latin7', tiny mistake ;)
- Removed e' accent from German (used in borrow-words only), reported by Dukat.
- Added 'swiss-german', which is just German without es-zett, reported by Dukat.
- Added 'turkish', supplied by Ayberk Yancatoral.
- Build in some additional checks (especially for Chinese).
- Fixed a bug in chinese character range (affecting 3.2*)
- Relaxed nick character checking from remote servers (rely on NICKCHARS= PROTOCTL
to deal with problems). This is useful to prevent any kills in case we slightly
change the characters that are allowed in a language.
- Added 'polish' (latin2), supplied by k4be.
- Added 'hebrew' (iso8859-8I / windows-1255), supplied by PHANTOm.
- - Added French example.fr.conf and help.fr.conf, translated/maintained by Babass.
- - Fixed a doc typo, reported by SDF_of_BC.
- - NickChars: Updated polish a bit, and added polish-w1250 which is unfortunately more
common than real latin2 (iso-8859-2), supplied by k4be as well.
- - NickChars: Added 'icelandic', supplied by Saevar.
- - Updated wircd.def
- - Fixed a bug where USERIP would say USERHOST in the not-enough-parameters numeric
(#0002366) reported by vonitsanet.
- - Fixed a bug causing SVSNICK not to send out a snomask +n notice (#0002359) reported by
Rob_.
- - Fixed a bug where SAJOIN would list channels multiple times in the notices (#0002325)
reported by vonitsanet.
- - Fixed a bug in mode-skipping (eg '+qk a b' if not +q) and error msgs, reported by brain2
(#0002372).
- - Fixed bug where chanmode +f #t (per-user text kick[ban]) was also affecting halfops,
reported by seneces (#0002333).
- - Fixed doc bug reported by Dukat (#0002374). Also fixed 2 error msgs related to
the nickchars system printing out incorrect set:: directives.
- - spamfilter.conf and dccallow.conf are now also copied upon make install, reported by
TommyTheKid (#0002313).
- - Made CHGIDENT, CHGHOST and CHGNAME use more numerics (where possible) (#0002358).
- - Fixed halfop trying to set chanmode +G/+T/+j not getting an error message, reported
by Ron2K (#Ron2K).
- - Module coders: using extcmode_default_requirechop is now depricated, check src/extcmodes.c
ctrl+f extcmode_default_requirechop for more details (solution: copy+paste & fill in modechar).
- - Nicks with ~ are now also not cutoff anymore but rejected like any other illegal char (#0002074).
- - Fixed bug in +G where with not-really-matching-words color was needlessly stripped,
reported by SpeedFire (#0002375).
- - Changed the 'is a Secure Connection' msg/numeric in /whois from RPL_WHOISSPECIAL to
a slightly changed RPL_WHOISSECURE, namely: ':%s 671 %s %s :is using a Secure connection',
I'm sure some client coders will bitch at this, but the current way is brok in 2 ways:
- RPL_WHOISSPECIAL is meant for 1 line of additional whois info, usually an IRCOp title or
description. Having a dedicated numeric for it allows for client-side interpretations
and/or translations.
- The 'is a Secure Connection' was incorrect English, this has been reported numerous times.
The PRO's of this change are clear, the only CON is that in-window-/whois's are now
likely not to show this line properly in-window but rather in the status window, until client
coders implement this numeric.
If you wonder why we didn't use RPL_USINGSSL, that's because this numeric collides with
RPL_STATSDLINE (which we are already using for >5 years).
If you wonder why we didn't use the RPL_WHOISSECURE numeric as-is (even though I haven't
seen it in use anywhere), then that's because we wanted to minimize display problems in
the transition period and the extra parameter would not be used by us anyway.
- - If a locop now has can_override/can_gkline/can_gzline we will print out a warning and
convert it to globops. This is also what we always did for can_globalroute/can_gkill
(well, except the warning). Giving such NETWORK (GLOBAL) privileges to a LOCAL operator
does not make any sense and is therefore no longer allowed.
- - NickChars:
- Added 'russian-w1251', supplied by Roman Parkin. There are like 7 standards
in Russia (and like 2-3 main ones), so I didn't dare to call this one 'russian' ;).
- Added 'czech-w1250' and 'slovak-w1250' (both might miss a few characters).
- Added 'windows-1250' group which contains czech-w1250, slovak-w1250, polish-w1250
and hungarian.
- Hungarian characters show both fine in w1250 and latin2, hence hungarian is included
both in 'windows-1250' and 'latin2'.
- Fixed bug: polish was not included in latin2
- - Fixed various OperOverride issues:
- Opers with can_override can now +qa/-qa even if they are not netadmins,
and they can also (un)set L/u.
- Fixed several SAMODE bugs, such as not completely working for non-netadmins and
not working if you were halfop'ed, etc.
Bugs reported by pak, aquanight, niphler, Bugz, and more.
If there are still any bugs left, please report them on http://bugs.unrealircd.org/
NOTE: some of these enhancements will produce desynchs if your net is not 100%
on current CVS / Unreal3.2.3 and an oper tries to use these 'new features'.
So use with care on mixed-version nets.
- - Fixed /(G)ZLINE [nick] placing the *line on *@host instead of *@IP, reported by
Snake (#0002246).
- - A warning is now sent to the oper if (s)he tries to add a (G)ZLINE on *@host.
(G)ZLINES should have an ipmask, not a hostmask, because they are processed BEFORE
any dns lookups are done. Therefore any (g)zlines placed will probably work
(but not necessarily) for like an hour (or whatever TTL), but after that the
(ab)user can get in again so this is usually not what you want ;).
I suppose I'll add a FAQ entry about this.
- - Made badwords (+G) now work with hardcoded word boundaries. Also made the fastbadwords
system accept more characters. Basically what this means is that the (fast) badwords
system can now be used to properly block words with accents and things like that, just
the way you block English words. Bug reported by MJ12Helios (#0002311).
- - Fixed 'russian-w1251', was not working ok at all.
- - Made it so halfops can -h themselves, and chanadmins can -a themselves, reported
by fez (#0001503).
- - Made spamfilter 'u' also check nickchanges, reported by Gilou (#0002251).
- - Updated doc/technical/token.txt, reported by webfox (#0002373).
- - NickChars: Added 'romanian', supplied by crazytoon.
- - Added 3.2.3 release notes (expected to be changed later on).
- - Updated russian-w1251 (added 2 chars).
- - Made the (G)ZLINE warning only happen on add, as it should. Reported by crazy.
- - Made some (incorrect) -Wall warnings dissapear.
- - Renamed version to 3.2.3-pre1, for Thursday. I'll keep the doc version numbers
at 3.2.2-CVS to avoid confusion with the online semi-realtime docs ;).
** internal 3.2.3-pre1 release **
- - Fixed a bug with /invite with no parameters (accidentily broken when +I was added)
(#0002383) reported by trystanscott.
- - Fixed a bug where /SAJOIN user 0 caused a desynch, reported by trystanscott (#0002384).
- - Merged NICKCHARS= in PROTOCTL for now, since a seperate one is not (yet!) needed,
reported by SolutechUK and psadi (#0002386).
- - Fixed various (major) problems that the '-h yourself' caused, reported by Trocotronic
(#0002387).
- - Fix for above, also reported by Trocotronic.
** internal 3.2.3-pre2 release **
- - Fixed a couple of typos in doc/example.conf (#0002393) reported by AngryWolf.
- - Added documentation about channel mode +j (#0002392) suggested by Dukat.

- - Made windows installer also install doc\technical\*

- - Made +g get removed when an oper sets -o (#0002399) reported by Ron2K.
- - Made it so the win32 version shows channel modes in /list (#0002397) reported by Ron2K.
- - Fixed /SAMODE with no can_override not always working with +G/+j/+T (extcmodes), reported
by Ron2K (#0002398).
- - Added doc/example.de.conf
** internal 3.2.3-pre3 release **
- - Some spelling fixes in unreal32docs.html, reported by alex323 (#2412).
- - Updated the list of donators
- - /SAMODE could cause 'fishy timestamp' if digit parameters were used (eg: SAMODE #chan +l 5),
this has now be fixed by sending an explicit TS 0.
- - Fixed an important channelmode +j memory corruption bug that would cause crashes, reported
by Bergee (#0002416).
- - Some clarifications on /RESTART, remote restarts were well never supported, so the docs
are now updated on that (no code changes).
