[IRCServices Coding] Services 5.0 alpha 9 released

[Russell Garrett]

OK, a few comments from me. I haven't managed to crash it yet, which
is always a good sign ;).

I was playing with the httpd/dbaccess/xml-export module, and IE6's
usually annoying XML syntax checking pointed something out. Where
there's an ampersand in a last_quit field, it replaces it with
"&amp-" as opposed to the correct "&", which causes IE to choke
:). The context is as follows:

<nickinfo>
<nick>[nick]</nick>
...
<last_quit>Quit: Peace &amp- Protection 4.06</last_quit>
...
<nickinfo>

Also, it seems to pad every <supass> or <pass> field with lots of
"&#0;" null chars:
<supass>mysupass&#0;&#0;&#0;&#0;&#0;&#0;&#0;&#0;&#0;&#0;&#0;&#0;&#0;&
#0;&#0;&#0;&#0;&#0;&#0;&#0;&#0;&#0;</supass>
<pass>&#0;&#0;&#0;&#0;&#0;&#0;&#0;&#0;&#0;&#0;&#0;&#0;&#0;&#0;&#0;&#0
;&#0;&#0;&#0;&#0;&#0;&#0;&#0;&#0;&#0;&#0;&#0;&#0;&#0;&#0;&#0;&#0;</pa
ss>

Note: I am working with a copy of my live v4 database.

Also, on my #chat channel on the v4 installation, Voice is set to
level 0, so everyone is voiced when they join. However, when my AOPs
join #chat on the v5 net, they get set +hq, and normal users don't
get anything, which is rather odd (possibly to do with me not running
the xOP module or something...). I'm continuing to investigate this
one.
