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",
