This is UnrealIRCd 5.2.0, a release with lots of new features. The two main new features are: an improved and more flexible anti-flood block and channel history which can now be stored encrypted on disk and allows clients to fetch hundreds/thousands of lines.
Notice from upstream: UnrealIRCd 5.2.0 is the direct successor to 5.0.9/5.0.9.1. There will be no further 5.0.x releases, in particular there will be no 5.0.10.
The only configuration change is in the set::anti-flood block (as explained further down under "Enhancements"). When starting UnrealIRCd will give clear instructions if anything needs to be changed (and what). This process is really minor, the server will usually tell to just delete a few old lines from the configuration file.
set::anti-flood block has been redone so you can have different limits for unknown-users and known-users.known-users are users who are identified to services OR are on an IP that has been connected for over 2 hours in the past X days. The exact definition of "known-users" is in the security-group block.target-flood, nick-flood, join-flood, away-flood, invite-flood, knock-flood, max-concurrent-conversations are now reported to opers with the snomask f (flood).secret { } block. Then from the various modules you can refer to this secret block, from set::reputation::db-secret, set::tkldb::db-secret and set::channeldb::db-secret. This way you can encrypt the reputation, TKL and channel database for increased privacy.+H and +P set.data/history/ in individual .db files. No channel names are visible in the filenames for optimal privacy.+H have been raised and are now different for +r (registered) and -r channels. For unregistered channels the limit is now 200 lines / 31 days. For registered channels the limit is 5000 lines / 31 days. The old limit for both was 200 lines / 7 days. These maximums can be changed in the now slightly different set::history::channel::max-storage-per-channel block./VERSION.WHOX now supports displaying the reputation score. If you are an IRCOp then you can use e.g. WHO * %cuhsnfmdaRr.T target. Right now it would be unusual to use this, but some day when we have more message tags it may come in handy.+draft/reply IRCv3 client tag. Can be used by bots (and others) to indicate to what message people are replying to. This module, reply-tag, is loaded by default.draft/bot IRCv3 message tag if the user has mode +B set.Sec-WebSocket-Protocol, instead of only the default type from listen::websocket::type. This is based on an IRCv3 websocket draft specification. Note that UnrealIRCd refuses type text if your configuration allows non-UTF8 characters in channel or nick names because it would lead to security and compatibility issues.set::restrict-commands: new option exempt-tls which allows SSL/TLS users to bypass a restriction.ZLINE/GZLINE since they won't work there.~a:accname was not working for shun, and only partially working for KLINE/GLINE./ELINE error message.+H always showed time in minutes (m) until now. From now on it will show it in minutes (m), hours (h) or days (d) depending on the actual value. E.g. +H 50:7d.ircd.log. From now on we will log everything (not only errors) to that file.Please login to add feedback.
