Update Information:
UnrealIRCd 5.0.8 ================ The main purpose of this release is to
enhance the reputation functionality. There have also been some other changes
and minor bug fixes. For more information, see below. Enhancements ------------
* Support for security groups, of which four groups always exist by default:
known-users, unknown-users, tls-users and tls-and-known-users. * New extended
ban `~G:securitygroupname`. Typical usage would be `MODE #chan +b ~G:unknown-
users` which will ban all users from the channel that are not identified to
services and have a reputation score below 25 (by default). The exact settings
can be tweaked in the security group block. * The reputation command (IRCOp-
only) has been extended to make it easier to look for potential troublemakers:
* `REPUTATION Nick` shows reputation about the nick name * `REPUTATION IP`
shows reputation about the IP address * `REPUTATION #channel` lists users in
channel with their reputation score * `REPUTATION <NN` lists users with
reputation scores below value NN * Only send the first 1000 matches on `STATS
gline` or a similar command. This to prevent the IRCOp from being flooded off.
This value can be changed via `set::max-stats-matches` * Warn when the SSL/TLS
server certificate is expired or expires soon (within 7 days). * New option
`allow::options::reject-on-auth-failure` if you want to stop matching on a
passworded allow block, see the allow password documentation for more
information. Note that most people won't use this. Fixes ----- * The `WHO`
command searched on nick name even if it was told to search on a specific
account name via WHOX options. * Some typos in the Config script and a warning
* Counting clients twice in some circumstances Changes ------- * Support for
`$(DESTDIR)` in `make install` if packaging for a distro * Mention the ban
reason in Q-line server notices * Add self-test to module manager and improve
the error message in case the IRCd source directory does not exist. * Print
out a more helpful error if you run the unrealircd binary rather than the
unrealircd script with an argument like 'mkpasswd' etc. * On *NIX create a
symlink 'source' to the UnrealIRCd source Module coders / Developers
-------------------------- * The Doxygen module API docs have been improved,
in particular the Hook API is now 100% documented.
