I thought it's probably time to write an email explaining what we're up to in the world at the moment. So heres what we've done to 2.10.11
in 2.10.11: * /names requires a "0" to list all names since people tend to flood themselves off. * Server side /JUPE * Server side /GLINE * Massive engine changes, modebuf's, joinbuf's, new networking engine) (The effect of this can be seen http://www.break.net/ircu10-to-11.png on the left is 2.10.11, on the right is 2.10.10), we've got scattergather, kqueue, and several other buzwords. * Cleaned up /map (which then got hidden later, pity) * Server Side /CLEARMODE * extended who now shows all flags for a user on a channel @ and + etc * /VERSION now returns 005 too. * Allows double digit I: limits. * Allows bans, glines, klines, silences etc to allow CID/R style. * If a topic is reset to what it already is, note the update, but don't pass it onto clients, thusly X's "autotopic" becomes a lot less annoying (and bandwidth intensive). * /connect with a port of "0" means "use the port from the config file" instead of every oper needing to remember every servers port. * Now gives "Protocol Violation" +g messages to help try and find and cleanup protocol issues. * most of "make config" is now in the config file (or, some of it is parameters to ./configure), also settable by "SET" "RESET" and "GET", and viewable by "stats f" * Kev went mad and rewrote the logging subsystem, you can now long sneezes via the feature mechanism above. * New MesgQ system for handling sendq's -- data that goes to multiple people only gets stored once. Hopefully this should make netsplits a lot less annoying. * You can now twiddle the TOS bits that ircu uses, for those performance freaks. * /privs shows you what priviledges an oper has. * Check for clockskew from other servers and bitch 'n moan about it. * /stats e -- show which networking engine is in use. * Quit: Prefix on quit messages. * Display the maximum number of connects in an I: in /stats i -- Q: How do you save a drowning lawyer? A: Throw him a rock.
