Unreal3.2-RC2 released

[Bram M. (Syzop) <sy...@vu...>]

The second release candidate for 3.2 is out already!
This is mainly a bugfix release but also comes with some nice
spamfilter improvements.

Unreal3.2-RC2 Release Notes
============================

==[ GENERAL INFORMATION ]==
* This is the second (and hopefully last) Release Candidate.
   After this we intend to release 3.2 final.
* This is a recommended release because various crashbugs have been fixed.
* If you are upgrading, make sure you run ./Config and make clean before doing make
* The official UnrealIRCd documentation is doc/unreal32docs.html
   online version at: http://www.vulnscan.org/UnrealIrcd/unreal32docs.html
   FAQ: http://www.vulnscan.org/UnrealIrcd/faq/
   Read them before asking for help.
* Report bugs at http://bugs.unrealircd.org/

== [NEW FEATURES (see unreal32docs.html for more information) ]==
* Lots of spamfilter improvements.
   * The new syntax is:
     /spamfilter [what] [type] [action] [tkltime] [reason] [regex]
     [tkltime] specifies the duration of any *lines placed by this rule.
     [reason]  specifies the *line, kill and/or block reason.. no spaces
               allowed, but '_' will be translated to a space.
     In both cases you can simply use '-' to skip and use the default.
     Ex: /spamfilter add p block - - Come watch me on my webcam
         /spamfilter add p gline 3h Please_go_to_www.viruscan.xx/[linewrap]
         nicepage/virus=blah Come watch me on my webcam
   * The spamfilter { } blocks also have a new 'reason' and 'ban-time' field.
   * The user will now receive a notice if the msg/notice/dcc is blocked.
   * There are 2 new spamfilter action types:
     'dccblock' will mark the user so (s)he's unable to send any files by DCC.
     'viruschan' will part the user from all channels and join
       set::spamfilter::virus-help-channel (default: #help).
       After this all commands for the user are disabled except: PONG, ADMIN
       and NOTICE/PRIVMSG's to the virus-help-channel.
       Also any ops (+oaq) in the virus help channel will receive a notice
       explaining which filter the user matched (so they can help the user out).
   * Added set::spamfilter::except which allows you to specify targets where
     spamfilter should not take action. Useful for spam-report/help chans.
     Ex: set { spamfilter { except "#spamreport,#help"; }; };
   * there's now a 'spamfilter.conf' file with some effective spamfilter rules.
* Added '/tempshun' command (/tempshun nick reason, /tempshun -nick).

==[ MAJOR BUGS FIXED ]==
* The ircd was unable to boot on some OSs because unreal removed tmp/
* crash: if an invalid regex was entered (eg: in spamfilter) the ircd could crash
* crash: The TRE regex library could be crashed in case of some (advanced) regexes.
* crash: several remote includes problems (also non-crash)
* crash/security: an user-triggerable crash bug
* Fixed problem with 'tkl update' which could lead to server fights in some cases.

==[ MINOR BUGS FIXED ]==
* allow::options::noident now actually works
* Fixed compile problem on Solaris
* Some OperOverride + ExtModes fixes (eg: globop w/can_override couldn't set +T)
* +qaohv'ing a network service was disallowed
* chanmode +f was often reset on synch when it was already the same at both sides
* Spamfilter single-target are now supported, eg:
   spamfilter { regex "blah"; action kill; target private; };
   previously the ircd didn't warn about this (but it didn't work).

==[ CHANGED ]==
* Updated /credits. Now includes everyone who has sent in donations,
   thanks to everyone!
* Various help.conf/docs updates as usual
* New hooks for module coders and other module system improvements.
* Modulized A LOT of commands (34): this allows better "hot patching"
   and leaving out commands (eg: loading all m_*.so mods except m_addline.so).
* Moved SQLINE system (and ban nick) to TKL and introduced "holds",
   this might later be used by services for nick enforcement.
* Restricted class::pingfreq to 30-600.. anything higher and you might get
   mysterious (mass) disconnect issues... Anything lower is dumb too.
* Added checking for insane listen port ranges (eg 6667-7000).
* Improved DCC blocking (like dcc to channels)
* Made some numerics more clear by including the channelname (+V/+O/+A)

==[ FULL CHANGELOG ]==
- Fixed a problem regarding the new module system and deleting the tmp/ directory
   under Linux 2.2 (thanks to FunTeenChat for helping track this down)
- Updated /credits. Now includes everyone who has sent in donations, thanks
   to everyone!
- Fixed a bug in "unkickable users" (umode +q), they could still be kicked
   by non-netadmin ircops in some (many) cases, reported by Zell (#0001541).
- Removed reference to SVSTIME from help.conf (it's actually /tsctl svstime)
   (#0001540) reported by penna and DukePyrolator.
- Added HOOKTYPE_UMODE_CHANGE (sptr, oldflags, newflags) - this may
   not be accurate as umode changes are done manually many places.
- Added HOOKTYPE_TOPIC (catches both remote and local TOPIC sets).
- Added a missing ; in the docs oper {} example, reported by Certus
- Fixed a bug with leaving out SJB64 in PROTOCTL resulting in strangeness
   (#0001545) reported by MagicalTux2
- Added [OLD?] flag in /module so you can easily spot old beta* modules.
- Modulized: samode, sajoin, sapart, kick, topic, invite, list
- Added HOOKTYPE_REHASH_COMPLETE to allow permanent modules to reload
   command overrides. (#0001553) reported by AngryWolf
- Modulized: time, svskill
- Modulized: sjoin, pass, userhost, ison, silence
- Modulized: knock, umode2, squit, protoctl
- Slightly changed how extcmodes handles access control
- Module coders: for extended channelmodes the EXCHK_ACCESS* the return
   value should now be one of EX_*:
   EX_DENY        : disallowed, except for oper override
   EX_ALLOW       : allowed
   EX_ALWAYS_DENY : disallowed, even in case of operoverride (eg for
                    operlevel modes like +A).
   Note that it's backward compatible since TRUE/EX_ALLOW=1 and FALSE/EX_DENY=0.
- Fixed a few bugs with oper override & extended chanmodes, for example
   chanmode +T could not be set by a globop w/can_override and non-+hoaq.
- Added some set::throttle::* checking if insane values were supplied.
   Reported by Troco (#0001555).
- Added support for single-target specifiction like spamfilter { regex "blah";
   action kill; target private; }; previously it didn't warn/error on this
   but it didn't work either.
- Fixed a bug in the unreal_checkregex() routine which could cause a crash
   if you added an invalid regex. Reported by Tony (#0001556).
- Fixed the problem with services and SETHOST for unknown user errors
   (#0000893) reported by vorte[x]
- Made allow::options::noident work correctly (#0001416) reported by Zifnab
- Made some files include limits.h to find PATH_MAX on Solaris (#0001561)
   reported by lunytune
- Made a change to the remote include code to deal with a random memory corruption
   issue (#0001558) reported by hybridz.
- Fixed a bug caused by the fix to bug (#0000917) that would also prevent you from
   setting +qaohv on a network service (#0001563) reported by Rocko.
- Fixed a few wrong macro's (ircstrdup/ircfree) in s_conf.c causing
   very weird behavior... This also fixes a bug where set::spamfilter::ban-reason
   would have the value of ban-time.
- Improved spamfilter again.
   - The new syntax is:
     /spamfilter [what] [type] [action] [tkltime] [reason] [regex]
     [tkltime] specifies the duration of any *lines placed by this rule.
     [reason] specifies the *line, kill and/or block reason.. no spaces
     allowed, but '_' will be escaped to a space.
     In both cases you can simply use '-' to skip and use the default.
     Ex: /spamfilter add p block - - Come watch me on my webcam
         /spamfilter add p gline 3h Please_go_to_www.viruscan.xx/
         nicepage/virus=blah Come watch me on my webcam
   - A message is now shown if the msg/notice/dcc is blocked.
   - There are 2 new spamfilter action types:
     'dccblock' will mark the user so (s)he's unable to send any files by DCC.
     'viruschan' will part the user from all channels and join
      set::spamfilter::virus-help-channel (default: #help).
      this action might be improved to do more later.
   - Internal: added EXTTKL PROTOCTL, this determinates if 10 parameters
     instead of 8 are supported for m_tkl (used by spamfilter add).
   This new system needs some testing... :)
- Fixed a bug in 'Flood from unknown connection' (#0001566).
- Rewrote a great deal of the remote include code to make it work on Windows
   due to Microsoft insanity.
- Added /tempshun, temporary shuns the current session of specified nick
   (just like the 'tempshun' in spamfilter and ban version). Suggested by
   Cnils (#0001526). [docs/help.conf will be updated later]
- Updated docs on tempshun and new spamfilter features.
- Modulized: addline, addmotd, addomotd, wallops, globops, locops, chatops,
   admin, trace.
- Removed: gnotice, goper
- Modulized: netinfo, links, help, rules, close, map, eos
- Made it compile on win32 again
- Modulized: server, stats
- Modulized: svsfline, dccdeny, undccdeny, whowas
- Modulized: connect... should be the last one till 3.2final.
- Fixed some compile warnings/problems caused by modulizing.
- Fixed a bug which prevented "/spamfilter del[..]" from working.
   Reported by Fury (#0001575).
- Moved the SQLINE system (and ban nick) to TKL and introduced "holds"
   suggested by Certus

- Improved 'viruschan' spamfilter target:
   - better msg after the forced join
   - +oaq's in set::spamfilter::virus-help-channel receive a notice about
     which filter the user matched.
   - it disables all commands except PONG, ADMIN, and msg/notices to
     set::spamfilter::virus-help-channel.
- Made snomask +S also show the spamfilter reason field.
- Added class::pingfreq checking, should be 30-600 now.. else you might
   get mysterious (mass) disconnect issues.
- Lol, I made /connect dissapear during modulizing ;).
- Added a warning if your listen portrange affects >100 ports
   (eg for idiots doing 6667-7000 which uses 333 sockets).
- Added some extra debugging for tkl update notice...
- Fixed a problem in 'tkl update': lowest expire time won instead of
   highest. Reported by Malcolm.
- Fixed a tkl update problem with sqlines
- Improved dcc blocking support (both for spamfilter and deny dcc).
- '0' tkltime in spamfilter now really means 'perm', not '*line for
   0 seconds' or something. Reported by Certus.
- Fixed a bug in individual m_*.so loading, 39 new modules were affected.
- Fixed an issue where chanmode +f was often set by the server again
   in a netjoin when there was no need to (nothing to synch).
- Added spamfilter::except which allows you to specify targets
   (eg: channels) where spamfilter should not take action. Requested by Fury
   (#0001586). Ex: set { spamfilter { except "#spamreport,#help"; }; };
- Fixed a zero-terminate bug in remote includes: urls with '?' in it could
   cause a crash, reported by Joolz (#0001587).
- Made numerics 518-520 a bit more clear by mentioning the channelname in it.
   Suggested by Zell (#0001589).
- Fixed a bug reported by Joolz that would cause problems when deleting a remote
   included file from a server (#0001587).
- Fixed a few more remote include problems on Windows

- Added 90% of RC2 release notes.
- Cosmetic doc updates (#0001596) reported by HERZ.
- Updated SSL error for underlying syscall error a bit (#0001615).
- Minor doc updates on SSL (mIRC now supports SSL a bit).
- Fixed yet another fun remote includes memory corruption crash bug due
   to curl strangeness (took me 2 hours to trace down, great!). Reported by Matridom.
- Redesigned the HOOKTYPE_PRE_LOCAL_JOIN to support return types of HOOK_DENY,
   HOOK_ALLOW, and HOOK_CONTINUE to prevent a user from joining, to immediately allow
   a user to join, and to proceed on to see if other modules will deny the user.
   Based on a suggestion by satmd (#0001604)
- Imported TRE 0.6.5 on Win32 and Linux, solves (#0001542) and (#0001564) reported
   by methos
