Unreal3.2.2 released

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

A new 3.2* stable release is out: 3.2.2.

Since it fixes quite a few bugs, it is recommended that you upgrade.

Unreal3.2.2 Release Notes
==========================

==[ GENERAL INFORMATION ]==
- If you are upgrading on *NIX, make sure you run 'make clean' and './Config'
  first 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/
- When upgrading a network, we assume you are upgrading from the previous
  version (3.2.1). If you got a net running with servers that are several
  versions behind (eg: 3.2) then you might experience (desynch) problems.
  Also, if you try to use the new features, some might not work properly
  until all your servers are upgraded. It is therefore recommended to
  upgrade all servers in a 'short' timespan (x day[s], not weeks).

== [ NEW ]==
- set::hosts now supports the user@host format (ident)
- oper::modes: set individual modes on oper-up, overrides set::modes-on-oper
- SAPART and SVSPART reasons
- USERIP command: works just like USERHOST but displays (cloaked) IPs instead.
- Salted passwords: md5/sha1/ripemd160 passwords generated by mkpasswd are
  now 'salted' which makes some cracking techniques a lot harder.
  Additionally, 'md5' password encryption is now always available on *NIX.
- Channel aliases: Ability for alias { } blocks to send to a channel,
  useful for example for a /SPAMREPORT command.
- Added spamfilter 'user' ('u') target, this gets matched against the
  nick!user@host:realname mask of every user.
  Ex: /spamfilter add u gzline 86400 Please_go_away Drone[0-9]+!.+@.+:Drone[0-9]
  This would gzline any users that have both a nick and realname with 'Drone'
  followed by digits.
- Added spamfilter 'away' ('a') target.
- Oper-up notices moved to a new snomask 'o'
- Win32: can now handle (near) 4096 connections instead of 1024.
- French docs
- Module coders: HOOKTYPE_REMOTE_JOIN, HOOKTYPE_REMOTE_PART, HOOKTYPE_REMOTE_KICK

==[ MAJOR BUGS FIXED ]==
- Memory corruption bug in qlines
- Crash on first connect if compiled with SSL enabled on: Mac OS X, Sun
  Solaris, Opteron w/Linux, and perhaps others (non-i386).
- (quickly) rehashing + autoconnect link blocks could cause a crash
- Win32: using 100% cpu on startup in some cases [*]
- Win32: crash on windows 2003 when installing [*]
- IPv6: various nameserver fixes: hosts in link::hostname are now working,
  also resolving of hostnames of clients should now work as expected (this
  mainly affected non-BIND nameservers).
- new TRE version v0.7.0 fixes (invalid) regex crash
- Too broad regex in badword::word caused the ircd to hang
- Win32: remote include bug could cause a crash [*]

==[ MINOR BUGS FIXED ]==
- Win32: error msg producing garbage upon a module load error [*]
- bans were also affecting halfops in some cases (eg: changing of nick) which
  was incorrect. Also +b ~n also affected voiced users, this is also fixed.
- ident in vhost { } was never sent out to other servers
- Modules: HOOKTYPE_SERVER_QUIT was called twice, could have caused crashes
- Win32: Spamfilters only added on notices might not have worked all the time
- Bans on blah@IP were not always applied
- except tkl { } did not validate the ident@
- local TKLs (klines, zlines) were accidently distributed to other servers
  if someone tried to add an already-existing TKL.
- Numeric conflict of SVSWATCH and SVSJOIN
- chanmode +mu: <IRC> messages were not always properly relayed
- Resolver not working in FreeBSD jail
- Chinese/Japanese (gbk) nick code

==[ CHANGED ]==
- allow-userhost-change force-rejoin is now also applied to opers that oper
  up and receive a vhost.
- Removed * and ^ flags from /whois if PREFIX_AQ is disabled
- Using a new Makefile on *NIX so it requires less memory to compile unreal
- *NIX: 'md5' password encryption is now always available.
- Win32: 'Install as a service' is now unchecked by default
- Win32: zip/non-zip modules are now binary compatible (just like ssl/non-ssl)
- Made /whois show the usermodes to opers regardless of the eyes snomask
- Snomasks are now shown in the /whois umode output
- 005 tokens heavily updated, also modulized.
- Docs, help.conf, spamfilter.conf and other text updates
- Win32: Now using the release library msvcr70.dll [*]
- Module coders: HOOKTYPE_REMOTE_CONNECT now also gets called upon netsynch.
- Slowed down qline floods
- You can now specify multiple types in an except tkl { } block

 [*]: fix was also in the 3.2.1b win32 release

==[ CHANGELOG ]==
- Fixed a win32 module problem where file not found errors would display random characters,
  reported by STING
- Fixed a bug where the allow-userhost-change force-rejoin setting was not applied to users
  who /oper and receive an oper-host (#0001901) reported by hypnetric.
- Removed the /hs alias pointing to HelpServ for Anope since this conflicts with HostServ
  (#0001709) reported by DukePyrolator
- Fixed ban bug: halfops were also prevented from doing nickchanges if banned, plus..
  +b ~n:*!*@* also made nickchanges impossible for voiced(&halfop'ed) people (so like half
  of the purpose of it was defeated @$#&@#). Reported by Rocko.
- Fixed a bug where an ident in a vhost {} was never sent out to other servers and added
  user@host support for set::hosts (#0001834) reported/suggested by bleepy.
- Fixed defizzer module. Reported by Rocko and netrixtardis.
- Removed the * and ^ flags from /whois if PREFIX_AQ is not enabled (requested by many
people)
- Updated the /who docs to use correct English
- Added documentation for the /who and /whois flags (#0001881) reported by AngryWolf and
Bugz.
- Added src/win32/win32.c for generic win32 helper functions
- Renamed src/win32/win32gui.c to src/win32/gui.c
- Reorganized much of the Windows code
- Fixed a whois bug when PREFIX_AQ is undefined, reported by Shaun
- Moved the RTF win32 code to a seperate file
- More win32 code cleanups
- Added src/win32/editor.c (woops), (#0001932) reported by Troco
- Fixed a problem with /who incorrectly showing the ? flag to opers even when the user
should
  be visible (#0001888) reported by Bugz and aquanight
- Added SAPART and SVSPART reasons. Note, to fully work it requires all servers to upgrade,
  and due to a bug in older versions, it could cause problems if linked to 3.2 or earlier
  (#0001859) suggested by Bugz
- Fixed a minor issue where Unreal registered itself as an NT service incorrectly
  (#0001950) reported by rocafella
- Possibly fixed a bug that could cause Unreal to eat 100% CPU at startup on Windows.
  (#0001635) reported by eggburt. Thanks to STING for helping to debug this.
- Implemented a new modules Makefile written by fez (#0001930).
- Added oper::modes to specify modes to be set for a particular oper (overrides
  set::modes-on-oper), suggested by parker182 (#0001899).
- doc/example.conf now simply refers to unreal32docs.html for oper flags (#0001973)
  reported by vonitsanet and AngryWolf.
- Fixed crash-on-first-connect if SSL was enabled. This seemed to happen on Mac OS X,
  Sun Solaris, Opteron@Linux and perhaps others (#1982, #1984, #2110), reported by bit,
  lion and liverbugg.
- Fixed a bug if me::info was set to "".
- Added a missing error message for ModuleGetErrorStr. Additionally added error checking to
  ensure NULL is returned when an invalid error code is specified (#0001986) reported by
  AngryWolf.
- Applied patch from slePP for bug #0001252: if IPv6 was enabled then in some cases names
  were not properly resolved. Original bug reported by kormat.
- Fixed bugs regarding HOOKTYPE_SERVER_QUIT: was sometimes called twice and could cause
  crashes due read-after-free. Reported by SET (#0001988).
- Fixed possible crash if /rehash'ing and a servername was just resolving (due to
  /connect or autoconnect) and was not present in the cache. Reported and traced by sh0
  (#0001976).
- Fixed compile bug at *NIX caused by ModuleGetErrorStr fix.
- Improved doc/compiling_win32.txt a lot: now VC7 only, and has instructions on:
  compiling modules and their (binary) compatability, zip links (zlib), ssl (OpenSSL)...
  Remote includes (curl and c-ares) instructions still need to be added.
- Made 'Install as a service' unchecked by default, this should help beginners a lot.
- Updated doc/compiling_win32.txt again with curl build instructions.
  Also linked to a page with an unreal dev package which contains zlib+ssl+curl
  precompiled. This basically means many people no longer need to compile zlib/ssl/curl
  anymore themselves (which is a pain to do and takes a lot of time).
- Windows: the 'notice' parameter in the usermsg callback was always 0 due some windows/vc
  weirdness, this also affected spamfilter (so any spamfilters added only at notice
  and not at msg on windows would not work). Now using the real 'notice' parameter.
- unbroke spamfilter not working for msgs/notices (oops..).
- Made zip/non-zip modules on win32 binary compatible. Since it was nowhere documented
  that you should pass the ZIP_LINKS etc options to 'nmake -f makefile.win32 custommodule'
  many people didn't do this which caused odd problems when reading certain clientstructs.
  Module coders: in the meantime, for 3.2.1 mods, use something like:
  nmake -f makefile.win32 USE_ZIPLINKS=1 ZLIB_INC_DIR="c:\dev\zlib"
   ZLIB_LIB_DIR="c:\dev\zlib\dll32" custommodule MODULEFILE=m_mymodule
  For 3.2.2+ these additional parameters will no longer be needed (but wouldn't harm either).
- Some doc/example.conf clarifications, mainly for modules @ win32.
- Made /whois show the user's modes to opers regardless of +e
- Added snomask to the /whois umode output
- Added a patch by rocafella to fix a crash when installing Unreal on Win2003 (#0001949).
- Moved the Command API functions to a separate file.
- Redesigned the 005 token:
  - Now renamed to RPL_ISUPPORT.
  - Replaced KNOCK and MAP tokens with new CMDS token (see doc/technical/005.txt)
  - Implemented most tokens from the isupport draft (STATUSMSG, EXCEPTS, CHANLIMIT,
    CHANNELLEN, MAXLIST).
  - Removed MAXBANS.
  - Made the isupport system dynamic and provide an API for modules to add tokens, may need
    testing.
  - Added an M_ANNOUNCE flag for CommandAdd to add the command to the CMDS token, may need
    testing.
- Fixed some compile warnings.
- Fixed a bug where bans were not matched against IPs in all circumstances (#0002045)
  reported by heper.
- Fixed a bug with IP based except tkl {} lines did not validate the ident portion of
the mask
  (#0002049) reported by Rocko.
- Fixed a problem where a local TKL could be sent to remote servers when it is being changed
  (#0002048) reported by AngryWolf.
- Added documentation for link::ciphers to unreal32docs.html (#0002019) reported by Bugz.
- Updated documentation to reflect that cmode +M allows voiced users to talk, not just
  registered users (#0002020) reported by crazy.
- Made it so WATCH will not respond with an erroneous reply if the parameter was simply
+ or -
  (#0002017) reported by GouraudShading.
- SVSO now removes +v (#0002023) reported by w00t and aquanight.
- Exported the isupport functions for use in Windows modules.
- Added a new snomask, +o to show oper-up notices (oper only), (#0001965) suggested by
  vonitsanet.
- Added a /userip command that works just like ircu's.
- Fixed a typo in the *nix Makefile reported by Troco (#0002059)
- Added french docs, translated by Kolibot & Babass.
- Changed some stuff to use the release version of MS libraries.
- Updated installer for msvcr70.dll
- Fixed prefix bug caused by previous 'fix'/behavior change. Reported by aquanight
(#0002067).
- Updated doc/technical/token.txt and resolved 2 token conflicts. SVSWATCH is now Sw and
  SVSJOIN is now BX (#0002073) reported by trystanscott.
- Fixed a bug regarding chanmode +mu where the <IRC> messages were not properly relayed
  to all servers. Reported by Aenox (#0002079).
- Added salted passwords. Salts are useful because it "protects" against stored-plaintext
  attacks (eg: rainbow) and prevents cracking of several passwords at once.
  This change means /MKPASSWD will now just generate a different string than before.
  Do note however, that the old syntax/encrypted passwords will still work and _will continue
  to work_ in the future, for at least the whole 3.2* series.
  If you are concerned with security and have some time, then converting your passwords
  is probably a good idea... Just in case your configuration file gets stolen one day ;).
- MD5 password encryption is now always available on *NIX, even if SSL is disabled.
- Temporary fix for ircsprintf %lu 1..6 issue.
- Fixed a problem with +u for some clients that have a strict interpretation of the RFC.
- Added TRE 0.7.0, fixes #0001952 reported by Praetorian
- Fixed an (unimportant) cloak typo / made it a few nanosec faster. Reported by Martin
Brulisauer.
- Fixed resolver not working in FreeBSD jail, reported & patch provided by urkel (#0002097).
- Added a %n specifier to command aliases that is replaced by the user's nickname,
  requested by many people.
- Added the ability for an alias {} to send to a channel (#0001686) requested by JasonTik
  - As a result, alias[::format]::nick is now called alias[::format]::target to avoid
    confusion. ::nick is maintained for backwards compatibility.
- Fixed a problem where IsupportAdd did not return a value.
- Module coders: Added HOOKTYPE_REMOTE_JOIN, HOOKTYPE_REMOTE_PART, HOOKTYPE_REMOTE_KICK (all
  work just the same as the HOOKTYPE_LOCAL_* variants).
- Module coders: HOOKTYPE_REMOTE_CONNECT is now also called during net-merge. You can use
  IsSynched(sptr->srvptr) to find out if it's called due to a net merge (0) or a connect (1).
- Added spamfiler 'user' (u) target. This regex is checked against nick!user@host:realname
  when a user connects. This makes it easy to ban drones with simple patterns.
  For example: '/spamfilter add u gzline 86400 Drone[0-9]+!.+@.+:Drone[0-9]'
  would kill any drones that have both a nick and realname with 'Drone' followed by digits.
- If a nick is qlined, the user is now lagged up to limit qline floods a bit (#0001335).
- Made docs a bit more clear on spamfilter targettypes.
- Fix for too broad regex in badword::word causing the IRCd to hang, reported by Flop
  (#0002101).
- IPv6: Fixed hostnames in link::hostname not working, reported by Jasmin (#0001990).
- Fixed OOB read/write on user quit (did no harm on Linux&FreeBSD).
- Fixed some tiny memory leaks (~100 bytes) on rehash.
- Updated chinese&japanese GBK nick code, fix supplied by Xuefer (#0002051).
- Added release notes (unfinished).
- Added file: include/macros.h and a new macro, ARRAY_SIZEOF.
- Added the ability to specify multiple types in a tkl except, suggested by Bugz (#0002085).
- Added spamfilter 'away' ('a') target (#0002057).
- Fixed a qline duplicate msg bug I think
- Windows version can now hold ~4096 connections instead of ~1024
- help.conf: clarified MKPASSWD documentation, reported by hypnetric (#0001926).
- Some modeskip handling for future versions
- Fixed serious heap corruption bug if remote users were using qlined nicks, thanks to
  Gilou and Trankill for making me able to trace this issue down (#0002032).
- Fixed qline notices again: now gives msg #1 for local qlined-nick attempts, and
  another msg in case of a remote client (eg: oper) using a qlined nick.
- Added some future SJOIN skip stuff.
- Updated version to 3.2.2-pre1 already.
** internal 3.2.2-pre1 release **
- Fixed some doc & release notes typos. Reported by Rocko, HiT.
- French doc updates, hopefully synched now.
- (revert of badsyntax fix)
- Forgot to mention away spamfilter target in helpop, reported by Rocko.
