The old method of doing this was:
1. Extremely inconsistently used. Some list modes used <banlist>
and some used their own config tag.
2. Not documented in the slightest. There was a small reference to
<maxbans> for the ban mode but nothing else.
3. In some cases conflicting with other config tags. The chanfilter
module defined a <chanfilter> tag for general config whilst also
using it for the max list settings.
The new <maxlist> tag avoids these issues entirely.
This requires all messages to be UTF-8. If you are using a UTF-8
incompatible text encoding then you can disable this by setting
<websocket:sendastext> to false.
- Remove the deprecated config tag checker. This checker is neither
exhaustive nor is it particularly accurate. Instead the new docs
site will contain a page detailing the breaking changes between
releases.
- Remove the insulting <die> tags in inspircd.conf.example and add
some descriptive ones in files that it is critical for the user
to edit correctly.
- Show the message from the <die> tag so the user actually knows
what they did wrong.
- Allow the ident for ident type hosts to be set in the config.
- Consistently check clone counts, connect classes, and xlines for
all users regardless of their cgiirc host type.
- Remove some obsolete code from when gateway clients had their IP
changed in OnCheckReady.
- Don't allow a gateway client to match both a WebIRC and an ident
host.
- Get rid of <host> and merge the prefix and suffix values into the
<hostchange> value.
- Remove the 'suffix' action. This has been replaced by the 'set'
action.
- Add the 'addaccount' action. This adds the users account to their
hostname.
- Use the <hostname:charmap> characters when removing invalid chars
in addnick mode.
- Allow multiple entries on each hostmask so that they can fall
through if a certain value is not acceptable.
Closes#816.
Closes#1001.
The library code used by this module is licensed under a non-free
license which is incompatible with the GPLv2. Combined with the
fact that it has been superceded by better algorithms like bcrypt
I have decided to remove it.
An alternate implementation of this algorithm is provided by the
m_hash_gnutls module if people *really* need to use it.
- Switch to a module-specific snotice character (f).
- Redo the format of the message to be easier to read and include
the filter that the user matched.
Closes#490.
Closes#841.
- Implement escapes for italic, monospace, and strikethrough.
- Use the escape codes in the example MOTDs to demonstrate their
formatting effects.
- Remove support for octal escape codes. In modern computing octal
is rarely used and is confusing for users who might confuse it
for decimal.
* Improve exemptchanops in inspircd.conf.example (<options>)
and modules.conf.example; along with both helpop examples.
* Add "the" to all "requires X module" in both helpop examples.
* Refer to customprefix instead of chanprotect and halfop.
* Add SNOMASK 'r' and 'R' (OPERLOG) to both helpop examples.
* Clean up unnecessarily split SNOMASK lines in both helpop examples.
* Move chmode 'g' to be in alphabetical order in both helpops examples.
* Specify the needed mask formats for TLINE in helpop-full example.
* Remove extra '\' in RLINE mask format in helpop-full example.
Force xml format in helpop-full
* Generalize "color codes" to "formatting codes"
* Fix file name in include for example helpop-full
