1.2.0rc4 released!

[w00t]

It's here!

Featuring nothing but further stability fixes including possible crash on rehash, rc4 is just about how we want things to be. No major problems have been reported in some time (though of course we still advocate using SVN rather than tarballs).

IMPORTANT CHANGES:

• Channel aliases now work more like user aliases. This is a BREAKING CHANGE. $1 is now the fantasy command that was invoked, $2 is the first real parameter of the command. (in other words, adjust all your numbers up by one for channel fantasy commands).
• $chan in m_fantasy will be replaced by an empty string if used in a non-channel (i.e. user) alias.
• m_ssl_oper_cert and m_ssl_dummy are both gone, and merged into m_sslinfo - so you won't have to load so many SSL modules
• m_sslinfo is no longer in extra/. There was no need for it to be there.
• DNS now resolves multiple-answer DNS queries (CNAME, A) correctly.

Thanks to danieldg, SnoFox, Namegduf, jdhore, Adam, and others for their contributions to this release.

Full changelog is attached, as always.

Full changelog:

• Patch to not increment nickchange counter for nick changes that would be blocked elsewhere, fixes bug #874. Patch by dz, but he was too slow to commit it
• Don't apply bans to E:Lined connections. Should fix bug #896.
• Check that the <connect> block actually specifies a host before checking whether the user matches it. Allows for <connect> blocks on other criteria, like ports - fixes bug #797.
• Reconnect to LDAP server if connection goes away, fixes bug #818.
• Rehash message fixes from Ankit, thanks
• Send a failure numeric instead of QuitUser when STARTTLS is used after registration, because it could be used accidentally by users. Suggested by dKingston
• Don't send out global snotices from every server on NICKUNLOCK, fixes bug #892 reported by Taros
• Use correct behavior (as per C++) for 'delete NULL' on windows; found by Adam and CyberBotX
• Remove bad check for channel op in m_auditorium, fixes bug #886
• Remove m_ssl_oper_cert and clarify how to use it in m_sslinfo. Patch by jdhore.
• Use server name for source of remote TIME rather than SID
• Fix m_callerid message routing for remote users, destination got no notice of attempted message
• Ask the user if they want to generate SSL certificates before generating one
• Fix symlink creation of openssl if both it and gnutls are selected
• Fix excessive snomask sending on fitler add/removal
• Fix double-send of SSL metadata in openssl, possible segfault in gnutls
• Updates to example configuration [by jdhore]
• Merge m_ssl_oper_cert and m_ssl_data into m_sslinfo to reduce the number of SSL modules
• Send ssl_cert metadata on signon
• Remove memory-wasting map in ssl_cert
• Migrate SSL metadata and visible information (/whois line) to single module

• Fix error reporting on rehash
• Make rehash generate a new ServerInstance->Config object
• Move list of open ports out of Config object
• Check for oper max chans before user max chans, fixes code weirdness and bug #876.
• Fix +g messages being borked with multiple servers, fixes bug #880
• Add BS/BotServ to default atheme aliases.
• Roll back mysterious DNS change from 2007 which broke multiple-answer DNS requests (CNAME, A). It looks like this was to be related to bitmask dnsbl support, but it would never have worked anyway (resultnum was always 0..).
• m_sslinfo does not depend on external libraries, it should not be in extra
• Make pkg-config failure error clearer
• Rebuild modeclasses.a when configure -update is run
• Fix incorrect attempted inline of irc::sockets::sa_size

• Improve valdebug-unattended: increase timeout to 90 seconds, and generate/use suppresions
• Backport BufferedSocket:oConnect rewrite to fix valgrind warning
• These commands do not need to be VF_COMMON
• Don't globally route SETNAME, the FNAME is sufficient. Fixes bug #875
• Makefile updates: clean up some installation assumptions

• Makefile updates: clean up command lines
• This time it's actually compile tested
• OK, it's more useful if this compiles...
• Fix unsafe iteration pattern in m_timedbans - vector::erase invalidates all iterators following the elements to be erased.
• Makefile updates: remove MAKEPROG/MAKEORDER
• Remove the ServerConfig:irValid check that breaks symlinks
• Make timestamp output in /CHECK consistent
• OnRehash changes: split to multiple hooks to clarify use and prevent explosion of rehashes on a /REHASH *
• m_dnsbl: Add default duration and error message on invalid duration
• Fix UID collision on reload of m_spanningtree.so
• Fix some incorrect STL iterations (using < end() instead of != end())
• Fix r11381 checking HideWhoisServer incorrectly
• Fix incomple memset() in irc::sockets::aptosa, add support for converting empty addresses
• Make User::ServerInstance public so that FakeUser can access it. There is no reason to make this private, really
• Hide server sources if HideWhoisServer is set, noticed by Brain
• Show correct server source to users on FTOPIC and FMODE
• Use Utils->ServerUser instead of ServerInstance->FakeClient in m_spanningtree
• Replace loopCall detection in OnUserKick with a check for the m_spanningtree fake user
• Use a FakeUser source for server-sourced commands in spanningtree
• Create subclass of User for FakeClient, to allow for use as command source
• Fix for some modules sending global snotices at each individual server in a server path.
• Translate UIDs properly in m_sakick
• Revert some files accidentally committed in r11371. I'm apparently doing a very bad job of multitasking.
• Fix an issue in r11370 spotted by danieldg
• Fix m_sakick to properly send local/global snomasks like other modules, instead of repeating a global snomask once per linked server. Found by SnoFox
• Remove handshake timer on server sockets that die before completing handshake
• Compile fix: openssl does not have an ISSL_CLOSING state, unlike gnutls
• Fix ListenSocketBase::GetPort() returning incorrect value on ports not bound to a specific address
• Fix two compile errors found by Shawn
• Set errno in openssl when handshake fails
• Remove FindDescriptor wrapper for GetRef, it doesn't do anything useful and in fact is a bit harmful in some ways as we've seen..
• Set errno properly on GnuTLS sessions that die during the SSL handshake
• m_filter: Do not attempt to filter messages from remote users
• Canonicalize bind addresses when creating listen sockets
• Fix unnecessary heap allocation on rehash: stack allocated ConfigReader is fine.
• Some general tidyup in here (also some possible desync fixes, check IS_LOCAL..), also check that the target channel exists and sender is opped before allowing +b redirects from a remote sender. Fixes bug #851, reported by SnoFox.
• (for now), comment out opercount from individual servers in XML stats. This can be addressed in a future release. Bandaid fix for bug #846, reported by SnoFox.
• Allow E:Lines to exempt targets from SHUN and RLINE. Fixes bug #852 reported by Taros.
• Change making callerid significantly less expensive for quitting large amounts of users at once. This is *not* runtime tested yet. Testnet, please update this module.
• Minor cleanup: move RemoveFromAllAccepts() to a private class method
• Globally route "a" snotices for more modules. Patch from Milliways.
• Remove commands makefile also on make distclean.
• Fix two stupid mistakes here
• Patch from eLement notifying the user who sent a NICKLOCK that the target was locked successfully, fixes bug #854.
• Remove an old debug log, and fix compile.
• Fix: Channel aliases should work a bit more like user aliases. This is a BC change: all existing channel aliases will likely be BROKEN, and will need to be changed. Like user aliases, $1 is now the fantasy command that was invoked, $2 is the first real param of the command. Reported by Namegduf.
• Replace $chan to "" for a non-channel command.
• Send rehash message to global sno, fixes bug #855. Also only send message when the rehash happens.
• Fix SILENCE command in m_silence being reported as being in m_slience_ext, noticed by SnoFox
• Fix bug found by Jeremy from Teranova, thanks: if an explicit bind to an IP is not made, don't assume all <bind> tags are for ipv6 IPs on an IPv6 compile (WTF).
• Fix m_redirect to work properly with SAMODE
• How about we make this compile?
• Normalize IPv6 addresses when producing SSL port list, fixes bug #853
• Add IP address conversion utility functions, irc::sockets::aptosa and irc::sockets::satoap
• Overloading SetMode seems to cause the compiler to interpret "" as a bool and not a string. Fixes bug #849
• Fix OnSetAway hook denying remote users' change rather than local users
• Remove sending +q from OnPostJoin, fixes bug #847. See removed comment for why it existed
• Correct 005 output of m_ssl_gnutls when used for STARTTLS with no client SSL ports configured
• Enable lag-check pings on active servers - if bandwidth waste is an issue, there should be an option to disable lag pings
• Remove lag reporting in /map from servers that do not yet have a valid value; <1ms is misleading.
• Fix OnUserRegister being triggered twice if someone sent a NICK while waiting on an ident timeout
• Fix crash from unregistered users joining a channel, discovered by Namegduf
• Addendum to previous ping patch: NextPingTime was not being set at endburst, and servers without ENDBURST were no longer being detected.
• Fix PingFlag not being set correctly for servers whose burst takes longer than PingFreq
• Abort link early when mismatched modules are detected so that the error message is more useful
• Actually use irc::modestacker correctly
• Use loopCall to protect OnUserKick rather than the triggerevents hack
• Initialize loopCall on construction
• Add loopCall to prevent double-broadcasting new X:lines
• Send snotices when m_dnsbl adds an xline; fixes bug #837
• Change a few more modules to send global a/A snotices
• Use server source for RemoveMode, fixes bug #838
• Convert m_dnsbl to send globally routed snomasks. Fixes bug #836
• Add global-routing snomask functions
• Don't send out UID for users that are quitting, because the QUIT won't be sent and they become a ghost
• Fix CullList to not use O(n^2) version of vector clear
• Fix realhost leak when users on different servers get +W notifications. Noticed by mooncup.
• Remove CullList rate limiting to fix UID collisions on large networks
• Fix memory leak on rehash: opertype used char* instead of std::string
• Fix memory leak in m_filter rehash
  Fix SetModeParam to use std::string and handle edge cases.
