The following reply was made to PR ports/177506; it has been noted by GNATS. From: JR Aquino <tanawts@gmail.com> To: bug-followup@freebsd.org, Jr Aquino <tanawts@gmail.com>, lippe@freebsd.org Cc: Subject: Re: ports/177506: irc/unreal: Update UnrealIRCD to 3.2.10.1 Date: Sat, 10 Aug 2013 11:02:55 -0700 --001a11c1ba4a59867e04e39bb3e2 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Unreal3.2.10.1 Release Notes ============================= ==[ GENERAL INFORMATION ]== - If you are upgrading on *NIX, then make sure you run 'make clean' and './Config' first, before running '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/ - The purpose of the sections below (NEW, CHANGED, MINOR, etc) is to be a SUMMARY of the changes in this release. There have been 79 changes in total, for the full list of changes see the Changelog. ==[ .1 RELEASE]== The following bugs in version 3.2.10 were fixed in this 3.2.10.1 release: - Windows only: outgoing connects from Windows caused severe linking issues, including killing of (ghost) users on the Windows server. - An issue where user modes were stripped from remote clients, this caused a problem for Anope BotServ bots. - A compile problem on OpenBSD. - '/REHASH -global' did not rehash all servers. - Some documentation updates. These were the only changes in 3.2.10.1. Below is a summary of all changes with respect to 3.2.9: ==[ NEW ]== - Improved socket engine. This brings some performance improvements and also makes it easier to configure a system to hold more than 1024 clients (no more editing of header files on Linux!). - ESVID support: services can communicate the account name of the user back to the IRCd. This only works on ESVID-capable services: - Extban ~a:<accountname>: matches users who are logged in to services with that account name. - Show account name in /WHOIS - CAP support: this enables clients to enable certain features more easily. Can be disabled through set::options::disable-cap. - Now that STARTTLS is advertised in CAP it is likely to be used more often. - away-notify: informs clients of AWAY state changes of users on the same channels, for clients that support this. - account-notify: similar to away-notify, inform clients of changes in the login status and account name used by other clients on the same channels. - SASL support. To use this, and if your services support this, you point set::sasl-server to your services server. - Server-side MLOCK support: the IRCd will prevent channel mode changes depending on the MLOCK setting in services. Requires special support from services for this feature. - User Mode +I (IRCOp only): hide idle time - auth-method 'sslclientcertfp': authenticate users using an SSL client certificate by the SHA256 fingerprint of that certificate. The documentation has a new section (3.19) called 'Authentication Types' which contains an (improved) example of how to use SSL client certificate authentication instead of regular passwords. - oper::require-modes: an optional setting, which can be used to require users to have certain user modes (such as 'z') before they can /OPER up. - allow/deny channel: you can now optionally specify a class here as an extra filter. - doc/example.es.conf: Spanish translation of example configuration file. - There have also been some behavior changes, which can be considered NEW, see next section (CHANGED). ==[ CHANGED ]== - Anti-spoof protection (ping cookies) can now be enabled/disabled at run-time through set::ping-cookie [yes|no]. The default is 'yes' (enabled). - A quit with 'Ping timeout' now shows the number of seconds since the ping. - Print out a warning if we can't write to a log file. - Refuse to boot if we can't write to ANY log file. - Windows: if an SSL certificate exists, then uncheck the 'generate SSL certificate' checkbox by default. - *NIX with SSL: We now ask in ./Config if you want to generate an SSL certificate. The certificate is then copied when you run 'make install'. ==[ MAJOR BUGS FIXED ]== - Windows SSL crash (this issue was already fixed in 3.2.9-SSL-fix) - Other than that, none? ==[ MINOR BUGS FIXED ]== - Various compile problems, in particular with remote includes enabled. - Windows: the installer sometimes insisted that the Visual C++ 2008 redistributable package was not installed, when it actually was there. - Windows: MOTD file date/time was always showing up as 1/1/1970. - And more... see Changelog ==[ REMOVED / DROPPED ]== - Windows 9X is no longer supported - The networks/ directory has been removed ==[ KNOWN ISSUES ]== - Regexes: Be careful with backreferences (\1, etc), certain regexes can slow the IRCd down considerably and even bring it to a near-halt. In the spamfilter user target it's usually safe though. Slow spamfilter detection can help prevent the slowdown/freeze, but might not work in worst-case scenario's. - Regexes: Possessive quantifiers such as, for example, "++" (not to be confused with "+") are not safe to use, they can easily freeze the IRCd. ==[ ADDITIONAL INFO ]== - See Changelog for more details On Sat, Aug 10, 2013 at 10:55 AM, JR Aquino <tanawts@gmail.com> wrote: > Here is the final corrected patch.
