ergochat/ergo v0.7.0

ChanServ, Logs, and Stability

on GitHub

This release brings channel registration with ChanServ, logging improvements, and a whole host of improvements across the board.

Thanks to a suggestion by dp- on our channel (#oragono on Freenode), the socket handling code has been overhauled to allow for a larger number of more stable connections. As well, improved testing has brought with it a bunch of strange hang and crash fixes, which means that Oragono should be more stable than ever.

Channel registration is really cool. Essentially, you register the channel with /CS REGISTER as you would on any network, and then all topic changes, the +b/+e/+I lists, and your founder status, are all remembered and re-applied when the server's restarted.

Config Changes

• channels section added to control channel registration.
• logging key under server removed, replaced with logging section.
• max-sendq key added under server.
• registration and authentication-enabled keys moved under accounts section.
• samode capability added to oper capabilities.
• sts section added under server.

Added

• Added ChanServ service, to allow channel registration.
• Added USERHOST command (thanks @vegax87).
• Added SAMODE command.
• Added draft IRCv3 capability draft/sts.

Changed

• DLINE and KLINE now let you specify years, months and days (e.g. 1y12m30d) in durations.
• Logging is now much more useful, displays colours and can log to disk.
• Socket handling has been rewritten, which means we should support more connections more effectively (thanks dp- for the suggestion!).

Fixed

• Fixed a bunch of small hangs and crashes.
• Fixed an account issue where clients could login to multiple accounts at once.
• Fixed an issue where server times were incorrect (thanks @martinlindhe!).
• Fixed halfops not being able to talk during moderated mode (+m).
• Fixed issues that prevented rehashing after the first rehash had gone through successfully.
• Fixed the inability to view channel ban, ban exception, and invite exception lists.
