Another day, another release. I think this should be pretty stable, but there have been a whole lot of changes underneath the hood (to try and make things cleaner, safer, and more stable). The main visible changes between this and -alpha are the addition of a new way to format MOTDs (add colours, bold, and italics), and that we've removed the REST API!
Config Changes
motd-formattingkey added underserver, which supports MOTD formatting characters.rest-apisection removed fromserver(since we no longer support the Rest API).ws-listenkey removed fromserver(since we no longer support websocket ports).
Added
- We now support the
PROXYcommand (letting people use HAProxy to terminate TLS and similar). - We now support using escaped formatting codes in the MOTD (tl;dr easy colors, bold and italics).
Changed
- D-LINE and K-LINE code is now cleaner under the hood and less likely to crash.
- Rehashing is now safer.
- Server opers could always speak on channels, even when they shouldn't be able to. Now they aren't above the law.
Removed
- Removed the
draft/message-idscap since... it doesn't actually exist. The feature is now enabled by default when clients request thedraft/message-tags-0.2capability, as written in the Message IDs spec. - Removed websocket support (conflicted with existing larger IRCd's implementations and not used by any real clients).
- REST API has been removed, until we can build up the web interface in parallel with it.
Fixed
AWAYwas sending an incorrect mode string, and now sends the correct mode string (thanks @jwheare for pointing this out).- Fixed some bugs with our
MONITORimplementation which meant we weren't returning the right info to clients. - The Moderated (
+m) and RegisteredOnly (+R) channel modes could not be set. Now they can be set.
