2 * ircd/s_conf.c: start adding code for new conf data structs, changed
3 listeners, admin line, motd lines, class lines. Move validate_hostent
4 to resolver. General mayhem.
5 * include/s_conf.h: new data structs and accessors
6 * ircd/res.c: move validate_hostent here, rewrite, use regular
7 expression for validation.
8 * doc/example.conf: update docs for port
10 2000-09-14 Thomas Helvey <helveytw@home.com>
11 * ircd/s_conf.c (conf_init): rewrite conf file parser, start to break
12 up conf_init into managable chunks.
13 * ircd/listener.c (set_listener_mask): fix logic bug core dump.
14 * include/s_conf.h: add new data struct for local info (unwinding the mess).
16 2000-09-13 Thomas Helvey <helveytw@home.com>
17 * ircd/list.c: put Clients in free lists, pre-allocate MAXCONNECTIONS
19 * ircd/list.c: put SLinks in free lists
20 * ircd/channel.c: put Memberships in free lists
21 * ircd/ircd.c: rearrange initializations a bit in main
22 Note: With these changes, ircd NEVER frees Clients, SLinks or
23 Memberships. It will also rarely need to allocate new
24 ones during net bursts and other disruptions. This should
25 cut down on memory fragmentation a bit as well.
27 2000-08-30 Kevin L. Mitchell <klmitch@mit.edu>
29 * ircd/m_names.c (do_names): pull-up from do_names fix in
32 2000-07-15 Perry Lorier <Isomer@coders.net>
33 * various: IP only k:'s and G:'s now do bit tests instead of two(!)
34 match()'s. Major Major cpu savings. Also speed up the
35 other case slightly. As a side effect you can now
36 k/Gline *@10.0.0.0/8. I'll do bans tomorrow, it's nearing
39 2000-07-15 Perry Lorier <Isomer@coders.net>
40 * various: Fixed warnings after compiling on an alpha.
41 2000-07-09 Perry Lorier <Isomer@coders.net>
42 * doc/ircd.8: Applied grammitical changes by Liandrin, applied
43 changes suggested by various other people.
44 * ircd/IPcheck.c: More bug fixes. Current problem appears to be
45 that it gets a corrupt entry somehow.
46 2000-07-09 Greg Sikorski <gte@atomicrevs.demon.co.uk>
47 * ircd/m_oper.c: Clean up compiler warning.
49 2000-07-08 Perry Lorier <Isomer@coders.net>
50 * doc/ircd.8: Updated the documentation, it was slightly out of date
51 being updated around 1989.
52 * ircd/m_whois.c: Rewrote for clarity, and probably a bit more speed.
53 fixed a few minor glitches.

70 single AND double digit limits are allowed now.
71 * misc other: Changes to IPcheck.
73 2000-06-30 Perry Lorier <Isomer@coders.net>
74 * ircd/ircd.c: Fix command line parameter bugs.
76 2000-06-30 Perry Lorier <Isomer@coders.net>
77 * ircd/m_kill.c: Fixed bug with LOCAL_KILL_ONLY
78 * ircd/m_nick.c: Tidied things up.
80 2000-06-12 Joseph Bongaarts <foxxe@trms.com>
81 * ircd/m_stats.c: Iso forgot mo_stats when he added /stats v

84 * ircd/m_stats.c: add /stats v to do only the last part of the /trace
85 * ircd/IPcheck.c: Cosmetic change, if we meddle with it enough do
86 you think it'll get bored and fix itself?
88 2000-06-09 Greg Sikorski <gte@atomicrevs.demon.co.uk>
90 * ircd/m_names.c: Clean up compiler warnings.
92 2000-06-09 Kevin L. Mitchell <klmitch@mit.edu>
94 * ircd/channel.c (mode_parse_client): don't send warning if
95 there's not enough arguments for a +/-o/v; means the habit of
96 doing "/mode #channel +oooooo bob" doesn't result in a bunch of
99 2000-06-04 Greg Sikorski <gte@atomicrevs.demon.co.uk>
101 * ircd/m_names.c: Re-factor code to remove unneccessary
102 GlobalChannelList iteration every time someone joins a channel.
104 2000-06-02 Kevin L. Mitchell <klmitch@mit.edu>
106 * ircd/s_user.c: add struct Gline * argument to register_user;
107 look up global glines and repropagate them if necessary; send
108 acknowledgement of gline to remote servers when registering users
110 * ircd/s_serv.c (server_estab): don't send acknowledgement of
111 local glines to remote servers; do send gline acknowledgement of
114 * ircd/m_user.c (m_user): pass new struct Gline * argument to
117 * ircd/m_pong.c: pass new struct Gline * argument to register_user
119 * ircd/m_nick.c (ms_nick): document protocol change
121 * ircd/gline.c: support GLINE_LASTMOD
123 * include/s_user.h: add struct Gline * argument to register_user
125 * include/gline.h: add GLINE_LASTMOD to look up non-zero lastmods
127 * ircd/s_conf.c (find_kill): add unsigned int argument to
130 * ircd/gline.c: add GLINE_GLOBAL to lookup or find only global
131 glines; add unsigned int argument to gline_lookup()
133 * include/gline.h: add GLINE_GLOBAL flag; add unsigned int
134 argument to gline_lookup()
136 * ircd/m_server.c: Resend jupe only when there is no %<lastmod>
137 parameter, or when it falls out of bounds: see comments prior to
138 call to jupe_resend(); call server_estab with struct Jupe
139 parameter, so that we place the appropriate %<lastmod> in the
142 * ircd/s_serv.c (server_estab): send %<lastmod> for introduced
143 server, as well as for servers when we're sending the BURST
145 * include/s_serv.h: add a struct Jupe * to the arguments for
146 server_estab() so that we can send the appropriate lastmod
149 * ircd/m_gline.c (ms_gline): actually, this should be the
150 slightest bit more efficient...
152 * ircd/m_jupe.c (ms_jupe): actually, this should be the slightest
153 bit more efficient...
155 * ircd/m_gline.c (ms_gline): inhibit GLINE processing resends
158 * ircd/m_jupe.c (ms_jupe): inhibit JUPE processing resends during

173 2000-05-04 Kevin L. Mitchell <klmitch@mit.edu>
175 * ircd/channel.c: replace bogus assertions with returns, which is
176 logically correct; only wipe out limit/key if they were originally
177 set in the first place; remove user from channel when doing a
178 PARTALL; only send MODE +o for user CREATEing channel if user is
179 not MyUser--CREATE will only be used if the channel did not
180 originally exist, therefore we can assume no one local is on the
181 channel anyway, and we don't exactly need for the user to see an
182 explicit +o for themselves
184 * doc/readme.gline: describe the syntax of the GLINE command
186 * doc/readme.jupe: update to reflect a couple of changes to JUPE

208 sendto_opmask_butone calls
210 2000-05-03 Kevin L. Mitchell <klmitch@mit.edu>
212 * ircd/channel.c: support a couple of new flags to support using
213 mode_parse; fix some bugs with 0 struct ModeBuf *; implementation
214 of modebuf_extract to extract added flags for use by ms_burst
216 * include/channel.h: a couple of new flags to support using
217 mode_parse inside ms_burst
219 * ircd/m_burst.c (ms_burst): brand new implementation of BURST
221 * ircd/m_endburst.c: add loop to processing of end_of_burst to
222 free empty channels after the BURST is over.
224 * ircd/m_server.c: convert to use new send.c functions--I wanted
225 to rewrite it from scratch, but the logic's pretty complex; I may
226 still rewrite it, though...
228 2000-05-02 Thomas Helvey <tomh@inxpress.net>
230 * ircd/ircd.c: fix broken header include ordering
232 2000-05-02 Thomas Helvey <tomh@inxpress.net>
234 * ircd/IPcheck.c: cleanups for ZenShadow's cleanups
235 review emailed privately
237 * include/IPcheck.h: removed unneeded include

241 * ircd/s_user.c (hunt_server): throw in a comment so I know what
242 the sendto_one is for
244 * include/querycmds.h (Count_unknownbecomesclient): convert to
247 * ircd/send.c: start removing dead code
249 * include/send.h: start removing dead code
251 * ircd/m_rping.c: convert to sendcmdto_one / send_reply /
254 * ircd/m_rpong.c: convert to sendcmdto_one / send_reply
256 2000-05-01 Kevin L. Mitchell <klmitch@mit.edu>
258 * ircd/m_stats.c: convert to sendcmdto_one / send_reply
260 * ircd/m_kick.c: Completely reimplement m_kick
262 * ircd/channel.c: send_user_joins removed; it was dead code,
265 2000-05-01 Perry Lorier <isomer@coders.net>
266 * ircd/m_invite.c: Fix for the rest of m_invite.c, and again.
267 * ircd/channels.c: My fix for the part problem. Untested, probably
268 won't work. Can't be much worse than the current problem.
269 it'll either work or core, take your pick.
272 2000-04-30 Perry Lorier <isomer@coders.net>
273 * config/config-sh.in: Fix for CONNEXIT
274 * ircd/s_{user,misc}.c: Fix for CONNEXIT
275 * ircd/m_invite.c: Fix for incorrectly numnickified invite.

310 - Removed IPcheck.h include
312 * Additionally modified IPcheck API calls in:

484 * ircd/s_user.c (hunt_server_cmd): new hunt_server replacement
485 that takes cmd and tok arguments, etc. NOTE: THIS IMPLEMENTATION
486 HAS A MAJOR HACK!!! The whole hunt_server architecture should be
487 carefully rethought...
489 * ircd/s_stats.c (hunt_stats): use new hunt_server_cmd
491 * include/s_user.h: hunt_server_cmd -- replacement for hunt_server
493 * ircd/s_misc.c: *sigh* 2.10.10 doesn't support squitting by
494 numeric nick; therefore, we have to use the server name
496 * ircd/m_squit.c (ms_squit): allow to squit by server numeric nick
498 * ircd/send.c: fix minor bugs
500 * ircd/s_user.c (check_target_limit): mark dead code so I filter

515 * ircd/channel.c: mark dead code so I filter it when I grep
517 * ircd/s_stats.c: use send_reply instead of sendto_one w/rpl_str;
518 hope I'm not stepping on toes...
520 * ircd/s_conf.c: more sendto_opmask_butone / send_reply
521 conversions; use ircd_snprintf in a couple of cases to negate the
522 possibility of buffer overflow
524 2000-04-26 Kevin L. Mitchell <klmitch@mit.edu>
526 * ircd/channel.c: convert as much as possible to new send
529 * ircd/send.c (sendcmdto_common_channels): fix a subtle bug --
530 test member->user->from->fd, not from->fd
532 * ircd/gline.c (gline_add): go ahead and add badchans; we just
533 won't look for them in m_gline; this way, they always work...
535 * ircd/jupe.c: use ircd_vsnprintf conversion specifiers
537 * ircd/gline.c: since write_log now uses ircd_vsnprintf, use
538 ircd_vsnprintf conversion specifiers
540 * ircd/support.c (write_log): use ircd_vsnprintf for write_log, so
541 I have my conversion specifiers
543 * ircd/gline.c (do_gline): use send_reply for ERR_YOUREBANNEDCREEP

569 * ircd/ircd_reply.c (send_reply): support RPL_EXPLICIT
571 * include/ircd_reply.h (RPL_EXPLICIT): somewhat of a hack to mark
572 a numeric as needing to use an explicit pattern, which will be the
573 first argument in the variable argument list
575 * ircd/s_user.c: use sendrawto_one instead of sendto_one to send
576 non-prefixed nospoof PING
578 * ircd/s_bsd.c: use sendrawto_one instead of sendto_one to send
579 non-prefixed SERVER login
581 * ircd/ircd.c (check_pings): fix last sendto_one calls (except for
582 a numeric usage further up)
584 * include/send.h: declare sendrawto_one
586 * ircd/send.c (sendrawto_one): new function to use ONLY for
587 non-prefixed commands, like PING to client, or PASS/SERVER on
590 2000-04-25 Kevin L. Mitchell <klmitch@mit.edu>
592 * ircd/ircd_snprintf.c (doprintf): implement %H for possible
593 future expansion (channel numerics?)
595 * include/ircd_snprintf.h: added documentation to # to explain use
596 with %C; added documentation for : to explain use with %C; added
597 documentation for %H for channels
599 * ircd/whocmds.c: use send_reply
601 * ircd/userload.c: use sendcmdto_one
603 * ircd/uping.c: use sendcmdto_one
605 * ircd/send.c: use new flags to %C format string; ':' prefixes
606 client name with a colon for local connects, '#' uses
607 nick!user@host form for local connects
609 * ircd/s_user.c: use send_reply, sendto_opmask_butone,
610 sendcmdto_one, sendcmdto_serv_butone, sendcmdto_flag_butone

617 * ircd/s_auth.c: use sendto_opmask_butone
619 * ircd/res.c: use sendcmdto_one
621 * ircd/ircd_snprintf.c (doprintf): minor bug fixes and some
624 2000-04-24 Kevin L. Mitchell <klmitch@mit.edu>
626 * ircd/support.c: dumpcore is no longer used, so get rid of it
628 * ircd/parse.c: use send_reply, sendcmdto_one
630 * ircd/map.c: use send_reply
632 * ircd/listener.c: use send_reply
634 * ircd/jupe.c: use sendto_opmask_butone, send_reply
636 * ircd/ircd_reply.c: use send_reply
638 * ircd/ircd.c: use sendto_opmask_butone
640 * ircd/gline.c: use sendto_opmask_butone, send_reply
642 * ircd/ircd_snprintf.c (doprintf): make it deal with incompletely
643 registered clients; make FLAG_ALT print nick!user@host; make
644 FLAG_COLON print :blah
646 * ircd/class.c (report_classes): use send_reply instead of
649 * ircd/hash.c (m_hash): replace sendto_one with sendcmdto_one
651 * ircd/IPcheck.c (ip_registry_connect_succeeded): replace
652 sendto_one with sendcmdto_one
654 2000-04-21 Kevin L. Mitchell <klmitch@mit.edu>
656 * ircd/send.c: clean up logic in sendcmdto_channel_butone; use
657 MyConnect() instead of IsServer() in sendcmdto_flag_butone; define
658 sendcmdto_match_butone
660 * include/send.h: declare sendcmdto_match_butone
662 2000-04-20 Kevin L. Mitchell <klmitch@mit.edu>
664 * ircd/jupe.c: update to use send_reply()
666 * ircd/gline.c: update to use send_reply()
668 * include/ircd_reply.h: declare send_reply
670 * ircd/ircd_reply.c (send_reply): send_error_to_client, but for
671 replies; uses ircd_snprintf
673 * ircd/send.c: added comments to redirect searchers to appropriate
674 sendcmdto_* function; moved new functions to end of file; added
675 explanatory comments; reordered arguments; defined new functions
678 * ircd/m_jupe.c: reorder arguments to sendcmdto_* functions
680 * ircd/m_gline.c: reorder arguments to sendcmdto_* functions
682 * ircd/jupe.c: reorder arguments to sendcmdto_* functions
684 * ircd/gline.c: reorder arguments to sendcmdto_* functions
686 * include/send.h: reorder arguments, add explanatory comments,
687 declare new functions sendcmdto_flag_butone, sendto_opmask_butone,
688 and vsendto_opmask_butone
690 2000-04-19 Kevin L. Mitchell <klmitch@mit.edu>
692 * ircd/send.c: define sendcmdto_channel_butone, wrote a simplified
693 vsendto_op_mask that uses '*' instead of the receiving client
696 * include/send.h: declare sendcmdto_channel_butone; takes a skip
697 argument that allows you to skip (or not to skip) deaf users,
698 users behind bursting servers, and non channel operators
700 2000-04-17 Kevin L. Mitchell <klmitch@mit.edu>
702 * ircd/send.c: new sendcmdto_channel_butserv -- note that old
703 sendto_channel_butserv has a subtle bug; also wrote
704 sendcmdto_common_channels.
706 * include/send.h: declare new sendcmdto_* functions
708 * ircd/jupe.c: support local deactivations of jupes
710 * ircd/gline.c: support local deactivations of glines
712 * include/jupe.h: JUPE_LDEACT allows jupes to be locally
713 deactivated; if they aren't locally deactivated, then it slaves to
714 the net-wide activation status; JupeIsRemActive() tests only
715 whether the jupe is active everywhere else
717 * include/gline.h: GLINE_LDEACT allows glines to be locally
718 deactivated; if they aren't locally deactivated, then it slaves to
719 the net-wide activation status; GlineIsRemActive() tests only
720 whether the gline is active everywhere else
722 * ircd/gline.c: detect overlapping G-lines; if an existing, wider
723 gline expires after the new one will, we drop the new one,
724 otherwise we add the G-line after that one (so the wide one will
725 apply first); if the new one contains an existing G-line and if it
726 will expire after the existing one, we drop the existing one to
729 * ircd/m_gline.c (mo_gline): opers could issue remote local
730 glines when CONFIG_OPERCMDS was off; fixed
732 2000-04-16 Kevin L. Mitchell <klmitch@mit.edu>
734 * ircd/m_jupe.c (mo_jupe): allow target argument to be dropped if
737 * ircd/gline.c: add flags argument to gline_activate and
738 gline_deactivate for future expansion
740 * ircd/m_gline.c: pass flags to gline_activate and
743 * include/gline.h: add flags argument to gline_activate and
746 * ircd/jupe.c: add flags argument to jupe_activate and
747 jupe_deactivate for future expansion
749 * include/jupe.h: add flags argument to jupe_activate and
752 * ircd/m_jupe.c: pass a flags argument to jupe_add instead of
753 local, active; pass flags to jupe_activate and jupe_deactivate
755 * include/gline.h: remove dead code
757 * ircd/gline.c: make gline expire times relative to CurrentTime,
758 since that should be monotonically increasing, instead of
759 TStime(), which can be set backwards, and which can therefore
760 cause an expire time to increase; make local glines be removed
761 instead of just deactivated; don't let gline_find() look for
762 user@host glines if the mask being looked up is a channel mask
764 * ircd/send.c (vsendcmdto_one): forgot to account for the case
765 where origin is a server and destination is a user
767 * ircd/jupe.c: make jupe expire times relative to CurrentTime,
768 since that should be monotonically increasing, instead of
769 TStime(), which can be set backwards, and which can therefore
770 cause an expire time to increase; make local jupes be removed
771 instead of just deactivated
773 * ircd/ircd_snprintf.c: d'oh, thanks for catching that; short for
774 limit is fine. any other warnings I should know about?
776 2000-04-15 Thomas Helvey <tomh@inxpress.net>
778 * ircd/*.c: const correctness and type safety cleanups to
779 get code to compile with C++ compiler. Still has
780 signed/unsigned comparison warnings.
782 2000-04-15 Greg Sikorski <gte@atomicrevs.demon.co.uk>
784 * ircd/userload.c: change <sys/time.h> include to <time.h> for
787 2000-04-14 Kevin L. Mitchell <klmitch@mit.edu>
789 * ircd/m_gline.c (mo_gline): d'oh, target isn't a numeric; use %C
792 * ircd/s_user.c: move gline_lookup function call into
793 register_user, where it'll have a username to lookup!
795 * ircd/m_gline.c: modify to utilize new sendcmdto_* series of
796 functions; also stuff send_error_to_client into return clauses
798 * ircd/m_jupe.c: modify to utilize new sendcmdto_* series of
799 functions; also use send_error_to_client where that makes sense
801 * ircd/jupe.c: modify to utilize new sendcmdto_* series of
802 functions; also use send_error_to_client where that makes sense
804 * ircd/gline.c: modify to utilize new sendcmdto_* series of
805 functions; also fix gline_lookup() to deal properly with remote
806 clients--boy, do struct Client and struct User need to be cleaned
809 * ircd/ircd_snprintf.c (doprintf): a dest of &me is a server,
812 * ircd/send.c: wrote sendcmdto_one(), vsendcmdto_one(), and
813 sendcmdto_serv_butone(), all utilizing the %v conversion of
816 * include/send.h: define IRC_BUFSIZE, max size of a message;
817 declare sendcmdto_one(), vsendcmdto_one(), and
818 sendcmdto_serv_butone()
820 * include/msg.h: define all the CMD_* constants needed to utilize
821 the new sendcmdto_* series of functions
823 * ircd/Makefile.in (SRC): list ircd_snprintf.c; run make depend
825 * ircd/gline.c: remove old, dead code.
827 * ircd/m_gline.c (mo_gline): disallow setting of global G-lines
828 unless CONFIG_OPERCMDS is enabled; disallow listing of all G-lines
829 (don't advertise proxies); remove dead code
831 * ircd/parse.c: oper handler for JUPE only lists jupes unless
832 CONFIG_OPERCMDS is enabled
834 * ircd/m_jupe.c (mo_jupe): don't compile mo_jupe() if
835 CONFIG_OPERCMDS is not enabled; we'll disable it in parse.c
837 * ircd/m_opmode.c (mo_opmode): if CONFIG_OPERCMDS is not enabled,
838 always return ERR_DISABLED
840 * ircd/m_clearmode.c (mo_clearmode): if CONFIG_OPERCMDS is not
841 enabled, always return ERR_DISABLED
843 * ircd/s_err.c: add error message to indicate disabled commands

847 * doc/Configure.help: add documentation for CONFIG_OPERCMDS
849 * config/config-sh.in: add CONFIG_OPERCMDS, default both it and
850 CONFIG_NEW_MODE to 'y' for now
852 * ircd/gline.c (gline_list): fix a minor formatting bogon
854 * BUGS: since I fixed that bug, might as well mark it fixed.
856 * ircd/m_join.c: look up badchans with GLINE_EXACT
858 * ircd/m_gline.c: fix parc count problems; look up existing
859 G-lines with GLINE_EXACT; only set new lastmod when
860 activating/deactivating existing glines if old lastmod was not 0
862 * ircd/gline.c: forgot to copy the gline reason over; don't
863 propagate a gline with 0 lastmod if origin is user; add
864 GLINE_EXACT to force exact matching of gline mask
866 * ircd/ircd_snprintf.c (doprintf): forgot to deal with the zero
869 * ircd/s_conf.c (find_kill): gline_find() takes a char *userhost,
870 but gline_lookup() actually takes a client--d'oh.
872 2000-04-13 Thomas Helvey <tomh@inxpress.net>
873 * ircd/IPcheck.c: Back port BLMet's bugfix from 2.10.10

888 too, for ircd_snprintf.c
890 * include/ircd_snprintf.h: documentation for ircd_(v)snprintf, in
891 comments; mostly descended from the Linux manpage for printf, but
892 also documenting the extensions.
894 * ircd/ircd_snprintf.c: NULL dest is equivalent to going to a
895 client; make 'q' be the same as 'L'; remove __inline__; only
896 define EXTENSION if HAVE_LONG_LONG is defined
898 * include/handlers.h: declare m_gline()
900 * ircd/parse.c: gline can be called by users, but it only lists
903 * ircd/s_user.c (set_nick_name): resend gline if a remote server
904 introduces a glined client
906 * ircd/s_serv.c (server_estab): burst glines, too

929 2000-04-12 Kevin L. Mitchell <klmitch@mit.edu>
931 * ircd/s_conf.c (find_kill): replaced call to find_gline() with a
932 call to gline_find(); also used GlineReason() instead of direct
933 reference to structure member

1027 * ircd/whocmds.c, /doc/readme.who: Added %l specifier to get idle
1028 time for local clients. (as requested), extended who now returns all
1029 the flags (@+!) so you can tell the complete state of a client.

1133 MODE -v : Not enough parameters
1135 * ircd/m_clearmode.c (do_clearmode): do_clearmode() would remove
1136 +k and +l even if they weren't set...
1138 * ircd/m_opmode.c: implement the OPMODE command using mode_parse()
1140 * ircd/channel.c: make mode_process_clients() clear the DEOPPED

1142 for; test the 0-th member, not the i-th member, of the client
1145 * ircd/m_clearmode.c (do_clearmode): use the new
1146 mode_invite_clear() function
1148 * ircd/channel.c: cleared up all the compile-time warnings and
1151 * include/channel.h: added declarations for mode_ban_invalidate()

1155 dozen or so helper functions to make the code easier to read
1157 2000-03-29 Thomas Helvey <tomh@inxpress.net>
1158 * ircd/ircd.c: refactor server initialization a bit, use
1159 getopt for parsing command line, refactor init_sys, main,
1162 * ircd/s_bsd.c: add functions for initialization to clean
1163 up logic a bit and remove duplicated code.
1165 * include/ircd.h: add struct for server process related
1168 2000-03-29 Kevin L. Mitchell <klmitch@mit.edu>
1170 * ircd/channel.c: initial definition of mode_parse(); flags to

1181 building logic, reversed the order of the arguments to mode
1182 commands to have '-' preceed '+'
1184 2000-03-29 Thomas Helvey <tomh@inxpress.net>
1185 * ircd/s_bsd.c (add_connection): don't disable socket options
1186 let OS tune itself and allow important performance tweaks to
1189 2000-03-28 Kevin L. Mitchell <klmitch@mit.edu>
1191 * ircd/channel.c (modebuf_flush_int): use %d, not %-15d; I got
1192 confused by set_mode, which is doing some really weird logic;
1193 guess what I'm going to rewrite next? ;)
1195 2000-03-28 Kevin L. Mitchell <klmitch@emc.com>
1197 * include/channel.h: added MODE_SAVE for the bounds checking stuff
1200 * ircd/channel.c: make modebuf_flush into modebuf_flush_int and
1201 make it do bounds checking on the buffer; all modes are sent only
1202 if the all parameter is 1; modebuf_flush is the exported wrapper
1204 * include/channel.h: add BOUNCE, renumber flags to get a little
1207 * ircd/channel.c (modebuf_flush): don't overload HACK2, add
1208 BOUNCE; send DESYNCH message
1210 2000-03-27 Kevin L. Mitchell <klmitch@emc.com>
1212 * ircd/m_clearmode.c (do_clearmode): only mark the modes the
1213 channel actually has in effect for deletion
1215 * ircd/channel.c: added explanatory comments to all added
1216 functions; made flushing take place at the correct place even if
1217 the MODEBUF_DEST_DEOP flag is set; rewrote build_string() helper
1218 to bash some stupid bugs; made modebuf_flush() return if ModeBuf
1219 is empty, fixed the apparent source, removed some bogus string
1220 termination code, properly terminate the mode strings, add support
1221 for HACK2 and HACK3, made limit strings not be sent if the limit
1222 is being removed, changed where '+' and '-' come from in sent
1223 strings, added support for DEOP flag, set up bouncing code for
1226 * ircd/Makefile.in: ran make depend
1228 * include/channel.h: added new defines for future functionality,
1229 made modebuf_flush() return int so I can use tail recursion
1231 * ircd/m_clearmode.c: add msg.h to includes; other misc cleanups
1232 to make it all compile
1234 * ircd/m_opmode.c: add msg.h to includes...
1236 * ircd/m_clearmode.c: implemented mo_clearchan()/ms_clearchan()
1238 * ircd/channel.c (modebuf_flush): realized I forgot to
1239 nul-terminate addbuf/rembuf properly...
1241 * ircd/m_clearmode.c (do_clearmode): wrote do_clearmode()...
1243 * ircd/channel.c (modebuf_flush): correct sendto_server_butone to
1244 sendto_serv_butone--blah^2
1246 * ircd/send.c (sendto_serv_butone): stupid comments confused me
1248 * ircd/channel.c (modebuf_flush): if there are no mode changes to
1249 propagate, we're done...
1251 * ircd/channel.c (modebuf_flush): duh; it's sendto_server_butone,
1252 not sendto_all_butone
1254 * ircd/m_clearmode.c: define skeleton for m{o,s}_clearmode
1256 * ircd/m_opmode.c: define skeleton for m{o,s}_opmode
1258 * ircd/Makefile.in (SRC): added m_opmode() and m_clearmode() to
1261 * ircd/parse.c: added messages for opmode and clearmode
1263 * include/handlers.h: added declarations for mo_opmode(),
1264 ms_opmode(), mo_clearmode(), and ms_clearmode()
1266 * include/msg.h: define MSG_OPMODE, TOK_OPMODE, MSG_CLEARMODE, and
1269 * include/channel.h (MODEBUF_DEST_OPMODE): Define the
1270 MODEBUF_DEST_OPMODE flag
1272 * ircd/channel.c (modebuf_flush): added new flag,
1273 MODEBUF_DEST_OPMODE; causes channel MODE/HACK(4) notice to appear
1274 to originate from source's server (or source itself, if
1275 IsServer(source)); also causes a server-level MODE to be sent as
1278 * include/channel.h: defined MODEBUF_DEST_SERVER,
1281 * ircd/channel.c: Add another argument to build_string() to handle
1282 numeric nicks; implemented MODEBUF_DEST_SERVER to send MODEs to
1283 servers; implemented MODEBUF_DEST_HACK4 to cause HACK(4) notices
1286 2000-03-27 Perry Lorier <isomer@coders.net>
1288 * ircd/s_bsd.c: fixed missing 'u' typo.
1290 2000-03-26 Kevin L. Mitchell <klmitch@emc.com>
1292 * ircd/channel.c: implement modebuf_init(), _mode(), _mode_uint(),
1293 _mode_string(), _mode_client(), _flush(); also implemented a
1294 simple build_string()
1296 * include/channel.h: added definition of ModeBuf, modebuf_*
1297 manipulation functions, and a couple of helper macros
1299 2000-03-24 Thomas Helvey <tomh@inxpress.net>
