Version 2.2:
date boog/enhancement
----------------------------------------------------------------------
08-13-00 - Changed the mode handling for scripting, so
every single mode will be handed over.

08-05-00 - Added SWITCHNET to switch from the main to another
network.

- Added LEAVEMSG $QUIT, if set to $QUIT, the leavemsg will
be posted from the text to the quitmessage
- made a cronny script
07-20-00 - Added scripting (cgi-stylish)
See the readme and the litte example script
in scripts/example.
- Added DCC Chat & Files
Allows you to dcc chat directly from the
bouncer and to receive/send files from and
to the shell.
DCCCHATS are to be enabled with
#define DCCCHAT
and DCC File send/receive with
#define DCCFILES
- IPv6 Support
psyBNC allows from version 2.2 the support
of IPv6 in every mean. This includes listening
and connecting to IPv6 hosts. Also implemented
is DCC CHAT6 and DCC SEND6, but this is
still experimental, and only hell knows, if
it will be solved the way psybnc uses it.
- Support of oIdentd added
psyBNC allows the method of ident spoofing
oIdentd supports.
Use
#define OIDENTD
in the config.h File to enable it.
- Moved all single INI-Files to one config file
called psybnc.conf by default.
- Multiple Listeners
psyBNC can listen on as many ips and Ports
as which are defined in the psybnc.conf file.
This also allows to listen on an intranet ip
and not as it was in 2.1 only on ALL interfaces.
- Moved channels/names to internal
This allows names and channelspecific informations
much faster to be sent to the user, and will
not create traffic on the server when the user
rejoins psyBNC.
- Reorganized string routines, reorganized socket
string builds.
- Invented an internal ircd into psybnc, which
can be adressed by using int~ as token.
This will be shared thruout the linked
network of psybnc, and allows all modes
including kicks/bans/op/voice.
This was done to replace the old &partyline,
which still can be used by setting the
compiling option.
The internal network can be enabled by entering
#define INTNET
and the old partyline channel by
#define PARTYCHANNEL
to the config.h File.
- Flood protection
The serverside socket will wait for a server
reply before sending additional strings to
the server. This allows sending many lines
of text without getting flooded. The maximum
same total number of bytes is set to 700.
- Singleusermode / Multiusermode
If Multiusermode is disabled, the login has
not to fit to the added user, only the
password is being checked. Also, the user
may not add any other users than himself.
Multiusermode gets defined with
#define MULTIUSER
and singleusermode will be active, when
MULTIUSER is not defined.
- Anonymous Mode
This allows to open the proxy for anonymous
users, so every login would be successfull.
Will be enabled with #define ANONYMOUS.
- Dynamic Mode
This will kill the server connection after
a user signed off from the bouncer.
Will be enabled with #define DYNAMIC
- Provider Configuration
The shellprovider can define a global
psyBNC config.h by putting this into
/psybnc/config.h. On Compilation that
config will be used.
- Bugfixes in Networking
The user did not see modes or nickchanges
correctly on secondary networks.
- The possibility to switch networks off
by removing the NETWORK define from
the config.h, the user cannot create any
new Networks.
- Bugfixes in Parsing
Some Bugs in Parsing of IRC-Strings
could crash the bouncer.
This has been solved with 2.2.
- Wrote a menuconfiguration with GUI
for psyBNC.
Just use
make menuconfig
to start it.
- Deleted the os specific makefiles and
replaced them with a selfdetecting
configuration tool, which will sense
the abilities of the system.
