| 9 |
|
|
README, BOTNET, MODULES and tcl-commands.doc so you will be up-to-date. Please |
| 10 |
|

| 12 |
|
|
|
| 13 |
|
|
|
| 14 |
|
|
|
| 15 |
|
|
So, now, what's new? |
| 16 |
|
|
-------------------- |
| 17 |
|
|
|
| 18 |
|
|
Since Eggdrop 1.4.x |
| 19 |
|
|
|
| 20 |
|
|
!CHANNELS |
| 21 |
|
|
Support for IRCNET !channels was added to eggdrop. Also this might be still a bit |
| 22 |
|
|
buggy, it should work basically. We appreciate bug reports! |
| 23 |
|
|
|
| 24 |
|
|
ASYNCHRONOUS DNS MODULE |
| 25 |
|
|
Eggdrop 1.5.1 is shipped with a new module, the dns module. It replaces those old |
| 26 |
|
|
ns-lookups performed by eggdrop which could halt the whole bot during a time-out. |
| 27 |
|
|
We also added a new tcl command 'dnslookup', so scripts can look up IP's and |
| 28 |
|
|
hostname now asynchronously, too. |
| 29 |
|
|
|
| 30 |
|
|
+/-NODESYNCH |
| 31 |
|
|
This new channel setting replaces the old 'allow-desync' setting from global to |
| 32 |
|
|
channel functionality. This setting is usefull if you use some kind of chanserv |
| 33 |
|
|
or if you don't care about your channel being desnych. |
| 34 |
|
|
|
| 35 |
|
|
NICK LENGTH |
| 36 |
|
|
To support longer nicknames as some irc servers do (dalnet I think) a settings was |
| 37 |
|
|
added for this one (nick-len). |
| 38 |
|
|
|
| 39 |
|
|
PENALTY CALCULATION |
| 40 |
|
|
Eggdrop calculates penalty points on IRCNET now, so it won't flood itself off anymore. |
| 41 |
|
|
|
| 42 |
|
|
SHARE MODULE |
| 43 |
|
|
Share module got a new setting now (override-bots) which allows hub bots to |
| 44 |
|
|
override the leafs bot setting (botadress, telnet port and password). Please note, |
| 45 |
|
|
that this won't work with a 1.4 or even 1.3 bot. |
| 46 |
|
|
|
| 47 |
|
|
TCL COMMANDS |
| 48 |
|
|
* All three commands to add stuff to the queus (puthelp, putserv and putquick) |
| 49 |
|
|
support the '-next' parameter now which pushes data to the front of the queues. |
| 50 |
|
|
* An command to calculate md5 checksums was added (md5). |
| 51 |
|
|
* To support the new asynch dns module, the command 'dnslookup' was added. |
| 52 |
|
|
|
| 53 |
|
|
TRAFFIC ACCOUNTING |
| 54 |
|
|
Eggdrop counts the whole traffic which it generates and receives through irc,botnet and |
| 55 |
|
|
dcc now. You can access these statistica via the dcc command '.traffic'. Please |
| 56 |
|
|
note, that the counter gets reset every time a restart is done. |
| 57 |
|
|
|
| 58 |
|
|
TRANSFER / FILESYS MODULE |
| 59 |
|
|
The filesys and transfer modules have changed completely. Both can handle now |
| 60 |
|
|
unlimited filename lengths and description sizes. Incomplete downloads from the |
| 61 |
|
|
bot can be resumed now. |
| 62 |
|
|
The db format of the filesys module was also changed to remove the limits imposed |
| 63 |
|
|
by the old format. There's nothing special for you to do as the old db is |
| 64 |
|
|
automatically converted to the new format when you first access it. You won't be |
| 65 |
|
|
able to downgrade to older versions after this though, so maybe you'll want to |
| 66 |
|
|
make a backup first. |
