Version 4.0.0¶

This is a major release. See source:MIGRATING.md file for more information.

The key highlight for this release is the rewrite from C++ to C. The only
runtime dependency required is OpenSSL (if built with SSL support).

irccd¶

• Irccd keeps track of nicknames in channels by capturing join/part/kick and
  mode changes. It is now more convenient from the plugins to quickly inspect if
  someone is present on a channel.
• It is now possible to change uid/gid of the transport socket file. The file is
  also created with permissions 664.
• A new paths command has been added to show default paths.

irccdctl¶

• Commands plugin-reload and plugin-unload can be invoked without arguments.
• New plugin-template and plugin-path command which are synonyms of
  plugin-config but for templates and paths respectively.

plugins¶

• tictactoe: now has a timeout in case of inactivity.

misc¶

• Split irccd-api manual page into individual irccd-api-<module> for a better
  readability.
• New irccd.conf and irccdctl.conf syntax.

network API¶

- Network protocol uses plain text again.
- Transport uses clear UNIX sockets only without passwords.

javascript API¶

- Brand new Irccd.Rule API to inspect and manage rules.
- Brand new Irccd.Hook API to inspect and manage hooks.
