Translations:What's new in UnrealIRCd 6/2/en

• Completely new logging system:
  • The default snomask letters changed(!) and you can now define your own snomasks. Server notices now have color (which can be turned off).
  • The log messages on-disk and in snomasks are now identical and include a subsystem and event ID. This makes it uniform and easier to look up fault codes.
  • The log { } block is completely redone. You need to make some changes when upgrading from U5 to U6.
  • Optional JSON logging is available for easier parsing by bots and other automated programs.
  • Logging to a channel in UnrealIRCd 6.0.2 and later.
• Almost all channel modes are now modular. Only the three list modes +beI are not. This means that you can now, for example, decide not to load halfops via blacklist-module chanmodes/halfop;. The same can be done for chanowner and chanadmin.
• Extended bans now have names instead of letters. Eg +b ~channel:#badchan instead of +b ~c:#badchan. They will automatically be converted when coming from clients and from/to older UnrealIRCd servers.
• Configure WHOIS output in a very precise way. You can now decide which fields you want to expose to who through set::whois-details.
• Remote includes are now always supported, even if not compiled with CURL support.
• Special users can get higher flood rates, different max-channels-per-user, etc.
• UnrealIRCd admin webpanel using the JSON-RPC interface (6.0.6+)
• Geo IP lookups are now done by default.
  • By default the module geoip_classic is loaded, which automatically receives weekly updates via unrealircd.org. Other geoip libraries and formats are also possible.
  • The GEO information shows up in WHOIS, in connecting notices as [country: XX] and elsewhere
  • A new extended ban +b ~country:BE can be used by regular users.
  • It can also be used as an extended server ban, eg. GLINE ~country:BD 0 :Too much spam from this country or forcing SASL authentication for a country, eg: GLINE %~country:BD 0 :Too much spam from this country, please log in with a services account
• More IRCv3 features: MONITOR, draft/extended-monitor, invite-notify, setname
• CLI improvements. In UnrealIRCd 6.0.2+ the ./unrealircd rehash command now shows rehash warnings/errors, so you can see if the rehash succeeded. The rest of the Command Line Interface has been improved as well and several options are now available on Windows too.
• Code cleanups. Again lots of code cleanups have been done and module API changes.
• Documentation: a new Security article outlines all the security features of UnrealIRCd in one place
