Services Update Log

1.8.9.1 Release
June 9, 2002

WARNING: This version of services introduces changes to the database format, and new features such as encrypted passwords that make databases incompatible with previous versions of services. Please make sure to keep an up-to-date backup of your databases, prior to updating, in case you decided to roll back.
  • Added support for salted MD5-hashed passwords. The following changes are part of the change:

    • Removed the GETPASS command for NickServ and ChanServ; the SETPASS command should be used instead.
    • Updated the database parser to detect and automatically update databases that use plain-text passwords to the new format, with salted MD5-hashed passwords.

  • Added globally unique identifiers (GUID) to registered nicknames, registered channels and autokill objects. This support is only enabled if the hosting ConferenceRoom server has GUID support enabled.
  • Fix a problem with MemoServ folders. This format required a change to the database format.
  • Allow users to identify and claim their nickname in a single command when using the "pre-login identify" feature via the "PASS" command.
  • Fix a problem with services forbid masks not expanding wildcards properly.
  • Enhance autokill code, to allow it to track users based on both the IP and the hostname.
  • Added support for attaching passwords to each operator configuration in OperServ, and to allow users to "oper" up via services. O:lines can now be maintained centrally by services instead on a per-server basis. The following changes are part of the change:

    • Renamed the OperServ command to configure operators from "OPER" to "OPERCFG"
    • When adding a new operator, an optional password can be specified: "/OPERSERV <nickname> ADD <level> <password>"
    • Services root users can change the password for an operator on services: "/OPERSERV <nickname> PASSWORD <newpass>"
    • Allow an operator entry to be disabled: "/OPERSERV OPERCFG <name> {ENABLE|DISABLE}"
    • Reassigned the command "OPER" to grant operator privileges if the correct username/password combination is provided; the syntax is: "/OPERSERV OPER <nickname> <password>" and the command can be used by non-ircops.
    • Added support to allow operators to change their services operator password via OperServ: /OPERSERV PASSWORD <old-password> <new-password>
