UnrealIRCd 4.0.13 adds support for two SSL/TLS-related features: STS (Strict Transport Security) and SNI (Server Name Indication). This release also comes with a number of bugfixes, the most encountered ones being an issue with 'simple' spamfilters and the previously introduced +Z user mode. Improve...

The first (and possibly only) release candidate for 4.0.13 is out. Please help us test this release so we can release a stable 4.0.13. Improvements: Support for Strict Transport Security (draft/sts). Support for Server Name Indication (SNI) via the new sni { } block Add conf/modules.optional.conf. T...

That would be a problem on the Kiwi IRC client-side. Not in UnrealIRCd. (I can safely say this because if the webirc password is wrong then UnrealIRCd would reject the connection, and not let you in at all.) I see you used this in your kiwi_config: // WebIRC password enabled for this server conf.web...

You're wondering why we don't have any documentation regarding set::ssl::dh. That configuration directive is used for specifying static DH parameters, which is basically the "old way" to use DH. We do not recommend it and therefore don't document it. Most, if not all clients, are able to negotiate s...

It advertises the features supported by the server. The information is used by your IRC client so it knows what features are supported. Hence, removing them would be unwise.
(If you want to know more about it, google on: irc 005)

Both modules are optional so they are not loaded by default and thus not present in modules.default.conf . You can load them if you wish to use them. Just to avoid confusion: none of this changed in 4.0.12. The modules you mention were announced in 4.0.10, so the 4.0.10 release notes contain a bit m...

UnrealIRCd 4.0.12 is now available for download. It fixes a number of bugs and adds a new user mode +Z which SSL/TLS users may find useful. Also, an important note to anyone using 3rd party modules : They are a great way to extend UnrealIRCd's functionality. However, a (small) mistake in a module ca...

Just a small note: this functionality will be in UnrealIRCd 4.0.12 by default (not yet released at time of writing).

For some reason nobody ever requested it on the bug/feature tracker. Which is a bit of a pitty, since if I had known about this feature back in 2012 I would have added it. I like it!

Which limitation are you hitting? Which of the 4? The reason there is a limitation at all is because of the way the system works. It will waste space if the slots are unused. This was chosen above dynamically allocated space because a static slot system is a lot faster (same memory block, will be in...

You really shouldn't use 3.2.x anymore. See https://www.unrealircd.org/docs/UnrealI ... deprecated

In UnrealIRCd 4 this "feature" has been removed because it was rather useless and (indeed) annoying.

Yeah the codepage vs utf8 stuff is a hassle :(
Anyway, it shouldn't make any difference: SSL or no SSL. Probably the client is behaving differently (which client?), really doubt it's the server.

After a talk with BOPM/HOPM people we decided to standardize the "connecting" messages so they could be easier parsed by bots/programs. This also means that local connects and far connects now use the same format. In that process the port number was dropped.

May be worth mentioning that "/WHO -m z" and "/WHO +m z" can also be used to list non-SSL and SSL users respectively.

With action "warn" the message is not blocked.

But yes users see a warning message about their message being intercepted.
