v2.0.9 released!

InspIRCd v2.0.9 is now available, in addition to the usual bugfixes there are some new features as well:

• It is now possible to customize which cipher algorithms are used by the SSL modules
• CGI IRC users can no longer evade m_dnsbl
• The directory where various data files (pidfile, xline db) are placed is now customizable using configure
• A new regex module based on std::regex
• A brand new module to support server-side topic locking (better services integration)
• m_knock can now send a numeric to the channel when someone /KNOCKs instead of a notice, like ratbox (and friends)
• Extban ‘U’ that keeps unregistered users out of a channel but not registered ones (see #247 and helpop)
• The “Welcome to network!” notice can be disabled

Upgrading is strongly recommended, tarballs can be found at the usual place.

Once again, if you think you’ve found a bug then please report it here. Feature requests can also be submitted at the same place.

Thanks to all the people who contributed to this release:

Adam (4):

• Fixed Windows build
• Fix bug #291 - fix rehashing bind tags not changing them between servers/clients and ssl/nonssl

ChrisTX (8):

• m_spanningtree: Resolve issue #250
• listensocket: Fix the two aliasing warnings m_ssl_gnutls: Fix three warnings: 1. libgcrypt will emit a warning to stdout during runtime that it has not been properly initialized 2. Resolve a warning about invalid narrowing inside a { } block. This is not valid as of C++11. 3. Resolve a warning about a wrong format specifier being used
• configreader: Replace ConfValue here with a ConfigTagList enumeration, as it isn’t guaranteed that bind or link tags are unique which causes Issue #270
• m_regex_stdlib: A regex provider for the C++11 container std::regex
• Windows: Replace the unused function hack with explicit instantiation
• Windows: Use the WinAPI for DNS server retrieval
• Replace hardcoded paths with configurable ones

Robby- (2):

• m_ssl_openssl: Show the SSL cipher used after connecting. Previously only a fingerprint was shown when one was available, else nothing was shown at all.

Shawn Smith (2):

• Added ExtBan U to match only Unregistered users Enhancement requested in Issue #247
