Hi all, The bug in 2.0.6 should have been identified in the code review and testing phase - and I feel like we got some egg on our face as a result. I wanted to take a moment to comment on it, and apologize. The fact that this bug, being fairly big and obvious, got through the process reflects that I've been a bit lax in reviews and testing. I'm personally going to change my review and approval process to try to resolve these issues, through a more formal off-trunk review. Bahamut as a project is effectively in a maintenance phase, as we don't have anyone working on it as actively as we previously have. We release new versions sporadically, and don't have a roadmap or any "next big thing". This is actually part of the problem - without goals, we have a lot fewer eyes on individual changes, and we're not all driving towards anything. So with that said, I'd like to put it to the community to discuss what we could put on our roadmap. Little things and big things. Let's brainstorm - what would you like to see in Bahamut? And out of this discussion, maybe we can line up a roadmap for 2.1, 2.2 and maybe even a 3.0. What would you like to see in Bahamut? -Aaron

We've gotten some comments/suggestions over the last year or so about becoming more "IRCv3" compliant...More info available here: http://ircv3.atheme.org/ And I know we've beaten this to death before, but I'm still very much in favor of some sort of user hostmasking, whether hash-based in the ircd, or tied to services - in such a way where staff (and law enforcement if necessary) would still be able to see real IPs. :) Brandon brandon@dalnet [irc.dal.net] Routing & Peering Team Lead On 5/24/2013 8:27 AM, Aaron Wiebe wrote:

Hostmasking remains one of the most popular requests users raise in #help as well. If we are to be committed to providing an experience to users that is one they appreciate and like, providing basic security measures should be considered. As for other feature suggestions, I think that sort of depends on the direction IRC as a whole is going. I haven't been following a lot of the discussions lately, so I'm unsure of exactly how much modernization we may be looking to implement.

Bahamut to a degree has hostmasking already. It's called svshost where a unlined server sets it. Integrating hostmasking into nickserv would be neat. Sent from my iPhone On May 24, 2013, at 6:34, brandon <brandon@DAL.NET> wrote:

Actually, we were working on some Facebook integration. It wouldn't necessarily have to tie into the IRCD at all, I think we had envisioned a Facebook App that you could install that would allow you to chat, and also give you some access to the Services features that you'd normally get via users.dal.net. So you might still see that. B brandon@dalnet [irc.dal.net] Routing & Peering Team Lead On 5/27/13 2:10 PM, Asif Ali Baig wrote:
Totally agreed - but I'm afraid that is impossible to do that communication between both entirely different platform work together but if it happens that woul be a great turn for DALnet and its user strength !

I'd love to say it was entirely tongue in cheek, but the reality is that IRC has suffered highly as a result of Facebook. Finding a way to integrate the two platforms may rekindle interest.

Bahamut to a degree has hostmasking already. It's called svshost where a unlined server sets it. Integrating hostmasking into nickserv would be neat.

Embedded DNSBL query capabilities to the IRCD would be a nice feature. Regards, Harry On 24/5/2013 3:27 ??, Aaron Wiebe wrote:
Hi all,
The bug in 2.0.6 should have been identified in the code review and testing phase - and I feel like we got some egg on our face as a result. I wanted to take a moment to comment on it, and apologize.
The fact that this bug, being fairly big and obvious, got through the process reflects that I've been a bit lax in reviews and testing. I'm personally going to change my review and approval process to try to resolve these issues, through a more formal off-trunk review.
Bahamut as a project is effectively in a maintenance phase, as we don't have anyone working on it as actively as we previously have. We release new versions sporadically, and don't have a roadmap or any "next big thing". This is actually part of the problem - without goals, we have a lot fewer eyes on individual changes, and we're not all driving towards anything.
So with that said, I'd like to put it to the community to discuss what we could put on our roadmap. Little things and big things. Let's brainstorm - what would you like to see in Bahamut? And out of this discussion, maybe we can line up a roadmap for 2.1, 2.2 and maybe even a 3.0.
What would you like to see in Bahamut?

I've already implemented such feature for a small network (IPv4 enabled queries only) and works great. It has actually reduced droneruns and proxy disturbance quite significantly. The way it works is like this: when a new connection is received (and before registering it to the ircd) a new DNSBL query is dispatched to all blacklists defined in the ircd.conf. Depending on the replies and whether they match the replies defined in ircd.conf the user is whether killed with a kill message specified for the particular blacklist or the user registration continues normally. However, with this approach if X is a timeout specified for a DNSBL, then it might take up to X seconds before the user connection can proceed with registration if the DNSBL is down/there are network issues.
