We're pleased to be publishing the release candidate for 2.11.0 (the official release should follow in a week or so). This is another bugfix release aimed at improving client compatibility and keeping up with the IRCv3 specification process.

This release includes changes to the config file format, all of which are fully backwards-compatible and do not require updating the file before upgrading. It includes no changes to the database file format.

Many thanks to dedekro, @emersion, @eskimo, hauser, @jwheare, @kingter-sutjiadi, knolle, @Mikaela, @mogad0n, @PeGaSuS-Coder, and @progval for contributing patches, reporting issues, and helping test.

Config changes

  • Added fakelag.command-budgets, which allows each client session a limited number of specific commands that are exempt from fakelag. This improves compatibility with Goguma in particular. For the current recommended default, see default.yaml (#1978, thanks @emersion!)
  • The recommended value of server.casemapping is now ascii instead of precis. PRECIS remains fully supported; if you are already running an Ergo instance, we do not recommend changing the value unless you are confident that your existing users are not relying on non-ASCII nicknames and channel names. (#1718)

Changed

  • Network services like NickServ now appear in WHO responses where applicable (#1850, thanks @emersion!)
  • The extended-monitor capability now appears under its ratified name (#2006, thanks @progval!)
  • TAGMSG no longer receives automatic RPL_AWAY responses (#1983, thanks @eskimo!)
  • Sending SIGUSR1 to the Ergo process now prints a full goroutine stack dump to stderr, allowing debugging even when the HTTP pprof listener is disabled (#1975)
  • UBAN now states explicitly that bans without a time limit have "indefinite" duration (#1988, thanks @mogad0n!)

Fixed

  • WHO with a bare nickname as an argument now shows invisible users, comparable to WHOIS (#1991, thanks @emersion!)
  • MySQL did not work on 32-bit architectures; this has been fixed (#1969, thanks hauser!)
  • Fixed the name of the CHATHISTORY 005 token (#2008, #2009, thanks @emersion!)
  • Fixed handling of the address ::1 in WHOX output (#1980, thanks knolle!)
  • Fixed handling of AWAY with an empty parameter (the de facto standard is to treat as a synonym for no parameter, which means "back") (#1996, thanks @emersion, @jwheare!)
  • Fixed incorrect handling of some invalid modes in CS AMODE (#2002, thanks @eskimo!)

Added

  • Added the draft/persistence capability and associated PERSISTENCE command. This is a first attempt to standardize Ergo's "always-on" functionality so that clients can interact with it programmatically. (#1982)

Internal

  • Upgraded to Go 1.19; this makes further architecture-specific bugs like #1969 much less likely (#1987, #1989)
  • The test suite is now parallelized (#1976, thanks @progval!)
