| Summary | 0005353: U5: consider removing old protocol code (3.2.x etc) | ||||
| Description | 'i' suggested we should remove all 3.2.x compatibility code in 5.x. I have not decided yet. I don't care about linking UnrealIRCd 3.2.x to 5.x, but I do care about services. Then again, they must be quite old if they don't support UID and stuff? I'll set the bug report to 'feedback' so other users/admins can chime in. | ||||

I guess we should take a look at the services packages that are in use on U4, to see what PROTOCTL they negotiate, and with what we can get away with wrt dropping support. |

I pulled data from my IRCStats project. 515 networks (not servers, networks) run a services package on UnrealIRCd 4. This is based off the Dec 2018 sample. I am deliberately leaving networks running 3.2.x out of it, since I think those are beyond help... U3.2 has been deprecated since Dec 2015 and unsupported since Jan 2017. Anope: 477 (92.6%) Atheme: 25 (4.9%) IRCServices: 8 (1.5%) Xtheme: 5 (1%) Total: 515 (100%) Note that this only looks at "real" services packages, the ones that usually provide NickServ. It does not look at pylink/janus/etc. Still, looks good. Anope/Atheme/Xtheme should all provide U4 support with the modern PROTOCTL options. IRCServices is deprecated and hasn't seen a release for about 10 years, so.. yeah.. those 8 networks would need to switch :D. Oh, yeah, of the anope networks there is 1 on 1.6.x, and 27 on 1.8.x, one on 1.9.x. I am assuming these can upgrade to 2.0.x, although that could be a wrong assumption if they customized a lot. Still.. anope offers an upgrade track for them at least. |

Done. Perhaps some stuff is still here or there but by far most of it is ripped out so this issue can be closed. I wrote the following in https://github.com/unrealircd/unrealircd/blob/unreal50/doc/RELEASE-NOTES.md : UnrealIRCd 5 now assumes you support the following PROTOCTL options: NOQUIT EAUTH SID NICKv2 SJOIN SJ3 NICKIP TKLEXT2. If you fail to use SID or EAUTH then you will receive an error. For the other options, support is assumed, no warning or error is shown when you lack support. These are options that most, if not all, services support since UnrealIRCd 4.x so it shouldn't be a problem. More information here: https://www.unrealircd.org/docs/FAQ#old-server-protocol |
