uhub 0.7.1 released release

uhub 0.7.1 is available as platform-independent source. This release introduces mod_ucmd, a new plug-in that publishes the hub's registered commands as ADC user-command (UCMD) context-menu entries for clients that support the UCM0 extension. Every command available at a user's credential level appears in the client's right-click menu — user-targeting commands such as kick, ban and getip in the user-list menu, and the rest in the hub menu — and selecting an entry sends the matching +command on the user's behalf.

The plug-in API gains a command_foreach() hub callback and a read-only plugin_command_info view so plug-ins can enumerate the registered hub commands available to a given credential level. See the download page to get the sources and the getting started guide to run your first hub.

uhub 0.7.0 released release

uhub 0.7.0 is available as platform-independent source. This release adds hub linking and federation — multiple uhubs can be joined into a single logical hub with a partitioned SID space, a dedicated authenticated hub-to-hub protocol, a synchronised cluster roster, and cross-hub routing of chat, private messages, searches and connect requests. A new multi-process mode forks workers=N processes that share the client port to spread load across CPU cores.

Performance work coalesces broadcast writes into a single writev()/SSL_write() per connection each event-loop iteration, and the DNS resolver now uses a worker-thread pool. New features include a bearer-token-gated Prometheus metrics endpoint served on the existing port, ADC NATT NAT-traversal support, experimental HBRI hybrid IPv4/IPv6 connectivity, and mod_auth_sqlite !regme / !passwd self-service commands. The release also brings extensive security hardening (binary-hardening flags, constant-time password comparison, log-injection sanitising and more) and numerous BSD/macOS portability fixes. See the download page to get the sources and the getting started guide to run your first hub.
