.12 uses a C-style config file, with a bison parser - it was taken
from Hybrid ircd. Essential, a .11 O line might look like this:
O:*@*.shad0w.org.uk:<password>:_Shad0w_::10
A .12 one looks like this:
operator {
local = no;
host = "*@*.shad0w.org.uk";
password = "<password>";
name = "_Shad0w_";
class = "local";
};
As you can see, the classes are also named rather than
numbered...makes visual identifcation a lot easier. There's also a huge
set of privileges in .12 to replace the flat local or global concept.
If you want to see the new conf files in action, just check out
the HEAD of the CVS, which will give you the .12 development code,
including the new conf file parser. Although be warned the term Alpha
might be a little generous ;)
