0.15.1

0.15.1 (2020-02-06)

Bugfixes

• Fix an issue where legacy mappings would cause the bridge to not start. (#971)

0.15.0

0.15.0 (2020-02-05)

Features

• Breaking Change - Static mappings can now set a channel key:
  • This changes the config schema, even if you do not make use of this feature. You MUST update your existing mappings to use the new roomIds:

    old:
      mappings:
        "#thepub": ["!kieouiJuedJoxtVdaG:localhost"]
    
    new:
      mappings:
        "#thepub":
          roomIds: ["!kieouiJuedJoxtVdaG:localhost"]

  • The key is automatically used to join Matrix users to the mapped channel. They do not need to know the key. For example, you can bridge password-protected IRC channels to invite-only Matrix rooms:

    mappings:
      "#viplounge":
        roomIds: ["!xKtieojhareASOokdc:localhost"]
        key: "vip-pass"
    ``` ([\#591](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-appservice-irc/issues/591))

• Add 'defaultOnline' and 'excludeRegex' parameters to /reapUsers. (#930)
• Add support for MSC2346; adding information about the bridged channel into room state. (#941)
• Added !listrooms command to list which channels you are connected to. (#965)

Bugfixes

• Fix issue where bridges using NeDB would not start. (#955)
• Substitute $SERVER in ircService.servers.*.dynamicChannels.aliasTemplate
  when generating a room alias from channel (fixes thirdparty lookups and joining
  by IRC channel name from Riot). (#958)
• Fix an issue where the postgres migration script does not translate '_' => '.' (#962)
• Fix issue where migrating users from NeDB to Postgres would fail if they had a password. (#968)
• Fix bug where users would not be able to join a channel via !join. (#970)

Deprecations and Removals

• Removed upgrade-db-0.*.js scripts which were used to upgrade old versions of the NeDB database. If you are upgrading from <=0.9.1 then you can find the upgrade scripts here. (#947)
• Remove statsd support as per #818 (#949)
• Remove githooks, since they are unused. (#951)

Internal Changes

• Queue more membership operations inside a retry queue (#932)
• Queue IRC messages inbound to Matrix for a maximum of 5 seconds. (#953)
