With the release of anope 1.8.7 it is now possible to publish the updated bs_f_ext to the modsite for the masses..
This final release contains a few more changes over the previous devel release which are listed below..

Upgrading is highly recommended as the crashbug in !help (thx to TMFKSOFT for reporting) nearly blew the party 

The module can now again be downloaded from the module site: http://modules.anope.org/index.php?page=view&id=42

Changes

        F  Fixed tban expiry times always been generated in english.
        F  Fixed possible crash when loading missing lang file.
        F  Fixed a crashbug in !help when another supported fantasy module is loaded & detected.

It has been a while again since my last release and since there were still some unresolved bugs, I thought it was time to push out a new version..

Before publishing anything to the modules site, I request some people download the latest code from GIT and give it a spin..
Find a full change list below, but the changes aren't drastic, so I think it should be stable enough to be tested on a live network..

I appreciate all feedback, even if it s just a confirmation everything is working fine.. 

For translators: I intend to release this update to the modules site in the last weekend of September, so any updated translations for the language files should be in my inbox before then..

Changes

        A  Added !tprepend and !rprepend to prepend topic and replace last topic prepend.
        A  Added (VERY) partial German language file. (Provided by Han`.) (This still needs to be comleted!)
        U  Updated module support to detect bs_fantasy_vhost and ignore help queries handled by it.
        U  Replaced the French language file with a rewritten version provided by PePsY.
               (Translation was made for 1.4.0, so contains some English strings to work with 1.4.1.)
        R  Removed header and footer from !help as it was conflicting with other fantasy modules.
        F  Fixed !rappend|!trapp clearing entire topic when issued without argument instead of removing the last append.
        F  Prevent replying to !help set karma and !set karma when bs_fantasy_karma is around to handle it.

        F  Fixed !clear voices on ircd's with SVSMODE support.

I tryied to load it on my anope services and sais that i have os_raw module in and cannot work with it and retur FATAL, is there anyway to make it work with the os_raw module inside ?

[Charles Kingsley]

No, disable raw.

It has been a while since the release of 1.4.0 and a number of bugs of varying severity have surfaced, and been fixed in that time. However, recently a critical, exploitable infinite loop vulnerability was reported in 1.4.0, thus an immediate fix was required. (All versions since 1.3.0 are known to be affected; older versions were not verified.)
This release fixes that bug, as well as many other issues that were fixed in the repository over the past year.

I made a pre-release of 1.4.0, but I didn't receive much/any feedback, so I have no idea how well most of the changes in the release have been tested in a real environment, given that I no longer operate my own IRC network to try stuff on

The most notable changes:
 - Added !tprepend and !rprepend to prepend topic and replace last prepend on a topic.
 - french & german language updates; though these are still lacking given that noone has managed to do a full translation to date.
 - Various fixes for !clear and topic related commands.
 - Fixed a number of crash & infinite loop bugs in the status commands (!op/!deop/..).

The module can be downloaded from the modules site: http://modules.anope.org/index.php?page=view&id=42

I've installed on my net bs_fantasy_ext [1.4.1 [ QM-u-OpC0]]

but the commands for ircop (! kill! akill! mode! ignore), do not work.
The system always gives the answer "access denied"
At this point I wonder if you have to enable something on OperServ, or some other form IT TAKES?
thanks

[Jan Milants]

based on the version reply flags in your answer, you have oper commands disabled in your configuration.

This is controlled by the EnOperCmds and SAdminOverride configuration directives which you copied from the installation instructions to the services.conf.. (you were meant to read those btw.. )

[tusaichi]

Thank you for responding.
Could you be more detailed? Maybe saying what I should materially enabled. Thanks again

[Jan Milants]

Uhm.. it can't get much more detailed... you have to change the EnOperCmds and SAdminOverride configuration directives, that s all...
