10     o) channel::disable_fake_channels now also disables ascii 29 (mIRC italic)
11     when set to yes
12 michael 1432 o) Added channel::max_chans_per_oper configuration directive. The old way
13     was to let ircops join three times the amount of max_chans_per_user
14 michael 1441 o) Replaced MODLOAD, MODUNLOAD, MODRELOAD, MODLIST and MODRESTART commands
15     with the new MODULE command which can be fed with the LOAD, UNLOAD, RELOAD
16     and LIST parameters.
17     MODRESTART has been entirely removed. Use "MODULE RELOAD *" to reload all modules
18 michael 1442 o) Added back server notice when a client tries to obtain a reserved nick name
19 michael 1446 o) Removed OMOTD module
20 michael 1460 o) Added 'set' to operator privilege flags. Gives access to the "SET" command

22 michael 1424
23 michael 1441
24 michael 1245 -- ircd-hybrid-8beta1 Release Notes
25 michael 1244 o) Implemented full services support. Among other things, the following changes
26     have been done for this:
27     - Added SVSNICK, and SVSMODE command handlers
28     - Added service stamps to NICK/UID messages
29 michael 1409 - Added SVS to server capabilities (CAPAB). SVS capable servers can
30 michael 1420 deal with extended NICK/UID messages that contain service IDs/stamps.
31 michael 1244 - Usermode +r (registered nick) has been added, as well as
32 michael 1274 channelmode +r (registered channel)
33     - Now that usermode +r has a different function than before, rejected
34     client notices now go to new usermode +j
35 michael 1244 - Various services shortcuts have been added (/NS, /CS, /NICKSERV, /CHANSERV, etc.)
36     - Added channelmode +R (only registered clients may join that channel)
37     - Added usermode +R (only registered clients may send a private message)
38     - Added services{} block to ircd.conf
39     - Added services_name directive to general{} block
40 michael 1421 - Added GLOBOPS mainly for services compatibility, but can be used by operators, too
41 michael 1244 o) RKLINE and RXLINE commands have been removed. Regular expression based
42     bans should only be added via ircd.conf
43 michael 1315 o) Added 'globops', 'restart', 'dline', 'undline' and 'module' operator privilege flags.
44     Read doc/example.conf for further explanation of what these flags
45 michael 1274 are supposed to be doing
46 michael 1244 o) Idle-time klines have been removed
47     o) Cleaned up modules API. Old modules won't work anymore
48 michael 1274 o) Remove general::burst_away configuration directive. AWAY bursts are now
49     controlled via connect::flags explicitly
50     o) Introduced new logging subsystem including log rotation based on
51 michael 1418 file sizes. Log timestamp format is ISO8601 now
52 michael 1315 o) Added support for remote D-lines
53     o) Added usermode +H which is basically a replacement for the hidden_admin and
54     hidden_oper operator flags. With usermode +H, irc operator status can now
55     be hidden even on remote servers
56 michael 1418 o) Added CIDR support for operator{} blocks
57 michael 1315 o) The servlink program has been removed. ircd-hybrid can now make use of SSL/TLS
58     for inter-server communication.
59     NOTE: compressed server links are of course still available, but a SSL/TLS
60     connection is required, as compression is now handled via the OpenSSL library
61 michael 1418 o) Removed 'ssl_server_protocol' configuration directive and
62     added 'ssl_client_method' and 'ssl_server_method' instead.
63     Both of these options can now be changed at runtime
64 michael 1382 o) Oper login IDs are no longer limited to NICKLEN*2
65 michael 1401 o) Removed channel::burst_topicwho configuration option. Topicsetters are
66     now sent by default
67 michael 1418 o) "STATS Y|y" now reports CIDR limits as well
68     o) Added m_webirc.c to contrib/
69 michael 1409 o) Overall code cleanup and speed improvements
