9     o) channel::disable_fake_channels now also disables ascii 29 (mIRC italic)
10     when set to yes
11 michael 1432 o) Added channel::max_chans_per_oper configuration directive. The old way
12     was to let ircops join three times the amount of max_chans_per_user
13 michael 1441 o) Replaced MODLOAD, MODUNLOAD, MODRELOAD, MODLIST and MODRESTART commands
14     with the new MODULE command which can be fed with the LOAD, UNLOAD, RELOAD
15     and LIST parameters.
16     MODRESTART has been entirely removed. Use "MODULE RELOAD *" to reload all modules

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