10 |

|
when set to yes |
11 |
michael |

13 |
michael |
1441 |
o) Replaced MODLOAD, MODUNLOAD, MODRELOAD, MODLIST and MODRESTART commands |
14 |

|
|
and LIST parameters. |

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 |
