19 >
20 > -- ircd-hybrid-8beta1 Release Notes
21 > o) Implemented full services support. Among other things, the following changes
22 >   have been done for this:
23 >   - Added SVSNICK, and SVSMODE command handlers
24 >   - Added service stamps to NICK/UID messages
25 >   - Added SVS to server capabilities (CAPAB). SVS capable servers can
26 >     deal with extended NICK/UID messages that contain service IDs/stamps.
27 >   - Usermode +r (registered nick) has been added, as well as
28 >     channelmode +r (registered channel)
29 >   - Now that usermode +r has a different function than before, rejected
30 >     client notices now go to new usermode +j
31 >   - Various services shortcuts have been added (/NS, /CS, /NICKSERV, /CHANSERV, etc.)
32 >   - Added channelmode +R (only registered clients may join that channel)
33 >   - Added usermode +R (only registered clients may send a private message)
34 >   - Added services{} block to ircd.conf
35 >   - Added services_name directive to general{} block
36 >   - Added GLOBOPS mainly for services compatibility, but can be used by operators, too
37 > o) RKLINE and RXLINE commands have been removed. Regular expression based
38 >   bans should only be added via ircd.conf
39 > o) Added 'globops', 'restart', 'dline', 'undline' and 'module' operator privilege flags.
40 >   Read doc/example.conf for further explanation of what these flags
41 >   are supposed to be doing
42 > o) Idle-time klines have been removed
43 > o) Cleaned up modules API. Old modules won't work anymore
44 > o) Remove general::burst_away configuration directive. AWAY bursts are now
45 >   controlled via connect::flags explicitly
46 > o) Introduced new logging subsystem including log rotation based on
47 >   file sizes. Log timestamp format is ISO8601 now
48 > o) Added support for remote D-lines
49 > o) Added usermode +H which is basically a replacement for the hidden_admin and
50 >   hidden_oper operator flags. With usermode +H, irc operator status can now
51 >   be hidden even on remote servers
52 > o) Added CIDR support for operator{} blocks
53 > o) The servlink program has been removed. ircd-hybrid can now make use of SSL/TLS
54 >   for inter-server communication.
55 >   NOTE: compressed server links are of course still available, but a SSL/TLS
56 >   connection is required, as compression is now handled via the OpenSSL library
57 > o) Removed 'ssl_server_protocol' configuration directive and
58 >   added 'ssl_client_method' and 'ssl_server_method' instead.
59 >   Both of these options can now be changed at runtime
60 > o) Oper login IDs are no longer limited to NICKLEN*2
61 > o) Removed channel::burst_topicwho configuration option. Topicsetters are
62 >   now sent by default
63 > o) "STATS Y|y" now reports CIDR limits as well
64 > o) Added m_webirc.c to contrib/
65 > o) Overall code cleanup and speed improvements
