-- ircd-hybrid-8beta1 Release Notes |
2 |
o) Implemented full services support. Among other things, the following changes |
3 |
have been done for this: |
4 |
- Added SVSNICK, and SVSMODE command handlers |
5 |
- Added service stamps to NICK/UID messages |
6 |
- Usermode +r (registered nick) has been added, as well as |
7 |
channelmode +r (registered channel) |
8 |
- Now that usermode +r has a different function than before, rejected |
9 |
client notices now go to new usermode +j |
10 |
- Various services shortcuts have been added (/NS, /CS, /NICKSERV, /CHANSERV, etc.) |
11 |
- Added channelmode +R (only registered clients may join that channel) |
12 |
- Added usermode +R (only registered clients may send a private message) |
13 |
- Added services{} block to ircd.conf |
14 |
- Added services_name directive to general{} block |
15 |
o) RKLINE and RXLINE commands have been removed. Regular expression based |
16 |
bans should only be added via ircd.conf |
17 |
o) Added 'globops', 'restart', 'dline', 'undline' and 'module' operator privilege flags. |
18 |
Read doc/example.conf for further explanation of what these flags |
19 |
are supposed to be doing |
20 |
o) Idle-time klines have been removed |
21 |
o) Cleaned up modules API. Old modules won't work anymore |
22 |
o) Remove general::burst_away configuration directive. AWAY bursts are now |
23 |
controlled via connect::flags explicitly |
24 |
o) Introduced new logging subsystem including log rotation based on |
25 |
file sizes |
26 |
o) Added support for remote D-lines |
27 |
o) Added usermode +H which is basically a replacement for the hidden_admin and |
28 |
hidden_oper operator flags. With usermode +H, irc operator status can now |
29 |
be hidden even on remote servers |
30 |
o) The servlink program has been removed. ircd-hybrid can now make use of SSL/TLS |
31 |
for inter-server communication. |
32 |
NOTE: compressed server links are of course still available, but a SSL/TLS |
33 |
connection is required, as compression is now handled via the OpenSSL library |
34 |
o) Oper login IDs are no longer limited to NICKLEN*2 |
35 |
o) Removed channel::burst_topicwho configuration option. Topicsetters are |
36 |
now sent by default |
