-- ircd-hybrid-8beta2 Release Notes |
2 |
o) channel::disable_fake_channels now also disables ascii 29 (mIRC italic) |
3 |
when set to yes |
4 |
o) Added channel::max_chans_per_oper configuration directive. The old way |
5 |
was to let ircops join three times the amount of max_chans_per_user |
6 |
o) Replaced MODLOAD, MODUNLOAD, MODRELOAD, MODLIST and MODRESTART commands |
7 |
with the new MODULE command which can be fed with the LOAD, UNLOAD, RELOAD |
8 |
and LIST parameters. |
9 |
MODRESTART has been entirely removed. Use "MODULE RELOAD *" to reload all modules |
10 |
o) Added back server notice when a client tries to obtain a reserved nick name |
11 |
o) Removed OMOTD module |
12 |
o) Added 'set' to operator privilege flags. Gives access to the "SET" command |
13 |

-- ircd-hybrid-8beta1 Release Notes |
16 |
o) Implemented full services support. Among other things, the following changes |
17 |
have been done for this: |
18 |
- Added SVSNICK, and SVSMODE command handlers |
19 |
- Added service stamps to NICK/UID messages |
20 |
- Added SVS to server capabilities (CAPAB). SVS capable servers can |
21 |
deal with extended NICK/UID messages that contain service IDs/stamps. |
22 |
- Usermode +r (registered nick) has been added, as well as |
23 |
channelmode +r (registered channel) |
24 |
- Now that usermode +r has a different function than before, rejected |
25 |
client notices now go to new usermode +j |
26 |
- Various services shortcuts have been added (/NS, /CS, /NICKSERV, /CHANSERV, etc.) |
27 |
- Added channelmode +R (only registered clients may join that channel) |
28 |
- Added usermode +R (only registered clients may send a private message) |
29 |
- Added services{} block to ircd.conf |
30 |
- Added services_name directive to general{} block |
31 |
- Added GLOBOPS mainly for services compatibility, but can be used by operators, too |
32 |
o) RKLINE and RXLINE commands have been removed. Regular expression based |
33 |
bans should only be added via ircd.conf |
34 |
o) Added 'globops', 'restart', 'dline', 'undline' and 'module' operator privilege flags. |
35 |
Read doc/example.conf for further explanation of what these flags |
36 |
are supposed to be doing |
37 |
o) Idle-time klines have been removed |
38 |
o) Cleaned up modules API. Old modules won't work anymore |
39 |
o) Remove general::burst_away configuration directive. AWAY bursts are now |
40 |
controlled via connect::flags explicitly |
41 |
o) Introduced new logging subsystem including log rotation based on |
42 |
file sizes. Log timestamp format is ISO8601 now |
43 |
o) Added support for remote D-lines |
44 |
o) Added usermode +H which is basically a replacement for the hidden_admin and |
45 |
hidden_oper operator flags. With usermode +H, irc operator status can now |
46 |
be hidden even on remote servers |
47 |
o) Added CIDR support for operator{} blocks |
48 |
o) The servlink program has been removed. ircd-hybrid can now make use of SSL/TLS |
49 |
for inter-server communication. |
50 |
NOTE: compressed server links are of course still available, but a SSL/TLS |
51 |
connection is required, as compression is now handled via the OpenSSL library |
52 |
o) Removed 'ssl_server_protocol' configuration directive and |
53 |
added 'ssl_client_method' and 'ssl_server_method' instead. |
54 |
Both of these options can now be changed at runtime |
55 |
o) Oper login IDs are no longer limited to NICKLEN*2 |
56 |
o) Removed channel::burst_topicwho configuration option. Topicsetters are |
57 |
now sent by default |
58 |
o) "STATS Y|y" now reports CIDR limits as well |
59 |
o) Added m_webirc.c to contrib/ |
60 |
o) Overall code cleanup and speed improvements |
