19 -- ircd-hybrid-8beta2 Release Notes
20 o) channel::disable_fake_channels now also disables ascii 29 (mIRC italic)
21 when set to yes
22 o) Added channel::max_chans_per_oper configuration directive. The old way
23 was to let ircops join three times the amount of max_chans_per_user
24 o) Replaced MODLOAD, MODUNLOAD, MODRELOAD, MODLIST and MODRESTART commands
25 with the new MODULE command which can be fed with the LOAD, UNLOAD, RELOAD
26 and LIST parameters.
27 MODRESTART has been entirely removed. Use "MODULE RELOAD *" to reload all modules

29 o) Removed OMOTD module
30 o) Added 'set' to operator privilege flags. Gives access to the "SET" command
31 o) Improved TS6 support

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