31     when set to yes

33     was to let ircops join three times the amount of max_chans_per_user
34 michael 1441 o) Replaced MODLOAD, MODUNLOAD, MODRELOAD, MODLIST and MODRESTART commands
35     with the new MODULE command which can be fed with the LOAD, UNLOAD, RELOAD

45 michael 1245 -- ircd-hybrid-8beta1 Release Notes
46 michael 1244 o) Implemented full services support. Among other things, the following changes
47     have been done for this:
48     - Added SVSNICK, and SVSMODE command handlers
49     - Added service stamps to NICK/UID messages
50 michael 1409 - Added SVS to server capabilities (CAPAB). SVS capable servers can
51 michael 1420 deal with extended NICK/UID messages that contain service IDs/stamps.
52 michael 1244 - Usermode +r (registered nick) has been added, as well as
53 michael 1274 channelmode +r (registered channel)
54     - Now that usermode +r has a different function than before, rejected
55     client notices now go to new usermode +j
56 michael 1244 - Various services shortcuts have been added (/NS, /CS, /NICKSERV, /CHANSERV, etc.)
57     - Added channelmode +R (only registered clients may join that channel)
58     - Added usermode +R (only registered clients may send a private message)
59     - Added services{} block to ircd.conf
60     - Added services_name directive to general{} block
61 michael 1421 - Added GLOBOPS mainly for services compatibility, but can be used by operators, too
62 michael 1244 o) RKLINE and RXLINE commands have been removed. Regular expression based
63     bans should only be added via ircd.conf
64 michael 1315 o) Added 'globops', 'restart', 'dline', 'undline' and 'module' operator privilege flags.
65     Read doc/example.conf for further explanation of what these flags
66 michael 1274 are supposed to be doing
67 michael 1244 o) Idle-time klines have been removed
68     o) Cleaned up modules API. Old modules won't work anymore
69 michael 1274 o) Remove general::burst_away configuration directive. AWAY bursts are now
70     controlled via connect::flags explicitly
71     o) Introduced new logging subsystem including log rotation based on
72 michael 1418 file sizes. Log timestamp format is ISO8601 now
73 michael 1315 o) Added support for remote D-lines
74     o) Added usermode +H which is basically a replacement for the hidden_admin and
75     hidden_oper operator flags. With usermode +H, irc operator status can now
76     be hidden even on remote servers
77 michael 1418 o) Added CIDR support for operator{} blocks
78 michael 1315 o) The servlink program has been removed. ircd-hybrid can now make use of SSL/TLS
79     for inter-server communication.
80     NOTE: compressed server links are of course still available, but a SSL/TLS
81     connection is required, as compression is now handled via the OpenSSL library
82 michael 1418 o) Removed 'ssl_server_protocol' configuration directive and
83     added 'ssl_client_method' and 'ssl_server_method' instead.
84     Both of these options can now be changed at runtime
85 michael 1382 o) Oper login IDs are no longer limited to NICKLEN*2
86 michael 1401 o) Removed channel::burst_topicwho configuration option. Topicsetters are
87     now sent by default
88 michael 1418 o) "STATS Y|y" now reports CIDR limits as well
89     o) Added m_webirc.c to contrib/
90 michael 1409 o) Overall code cleanup and speed improvements
