2     o) channel::disable_fake_channels now also disables ascii 29 (mIRC italic)
3     when set to yes
4 michael 1432 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 michael 1441 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 michael 1442 o) Added back server notice when a client tries to obtain a reserved nick name
11 michael 1446 o) Removed OMOTD module
12 michael 1460 o) Added 'set' to operator privilege flags. Gives access to the "SET" command

15 michael 1245 -- ircd-hybrid-8beta1 Release Notes
16 michael 1244 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 michael 1409 - Added SVS to server capabilities (CAPAB). SVS capable servers can
21 michael 1420 deal with extended NICK/UID messages that contain service IDs/stamps.
22 michael 1244 - Usermode +r (registered nick) has been added, as well as
23 michael 1274 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 michael 1244 - 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 michael 1421 - Added GLOBOPS mainly for services compatibility, but can be used by operators, too
32 michael 1244 o) RKLINE and RXLINE commands have been removed. Regular expression based
33     bans should only be added via ircd.conf
34 michael 1315 o) Added 'globops', 'restart', 'dline', 'undline' and 'module' operator privilege flags.
35     Read doc/example.conf for further explanation of what these flags
36 michael 1274 are supposed to be doing
37 michael 1244 o) Idle-time klines have been removed
38     o) Cleaned up modules API. Old modules won't work anymore
39 michael 1274 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 michael 1418 file sizes. Log timestamp format is ISO8601 now
43 michael 1315 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 michael 1418 o) Added CIDR support for operator{} blocks
48 michael 1315 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 michael 1418 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 michael 1382 o) Oper login IDs are no longer limited to NICKLEN*2
56 michael 1401 o) Removed channel::burst_topicwho configuration option. Topicsetters are
57     now sent by default
58 michael 1418 o) "STATS Y|y" now reports CIDR limits as well
59     o) Added m_webirc.c to contrib/
60 michael 1409 o) Overall code cleanup and speed improvements
