19 |
|
|
o) Removed 'remote', and 'global_kill' oper flags, and added 'connect', |
20 |

not a specific action is allowed on a remote server can be controlled |
22 |
michael |
2155 |
by appending the ':remote' flag. For example: 'kill' allows only local |
23 |
michael |
2012 |
clients to be killed, whereas 'kill:remote' allows to issue a KILL for |
24 |
|
|
remote clients |

michael |
1441 |
o) Replaced MODLOAD, MODUNLOAD, MODRELOAD, MODLIST and MODRESTART commands |
203 |

o) Implemented full services support, including but not limited to the |
216 |
|
|
following changes: |
217 |
michael |
1244 |
- Added SVSNICK, and SVSMODE command handlers |
218 |
|
|
- Added service stamps to NICK/UID messages |
219 |
michael |
1409 |
- Added SVS to server capabilities (CAPAB). SVS capable servers can |
220 |
michael |
1420 |
deal with extended NICK/UID messages that contain service IDs/stamps. |
221 |
lusky |
1580 |
- Changed rejected client notices to go to new usermode +j. These |
222 |
|
|
previously used usermode +r. |
223 |
|
|
- Added usermode +r (registered nick) and channelmode +r (registered channel) |
224 |
|
|
- Added usermode +R (only registered clients may send a private message) |
225 |
|
|
- Added channelmode +R (only registered clients may join that channel) |
226 |
michael |
1244 |
- Various services shortcuts have been added (/NS, /CS, /NICKSERV, /CHANSERV, etc.) |
227 |
|
|
- Added services{} block to ircd.conf |
228 |
|
|
- Added services_name directive to general{} block |
229 |
michael |
1421 |
- Added GLOBOPS mainly for services compatibility, but can be used by operators, too |
230 |
lusky |
1580 |
o) Removed RKLINE and RXLINE commands. Regular expression based bans should |
231 |
|
|
only be added via ircd.conf |
232 |
|
|
o) Added 'globops', 'restart', 'dline', 'undline' and 'module' operator |
233 |
michael |
1823 |
privilege flags. Read doc/reference.conf for further explanation of what |
234 |
lusky |
1580 |
these flags control |
235 |
|
|
o) Removed Idle-time klines |
236 |
michael |
1244 |
o) Cleaned up modules API. Old modules won't work anymore |
237 |
lusky |
1580 |
o) Removed general::burst_away configuration directive. AWAY bursts are now |
238 |
michael |
1274 |
controlled via connect::flags explicitly |
239 |
|
|
o) Introduced new logging subsystem including log rotation based on |
240 |
michael |
1418 |
file sizes. Log timestamp format is ISO8601 now |
241 |
michael |
1315 |
o) Added support for remote D-lines |
242 |
|
|
o) Added usermode +H which is basically a replacement for the hidden_admin and |
243 |
|
|
hidden_oper operator flags. With usermode +H, irc operator status can now |
244 |
|
|
be hidden even on remote servers |
245 |
michael |
1418 |
o) Added CIDR support for operator{} blocks |
246 |
lusky |
1580 |
o) Removed the servlink program. ircd-hybrid can now make use of |
247 |
|
|
SSL/TLS for inter-server communication. |
248 |
michael |
1315 |
NOTE: compressed server links are of course still available, but a SSL/TLS |
249 |
lusky |
1580 |
connection is required, as compression is now handled via OpenSSL |
250 |
michael |
1418 |
o) Removed 'ssl_server_protocol' configuration directive and |
251 |
|
|
added 'ssl_client_method' and 'ssl_server_method' instead. |
252 |
|
|
Both of these options can now be changed at runtime |
253 |
michael |
1382 |
o) Oper login IDs are no longer limited to NICKLEN*2 |
254 |
michael |
1401 |
o) Removed channel::burst_topicwho configuration option. Topicsetters are |
255 |
|
|
now sent by default |
256 |
michael |
1418 |
o) "STATS Y|y" now reports CIDR limits as well |
257 |
|
|
o) Added m_webirc.c to contrib/ |
258 |
michael |
1409 |
o) Overall code cleanup and speed improvements |
