170 |
not a specific action is allowed on a remote server can be controlled |
171 |
by appending the ':remote' flag. For example: 'kill' allows only local |
172 |
clients to be killed, whereas 'kill:remote' allows to issue a KILL for |
173 |

was to let operators join three times the amount of max_chans_per_user |
347 |
o) Replaced MODLOAD, MODUNLOAD, MODRELOAD, MODLIST and MODRESTART commands |
348 |
with the new MODULE command which can be fed with the LOAD, UNLOAD, RELOAD |

361 |
following changes: |
362 |
- Added SVSNICK, and SVSMODE command handlers |
363 |
- Added service stamps to NICK/UID messages |
364 |
- Added SVS to server capabilities (CAPAB). SVS capable servers can |
365 |
deal with extended NICK/UID messages that contain service IDs/stamps. |
366 |
- Changed rejected client notices to go to new usermode +j. These |
367 |
previously used usermode +r. |
368 |
- Added usermode +r (registered nick) and channelmode +r (registered channel) |
369 |
- Added usermode +R (only registered clients may send a private message) |
370 |
- Added channelmode +R (only registered clients may join that channel) |
371 |
- Various services shortcuts have been added (/NS, /CS, /NICKSERV, /CHANSERV, etc.) |
372 |
- Added services{} block to ircd.conf |
373 |
- Added services_name directive to general{} block |
374 |
- Added GLOBOPS mainly for services compatibility, but can be used by operators, too |
375 |
o) Removed RKLINE and RXLINE commands. Regular expression based bans should |
376 |
only be added via ircd.conf |
377 |
o) Added 'globops', 'restart', 'dline', 'undline' and 'module' operator |
378 |
privilege flags. Read doc/reference.conf for further explanation of what |
379 |
these flags control |
380 |
o) Removed Idle-time klines |
381 |
o) Cleaned up modules API. Old modules won't work anymore |
382 |
o) Removed general::burst_away configuration directive. AWAY bursts are now |
383 |
controlled via connect::flags explicitly |
384 |
o) Introduced new logging subsystem including log rotation based on |
385 |
file sizes. Log timestamp format is ISO8601 now |
386 |
o) Added support for remote D-lines |
387 |
o) Added usermode +H which is basically a replacement for the hidden_admin and |
388 |
hidden_oper operator flags. With usermode +H, irc operator status can now |
389 |
be hidden even on remote servers |
390 |
o) Added CIDR support for operator{} blocks |
391 |
o) Removed the servlink program. ircd-hybrid can now make use of |
392 |
SSL/TLS for inter-server communication. |
393 |
NOTE: compressed server links are of course still available, but a SSL/TLS |
394 |
connection is required, as compression is now handled via OpenSSL |
395 |
