533 |
o) Implemented full services support, including but not limited to the |
534 |
following changes: |
535 |
- Added SVSNICK, and SVSMODE command handlers |
536 |
- Added service stamps to NICK/UID messages |
537 |
- Added SVS to server capabilities (CAPAB). SVS capable servers can |
538 |
deal with extended NICK/UID messages that contain service IDs/stamps. |
539 |
- Changed rejected client notices to go to new usermode +j. These |
540 |
previously used usermode +r. |
541 |
- Added usermode +r (registered nick) and channelmode +r (registered channel) |
542 |
- Added usermode +R (only registered clients may send a private message) |
543 |
- Added channelmode +R (only registered clients may join that channel) |
544 |
- Various services shortcuts have been added (/NS, /CS, /NICKSERV, /CHANSERV, etc.) |
545 |
- Added services {} block to ircd.conf |
546 |
- Added services_name directive to general {} block |
547 |
- Added GLOBOPS mainly for services compatibility, but can be used by operators, too |
548 |
o) Removed RKLINE and RXLINE commands. Regular expression based bans should |
549 |
only be added via ircd.conf |
550 |
o) Added 'globops', 'restart', 'dline', 'undline' and 'module' operator |
551 |
privilege flags. Read doc/reference.conf for further explanation of what |
552 |
these flags control |
553 |
o) Removed Idle-time klines |
554 |
o) Cleaned up modules API. Old modules won't work anymore |
555 |
o) Removed general::burst_away configuration directive. AWAY bursts are now |
556 |
controlled via connect::flags explicitly |
557 |
o) Introduced new logging subsystem including log rotation based on |
558 |
file sizes. Log timestamp format is ISO8601 now |
559 |
o) Added support for remote D-lines |
560 |
o) Added usermode +H which is basically a replacement for the hidden_admin and |
561 |
hidden_oper operator flags. With usermode +H, irc operator status can now |
562 |
be hidden even on remote servers |
563 |
o) Added CIDR support for operator {} blocks |
564 |
o) Removed the servlink program. ircd-hybrid can now make use of |
565 |
SSL/TLS for inter-server communication. |
566 |
NOTE: compressed server links are of course still available, but a SSL/TLS |
567 |
connection is required, as compression is now handled via OpenSSL |
568 |
o) Removed 'ssl_server_protocol' configuration directive and |
569 |
added 'ssl_client_method' and 'ssl_server_method' instead. |
570 |
Both of these options can now be changed at runtime |
571 |
o) Oper login IDs are no longer limited to NICKLEN*2 |
572 |
o) Removed channel::burst_topicwho configuration option. Topicsetters are |
573 |
now sent by default |
574 |
o) "STATS Y|y" now reports CIDR limits as well |
575 |
o) Added m_webirc.c to contrib/ |
576 |
o) Overall code cleanup and speed improvements |
