1 -- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.26 (2019-05-31)
2 o) The 'general::tkline_expire_notices' configuration directive has been
3 replaced with user mode 'X'. *LINE expiration notices are sent to IRC
4 operators with that mode set

20 o) Minimum supported GnuTLS version is 3.5.8 now
21 o) The 'serverinfo::vhost' and 'serverinfo:vhost6' configuration directives have
22 been deprecated. If you need to bind() a specific address you can specify one
23 in the connect {} block
24 o) The 'connect::vhost' configuration directive has been renamed to 'connect::bind'

53 configuraton option. This mode can be set only by irc-operators or servers.
54 o) Implemented channel mode 'u' which hides bmask (+b/+e/+I) lists and mode changes
55 to non-chanops everywhere
56 o) Fixed an issue with "TRACE" where remote servers would reply with RPL_TRACEUSER
57 numerics containing UIDs
58 o) "STATS z" now shows simple memory stats of servers linked to the network
59 o) Added support for remote "ETRACE"

811 o) Removed the servlink program. ircd-hybrid can now make use of
812 SSL/TLS for inter-server communication.
813 NOTE: compressed server links are of course still available, but a SSL/TLS
814 connection is required, as compression is now handled via OpenSSL
815 o) Removed 'ssl_server_protocol' configuration directive and
816 added 'ssl_client_method' and 'ssl_server_method' instead.
817 Both of these options can now be changed at runtime
818 o) Oper login IDs are no longer limited to NICKLEN*2
