52 |
extended ban list size specified with the new 'channel::max_bans_large' |
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 |

-- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.13 (2016-02-02) |
138 |
o) Implemented support for GnuTLS. Currently ./configure's autodetection |
139 |
intentionally prefers OpenSSL over GnuTLS, so OpenSSL detection needs |
140 |
to be disabled explicitely by using the --disable-openssl switch. |
141 |
o) Minimum supported GnuTLS version is 3.3.8 now |
142 |
o) Minimum supported OpenSSL version is 1.0.1d now |

-- Noteworthy changes in version 8.0.0beta2 (2012-07-21) |

o) 'channel::disable_fake_channels' now also disables ascii 29 (mIRC italic) |
764 |
when set to yes |
765 |
o) Added 'channel::max_chans_per_oper' configuration directive. The old way |
766 |
was to let operators join three times the amount of max_chans_per_user |
767 |
o) Replaced MODLOAD, MODUNLOAD, MODRELOAD, MODLIST and MODRESTART commands |
768 |
with the new MODULE command which can be fed with the LOAD, UNLOAD, RELOAD |
769 |
and LIST parameters. |
770 |
MODRESTART has been entirely removed. Use "MODULE RELOAD *" to reload |
771 |
all modules |
772 |
o) Added back server notice when a client tries to obtain a reserved nick name |
773 |
o) Removed OMOTD module |

-- Noteworthy changes in version 8.0.0beta1 (2012-05-28) |
780 |
o) Implemented full services support, including but not limited to the |
781 |
following changes: |
782 |
- Added SVSNICK, and SVSMODE command handlers |
783 |
- Added service stamps to NICK/UID messages |
784 |
- Added SVS to server capabilities (CAPAB). SVS capable servers can |
785 |
deal with extended NICK/UID messages that contain service IDs/stamps. |
786 |
- Changed rejected client notices to go to new usermode +j. These |
787 |
previously used usermode +r. |
788 |
- Added usermode +r (registered nick) and channelmode +r (registered channel) |
789 |
- Added usermode +R (only registered clients may send a private message) |
790 |
- Added channelmode +R (only registered clients may join that channel) |
791 |
- Various services shortcuts have been added (/NS, /CS, /NICKSERV, /CHANSERV, etc.) |
792 |
- Added services {} block to ircd.conf |
793 |
- Added services_name directive to general {} block |
794 |
- Added GLOBOPS mainly for services compatibility, but can be used by operators, too |
795 |
o) Removed RKLINE and RXLINE commands. Regular expression based bans should |
796 |
only be added via ircd.conf |
797 |
o) Added 'globops', 'restart', 'dline', 'undline' and 'module' operator |
798 |
privilege flags. Read doc/reference.conf for further explanation of what |
799 |
these flags control |
800 |
o) Removed Idle-time klines |
801 |
o) Cleaned up modules API. Old modules won't work anymore |
802 |
o) Removed 'general::burst_away' configuration directive. AWAY bursts are now |
803 |
controlled via 'connect::flags' explicitly |
804 |
o) Introduced new logging subsystem including log rotation based on |
805 |
file sizes. Log timestamp format is ISO8601 now |
806 |
o) Added support for remote D-lines |
807 |
o) Added usermode +H which is basically a replacement for the hidden_admin and |
808 |
hidden_oper operator flags. With usermode +H, irc operator status can now |
809 |
be hidden even on remote servers |
810 |
o) Added CIDR support for operator {} blocks |
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 |
819 |
o) Removed 'channel::burst_topicwho' configuration option. This feature is now |
820 |
enabled by default |
821 |
o) "STATS Y|y" now reports CIDR limits as well |
822 |
o) Added m_webirc.c to contrib/ |
823 |
o) Overall code cleanup and speed improvements |
