85 |

86 |

-- ircd-hybrid-8beta1 Release Notes |
98 |
o) Implemented full services support, including but not limited to the |
99 |
following changes: |
100 |
- Added SVSNICK, and SVSMODE command handlers |
101 |
- Added service stamps to NICK/UID messages |
102 |
- Added SVS to server capabilities (CAPAB). SVS capable servers can |
103 |
deal with extended NICK/UID messages that contain service IDs/stamps. |
104 |
- Changed rejected client notices to go to new usermode +j. These |
105 |
previously used usermode +r. |
106 |
- Added usermode +r (registered nick) and channelmode +r (registered channel) |
107 |
- Added usermode +R (only registered clients may send a private message) |
108 |
- Added channelmode +R (only registered clients may join that channel) |
109 |
- Various services shortcuts have been added (/NS, /CS, /NICKSERV, /CHANSERV, etc.) |
110 |
- Added services{} block to ircd.conf |
111 |
- Added services_name directive to general{} block |
112 |
- Added GLOBOPS mainly for services compatibility, but can be used by operators, too |
113 |
o) Removed RKLINE and RXLINE commands. Regular expression based bans should |
114 |
only be added via ircd.conf |
115 |
o) Added 'globops', 'restart', 'dline', 'undline' and 'module' operator |
116 |
privilege flags. Read doc/example.conf for further explanation of what |
117 |
these flags control |
118 |
o) Removed Idle-time klines |
119 |
o) Cleaned up modules API. Old modules won't work anymore |
120 |
o) Removed general::burst_away configuration directive. AWAY bursts are now |
121 |
controlled via connect::flags explicitly |
122 |
o) Introduced new logging subsystem including log rotation based on |
123 |
file sizes. Log timestamp format is ISO8601 now |
124 |
o) Added support for remote D-lines |
125 |
o) Added usermode +H which is basically a replacement for the hidden_admin and |
126 |
hidden_oper operator flags. With usermode +H, irc operator status can now |
127 |
be hidden even on remote servers |
128 |
o) Added CIDR support for operator{} blocks |
129 |
o) Removed the servlink program. ircd-hybrid can now make use of |
130 |
SSL/TLS for inter-server communication. |
131 |
NOTE: compressed server links are of course still available, but a SSL/TLS |
132 |
connection is required, as compression is now handled via OpenSSL |
133 |
o) Removed 'ssl_server_protocol' configuration directive and |
134 |
added 'ssl_client_method' and 'ssl_server_method' instead. |
135 |
Both of these options can now be changed at runtime |
136 |
o) Oper login IDs are no longer limited to NICKLEN*2 |
137 |
o) Removed channel::burst_topicwho configuration option. Topicsetters are |
138 |
now sent by default |
139 |
o) "STATS Y|y" now reports CIDR limits as well |
140 |
o) Added m_webirc.c to contrib/ |
141 |
o) Overall code cleanup and speed improvements |
