-- ircd-hybrid-8.1.0beta5 Release Notes |
2 |
o) Removed 'remote', and 'global_kill' oper flags, and added 'connect', |
3 |
'squit', and 'kill' flags for better fine-tuning instead. Whether or |
4 |
not a specific action is allowed on a remote server can be controlled |
5 |
by appeding the ':remote' flag. For example: 'kill' allows only local |
6 |
clients to be killed, whereas 'kill:remote' allows to issue a KILL for |
7 |
remote clients |
8 |

28 |
sending messages to a channel |

180 |

181 |
with the new MODULE command which can be fed with the LOAD, UNLOAD, RELOAD |

194 |
following changes: |
195 |
- Added SVSNICK, and SVSMODE command handlers |
196 |
- Added service stamps to NICK/UID messages |
197 |
- Added SVS to server capabilities (CAPAB). SVS capable servers can |
198 |
deal with extended NICK/UID messages that contain service IDs/stamps. |
199 |
- Changed rejected client notices to go to new usermode +j. These |
200 |
previously used usermode +r. |
201 |
- Added usermode +r (registered nick) and channelmode +r (registered channel) |
202 |
- Added usermode +R (only registered clients may send a private message) |
203 |
- Added channelmode +R (only registered clients may join that channel) |
204 |
- Various services shortcuts have been added (/NS, /CS, /NICKSERV, /CHANSERV, etc.) |
205 |
- Added services{} block to ircd.conf |
206 |
- Added services_name directive to general{} block |
207 |
- Added GLOBOPS mainly for services compatibility, but can be used by operators, too |
208 |
o) Removed RKLINE and RXLINE commands. Regular expression based bans should |
209 |
only be added via ircd.conf |
210 |
o) Added 'globops', 'restart', 'dline', 'undline' and 'module' operator |
211 |
privilege flags. Read doc/reference.conf for further explanation of what |
212 |
these flags control |
213 |
o) Removed Idle-time klines |
214 |
o) Cleaned up modules API. Old modules won't work anymore |
215 |
o) Removed general::burst_away configuration directive. AWAY bursts are now |
216 |
controlled via connect::flags explicitly |
217 |
o) Introduced new logging subsystem including log rotation based on |
218 |
file sizes. Log timestamp format is ISO8601 now |
219 |
o) Added support for remote D-lines |
220 |
o) Added usermode +H which is basically a replacement for the hidden_admin and |
221 |
hidden_oper operator flags. With usermode +H, irc operator status can now |
222 |
be hidden even on remote servers |
223 |
o) Added CIDR support for operator{} blocks |
224 |
o) Removed the servlink program. ircd-hybrid can now make use of |
225 |
SSL/TLS for inter-server communication. |
226 |
NOTE: compressed server links are of course still available, but a SSL/TLS |
227 |
connection is required, as compression is now handled via OpenSSL |
228 |
o) Removed 'ssl_server_protocol' configuration directive and |
229 |
added 'ssl_client_method' and 'ssl_server_method' instead. |
230 |
Both of these options can now be changed at runtime |
231 |
o) Oper login IDs are no longer limited to NICKLEN*2 |
232 |
o) Removed channel::burst_topicwho configuration option. Topicsetters are |
233 |
now sent by default |
234 |
o) "STATS Y|y" now reports CIDR limits as well |
235 |
o) Added m_webirc.c to contrib/ |
236 |
o) Overall code cleanup and speed improvements |
