1 michael 2258 -- ircd-hybrid-8.1.2 Release Notes
2     o) Added support for SHA-256 ssl certificate fingerprint based operator{}
3     and connect{} blocks.
4     In conjunction with Anope 1.9.x IRC-services, clients are now also able
5     to automatically identify for their nick with ssl certificate
6     fingerprints
7     o) Added operator::ssl_connection_required configuration option. See
8     doc/reference.conf for more information
9     o) Added usermode +S (client is connected via SSL/TLS). Allows services
10     to keep track of what users are connected via SSL, and allows to see
11     ssl-status of remote clients in a /whois
12     o) Fixed a server name leak with server hiding enabled. Reported by
13     Adam <adam@anope.org>

39     o) Removed 'remote', and 'global_kill' oper flags, and added 'connect',
40     'squit', and 'kill' flags for better fine-tuning instead. Whether or
41     not a specific action is allowed on a remote server can be controlled
42 michael 2155 by appending the ':remote' flag. For example: 'kill' allows only local
43 michael 2012 clients to be killed, whereas 'kill:remote' allows to issue a KILL for
44     remote clients

65     sending messages to a channel

235 michael 1244 - Added SVSNICK, and SVSMODE command handlers
236     - Added service stamps to NICK/UID messages
237 michael 1409 - Added SVS to server capabilities (CAPAB). SVS capable servers can
238 michael 1420 deal with extended NICK/UID messages that contain service IDs/stamps.
239 lusky 1580 - Changed rejected client notices to go to new usermode +j. These
240     previously used usermode +r.
241     - Added usermode +r (registered nick) and channelmode +r (registered channel)
242     - Added usermode +R (only registered clients may send a private message)
243     - Added channelmode +R (only registered clients may join that channel)
244 michael 1244 - Various services shortcuts have been added (/NS, /CS, /NICKSERV, /CHANSERV, etc.)
245     - Added services{} block to ircd.conf
246     - Added services_name directive to general{} block

248 lusky 1580 o) Removed RKLINE and RXLINE commands. Regular expression based bans should
249     only be added via ircd.conf
250     o) Added 'globops', 'restart', 'dline', 'undline' and 'module' operator
251 michael 1823 privilege flags. Read doc/reference.conf for further explanation of what
252 lusky 1580 these flags control
253     o) Removed Idle-time klines
254 michael 1244 o) Cleaned up modules API. Old modules won't work anymore

256 michael 1274 controlled via connect::flags explicitly

258 michael 1418 file sizes. Log timestamp format is ISO8601 now
259 michael 1315 o) Added support for remote D-lines
260     o) Added usermode +H which is basically a replacement for the hidden_admin and
261     hidden_oper operator flags. With usermode +H, irc operator status can now
262     be hidden even on remote servers
263 michael 1418 o) Added CIDR support for operator{} blocks
264 lusky 1580 o) Removed the servlink program. ircd-hybrid can now make use of
265     SSL/TLS for inter-server communication.
266 michael 1315 NOTE: compressed server links are of course still available, but a SSL/TLS
267 lusky 1580 connection is required, as compression is now handled via OpenSSL
268 michael 1418 o) Removed 'ssl_server_protocol' configuration directive and
269     added 'ssl_client_method' and 'ssl_server_method' instead.
270     Both of these options can now be changed at runtime
271 michael 1382 o) Oper login IDs are no longer limited to NICKLEN*2

275     o) Added m_webirc.c to contrib/
276 michael 1409 o) Overall code cleanup and speed improvements
