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

22 > o) Minor code cleanups/performance improvements
23 > o) Fixed bug where opers could see LOCOPS messages even if they don't have
24 >   the +l mode set
25 > o) Fixed bug where non-SSL clients could join +S channels on non-SSL servers

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

63 >   prevents users from sending messages including control codes to a channel
64 >   that has this mode set
65 > o) Fixed bug where bans were not checked against non-channel members when
66 >   sending messages to a channel
