1 michael 1245 -- ircd-hybrid-8beta1 Release Notes
2 michael 1244 o) Implemented full services support. Among other things, the following changes
3     have been done for this:
4     - Added SVSNICK, and SVSMODE command handlers
5     - Added service stamps to NICK/UID messages
6 michael 1409 - Added SVS to server capabilities (CAPAB). SVS capable servers can
7 michael 1420 deal with extended NICK/UID messages that contain service IDs/stamps.
8 michael 1244 - Usermode +r (registered nick) has been added, as well as
9 michael 1274 channelmode +r (registered channel)
10     - Now that usermode +r has a different function than before, rejected
11     client notices now go to new usermode +j
12 michael 1244 - Various services shortcuts have been added (/NS, /CS, /NICKSERV, /CHANSERV, etc.)
13     - Added channelmode +R (only registered clients may join that channel)
14     - Added usermode +R (only registered clients may send a private message)
15     - Added services{} block to ircd.conf
16     - Added services_name directive to general{} block
17 michael 1420 - Added GLOBOPS mainly for services compatibily, but can be used by operators, too
18 michael 1244 o) RKLINE and RXLINE commands have been removed. Regular expression based
19     bans should only be added via ircd.conf
20 michael 1315 o) Added 'globops', 'restart', 'dline', 'undline' and 'module' operator privilege flags.
21     Read doc/example.conf for further explanation of what these flags
22 michael 1274 are supposed to be doing
23 michael 1244 o) Idle-time klines have been removed
24     o) Cleaned up modules API. Old modules won't work anymore
25 michael 1274 o) Remove general::burst_away configuration directive. AWAY bursts are now
26     controlled via connect::flags explicitly
27     o) Introduced new logging subsystem including log rotation based on
28 michael 1418 file sizes. Log timestamp format is ISO8601 now
29 michael 1315 o) Added support for remote D-lines
30     o) Added usermode +H which is basically a replacement for the hidden_admin and
31     hidden_oper operator flags. With usermode +H, irc operator status can now
32     be hidden even on remote servers
33 michael 1418 o) Added CIDR support for operator{} blocks
34 michael 1315 o) The servlink program has been removed. ircd-hybrid can now make use of SSL/TLS
35     for inter-server communication.
36     NOTE: compressed server links are of course still available, but a SSL/TLS
37     connection is required, as compression is now handled via the OpenSSL library
38 michael 1418 o) Removed 'ssl_server_protocol' configuration directive and
39     added 'ssl_client_method' and 'ssl_server_method' instead.
40     Both of these options can now be changed at runtime
41 michael 1382 o) Oper login IDs are no longer limited to NICKLEN*2
42 michael 1401 o) Removed channel::burst_topicwho configuration option. Topicsetters are
43     now sent by default
44 michael 1418 o) "STATS Y|y" now reports CIDR limits as well
45     o) Added m_webirc.c to contrib/
46 michael 1409 o) Overall code cleanup and speed improvements
