13     to automatically identify for their nick with ssl certificate
14     fingerprints

16     doc/reference.conf for more information

21     Adam <adam@anope.org>

24 michael 2155 -- ircd-hybrid-8.1.1 Release Notes
25 michael 2196 ########################################################################

31     the +l mode set
32     o) Fixed bug where non-SSL clients could join +S channels on non-SSL servers

44    
45    
46 michael 2012 -- ircd-hybrid-8.1.0beta5 Release Notes
47     o) Removed 'remote', and 'global_kill' oper flags, and added 'connect',
48     'squit', and 'kill' flags for better fine-tuning instead. Whether or
49     not a specific action is allowed on a remote server can be controlled
50 michael 2155 by appending the ':remote' flag. For example: 'kill' allows only local
51 michael 2012 clients to be killed, whereas 'kill:remote' allows to issue a KILL for
52     remote clients
53 michael 2155 o) Added 'locops' and 'wallops' to irc-operator flags

71     that has this mode set
72 michael 1955 o) Fixed bug where bans were not checked against non-channel members when
73     sending messages to a channel

243 michael 1244 - Added SVSNICK, and SVSMODE command handlers
244     - Added service stamps to NICK/UID messages
245 michael 1409 - Added SVS to server capabilities (CAPAB). SVS capable servers can
246 michael 1420 deal with extended NICK/UID messages that contain service IDs/stamps.
247 lusky 1580 - Changed rejected client notices to go to new usermode +j. These
248     previously used usermode +r.
249     - Added usermode +r (registered nick) and channelmode +r (registered channel)
250     - Added usermode +R (only registered clients may send a private message)
251     - Added channelmode +R (only registered clients may join that channel)
252 michael 1244 - Various services shortcuts have been added (/NS, /CS, /NICKSERV, /CHANSERV, etc.)
253     - Added services{} block to ircd.conf
254     - Added services_name directive to general{} block
255 michael 1421 - Added GLOBOPS mainly for services compatibility, but can be used by operators, too
256 lusky 1580 o) Removed RKLINE and RXLINE commands. Regular expression based bans should
257     only be added via ircd.conf
258     o) Added 'globops', 'restart', 'dline', 'undline' and 'module' operator
259 michael 1823 privilege flags. Read doc/reference.conf for further explanation of what
260 lusky 1580 these flags control
261     o) Removed Idle-time klines
262 michael 1244 o) Cleaned up modules API. Old modules won't work anymore
263 lusky 1580 o) Removed general::burst_away configuration directive. AWAY bursts are now
264 michael 1274 controlled via connect::flags explicitly
265     o) Introduced new logging subsystem including log rotation based on
266 michael 1418 file sizes. Log timestamp format is ISO8601 now
267 michael 1315 o) Added support for remote D-lines
268     o) Added usermode +H which is basically a replacement for the hidden_admin and
269     hidden_oper operator flags. With usermode +H, irc operator status can now
270     be hidden even on remote servers
271 michael 1418 o) Added CIDR support for operator{} blocks
272 lusky 1580 o) Removed the servlink program. ircd-hybrid can now make use of
273     SSL/TLS for inter-server communication.
274 michael 1315 NOTE: compressed server links are of course still available, but a SSL/TLS
275 lusky 1580 connection is required, as compression is now handled via OpenSSL
276 michael 1418 o) Removed 'ssl_server_protocol' configuration directive and
277     added 'ssl_client_method' and 'ssl_server_method' instead.
278     Both of these options can now be changed at runtime
279 michael 1382 o) Oper login IDs are no longer limited to NICKLEN*2
280 michael 1401 o) Removed channel::burst_topicwho configuration option. Topicsetters are
281     now sent by default
282 michael 1418 o) "STATS Y|y" now reports CIDR limits as well
283     o) Added m_webirc.c to contrib/
284 michael 1409 o) Overall code cleanup and speed improvements
