o) Removed RKLINE and RXLINE commands. Regular expression based bans should |
| 293 |
|
|
only be added via ircd.conf |
| 294 |
|
|
o) Added 'globops', 'restart', 'dline', 'undline' and 'module' operator |
| 295 |
michael |
1823 |
privilege flags. Read doc/reference.conf for further explanation of what |
| 296 |
lusky |
1580 |
these flags control |
| 297 |
|
|
o) Removed Idle-time klines |
| 298 |
michael |
1244 |
o) Cleaned up modules API. Old modules won't work anymore |
| 299 |
lusky |
1580 |
o) Removed general::burst_away configuration directive. AWAY bursts are now |
| 300 |
michael |
1274 |
controlled via connect::flags explicitly |
| 301 |
|
|

| 302 |
michael |
1418 |

| 304 |
|
|
o) Added usermode +H which is basically a replacement for the hidden_admin and |

be hidden even on remote servers |
| 307 |
michael |
1418 |
o) Added CIDR support for operator{} blocks |
| 308 |
lusky |
1580 |

SSL/TLS for inter-server communication. |
| 310 |
michael |
1315 |
NOTE: compressed server links are of course still available, but a SSL/TLS |
| 311 |
lusky |
1580 |
connection is required, as compression is now handled via OpenSSL |
| 312 |
michael |
1418 |
o) Removed 'ssl_server_protocol' configuration directive and |
| 313 |
|
|
added 'ssl_client_method' and 'ssl_server_method' instead. |

|
Both of these options can now be changed at runtime |
| 315 |
michael |
1382 |
o) Oper login IDs are no longer limited to NICKLEN*2 |
| 316 |

1401 |

| 317 |
|
|
now sent by default |
| 318 |
michael |
1418 |
o) "STATS Y|y" now reports CIDR limits as well |
| 319 |
|
|
o) Added m_webirc.c to contrib/ |
