2     ########################################################################
3     o) IMPORTANT: database files and links.txt are now stored in /var/lib
4     instead of /etc, so make sure to move your k/d/x-line database files
5     to the new path before (re)starting the ircd
6     ########################################################################
7     o) IMPORTANT: the splitmode logic has been removed along with the
8     following channel {} block configuration directives:
9     'default_split_user_count', 'default_split_server_count',
10     'no_create_on_split', 'no_join_on_split'
11     ########################################################################
12     o) Added 'xline_exempt' to auth {} block flags
13     o) serverinfo::sid is now optional. A unique SID is now automatically
14     generated based on the server's name and description
15     o) Various fixes to the mkpasswd tool
16     o) If supported by the compiler, ircd-hybrid now compiles with
17     '-fstack-protector-strong' instead of '-fstack-protector'
18     o) Services can now add RESVs (SQLINEs) that have wildcards in it
19     o) Channel name RESVs are now sanity checked for too broad masks
20     o) class::connectfreq now works properly with values lower than 300 seconds
21     o) Implemented IRCv3.1 account-notify extension
22     o) The general::oper_pass_resv configuration directive has been deprecated
23     in favor of the new 'join:resv', and 'nick:resv' irc-operator flags.
24     See doc/reference.conf for more information.
25     o) Added 'resv', and 'unresv' irc-operator flags. Previously, all
26     irc-operators were allowed to RESV and UNRESV, regardless of configured
27     privileges.

29     o) ircd is using ISO 8601 date and time notation in most places now

33     o) ircd now rejects remote k-line requests for user@host mask that don't
34     have at least general::min_nonwildcard non-wildcard characters in it

36     they potentially could leak passwords and other sensitive data to irc
37     operators that don't have administrator privileges
38     o) The GLINE/GUNGLINE commands have been removed. KLINE in conjunction
39     with cluster {} and/or shared {} blocks is now the recommended
40     way to add global user@host mask based server bans

614     be hidden even on remote servers
615 michael 5524 o) Added CIDR support for operator {} blocks
616 lusky 1580 o) Removed the servlink program. ircd-hybrid can now make use of
617     SSL/TLS for inter-server communication.
618 michael 1315 NOTE: compressed server links are of course still available, but a SSL/TLS
619 lusky 1580 connection is required, as compression is now handled via OpenSSL
