# User Rev Content
1 michael 9068 -- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.27 (2019-??-??)
2     o) Fixed segfault with GnuTLS/libgmp in case there's no DH parameters file
3     defined in 'serverinfo::ssl_dh_param_file' or if that file is missing
4 michael 9096 o) The connection timeout for connect{} blocks can now be configured via
5     the 'connect::timeout' configuration directive
6 michael 9068
7    
8 michael 9052 -- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.26 (2019-05-31)
9     o) The 'general::tkline_expire_notices' configuration directive has been
10     replaced with user mode 'X'. *LINE expiration notices are sent to IRC
11     operators with that mode set
12     o) Fixed issue with '/rehash conf' creating duplicated class entries
13     instead of updating existing ones that are already in use

17 michael 9052 -- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.25 (2019-04-24)
18     o) The 'class::number_per_ip', 'class::max_local' and 'class::max_global'
19     configuration directives have been replaced with just 'class::number_per_ip_local'
20     and 'class::number_per_ip_global'. The 'class::max_local' basically was
21     redundant as it had the same functionality as 'class::number_per_ip'
22     o) Adding RESVs with wildcards no longer requires administrator privileges
23     o) The 'general::ignore_bogus_ts' configuration option has been deprecated
24     o) TLSv1.1 and TLSv1.0 are no longer supported and have been disabled in
25     the openssl and gnutls module
26     o) Minimum supported OpenSSL version is 1.0.1f now
27     o) Minimum supported GnuTLS version is 3.5.8 now
28     o) The 'serverinfo::vhost' and 'serverinfo:vhost6' configuration directives have
29     been deprecated. If you need to bind() a specific address you can specify one
30     in the connect {} block
31     o) The 'connect::vhost' configuration directive has been renamed to 'connect::bind'
32     o) For a full list of all changes in this release, see https://git.io/fjRVk

44     o) irc-operators are now able to see a user's resolved hostname in /whowas,
45     and /whois even if the user has a fakehost/vhost
46     o) RPL_WELCOME now does use the rfc2812 style nick!user@host format
47     o) Removed rudimentary libgeoip support
48     o) Added --enable-efence switch to allow easy linking with the
49     electric fence memory debugger library
50     o) "JOIN 0" is no longer supported

56    
57 michael 8086 -- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.22 (2017-03-26)
58     o) Implemented channel mode 'L'. Channels with that mode set can make use of an
59     extended ban list size specified with the new 'channel::max_bans_large'
60     configuraton option. This mode can be set only by irc-operators or servers.
61     o) Implemented channel mode 'u' which hides bmask (+b/+e/+I) lists and mode changes
62     to non-chanops everywhere
63     o) Fixed an issue with "TRACE" where remote servers would reply with RPL_TRACEUSER
64     numerics containing UIDs

84     the 'channel::invite_expire_time' configuration directive
85     o) /whois notices to operators have been re-added. User mode +y is required

131    
132     -- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.14 (2016-02-09)

145     o) Implemented support for GnuTLS. Currently ./configure's autodetection
146     intentionally prefers OpenSSL over GnuTLS, so OpenSSL detection needs

192 michael 7043 o) Removed CHALLENGE in favor of ssl certificate fingerprint enabled
193 michael 6738 operator {} blocks
194     o) RSA keys with less than 2048 bits are no longer supported; same applies

773 lusky 1580 was to let operators join three times the amount of max_chans_per_user
774 michael 1441 o) Replaced MODLOAD, MODUNLOAD, MODRELOAD, MODLIST and MODRESTART commands
775     with the new MODULE command which can be fed with the LOAD, UNLOAD, RELOAD
776     and LIST parameters.

778     all modules

786 michael 3054 -- Noteworthy changes in version 8.0.0beta1 (2012-05-28)
787 lusky 1580 o) Implemented full services support, including but not limited to the
788     following changes:
789 michael 1244 - Added SVSNICK, and SVSMODE command handlers
790     - Added service stamps to NICK/UID messages
791 michael 1409 - Added SVS to server capabilities (CAPAB). SVS capable servers can
792 michael 1420 deal with extended NICK/UID messages that contain service IDs/stamps.
793 lusky 1580 - Changed rejected client notices to go to new usermode +j. These
794     previously used usermode +r.
795     - Added usermode +r (registered nick) and channelmode +r (registered channel)
796     - Added usermode +R (only registered clients may send a private message)
797     - Added channelmode +R (only registered clients may join that channel)
798 michael 1244 - Various services shortcuts have been added (/NS, /CS, /NICKSERV, /CHANSERV, etc.)
799 michael 5524 - Added services {} block to ircd.conf
800     - Added services_name directive to general {} block
801 michael 1421 - Added GLOBOPS mainly for services compatibility, but can be used by operators, too
802 lusky 1580 o) Removed RKLINE and RXLINE commands. Regular expression based bans should
803     only be added via ircd.conf
804     o) Added 'globops', 'restart', 'dline', 'undline' and 'module' operator
805 michael 1823 privilege flags. Read doc/reference.conf for further explanation of what
806 lusky 1580 these flags control
807     o) Removed Idle-time klines
808 michael 1244 o) Cleaned up modules API. Old modules won't work anymore
809 michael 6738 o) Removed 'general::burst_away' configuration directive. AWAY bursts are now
810     controlled via 'connect::flags' explicitly
811 michael 1274 o) Introduced new logging subsystem including log rotation based on
812 michael 1418 file sizes. Log timestamp format is ISO8601 now
813 michael 1315 o) Added support for remote D-lines
814     o) Added usermode +H which is basically a replacement for the hidden_admin and
815     hidden_oper operator flags. With usermode +H, irc operator status can now
816     be hidden even on remote servers
817 michael 5524 o) Added CIDR support for operator {} blocks
818 lusky 1580 o) Removed the servlink program. ircd-hybrid can now make use of
819     SSL/TLS for inter-server communication.
820 michael 1315 NOTE: compressed server links are of course still available, but a SSL/TLS
821 lusky 1580 connection is required, as compression is now handled via OpenSSL
822 michael 1418 o) Removed 'ssl_server_protocol' configuration directive and
823     added 'ssl_client_method' and 'ssl_server_method' instead.
824     Both of these options can now be changed at runtime
825 michael 1382 o) Oper login IDs are no longer limited to NICKLEN*2
826 michael 6738 o) Removed 'channel::burst_topicwho' configuration option. This feature is now
827     enabled by default
828 michael 1418 o) "STATS Y|y" now reports CIDR limits as well
829     o) Added m_webirc.c to contrib/
830 michael 1409 o) Overall code cleanup and speed improvements
