--disable-openssl and --disable-gnutls, have been replaced with the --with-tls switch |
| 51 |
|
|
which takes one of the following options: 'openssl', 'wolfssl', 'gnutls', and 'none'. |

| 63 |
|
|
ssl_certificate_file -> tls_certificate_file |
| 64 |
|
|
ssl_dh_param_file -> tls_dh_param_file |

replaced with user mode 'X'. *LINE expiration notices are sent to IRC |
| 80 |
|
|
operators with that mode set |
| 81 |
|

| 82 |

|
|
configuration directives have been replaced with just 'class::number_per_ip_local' |

|
redundant as it had the same functionality as 'class::number_per_ip' |
| 91 |
|
|

| 128 |
|
|
extended ban list size specified with the new 'channel::max_bans_large' |
| 129 |
|
|
configuraton option. This mode can be set only by irc-operators or servers. |
| 130 |
|
|
o) Implemented channel mode 'u' which hides bmask (+b/+e/+I) lists and mode changes |
| 131 |
|
|
to non-chanops everywhere |
| 132 |
|
|
o) Fixed an issue with "TRACE" where remote servers would reply with RPL_TRACEUSER |
| 133 |
|
|
numerics containing UIDs |
| 134 |

|
|
to be disabled explicitely by using the --disable-openssl switch. |

1244 |
- Added SVSNICK, and SVSMODE command handlers |
| 864 |
|
|
- Added service stamps to NICK/UID messages |
| 865 |
michael |
1409 |
- Added SVS to server capabilities (CAPAB). SVS capable servers can |
| 866 |
michael |
1420 |
deal with extended NICK/UID messages that contain service IDs/stamps. |
| 867 |
lusky |
1580 |
- Changed rejected client notices to go to new usermode +j. These |
| 868 |
|
|
previously used usermode +r. |
| 869 |
|
|
- Added usermode +r (registered nick) and channelmode +r (registered channel) |
| 870 |
|
|
- Added usermode +R (only registered clients may send a private message) |
| 871 |
|
|
- Added channelmode +R (only registered clients may join that channel) |
| 872 |
michael |
1244 |
- Various services shortcuts have been added (/NS, /CS, /NICKSERV, /CHANSERV, etc.) |
| 873 |

5524 |
- Added services {} block to ircd.conf |
| 874 |
|
|
- Added services_name directive to general {} block |
| 875 |
michael |
1421 |
- Added GLOBOPS mainly for services compatibility, but can be used by operators, too |
| 876 |
lusky |
1580 |
o) Removed RKLINE and RXLINE commands. Regular expression based bans should |
| 877 |
|
|
only be added via ircd.conf |
| 878 |
|
|
o) Added 'globops', 'restart', 'dline', 'undline' and 'module' operator |
| 879 |
michael |
1823 |
privilege flags. Read doc/reference.conf for further explanation of what |
| 880 |
lusky |
1580 |
these flags control |
| 881 |
|
|
o) Removed Idle-time klines |
| 882 |
michael |
1244 |
o) Cleaned up modules API. Old modules won't work anymore |
| 883 |
michael |
6738 |
o) Removed 'general::burst_away' configuration directive. AWAY bursts are now |
| 884 |
|
|
controlled via 'connect::flags' explicitly |
| 885 |
michael |
1274 |
o) Introduced new logging subsystem including log rotation based on |
| 886 |
michael |
1418 |
file sizes. Log timestamp format is ISO8601 now |
| 887 |
michael |
1315 |
o) Added support for remote D-lines |
| 888 |
|
|
o) Added usermode +H which is basically a replacement for the hidden_admin and |
| 889 |
|
|
hidden_oper operator flags. With usermode +H, irc operator status can now |
| 890 |
|
|
be hidden even on remote servers |
| 891 |
michael |
5524 |
o) Added CIDR support for operator {} blocks |
| 892 |
lusky |
1580 |
o) Removed the servlink program. ircd-hybrid can now make use of |
| 893 |
|
|
SSL/TLS for inter-server communication. |
| 894 |
michael |
1315 |
NOTE: compressed server links are of course still available, but a SSL/TLS |
| 895 |
lusky |
1580 |
connection is required, as compression is now handled via OpenSSL |
| 896 |
michael |
1418 |
o) Removed 'ssl_server_protocol' configuration directive and |
| 897 |
|
|
added 'ssl_client_method' and 'ssl_server_method' instead. |
| 898 |
|
|
Both of these options can now be changed at runtime |
| 899 |
michael |
1382 |
o) Oper login IDs are no longer limited to NICKLEN*2 |
| 900 |
michael |
6738 |
o) Removed 'channel::burst_topicwho' configuration option. This feature is now |
| 901 |
|
|
enabled by default |
| 902 |
michael |
1418 |
o) "STATS Y|y" now reports CIDR limits as well |
| 903 |
|
|
o) Added m_webirc.c to contrib/ |
