1 michael 9371 -- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.31 (2020-05-03)
2     o) macOS compatibility fixes
3     o) Removed 'spoof_notice' from auth::flags. With vhosts now this notice doesn't make
4     much sense anymore
5     o) Fixed issue where ban masks might become malformed if set by remote clients/servers
6     o) Fixed issue with channel mode +c where high ascii characters can be erroneously
7     detected as control characters
8     o) For a full list of all changes in this release, see https://git.io/JfsmV

11 michael 9309 -- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.30 (2020-03-01)
12 michael 9292 o) "QUOTE HELP extban" didn't work because the extban help file hasn't been
13 michael 9309 installed properly during 'make install'
14 michael 9292 o) Fixed broken libcrypto detection which caused the ircd not to work with
15     openssl under certain circumstances
16     o) Extban $n of type 'acting' has been implemented. This extban prevents
17     matching users from changing their nick while in the channel. Users
18     with voice or above are not affected.
19 michael 9309 o) Channel mode +N has been changed so channel members with +v can change
20     their nick name as well

22 michael 9292
23    
24     -- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.29 (2020-02-19)
25     o) Extbans have been implemented. Currently supported extbans:
26    
27     Matching:
28    
29     $a:<account> Matches users logged into a matching account.
30     $c:<channel> Matches users that are on the given channel. An additional
31     prefix of either @, %, or + can be specified to test for
32     certain channel privileges.
33     $o:<class> Matches IRC operators that have joined a class
34     matching the mask.
35     $r:<realname> Matches users with a matching realname.
36     $s:<server> Matches users that are connected to a server matching the mask.
37     $u:<modes> Matches users having the specified user modes set or not set.
38     $z:<certfp> Matches users having the given TLS certificate fingerprint.
39    
40     Acting:
41    
42     $j:<banmask> Prevents matching users from joining the channel.
43     $m:<banmask> Blocks messages from matching users. Users with voice
44     or above are not affected.
45    
46     For more details, see help/extban.
47     o) Added 'channel::enable_extbans' configuration option. See doc/reference.conf
48     for more information.

60     -- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.27 (2020-01-22)
61 michael 9196 o) Experimental support for wolfSSL has been implemented. Minimum supported version is 4.3.0
62     o) The --enable-openssl, --enable-gnutls switches, and their disabling counterparts
63     --disable-openssl and --disable-gnutls, have been replaced with the --with-tls switch
64     which takes one of the following options: 'openssl', 'wolfssl', 'gnutls', and 'none'.
65     If nothing has been specified, configure tries to autodetect in the following order:
66     openssl/libressl -> gnutls -> wolfssl.
67 michael 9068 o) Fixed segfault with GnuTLS/libgmp in case there's no DH parameters file
68     defined in 'serverinfo::ssl_dh_param_file' or if that file is missing
69 michael 9096 o) The connection timeout for connect{} blocks can now be configured via
70     the 'connect::timeout' configuration directive
71 michael 9155 o) Minimum supported OpenSSL version is 1.1.1 now
72 michael 9161 o) Minimum supported GnuTLS version is 3.6.5 now
73 michael 9155 o) Supported TLSv1.3 cipher suites can now be configured explicitely via the
74     new 'serverinfo::tls_cipher_suites' configuration directive
75     o) In the serverinfo {} block, the following configuration directives have been renamed:
76     ssl_certificate_file -> tls_certificate_file
77     ssl_dh_param_file -> tls_dh_param_file
78     ssl_dh_elliptic_curve -> tls_supported_groups
79     ssl_cipher_list -> tls_cipher_list
80     ssl_message_digest_algorithm -> tls_message_digest_algorithm
81     o) In the operator {} block, the following configuration directives have been renamed:
82     ssl_certificate_fingerprint -> tls_certificate_fingerprint
83     ssl_connection_required -> tls_connection_required
84     o) In the connect {} block, the following configuration directives have been renamed:
85     ssl_cipher_list -> tls_cipher_list
86     ssl_certificate_fingerprint -> tls_certificate_fingerprint
87 michael 9232 o) For a full list of all changes in this release, see https://git.io/Jvq9g
88 michael 9068
89    
90 michael 9052 -- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.26 (2019-05-31)
91     o) The 'general::tkline_expire_notices' configuration directive has been
92     replaced with user mode 'X'. *LINE expiration notices are sent to IRC
93     operators with that mode set
94     o) Fixed issue with '/rehash conf' creating duplicated class entries
95     instead of updating existing ones that are already in use
96     o) For a full list of all changes in this release, see https://git.io/fjEbq

99 michael 9052 -- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.25 (2019-04-24)
100     o) The 'class::number_per_ip', 'class::max_local' and 'class::max_global'
101     configuration directives have been replaced with just 'class::number_per_ip_local'
102     and 'class::number_per_ip_global'. The 'class::max_local' basically was
103     redundant as it had the same functionality as 'class::number_per_ip'
104     o) Adding RESVs with wildcards no longer requires administrator privileges
105     o) The 'general::ignore_bogus_ts' configuration option has been deprecated
106     o) TLSv1.1 and TLSv1.0 are no longer supported and have been disabled in
107     the openssl and gnutls module
108     o) Minimum supported OpenSSL version is 1.0.1f now
109     o) Minimum supported GnuTLS version is 3.5.8 now
110     o) The 'serverinfo::vhost' and 'serverinfo:vhost6' configuration directives have
111     been deprecated. If you need to bind() a specific address you can specify one
112     in the connect {} block
113     o) The 'connect::vhost' configuration directive has been renamed to 'connect::bind'
114     o) For a full list of all changes in this release, see https://git.io/fjRVk
115    
116

126     o) irc-operators are now able to see a user's resolved hostname in /whowas,
127     and /whois even if the user has a fakehost/vhost
128     o) RPL_WELCOME now does use the rfc2812 style nick!user@host format
129     o) Removed rudimentary libgeoip support
130     o) Added --enable-efence switch to allow easy linking with the
131     electric fence memory debugger library
132     o) "JOIN 0" is no longer supported
133     o) Fixed bug where ircd would not remove RPL_WHOISOPERATOR based svstags
134     when deoppering
135     o) Fixed 'unknown closes' statistic in "STATS t" showing invalid values sometimes
136 michael 9052 o) For a full list of all changes in this release, see https://git.io/fjRVq
137 michael 8429
138    
139 michael 8086 -- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.22 (2017-03-26)
140     o) Implemented channel mode 'L'. Channels with that mode set can make use of an
141     extended ban list size specified with the new 'channel::max_bans_large'
142     configuraton option. This mode can be set only by irc-operators or servers.
143     o) Implemented channel mode 'u' which hides bmask (+b/+e/+I) lists and mode changes
144     to non-chanops everywhere
145     o) Fixed an issue with "TRACE" where remote servers would reply with RPL_TRACEUSER
146     numerics containing UIDs
147     o) "STATS z" now shows simple memory stats of servers linked to the network

877 michael 1244 - Added SVSNICK, and SVSMODE command handlers
878     - Added service stamps to NICK/UID messages
879 michael 1409 - Added SVS to server capabilities (CAPAB). SVS capable servers can
880 michael 1420 deal with extended NICK/UID messages that contain service IDs/stamps.
881 lusky 1580 - Changed rejected client notices to go to new usermode +j. These
882     previously used usermode +r.
883     - Added usermode +r (registered nick) and channelmode +r (registered channel)
884     - Added usermode +R (only registered clients may send a private message)
885     - Added channelmode +R (only registered clients may join that channel)
886 michael 1244 - Various services shortcuts have been added (/NS, /CS, /NICKSERV, /CHANSERV, etc.)
887 michael 5524 - Added services {} block to ircd.conf
888     - Added services_name directive to general {} block

894 lusky 1580 these flags control

896 michael 1244 o) Cleaned up modules API. Old modules won't work anymore

898     controlled via 'connect::flags' explicitly

900 michael 1418 file sizes. Log timestamp format is ISO8601 now
901 michael 1315 o) Added support for remote D-lines
902     o) Added usermode +H which is basically a replacement for the hidden_admin and
903     hidden_oper operator flags. With usermode +H, irc operator status can now
904     be hidden even on remote servers
905 michael 5524 o) Added CIDR support for operator {} blocks
906 lusky 1580 o) Removed the servlink program. ircd-hybrid can now make use of
907     SSL/TLS for inter-server communication.
908 michael 1315 NOTE: compressed server links are of course still available, but a SSL/TLS
909 lusky 1580 connection is required, as compression is now handled via OpenSSL
910 michael 1418 o) Removed 'ssl_server_protocol' configuration directive and
911     added 'ssl_client_method' and 'ssl_server_method' instead.
912     Both of these options can now be changed at runtime
913 michael 1382 o) Oper login IDs are no longer limited to NICKLEN*2

917     o) Added m_webirc.c to contrib/
