7    
8     -- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.32 (2020-08-16)
9     * `RESV` couldn't be issued in case no reason has been supplied. This has been fixed.
10     * Fixed possible `RPL_WHOISCHANNELS` line truncation of remote replies
11     * Extban $t of type `matching` has been implemented. This extban allows matching
12     based on TLS protocol version and/or cipher suite
13     * Implemented channel mode `K`. `KNOCK` cannot be used on channels with that mode set
14     * `STATS ?` is now oper-only
15     * For a full list of all changes in this release, see <https://git.io/JUZa1>

18 michael 9371 -- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.31 (2020-05-03)
19 michael 9652 * macOS compatibility fixes
20     * Removed `spoof_notice` from `auth::flags`. With vhosts now this notice doesn't make
21     much sense anymore
22     * Fixed issue where ban masks might become malformed if set by remote clients/servers
23     * Fixed issue with channel mode +c where high ascii characters can be erroneously
24     detected as control characters
25     * For a full list of all changes in this release, see <https://git.io/JUZa6>
26 michael 9371
27    
28 michael 9309 -- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.30 (2020-03-01)
29 michael 9654 * `QUOTE HELP extban` didn't work because the extban help file hasn't been
30 michael 9652 installed properly during `make install`
31     * Fixed broken libcrypto detection which caused the ircd not to work with
32     openssl under certain circumstances
33     * Extban $n of type `acting` has been implemented. This extban prevents
34     matching users from changing their nick while in the channel. Users
35     with voice or above are not affected.
36     * Channel mode +N has been changed so channel members with +v can change
37     their nick name as well
38     * For a full list of all changes in this release, see <https://git.io/JfOyF>
39 michael 9292
40    
41     -- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.29 (2020-02-19)

43 michael 9292
44 michael 9652 Matching:
45 michael 9666
46     * `$a:<account>` Matches users logged into a matching account.
47     * `$c:<channel>` Matches users that are on the given channel. An additional
48     prefix of either @, %, or + can be specified to test for
49     certain channel privileges.
50     * `$o:<class>` Matches IRC operators that have joined a class
51     matching the mask.
52     * `$r:<realname>` Matches users with a matching realname.
53     * `$s:<server>` Matches users that are connected to a server matching the mask.

58 michael 9292
59 michael 9666 * `$j:<banmask>` Prevents matching users from joining the channel.
60     * `$m:<banmask>` Blocks messages from matching users. Users with voice
61     or above are not affected.
62    
63     For more details, see `help/extban`.
64 michael 9658 * Added `channel::enable_extbans` configuration option. See `doc/reference.conf`
65 michael 9652 for more information.

73     from bypassing channel bans by activating a fakehost
74     * For a full list of all changes in this release, see <https://git.io/Jv37M>
75 michael 9232
76    
77     -- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.27 (2020-01-22)
78 michael 9652 * Experimental support for wolfSSL has been implemented. Minimum supported version is 4.3.0
79     * The `--enable-openssl`, `--enable-gnutls` switches, and their disabling counterparts
80     `--disable-openssl` and `--disable-gnutls`, have been replaced with the `--with-tls`
81     switch which takes one of the following options: `openssl`, `wolfssl`, `gnutls`,
82     and `none`.
83     If nothing has been specified, configure tries to autodetect in the following order:
84     openssl/libressl -> gnutls -> wolfssl.
85     * Fixed segfault with GnuTLS/libgmp in case there's no DH parameters file
86     defined in `serverinfo::ssl_dh_param_file` or if that file is missing
87     * The connection timeout for connect{} blocks can now be configured via
88     the `connect::timeout` configuration directive
89     * Minimum supported OpenSSL version is 1.1.1 now
90     * Minimum supported GnuTLS version is 3.6.5 now
91     * Supported TLSv1.3 cipher suites can now be configured explicitely via the
92     new `serverinfo::tls_cipher_suites` configuration directive
93     * In the serverinfo {} block, the following configuration directives have been renamed:
94     `ssl_certificate_file` -> `tls_certificate_file`
95     `ssl_dh_param_file` -> `tls_dh_param_file`
96     `ssl_dh_elliptic_curve` -> `tls_supported_groups`
97     `ssl_cipher_list` -> `tls_cipher_list`
98     `ssl_message_digest_algorithm` -> `tls_message_digest_algorithm`
99     * In the operator {} block, the following configuration directives have been renamed:
100     `ssl_certificate_fingerprint -> `tls_certificate_fingerprint`
101     `ssl_connection_required -> `tls_connection_required`
102     * In the connect {} block, the following configuration directives have been renamed:
103     `ssl_cipher_list -> `tls_cipher_list`
104     `ssl_certificate_fingerprint -> `tls_certificate_fingerprint`
105     * For a full list of all changes in this release, see <https://git.io/Jvq9g>
106 michael 9068
107    
108 michael 9052 -- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.26 (2019-05-31)
109 michael 9652 * The `general::tkline_expire_notices` configuration directive has been
110     replaced with user mode `X`. *LINE expiration notices are sent to IRC
111     operators with that mode set
112     * Fixed issue with `/rehash conf` creating duplicated class entries
113     instead of updating existing ones that are already in use
114     * For a full list of all changes in this release, see <https://git.io/fjEbq>

118 michael 9652 * The `class::number_per_ip`, `class::max_local` and `class::max_global`
119     configuration directives have been replaced with just `class::number_per_ip_local`
120     and `class::number_per_ip_global`. The `class::max_local` basically was
121     redundant as it had the same functionality as `class::number_per_ip`
122     * Adding RESVs with wildcards no longer requires administrator privileges
123     * The `general::ignore_bogus_ts` configuration option has been deprecated
124     * TLSv1.1 and TLSv1.0 are no longer supported and have been disabled in
125     the openssl and gnutls module
126     * Minimum supported OpenSSL version is 1.0.1f now
127     * Minimum supported GnuTLS version is 3.5.8 now
128     * The `serverinfo::vhost` and `serverinfo:vhost6` configuration directives have
129     been deprecated. If you need to bind() a specific address you can specify one
130     in the connect {} block
131     * The `connect::vhost` configuration directive has been renamed to `connect::bind`
132     * For a full list of all changes in this release, see <https://git.io/fjRVk>
133 michael 9052
134    
135 michael 8491 -- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.24 (2018-04-05)
136 michael 9652 * Added `STATS s` to show configured pseudo {} blocks
137     * Implemented channel mode `N` which prevents users from changing their
138     nick while in a channel with that mode set
139     * Services clients are now shown with `is a Network Service` in `WHOIS`
140     * For a full list of all changes in this release, see <https://git.io/fjRVt>

144 michael 9658 * IRC operators are now able to see a user's resolved hostname in /whowas,
145 michael 9652 and /whois even if the user has a fakehost/vhost
146     * `RPL_WELCOME` now does use the rfc2812 style nick!user@host format
147     * Removed rudimentary libgeoip support
148 michael 9656 * Added `--enable-efence` switch to allow easy linking with the
149 michael 9652 electric fence memory debugger library
150     * `JOIN 0` is no longer supported
151     * Fixed bug where ircd would not remove `RPL_WHOISOPERATOR` based svstags
152     when deoppering
153     * Fixed `unknown closes` statistic in `STATS t` showing invalid values sometimes
154     * For a full list of all changes in this release, see <https://git.io/fjRVq>
155 michael 8429
156    
157 michael 8086 -- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.22 (2017-03-26)
158 michael 9652 * Implemented channel mode `L`. Channels with that mode set can make use of an
159     extended ban list size specified with the new `channel::max_bans_large`
160 michael 9658 configuraton option. This mode can be set only by IRC operators or servers.
161 michael 9652 * Implemented channel mode `u` which hides bmask (+b/+e/+I) lists and mode changes
162     to non-chanops everywhere
163     * Fixed an issue with `TRACE` where remote servers would reply with `RPL_TRACEUSER`
164     numerics containing UIDs
165     * `STATS z` now shows simple memory stats of servers linked to the network
166     * Added support for remote `ETRACE`

171 michael 9652 * The `general::default_floodtime` configuration option has been added
172     along with the `SET FLOODTIME` command. These allow to fine-tune the
173     message throttling better

241     * For a full list of all changes in this release, see <https://git.io/fjR9f>
242 michael 7366
243    
244 michael 7204 -- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.13 (2016-02-02)
245 michael 9652 * Implemented support for GnuTLS. Currently ./configure's autodetection
246     intentionally prefers OpenSSL over GnuTLS, so OpenSSL detection needs
247 michael 9654 to be disabled explicitely by using the `--disable-openssl` switch.
248 michael 9652 * Minimum supported GnuTLS version is 3.3.8 now
249     * Minimum supported OpenSSL version is 1.0.1d now
250     * Added support for remote `REHASH`: `REHASH <server> <option>`

256    
257 michael 7043 -- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.12 (2016-01-05)
258 michael 9652 * **IMPORTANT:** Character case mapping is `ascii` now. It is recommended
259     to update all servers on the network to prevent possible channel
260     desynchronizations and nick name collision kills
261 michael 9658 * Added channel mode +T which forbids `NOTICE` to be sent to a channel
262 michael 9656 * Fixed minor `SVSTAG` memory leak
263     * Fixed broken `PART` message blocking mechanism
264 michael 9652 * ircd now makes use of up to 8 name servers that are specified in
265 michael 9658 `/etc/resolv.conf`
266 michael 9654 * The `-klinefile`, `-dlinefile`, etc. switches didn't work at all
267 michael 9652 * Fixed possible core on ident lookups if ircd is out of file descriptors
268     * Far client exit notices (+F) now show IP addresses, too
269     * Made idle time look nicer in `STATS v|p` by using a formatted time string
270     * `general::ts_warn_delta`, and `general::ts_max_delta` can be set to 0 now
271     * For a full list of all changes in this release, see <https://git.io/JvLtj>
272 michael 7043
273    
274 michael 6820 -- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.11 (2015-11-19)

279 michael 6820
280    
281 michael 6738 -- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.10 (2015-11-06)
282 michael 9652 * **IMPORTANT:** renamed `serverhide::links_delay` configuration directive
283     to `serverhide::flatten_links_delay`
284     * Added `serverhide::flatten_links_file` configuration option
285     * Fixed bug where changing `serverhide::flatten_links_delay` on runtime
286     would not have any effect
287     * mkpasswd (tools): fixed broken bcrypt support on *BSD in conjunction
288     with the -s and -l switches. Dropped MD5, DES and Extended DES support.
289 michael 9654 * Removed `CHALLENGE` in favor of ssl certificate fingerprint enabled
290 michael 9652 operator {} blocks
291     * RSA keys with less than 2048 bits are no longer supported; same applies
292     to the DH param file
293 michael 9658 * Added missing IRC operator privilege flags to `STATS o`. For a full list
294     of flags see `doc/reference.conf`
295 michael 9652 * For a full list of all changes in this release, see <https://git.io/JvLqJ>
296 michael 6738
297    
298 michael 6539 -- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.9 (2015-09-13)
299 michael 9656 * **IMPORTANT:** database files and links.txt are now stored in `/var/lib`
300     instead of `/etc`, so make sure to move your k/d/x-line database files
301 michael 9652 to the new path before (re)starting the ircd
302     * **IMPORTANT:** the splitmode logic has been removed along with the
303     following channel {} block configuration directives:
304     `default_split_user_count`, `default_split_server_count`,
305     `no_create_on_split`, `no_join_on_split`
306     * Added `xline_exempt` to auth {} block flags
307     * `serverinfo::sid` is now optional. A unique SID is now automatically
308     generated based on the server's name and description
309     * Various fixes to the mkpasswd tool
310     * If supported by the compiler, ircd-hybrid now compiles with
311     `-fstack-protector-strong` instead of `-fstack-protector`
312     * Services can now add RESVs (SQLINEs) that have wildcards in it
313     * Channel name RESVs are now sanity checked for too broad masks
314     * `class::connectfreq` now works properly with values lower than 300 seconds
315 michael 9656 * Implemented IRCv3.1 `account-notify` extension
316 michael 9652 * The `general::oper_pass_resv` configuration directive has been deprecated
317 michael 9658 in favor of the new `join:resv`, and `nick:resv` IRC operator flags.
318     See `doc/reference.conf` for more information.
319     * Added `resv`, and `unresv` IRC operator flags. Previously, all
320     IRC operators were allowed to `RESV` and `UNRESV`, regardless of configured
321 michael 9652 privileges.
322 michael 9658 * Added `close` to IRC operator flags
323 michael 9652 * ircd is using ISO 8601 date and time notation in most places now
324     * For a full list of all changes in this release, see <https://git.io/JvLqI>

326    
327     -- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.8 (2015-05-10)
328 michael 9652 * ircd now rejects remote k-line requests for user@host mask that don't
329     have at least `general::min_nonwildcard` non-wildcard characters in it
330     * Configuration related server notices are now sent to admins only as
331     they potentially could leak passwords and other sensitive data to irc
332     operators that don't have administrator privileges
333 michael 9654 * The `GLINE`/`GUNGLINE` commands have been removed. `KLINE` in conjunction
334 michael 9652 with cluster {} and/or shared {} blocks is now the recommended
335     way to add global user@host mask based server bans
336 michael 9656 * Added `dline_min_cidr`, `dline_min_cidr6`, `kline_min_cidr`, and
337     `kline_min_cidr6` configuration options to the general {} block
338 michael 9654 * Fixed bug where a `REHASH` would clear all X-Lines and RESVs that have
339     been set with the `XLINE`/`RESV commands`
340 michael 9652 * Fixed broken temporary remote XLINEs
341     * The `general::havent_read_conf` configuration directive has been removed
342     * For a full list of all changes in this release, see <https://git.io/JvLqq>

346 michael 9654 * Fixed a potential buffer overflow with the `BMASK` inter-server command
347     * Fixed undefined behavior in the `HELP` command module which could
348 michael 9652 lead to stack corruption
349     * Removed useless help files for inter-server commands
350     * For a full list of all changes in this release, see <https://git.io/JfOyA>
351 michael 5786
352    
353 michael 5741 -- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.6 (2015-03-29)
354 michael 9656 * `INFO` now shows configured values of `max_watch` and `stats_m_oper_only`
355     * `WHOWAS` now shows IP addresses to irc operators
356 michael 9652 * Fixed bug that would allow remote clients to bypass the hard

852 michael 9656 * Replaced `MODLOAD`, `MODUNLOAD`, `MODRELOAD`, `MODLIST` and `MODRESTART`
853     commands with the new `MODULE` command which can be fed with the `LOAD,`
854     `UNLOAD`, `RELOAD` and `LIST` parameters.

864 michael 3054 -- Noteworthy changes in version 8.0.0beta1 (2012-05-28)
865 michael 9652 * Implemented full services support, including but not limited to the
866     following changes:
867     - Added `SVSNICK`, and `SVSMODE` command handlers
868     - Added service stamps to `NICK`/`UID` messages
869     - Added SVS to server capabilities (`CAPAB`). SVS capable servers can
870     deal with extended `NICK`/`UID` messages that contain service IDs/stamps.
871     - Changed rejected client notices to go to new usermode +j. These
872     previously used usermode +r.
873     - Added usermode +r (registered nick) and channelmode +r (registered channel)
874     - Added usermode +R (only registered clients may send a private message)
875     - Added channelmode +R (only registered clients may join that channel)
876     - Various services shortcuts have been added (`NS`, `CS`, `NICKSERV`, `CHANSERV`, etc.)
877 michael 9666 - Added services {} block to `ircd.conf`
878 michael 9652 - Added services_name directive to general {} block
879     - Added `GLOBOPS` mainly for services compatibility, but can be used by operators, too
880 michael 9654 * Removed `RKLINE` and `RXLINE` commands. Regular expression based bans should
881 michael 9666 only be added via `ircd.conf`
882 michael 9652 * Added `globops`, `restart`, `dline`, `undline` and `module` operator privilege flags.
883 michael 9658 Read `doc/reference.conf` for further explanation of what these flags control
884 michael 9652 * Removed Idle-time klines
885     * Cleaned up modules API. Old modules won't work anymore
886     * Removed `general::burst_away` configuration directive. AWAY bursts are now
887     controlled via `connect::flags` explicitly
888     * Introduced new logging subsystem including log rotation based on
889     file sizes. Log timestamp format is ISO8601 now
890     * Added support for remote D-lines
891     * Added usermode +H which is basically a replacement for the hidden_admin and
892     `hidden_oper` operator flags. With usermode +H, irc operator status can now
893     be hidden even on remote servers
894     * Added CIDR support for operator {} blocks
895     * Removed the servlink program. ircd-hybrid can now make use of
896     SSL/TLS for inter-server communication.
897     NOTE: compressed server links are of course still available, but a SSL/TLS
898     connection is required, as compression is now handled via OpenSSL
899     * Removed `ssl_server_protocol` configuration directive and
900     added `ssl_client_method` and `ssl_server_method` instead.
901     Both of these options can now be changed at runtime
902     * Oper login IDs are no longer limited to NICKLEN*2
903     * Removed `channel::burst_topicwho` configuration option. This feature is now
904     enabled by default
905     * `STATS Y|y` now reports CIDR limits as well
906     * Added m_webirc.c to contrib/
907     * Overall code cleanup and speed improvements
