1 michael 9684 -- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.34 (2020-??-??)
2 michael 9692 * For consistency, the `general::network_desc` configuration directive has been
3     renamed to `general::network_description`
4 michael 9684 * Server notices that previously have been sent to user modes +f and +u are now
5     sent to user mode +j (reject notices) instead. Due to this change, `unauth` and
6     `full` have been removed from `general::oper_only_umodes`, `general::oper_umodes`,
7     and `operator::umodes`.
8     * User mode +b has been replaced with +f (flood). Spam/flood notices are now sent
9     to this user mode. For this, `bots` has been removed from
10     `general::oper_only_umodes`, `general::oper_umodes`, and `operator::umodes`.
11     `flood` has been added instead to these configuration directives.

14 michael 9652 -- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.33 (2020-09-07)
15     * Added `client` option to `listener::flags`
16     * Added `defer` option to `listener::flags`
17     * IRC operators may now use CIDR notation in `WHO`

20    
21     -- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.32 (2020-08-16)
22     * `RESV` couldn't be issued in case no reason has been supplied. This has been fixed.
23     * Fixed possible `RPL_WHOISCHANNELS` line truncation of remote replies
24     * Extban $t of type `matching` has been implemented. This extban allows matching
25     based on TLS protocol version and/or cipher suite
26     * Implemented channel mode `K`. `KNOCK` cannot be used on channels with that mode set
27     * `STATS ?` is now oper-only
28     * For a full list of all changes in this release, see <https://git.io/JUZa1>
29

31 michael 9371 -- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.31 (2020-05-03)
32 michael 9652 * macOS compatibility fixes
33     * Removed `spoof_notice` from `auth::flags`. With vhosts now this notice doesn't make
34     much sense anymore
35     * Fixed issue where ban masks might become malformed if set by remote clients/servers
36     * Fixed issue with channel mode +c where high ascii characters can be erroneously
37     detected as control characters
38     * For a full list of all changes in this release, see <https://git.io/JUZa6>
39 michael 9371
40    
41 michael 9309 -- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.30 (2020-03-01)
42 michael 9654 * `QUOTE HELP extban` didn't work because the extban help file hasn't been
43 michael 9652 installed properly during `make install`
44     * Fixed broken libcrypto detection which caused the ircd not to work with
45 michael 9684 OpenSSL under certain circumstances
46 michael 9652 * Extban $n of type `acting` has been implemented. This extban prevents
47     matching users from changing their nick while in the channel. Users
48     with voice or above are not affected.
49     * Channel mode +N has been changed so channel members with +v can change
50     their nick name as well
51     * For a full list of all changes in this release, see <https://git.io/JfOyF>
52 michael 9292
53    
54     -- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.29 (2020-02-19)
55 michael 9652 * Extbans have been implemented. Currently supported extbans:
56 michael 9292
57 michael 9652 Matching:
58 michael 9666
59     * `$a:<account>` Matches users logged into a matching account.
60     * `$c:<channel>` Matches users that are on the given channel. An additional
61     prefix of either @, %, or + can be specified to test for
62     certain channel privileges.
63     * `$o:<class>` Matches IRC operators that have joined a class
64     matching the mask.
65     * `$r:<realname>` Matches users with a matching realname.
66     * `$s:<server>` Matches users that are connected to a server matching the mask.
67     * `$u:<modes>` Matches users having the specified user modes set or not set.
68     * `$z:<certfp>` Matches users having the given TLS certificate fingerprint.
69    
70 michael 9652 Acting:
71 michael 9292
72 michael 9666 * `$j:<banmask>` Prevents matching users from joining the channel.
73     * `$m:<banmask>` Blocks messages from matching users. Users with voice
74     or above are not affected.
75    
76     For more details, see `help/extban`.
77 michael 9658 * Added `channel::enable_extbans` configuration option. See `doc/reference.conf`
78 michael 9652 for more information.

89    
90     -- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.27 (2020-01-22)
91 michael 9652 * Experimental support for wolfSSL has been implemented. Minimum supported version is 4.3.0
92     * The `--enable-openssl`, `--enable-gnutls` switches, and their disabling counterparts
93     `--disable-openssl` and `--disable-gnutls`, have been replaced with the `--with-tls`
94     switch which takes one of the following options: `openssl`, `wolfssl`, `gnutls`,
95     and `none`.
96     If nothing has been specified, configure tries to autodetect in the following order:
97 michael 9684 OpenSSL/LibreSSL -> GnuTLS -> wolfSSL.
98 michael 9652 * Fixed segfault with GnuTLS/libgmp in case there's no DH parameters file
99     defined in `serverinfo::ssl_dh_param_file` or if that file is missing
100     * The connection timeout for connect{} blocks can now be configured via
101     the `connect::timeout` configuration directive
102     * Minimum supported OpenSSL version is 1.1.1 now
103     * Minimum supported GnuTLS version is 3.6.5 now
104     * Supported TLSv1.3 cipher suites can now be configured explicitely via the
105     new `serverinfo::tls_cipher_suites` configuration directive
106     * In the serverinfo {} block, the following configuration directives have been renamed:
107     `ssl_certificate_file` -> `tls_certificate_file`
108     `ssl_dh_param_file` -> `tls_dh_param_file`
109     `ssl_dh_elliptic_curve` -> `tls_supported_groups`
110     `ssl_cipher_list` -> `tls_cipher_list`
111     `ssl_message_digest_algorithm` -> `tls_message_digest_algorithm`
112     * In the operator {} block, the following configuration directives have been renamed:
113     `ssl_certificate_fingerprint -> `tls_certificate_fingerprint`
114     `ssl_connection_required -> `tls_connection_required`
115     * In the connect {} block, the following configuration directives have been renamed:
116     `ssl_cipher_list -> `tls_cipher_list`
117     `ssl_certificate_fingerprint -> `tls_certificate_fingerprint`
118     * For a full list of all changes in this release, see <https://git.io/Jvq9g>

120    
121 michael 9052 -- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.26 (2019-05-31)
122 michael 9652 * The `general::tkline_expire_notices` configuration directive has been
123     replaced with user mode `X`. *LINE expiration notices are sent to IRC
124     operators with that mode set
125     * Fixed issue with `/rehash conf` creating duplicated class entries
126     instead of updating existing ones that are already in use
127     * For a full list of all changes in this release, see <https://git.io/fjEbq>

131 michael 9652 * The `class::number_per_ip`, `class::max_local` and `class::max_global`
132     configuration directives have been replaced with just `class::number_per_ip_local`
133     and `class::number_per_ip_global`. The `class::max_local` basically was
134     redundant as it had the same functionality as `class::number_per_ip`
135     * Adding RESVs with wildcards no longer requires administrator privileges
136     * The `general::ignore_bogus_ts` configuration option has been deprecated
137     * TLSv1.1 and TLSv1.0 are no longer supported and have been disabled in
138 michael 9684 the OpenSSL and GnuTLS module
139 michael 9652 * Minimum supported OpenSSL version is 1.0.1f now
140     * Minimum supported GnuTLS version is 3.5.8 now
141     * The `serverinfo::vhost` and `serverinfo:vhost6` configuration directives have
142     been deprecated. If you need to bind() a specific address you can specify one
143     in the connect {} block
144     * The `connect::vhost` configuration directive has been renamed to `connect::bind`
145     * For a full list of all changes in this release, see <https://git.io/fjRVk>
146 michael 9052
147    
148 michael 8491 -- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.24 (2018-04-05)
149 michael 9652 * Added `STATS s` to show configured pseudo {} blocks
150     * Implemented channel mode `N` which prevents users from changing their
151     nick while in a channel with that mode set
152     * Services clients are now shown with `is a Network Service` in `WHOIS`
153     * For a full list of all changes in this release, see <https://git.io/fjRVt>

155    
156 michael 8429 -- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.23 (2018-03-26)
157 michael 9684 * IRC operators are now able to see a user's resolved hostname in `WHOWAS`,
158     and `WHOIS` even if the user has a fakehost/vhost
159 michael 9652 * `RPL_WELCOME` now does use the rfc2812 style nick!user@host format
160     * Removed rudimentary libgeoip support
161 michael 9656 * Added `--enable-efence` switch to allow easy linking with the
162 michael 9652 electric fence memory debugger library
163     * `JOIN 0` is no longer supported
164     * Fixed bug where ircd would not remove `RPL_WHOISOPERATOR` based svstags
165     when deoppering
166     * Fixed `unknown closes` statistic in `STATS t` showing invalid values sometimes
167     * For a full list of all changes in this release, see <https://git.io/fjRVq>
168 michael 8429
169    
170 michael 8086 -- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.22 (2017-03-26)
171 michael 9652 * Implemented channel mode `L`. Channels with that mode set can make use of an
172     extended ban list size specified with the new `channel::max_bans_large`
173 michael 9658 configuraton option. This mode can be set only by IRC operators or servers.
174 michael 9652 * Implemented channel mode `u` which hides bmask (+b/+e/+I) lists and mode changes
175     to non-chanops everywhere
176     * Fixed an issue with `TRACE` where remote servers would reply with `RPL_TRACEUSER`
177     numerics containing UIDs
178     * `STATS z` now shows simple memory stats of servers linked to the network
179     * Added support for remote `ETRACE`

184 michael 9652 * The `general::default_floodtime` configuration option has been added
185     along with the `SET FLOODTIME` command. These allow to fine-tune the
186     message throttling better
187 michael 9656 * Fixed an issue with `INVITE` not showing the list of channels the
188 michael 9652 sender is invited to
189     * For a full list of all changes in this release, see <https://git.io/fjRVG>
190 michael 7918
191

195 michael 9652 for more information.
196 michael 9654 * `INVITE` expirations have been implemented. Expire time can be adjusted with
197 michael 9652 the `channel::invite_expire_time` configuration directive
198 michael 9684 * `WHOIS` notices to IRC operators have been re-added. User mode +y is required
199 michael 9652 to see them
200 michael 9684 * The maximum line length for motd files has been increased to 320 bytes to
201     support multibyte encodings better
202 michael 9652 * For a full list of all changes in this release, see <https://git.io/fjRVZ>
203 michael 7878
204

254     * For a full list of all changes in this release, see <https://git.io/fjR9f>
255 michael 7366
256    
257 michael 7204 -- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.13 (2016-02-02)
258 michael 9652 * Implemented support for GnuTLS. Currently ./configure's autodetection
259     intentionally prefers OpenSSL over GnuTLS, so OpenSSL detection needs
260 michael 9654 to be disabled explicitely by using the `--disable-openssl` switch.
261 michael 9652 * Minimum supported GnuTLS version is 3.3.8 now
262     * Minimum supported OpenSSL version is 1.0.1d now

268 michael 7204
269    
270 michael 7043 -- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.12 (2016-01-05)
271 michael 9652 * **IMPORTANT:** Character case mapping is `ascii` now. It is recommended
272     to update all servers on the network to prevent possible channel
273     desynchronizations and nick name collision kills
274 michael 9684 * Added channel mode `T` which forbids `NOTICE` to be sent to a channel
275 michael 9656 * Fixed minor `SVSTAG` memory leak
276     * Fixed broken `PART` message blocking mechanism
277 michael 9652 * ircd now makes use of up to 8 name servers that are specified in
278 michael 9658 `/etc/resolv.conf`
279 michael 9654 * The `-klinefile`, `-dlinefile`, etc. switches didn't work at all
280 michael 9652 * Fixed possible core on ident lookups if ircd is out of file descriptors
281     * Far client exit notices (+F) now show IP addresses, too
282     * Made idle time look nicer in `STATS v|p` by using a formatted time string
283     * `general::ts_warn_delta`, and `general::ts_max_delta` can be set to 0 now
284     * For a full list of all changes in this release, see <https://git.io/JvLtj>
285 michael 7043
286    
287 michael 6820 -- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.11 (2015-11-19)

292 michael 6820
293    
294 michael 6738 -- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.10 (2015-11-06)
295 michael 9652 * **IMPORTANT:** renamed `serverhide::links_delay` configuration directive
296     to `serverhide::flatten_links_delay`
297     * Added `serverhide::flatten_links_file` configuration option
298     * Fixed bug where changing `serverhide::flatten_links_delay` on runtime
299     would not have any effect
300 michael 9684 * mkpasswd (tools): fixed broken bcrypt support on *BSD in conjunction with
301     the `-s` and `-l` switches. Dropped MD5, DES and Extended DES support.
302 michael 9654 * Removed `CHALLENGE` in favor of ssl certificate fingerprint enabled
303 michael 9652 operator {} blocks
304     * RSA keys with less than 2048 bits are no longer supported; same applies
305     to the DH param file
306 michael 9658 * Added missing IRC operator privilege flags to `STATS o`. For a full list
307     of flags see `doc/reference.conf`
308 michael 9652 * For a full list of all changes in this release, see <https://git.io/JvLqJ>
309 michael 6738
310    
311 michael 6539 -- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.9 (2015-09-13)
312 michael 9656 * **IMPORTANT:** database files and links.txt are now stored in `/var/lib`
313     instead of `/etc`, so make sure to move your k/d/x-line database files
314 michael 9652 to the new path before (re)starting the ircd
315     * **IMPORTANT:** the splitmode logic has been removed along with the
316     following channel {} block configuration directives:
317     `default_split_user_count`, `default_split_server_count`,
318     `no_create_on_split`, `no_join_on_split`
319     * Added `xline_exempt` to auth {} block flags
320     * `serverinfo::sid` is now optional. A unique SID is now automatically
321     generated based on the server's name and description
322     * Various fixes to the mkpasswd tool
323     * If supported by the compiler, ircd-hybrid now compiles with
324     `-fstack-protector-strong` instead of `-fstack-protector`
325     * Services can now add RESVs (SQLINEs) that have wildcards in it
326     * Channel name RESVs are now sanity checked for too broad masks
327     * `class::connectfreq` now works properly with values lower than 300 seconds
328 michael 9656 * Implemented IRCv3.1 `account-notify` extension
329 michael 9652 * The `general::oper_pass_resv` configuration directive has been deprecated
330 michael 9658 in favor of the new `join:resv`, and `nick:resv` IRC operator flags.
331     See `doc/reference.conf` for more information.
332     * Added `resv`, and `unresv` IRC operator flags. Previously, all
333     IRC operators were allowed to `RESV` and `UNRESV`, regardless of configured
334 michael 9652 privileges.
335 michael 9658 * Added `close` to IRC operator flags
336 michael 9652 * ircd is using ISO 8601 date and time notation in most places now
337     * For a full list of all changes in this release, see <https://git.io/JvLqI>

339    
340     -- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.8 (2015-05-10)
341 michael 9652 * ircd now rejects remote k-line requests for user@host mask that don't
342     have at least `general::min_nonwildcard` non-wildcard characters in it
343     * Configuration related server notices are now sent to admins only as
344     they potentially could leak passwords and other sensitive data to irc
345     operators that don't have administrator privileges
346 michael 9654 * The `GLINE`/`GUNGLINE` commands have been removed. `KLINE` in conjunction
347 michael 9652 with cluster {} and/or shared {} blocks is now the recommended
348     way to add global user@host mask based server bans
349 michael 9656 * Added `dline_min_cidr`, `dline_min_cidr6`, `kline_min_cidr`, and
350     `kline_min_cidr6` configuration options to the general {} block
351 michael 9654 * Fixed bug where a `REHASH` would clear all X-Lines and RESVs that have
352     been set with the `XLINE`/`RESV commands`
353 michael 9652 * Fixed broken temporary remote XLINEs

865 michael 9656 * Replaced `MODLOAD`, `MODUNLOAD`, `MODRELOAD`, `MODLIST` and `MODRESTART`
866     commands with the new `MODULE` command which can be fed with the `LOAD,`

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