* For consistency, the `general::network_desc` configuration directive has been |
| 5 |
|
|
renamed to `general::network_description` |
| 6 |
michael |
9684 |
* Server notices that previously have been sent to user modes +f and +u are now |
| 7 |
|
|
sent to user mode +j (reject notices) instead. Due to this change, `unauth` and |
| 8 |
|
|
`full` have been removed from `general::oper_only_umodes`, `general::oper_umodes`, |
| 9 |
|
|
and `operator::umodes`. |
| 10 |
|
|
* User mode +b has been replaced with +f (flood). Spam/flood notices are now sent |
| 11 |
|
|
to this user mode. For this, `bots` has been removed from |
| 12 |
|
|
`general::oper_only_umodes`, `general::oper_umodes`, and `operator::umodes`. |
| 13 |
|
|
`flood` has been added instead to these configuration directives. |
| 14 |
michael |

| 36 |
michael |
9652 |
* macOS compatibility fixes |
| 37 |
|
|
* Removed `spoof_notice` from `auth::flags`. With vhosts now this notice doesn't make |
| 38 |
|
|
much sense anymore |
| 39 |
|
|
* Fixed issue where ban masks might become malformed if set by remote clients/servers |
| 40 |
|
|
* Fixed issue with channel mode +c where high ascii characters can be erroneously |
| 41 |
|

detected as control characters |

installed properly during `make install` |
| 48 |
|
|
* Fixed broken libcrypto detection which caused the ircd not to work with |
| 49 |
michael |
9684 |
OpenSSL under certain circumstances |
| 50 |
michael |
9652 |
* Extban $n of type `acting` has been implemented. This extban prevents |

matching users from changing their nick while in the channel. Users |
| 52 |
|
|

|
|
* The `--enable-openssl`, `--enable-gnutls` switches, and their disabling counterparts |

`--disable-openssl` and `--disable-gnutls`, have been replaced with the `--with-tls` |
| 98 |
|
|
switch which takes one of the following options: `openssl`, `wolfssl`, `gnutls`, |
| 99 |
|
|
and `none`. |
| 100 |
|
|
If nothing has been specified, configure tries to autodetect in the following order: |

michael |
9684 |
OpenSSL/LibreSSL -> GnuTLS -> wolfSSL. |
| 102 |
michael |
9652 |

| 111 |
|
|
`ssl_certificate_file` -> `tls_certificate_file` |
| 112 |
|
|
`ssl_dh_param_file` -> `tls_dh_param_file` |

|
|
and `class::number_per_ip_global`. The `class::max_local` basically was |

redundant as it had the same functionality as `class::number_per_ip` |
| 139 |
|
|

|
in the connect {} block |

-- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.13 (2016-02-02) |
| 262 |
michael |
9652 |
* Implemented support for GnuTLS. Currently ./configure's autodetection |
| 263 |
|
|
intentionally prefers OpenSSL over GnuTLS, so OpenSSL detection needs |
| 264 |
michael |
9654 |
to be disabled explicitely by using the `--disable-openssl` switch. |
| 265 |
michael |
9652 |

| 277 |
|
|
desynchronizations and nick name collision kills |

michael |
9684 |

to the new path before (re)starting the ircd |
| 319 |
|
|

| 335 |
|
|
See `doc/reference.conf` for more information. |
| 336 |
|
|
* Added `resv`, and `unresv` IRC operator flags. Previously, all |
| 337 |
|
|
IRC operators were allowed to `RESV` and `UNRESV`, regardless of configured |

operators that don't have administrator privileges |
| 350 |
michael |
9654 |
* The `GLINE`/`GUNGLINE` commands have been removed. `KLINE` in conjunction |

| 870 |
michael |
9654 |
when set to yes |
| 871 |
michael |

| 872 |
|
|
was to let operators join three times the amount of max_chans_per_user |
| 873 |
michael |
9656 |
* Replaced `MODLOAD`, `MODUNLOAD`, `MODRELOAD`, `MODLIST` and `MODRESTART` |

-- Noteworthy changes in version 8.0.0beta1 (2012-05-28) |
| 886 |
michael |
9652 |
* Implemented full services support, including but not limited to the |
| 887 |
|
|
following changes: |
| 888 |
|
|
- Added `SVSNICK`, and `SVSMODE` command handlers |
| 889 |
|
|
- Added service stamps to `NICK`/`UID` messages |
| 890 |
|
|
- Added SVS to server capabilities (`CAPAB`). SVS capable servers can |
| 891 |
|
|
deal with extended `NICK`/`UID` messages that contain service IDs/stamps. |
| 892 |
|
|
- Changed rejected client notices to go to new usermode +j. These |
| 893 |
|
|
previously used usermode +r. |
| 894 |
|
|
- Added usermode +r (registered nick) and channelmode +r (registered channel) |
| 895 |
|
|
- Added usermode +R (only registered clients may send a private message) |
| 896 |
|
|
- Added channelmode +R (only registered clients may join that channel) |
| 897 |
|
|
- Various services shortcuts have been added (`NS`, `CS`, `NICKSERV`, `CHANSERV`, etc.) |
| 898 |
michael |
9666 |
- Added services {} block to `ircd.conf` |
| 899 |
michael |
9652 |
- Added services_name directive to general {} block |
| 900 |
|
|
- Added `GLOBOPS` mainly for services compatibility, but can be used by operators, too |
| 901 |
michael |
9654 |
* Removed `RKLINE` and `RXLINE` commands. Regular expression based bans should |
| 902 |
michael |
9666 |
only be added via `ircd.conf` |
| 903 |
michael |
9652 |
* Added `globops`, `restart`, `dline`, `undline` and `module` operator privilege flags. |
| 904 |
michael |
9658 |
Read `doc/reference.conf` for further explanation of what these flags control |
| 905 |
michael |
9652 |
* Removed Idle-time klines |
| 906 |
|
|
* Cleaned up modules API. Old modules won't work anymore |
| 907 |
|
|
* Removed `general::burst_away` configuration directive. AWAY bursts are now |
| 908 |
|
|
controlled via `connect::flags` explicitly |
| 909 |
|
|
* Introduced new logging subsystem including log rotation based on |
| 910 |
|
|
file sizes. Log timestamp format is ISO8601 now |
| 911 |
|
|
* Added support for remote D-lines |
| 912 |
|
|
* Added usermode +H which is basically a replacement for the hidden_admin and |
| 913 |
|
|
`hidden_oper` operator flags. With usermode +H, irc operator status can now |
| 914 |
|
|
be hidden even on remote servers |
| 915 |
|
|
* Added CIDR support for operator {} blocks |
| 916 |
|
|
* Removed the servlink program. ircd-hybrid can now make use of |
| 917 |
|
|
SSL/TLS for inter-server communication. |
| 918 |
|
|
NOTE: compressed server links are of course still available, but a SSL/TLS |
| 919 |
|
|
connection is required, as compression is now handled via OpenSSL |
| 920 |
|
|
* Removed `ssl_server_protocol` configuration directive and |
| 921 |
|
|
added `ssl_client_method` and `ssl_server_method` instead. |
| 922 |
|
|
Both of these options can now be changed at runtime |
| 923 |
|
|
* Oper login IDs are no longer limited to NICKLEN*2 |
| 924 |
|
|
* Removed `channel::burst_topicwho` configuration option. This feature is now |
| 925 |
|
|
enabled by default |
| 926 |
|
|
* `STATS Y|y` now reports CIDR limits as well |
| 927 |
|
|
* Added m_webirc.c to contrib/ |
| 928 |
|
|
* Overall code cleanup and speed improvements |
