# User Rev Content
1 michael 9811 -- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.37 (202?-??-??)
2     * Implemented IRCv3 `CAP 302`
3     * Implemented IRCv3 `cap-notify` capability
4    
5    
6 michael 9783 -- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.36 (2020-12-04)
7 michael 9750 * The old WATCH implementation has been replaced with IRCv3.2 MONITOR. For this,
8     the `general::max_watch` configuration directive has been renamed to
9     `general::max_monitor`.
10 michael 9783 * User mode `B` has been implemented. Clients with that mode set are marked as a
11     bot in both `WHOIS` and `WHO`. This mode can only be set by IRC operators (as
12     long as the `bot` directive is set in `general::oper_only_umodes`), servers,
13     and services.
14     This mode can for example be used to mark HOPM as official network bot.
15     * For a full list of all changes in this release, see <https://git.io/JI3fG>
16 michael 9750
17    
18     -- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.35 (2020-11-14)
19     * Fixed issue where servers could propagate truncated ban masks during net-join
20 michael 9783 * For a full list of all changes in this release, see <https://git.io/JIUa6>
21 michael 9750
22    
23 michael 9699 -- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.34 (2020-11-01)
24     * Re-implement backwards compatibility mode for old ircd-hybrid 8.2.23 and below.
25     Final removal is scheduled for early 2021.
26 michael 9692 * For consistency, the `general::network_desc` configuration directive has been
27     renamed to `general::network_description`
28 michael 9684 * Server notices that previously have been sent to user modes +f and +u are now
29     sent to user mode +j (reject notices) instead. Due to this change, `unauth` and
30     `full` have been removed from `general::oper_only_umodes`, `general::oper_umodes`,
31     and `operator::umodes`.
32 michael 9750 * User mode +b (bots) has been replaced with +f (flood). Spam/flood notices are now
33     sent to this user mode. For this, `bots` has been removed from
34 michael 9684 `general::oper_only_umodes`, `general::oper_umodes`, and `operator::umodes`.
35     `flood` has been added instead to these configuration directives.
36 michael 9699 * Stricten server/user ID validation. IDs have to be all uppercase everywhere now.
37 michael 9750 * For a full list of all changes in this release, see <https://git.io/JkeID>

46    
47     -- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.32 (2020-08-16)
48     * `RESV` couldn't be issued in case no reason has been supplied. This has been fixed.
49     * Fixed possible `RPL_WHOISCHANNELS` line truncation of remote replies
50     * Extban $t of type `matching` has been implemented. This extban allows matching
51     based on TLS protocol version and/or cipher suite
52     * Implemented channel mode `K`. `KNOCK` cannot be used on channels with that mode set
53     * `STATS ?` is now oper-only
54     * For a full list of all changes in this release, see <https://git.io/JUZa1>
55    
56    
57 michael 9371 -- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.31 (2020-05-03)
58 michael 9652 * macOS compatibility fixes
59     * Removed `spoof_notice` from `auth::flags`. With vhosts now this notice doesn't make
60     much sense anymore
61     * Fixed issue where ban masks might become malformed if set by remote clients/servers
62     * Fixed issue with channel mode +c where high ascii characters can be erroneously
63     detected as control characters
64     * For a full list of all changes in this release, see <https://git.io/JUZa6>
65 michael 9371
66    
67 michael 9309 -- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.30 (2020-03-01)
68 michael 9654 * `QUOTE HELP extban` didn't work because the extban help file hasn't been
69 michael 9652 installed properly during `make install`
70     * Fixed broken libcrypto detection which caused the ircd not to work with
71 michael 9684 OpenSSL under certain circumstances
72 michael 9652 * Extban $n of type `acting` has been implemented. This extban prevents
73     matching users from changing their nick while in the channel. Users
74     with voice or above are not affected.
75     * Channel mode +N has been changed so channel members with +v can change
76     their nick name as well
77     * For a full list of all changes in this release, see <https://git.io/JfOyF>
78 michael 9292
79    
80     -- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.29 (2020-02-19)

84 michael 9666
85     * `$a:<account>` Matches users logged into a matching account.
86     * `$c:<channel>` Matches users that are on the given channel. An additional
87     prefix of either @, %, or + can be specified to test for
88     certain channel privileges.
89     * `$o:<class>` Matches IRC operators that have joined a class
90     matching the mask.
91     * `$r:<realname>` Matches users with a matching realname.

93     * `$u:<modes>` Matches users having the specified user modes set or not set.
94     * `$z:<certfp>` Matches users having the given TLS certificate fingerprint.
95    
96 michael 9652 Acting:
97 michael 9292
98 michael 9666 * `$j:<banmask>` Prevents matching users from joining the channel.
99     * `$m:<banmask>` Blocks messages from matching users. Users with voice
100     or above are not affected.
101    
102     For more details, see `help/extban`.
103 michael 9658 * Added `channel::enable_extbans` configuration option. See `doc/reference.conf`
104 michael 9652 for more information.

112     from bypassing channel bans by activating a fakehost
113     * For a full list of all changes in this release, see <https://git.io/Jv37M>
114 michael 9232
115    
116     -- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.27 (2020-01-22)
117 michael 9652 * Experimental support for wolfSSL has been implemented. Minimum supported version is 4.3.0
118     * The `--enable-openssl`, `--enable-gnutls` switches, and their disabling counterparts
119     `--disable-openssl` and `--disable-gnutls`, have been replaced with the `--with-tls`
120     switch which takes one of the following options: `openssl`, `wolfssl`, `gnutls`,
121     and `none`.
122     If nothing has been specified, configure tries to autodetect in the following order:
123 michael 9684 OpenSSL/LibreSSL -> GnuTLS -> wolfSSL.
124 michael 9652 * Fixed segfault with GnuTLS/libgmp in case there's no DH parameters file
125     defined in `serverinfo::ssl_dh_param_file` or if that file is missing
126     * The connection timeout for connect{} blocks can now be configured via
127     the `connect::timeout` configuration directive
128     * Minimum supported OpenSSL version is 1.1.1 now
129     * Minimum supported GnuTLS version is 3.6.5 now
130     * Supported TLSv1.3 cipher suites can now be configured explicitely via the
131     new `serverinfo::tls_cipher_suites` configuration directive
132     * In the serverinfo {} block, the following configuration directives have been renamed:
133     `ssl_certificate_file` -> `tls_certificate_file`
134     `ssl_dh_param_file` -> `tls_dh_param_file`
135     `ssl_dh_elliptic_curve` -> `tls_supported_groups`
136     `ssl_cipher_list` -> `tls_cipher_list`
137     `ssl_message_digest_algorithm` -> `tls_message_digest_algorithm`
138     * In the operator {} block, the following configuration directives have been renamed:
139     `ssl_certificate_fingerprint -> `tls_certificate_fingerprint`
140     `ssl_connection_required -> `tls_connection_required`
141     * In the connect {} block, the following configuration directives have been renamed:
142     `ssl_cipher_list -> `tls_cipher_list`
143     `ssl_certificate_fingerprint -> `tls_certificate_fingerprint`
144     * For a full list of all changes in this release, see <https://git.io/Jvq9g>
145 michael 9068
146    
147 michael 9052 -- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.26 (2019-05-31)
148 michael 9652 * The `general::tkline_expire_notices` configuration directive has been

150     operators with that mode set
151     * Fixed issue with `/rehash conf` creating duplicated class entries
152     instead of updating existing ones that are already in use
153     * For a full list of all changes in this release, see <https://git.io/fjEbq>

158     configuration directives have been replaced with just `class::number_per_ip_local`
159     and `class::number_per_ip_global`. The `class::max_local` basically was
160     redundant as it had the same functionality as `class::number_per_ip`
161     * Adding RESVs with wildcards no longer requires administrator privileges
162     * The `general::ignore_bogus_ts` configuration option has been deprecated
163     * TLSv1.1 and TLSv1.0 are no longer supported and have been disabled in
164 michael 9684 the OpenSSL and GnuTLS module
165 michael 9652 * Minimum supported OpenSSL version is 1.0.1f now
166     * Minimum supported GnuTLS version is 3.5.8 now
167     * The `serverinfo::vhost` and `serverinfo:vhost6` configuration directives have
168     been deprecated. If you need to bind() a specific address you can specify one
169     in the connect {} block
170     * The `connect::vhost` configuration directive has been renamed to `connect::bind`
171     * For a full list of all changes in this release, see <https://git.io/fjRVk>

185 michael 9652 * `RPL_WELCOME` now does use the rfc2812 style nick!user@host format
186     * Removed rudimentary libgeoip support
187 michael 9656 * Added `--enable-efence` switch to allow easy linking with the
188 michael 9652 electric fence memory debugger library

190     * Fixed bug where ircd would not remove `RPL_WHOISOPERATOR` based svstags
191     when deoppering
192     * Fixed `unknown closes` statistic in `STATS t` showing invalid values sometimes
193     * For a full list of all changes in this release, see <https://git.io/fjRVq>

195    
196 michael 8086 -- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.22 (2017-03-26)
197 michael 9652 * Implemented channel mode `L`. Channels with that mode set can make use of an
198     extended ban list size specified with the new `channel::max_bans_large`
199 michael 9658 configuraton option. This mode can be set only by IRC operators or servers.
200 michael 9652 * Implemented channel mode `u` which hides bmask (+b/+e/+I) lists and mode changes
201     to non-chanops everywhere
202     * Fixed an issue with `TRACE` where remote servers would reply with `RPL_TRACEUSER`
203     numerics containing UIDs
204     * `STATS z` now shows simple memory stats of servers linked to the network

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

281 michael 7366
282    
283 michael 7204 -- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.13 (2016-02-02)
284 michael 9652 * Implemented support for GnuTLS. Currently ./configure's autodetection
285     intentionally prefers OpenSSL over GnuTLS, so OpenSSL detection needs
286 michael 9654 to be disabled explicitely by using the `--disable-openssl` switch.
287 michael 9652 * Minimum supported GnuTLS version is 3.3.8 now

296 michael 7043 -- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.12 (2016-01-05)
297 michael 9652 * **IMPORTANT:** Character case mapping is `ascii` now. It is recommended
298     to update all servers on the network to prevent possible channel
299     desynchronizations and nick name collision kills
300 michael 9684 * Added channel mode `T` which forbids `NOTICE` to be sent to a channel
301 michael 9656 * Fixed minor `SVSTAG` memory leak
302     * Fixed broken `PART` message blocking mechanism
303 michael 9652 * ircd now makes use of up to 8 name servers that are specified in

305 michael 9654 * The `-klinefile`, `-dlinefile`, etc. switches didn't work at all
306 michael 9652 * Fixed possible core on ident lookups if ircd is out of file descriptors
307     * Far client exit notices (+F) now show IP addresses, too
308     * Made idle time look nicer in `STATS v|p` by using a formatted time string
309     * `general::ts_warn_delta`, and `general::ts_max_delta` can be set to 0 now
310     * For a full list of all changes in this release, see <https://git.io/JvLtj>
311 michael 7043
312    
313 michael 6820 -- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.11 (2015-11-19)

320 michael 6738 -- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.10 (2015-11-06)
321 michael 9652 * **IMPORTANT:** renamed `serverhide::links_delay` configuration directive
322     to `serverhide::flatten_links_delay`
323     * Added `serverhide::flatten_links_file` configuration option
324     * Fixed bug where changing `serverhide::flatten_links_delay` on runtime
325     would not have any effect
326 michael 9684 * mkpasswd (tools): fixed broken bcrypt support on *BSD in conjunction with
327     the `-s` and `-l` switches. Dropped MD5, DES and Extended DES support.
328 michael 9654 * Removed `CHALLENGE` in favor of ssl certificate fingerprint enabled
329 michael 9652 operator {} blocks
330     * RSA keys with less than 2048 bits are no longer supported; same applies
331     to the DH param file
332 michael 9658 * Added missing IRC operator privilege flags to `STATS o`. For a full list
333     of flags see `doc/reference.conf`
334 michael 9652 * For a full list of all changes in this release, see <https://git.io/JvLqJ>

336    
337 michael 6539 -- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.9 (2015-09-13)
338 michael 9656 * **IMPORTANT:** database files and links.txt are now stored in `/var/lib`
339     instead of `/etc`, so make sure to move your k/d/x-line database files
340 michael 9652 to the new path before (re)starting the ircd
341     * **IMPORTANT:** the splitmode logic has been removed along with the
342     following channel {} block configuration directives:
343     `default_split_user_count`, `default_split_server_count`,
344     `no_create_on_split`, `no_join_on_split`
345     * Added `xline_exempt` to auth {} block flags
346     * `serverinfo::sid` is now optional. A unique SID is now automatically
347     generated based on the server's name and description
348     * Various fixes to the mkpasswd tool
349     * If supported by the compiler, ircd-hybrid now compiles with
350     `-fstack-protector-strong` instead of `-fstack-protector`
351     * Services can now add RESVs (SQLINEs) that have wildcards in it
352     * Channel name RESVs are now sanity checked for too broad masks
353     * `class::connectfreq` now works properly with values lower than 300 seconds
354 michael 9656 * Implemented IRCv3.1 `account-notify` extension

721    
722 michael 3054 -- Noteworthy changes in version 8.1.0rc1 (2013-05-19)
723 michael 9652 * Fixed broken spoofs
724 michael 2155
725    
726 michael 3054 -- Noteworthy changes in version 8.1.0beta5 (2013-05-15)
727 michael 9652 * Removed `remote`, and `global_kill` oper flags, and added `connect`,
728     `squit`, and `kill` flags for better fine-tuning instead. Whether or
729     not a specific action is allowed on a remote server can be controlled
730     by appending the `:remote` flag. For example: `kill` allows only local
731 michael 9666 clients to be killed, whereas `kill:remote` allows to issue a `KILL` for
732 michael 9652 remote clients

747     * `STATS o` now shows how many times an operator {} block has been used.
748     Similar to `STATS x|q`

750     prevents users from sending messages including control codes to a channel
751     that has this mode set
752     * Fixed bug where bans were not checked against non-channel members when
753     sending messages to a channel
754     * Removed `channel::quiet_on_ban` configuration option. This feature is

768     single resv {} block. Each entry now requires its own resv {} block.
769 michael 9658 Read `doc/reference.conf` for more details
770 michael 9652 * Added `resv::exempt` configuration option. Exempt can be either a
771     ISO 3166 alpha-2 two letter country code, or a nick!user@host mask.
772     CIDR is supported
773     * Removed `channel::restrict_channels` configuration option
774     * Preliminary libGeoIP support. Currently only used for exempt entries
775     in resv {} blocks
776     * Improved WEBIRC authentication; added `webirc` to `auth::flags`.
777     A `webirc.` spoof is now no longer required
778     * Implemented new memory pool allocator which basically is based upon Tor's
779     mempool allocator for Tor cells

899 michael 9750 was to let IRC operators join three times the amount of max_chans_per_user
900 michael 9656 * Replaced `MODLOAD`, `MODUNLOAD`, `MODRELOAD`, `MODLIST` and `MODRESTART`
901     commands with the new `MODULE` command which can be fed with the `LOAD,`
902     `UNLOAD`, `RELOAD` and `LIST` parameters.
903     `MODRESTART` has been entirely removed. Use `MODULE RELOAD *` to reload

914     following changes:
915     - Added `SVSNICK`, and `SVSMODE` command handlers
916     - Added service stamps to `NICK`/`UID` messages
917     - Added SVS to server capabilities (`CAPAB`). SVS capable servers can
918     deal with extended `NICK`/`UID` messages that contain service IDs/stamps.
919 michael 9750 - Changed rejected client notices to go to new user mode +j. These
920     previously used user mode +r.
921     - Added user mode +r (registered nick) and channel mode +r (registered channel)
922     - Added user mode +R (only registered clients may send a private message)
923     - Added channel mode +R (only registered clients may join that channel)
924 michael 9652 - Various services shortcuts have been added (`NS`, `CS`, `NICKSERV`, `CHANSERV`, etc.)
925 michael 9666 - Added services {} block to `ircd.conf`
926 michael 9652 - Added services_name directive to general {} block
927 michael 9750 - Added `GLOBOPS` mainly for services compatibility, but can be used by IRC operators, too
928 michael 9654 * Removed `RKLINE` and `RXLINE` commands. Regular expression based bans should
929 michael 9666 only be added via `ircd.conf`
930 michael 9750 * Added `globops`, `restart`, `dline`, `undline` and `module` IRC operator privilege flags.
931 michael 9658 Read `doc/reference.conf` for further explanation of what these flags control
932 michael 9652 * Removed Idle-time klines
933     * Cleaned up modules API. Old modules won't work anymore
934     * Removed `general::burst_away` configuration directive. AWAY bursts are now
935     controlled via `connect::flags` explicitly
936     * Introduced new logging subsystem including log rotation based on
937     file sizes. Log timestamp format is ISO8601 now
938     * Added support for remote D-lines
939 michael 9750 * Added user mode +H which is basically a replacement for the hidden_admin and
940     `hidden_oper` operator flags. With user mode +H, IRC operator status can now
941 michael 9652 be hidden even on remote servers
942     * Added CIDR support for operator {} blocks
943     * Removed the servlink program. ircd-hybrid can now make use of
944     SSL/TLS for inter-server communication.
945     NOTE: compressed server links are of course still available, but a SSL/TLS
946     connection is required, as compression is now handled via OpenSSL
947     * Removed `ssl_server_protocol` configuration directive and
948     added `ssl_client_method` and `ssl_server_method` instead.
949     Both of these options can now be changed at runtime
950 michael 9750 * IRC operator login IDs are no longer limited to NICKLEN*2
951 michael 9652 * Removed `channel::burst_topicwho` configuration option. This feature is now
952     enabled by default
953     * `STATS Y|y` now reports CIDR limits as well
954 michael 9750 * Added `m_webirc.c` to `contrib/`
955 michael 9652 * Overall code cleanup and speed improvements
