# User Rev Content
1 michael 9856 -- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.38 (2021-??-??)
2     * Backwards compatibility mode for ircd-hybrid 8.2.22 and below has been removed
3     * Minimum supported version of the Anope IRC services is now 2.0.8
4 michael 9898 * Fixed displaying issue with channel MODE messages
5     * Characters valid for user names for local clients are now [A-Za-z0-9._-]. 'Special'
6     characters like }|{`^]\[$, that were allowed previously, are no longer valid.
7     Also user names may not begin with '.', '_', or '-'.
8     * The `general::dots_in_ident` configuration directive has been renamed to
9     `general::specials_in_ident` and now covers the '-' and '_' characters in
10     addition to '.'
11     * Fixed issue with clients connected from IPv6 localhost that, depending on the
12     system's getaddrinfo() implementation, could lead to a crash of remote servers
13 michael 9856
14    
15     -- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.37 (2020-12-26)
16 michael 9811 * Implemented IRCv3 `CAP 302`
17     * Implemented IRCv3 `cap-notify` capability
18 michael 9856 * In case a client sends multiple `PASS` messages, ircd only accepts the password
19     sent in the first `PASS` message instead of the last one
20     * Missing help file for `MONITOR` has been added
21     * Fixed slightly off memory count for motds in `STATS z`
22     * For a full list of all changes in this release, see <https://git.io/JLMnk>
23 michael 9811
24    
25 michael 9783 -- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.36 (2020-12-04)
26 michael 9750 * The old WATCH implementation has been replaced with IRCv3.2 MONITOR. For this,
27     the `general::max_watch` configuration directive has been renamed to
28     `general::max_monitor`.
29 michael 9783 * User mode `B` has been implemented. Clients with that mode set are marked as a
30     bot in both `WHOIS` and `WHO`. This mode can only be set by IRC operators (as
31     long as the `bot` directive is set in `general::oper_only_umodes`), servers,
32     and services.
33     This mode can for example be used to mark HOPM as official network bot.
34 michael 9856 * For a full list of all changes in this release, see <https://git.io/JLMnJ>
35 michael 9750
36    
37     -- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.35 (2020-11-14)
38     * Fixed issue where servers could propagate truncated ban masks during net-join
39 michael 9783 * For a full list of all changes in this release, see <https://git.io/JIUa6>

41    
42 michael 9699 -- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.34 (2020-11-01)
43     * Re-implement backwards compatibility mode for old ircd-hybrid 8.2.23 and below.
44     Final removal is scheduled for early 2021.
45 michael 9692 * For consistency, the `general::network_desc` configuration directive has been
46     renamed to `general::network_description`
47 michael 9684 * Server notices that previously have been sent to user modes +f and +u are now
48     sent to user mode +j (reject notices) instead. Due to this change, `unauth` and
49     `full` have been removed from `general::oper_only_umodes`, `general::oper_umodes`,
50     and `operator::umodes`.
51 michael 9750 * User mode +b (bots) has been replaced with +f (flood). Spam/flood notices are now
52     sent to this user mode. For this, `bots` has been removed from
53 michael 9684 `general::oper_only_umodes`, `general::oper_umodes`, and `operator::umodes`.
54     `flood` has been added instead to these configuration directives.
55 michael 9699 * Stricten server/user ID validation. IDs have to be all uppercase everywhere now.

64 michael 9652
65    
66     -- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.32 (2020-08-16)
67     * `RESV` couldn't be issued in case no reason has been supplied. This has been fixed.
68     * Fixed possible `RPL_WHOISCHANNELS` line truncation of remote replies
69     * Extban $t of type `matching` has been implemented. This extban allows matching
70     based on TLS protocol version and/or cipher suite
71     * Implemented channel mode `K`. `KNOCK` cannot be used on channels with that mode set
72     * `STATS ?` is now oper-only
73     * For a full list of all changes in this release, see <https://git.io/JUZa1>
74    
75    
76 michael 9371 -- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.31 (2020-05-03)
77 michael 9652 * macOS compatibility fixes
78     * Removed `spoof_notice` from `auth::flags`. With vhosts now this notice doesn't make
79     much sense anymore
80     * Fixed issue where ban masks might become malformed if set by remote clients/servers
81     * Fixed issue with channel mode +c where high ascii characters can be erroneously
82     detected as control characters
83     * For a full list of all changes in this release, see <https://git.io/JUZa6>
84 michael 9371
85    
86 michael 9309 -- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.30 (2020-03-01)
87 michael 9654 * `QUOTE HELP extban` didn't work because the extban help file hasn't been
88 michael 9652 installed properly during `make install`
89     * Fixed broken libcrypto detection which caused the ircd not to work with
90 michael 9684 OpenSSL under certain circumstances
91 michael 9652 * Extban $n of type `acting` has been implemented. This extban prevents
92     matching users from changing their nick while in the channel. Users
93     with voice or above are not affected.
94     * Channel mode +N has been changed so channel members with +v can change
95     their nick name as well
96     * For a full list of all changes in this release, see <https://git.io/JfOyF>
97 michael 9292
98    
99     -- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.29 (2020-02-19)

103 michael 9666
104     * `$a:<account>` Matches users logged into a matching account.
105     * `$c:<channel>` Matches users that are on the given channel. An additional
106     prefix of either @, %, or + can be specified to test for
107     certain channel privileges.
108     * `$o:<class>` Matches IRC operators that have joined a class
109     matching the mask.
110     * `$r:<realname>` Matches users with a matching realname.

113     * `$z:<certfp>` Matches users having the given TLS certificate fingerprint.
114    
115 michael 9652 Acting:
116 michael 9292
117 michael 9666 * `$j:<banmask>` Prevents matching users from joining the channel.
118     * `$m:<banmask>` Blocks messages from matching users. Users with voice
119     or above are not affected.
120    
121     For more details, see `help/extban`.
122 michael 9658 * Added `channel::enable_extbans` configuration option. See `doc/reference.conf`
123 michael 9652 for more information.

131     from bypassing channel bans by activating a fakehost
132     * For a full list of all changes in this release, see <https://git.io/Jv37M>
133 michael 9232
134    
135     -- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.27 (2020-01-22)
136 michael 9652 * Experimental support for wolfSSL has been implemented. Minimum supported version is 4.3.0
137     * The `--enable-openssl`, `--enable-gnutls` switches, and their disabling counterparts
138     `--disable-openssl` and `--disable-gnutls`, have been replaced with the `--with-tls`
139     switch which takes one of the following options: `openssl`, `wolfssl`, `gnutls`,
140     and `none`.
141     If nothing has been specified, configure tries to autodetect in the following order:
142 michael 9684 OpenSSL/LibreSSL -> GnuTLS -> wolfSSL.
143 michael 9652 * Fixed segfault with GnuTLS/libgmp in case there's no DH parameters file
144     defined in `serverinfo::ssl_dh_param_file` or if that file is missing
145     * The connection timeout for connect{} blocks can now be configured via
146     the `connect::timeout` configuration directive
147     * Minimum supported OpenSSL version is 1.1.1 now
148     * Minimum supported GnuTLS version is 3.6.5 now
149     * Supported TLSv1.3 cipher suites can now be configured explicitely via the

151     * In the serverinfo {} block, the following configuration directives have been renamed:
152     `ssl_certificate_file` -> `tls_certificate_file`
153     `ssl_dh_param_file` -> `tls_dh_param_file`
154     `ssl_dh_elliptic_curve` -> `tls_supported_groups`

156     `ssl_message_digest_algorithm` -> `tls_message_digest_algorithm`
157     * In the operator {} block, the following configuration directives have been renamed:
158     `ssl_certificate_fingerprint -> `tls_certificate_fingerprint`
159     `ssl_connection_required -> `tls_connection_required`
160     * In the connect {} block, the following configuration directives have been renamed:
161     `ssl_cipher_list -> `tls_cipher_list`
162     `ssl_certificate_fingerprint -> `tls_certificate_fingerprint`
163     * For a full list of all changes in this release, see <https://git.io/Jvq9g>

165    
166 michael 9052 -- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.26 (2019-05-31)
167 michael 9652 * The `general::tkline_expire_notices` configuration directive has been

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

177     configuration directives have been replaced with just `class::number_per_ip_local`
178     and `class::number_per_ip_global`. The `class::max_local` basically was
179     redundant as it had the same functionality as `class::number_per_ip`
180     * Adding RESVs with wildcards no longer requires administrator privileges
181     * The `general::ignore_bogus_ts` configuration option has been deprecated
182     * TLSv1.1 and TLSv1.0 are no longer supported and have been disabled in
183 michael 9684 the OpenSSL and GnuTLS module
184 michael 9652 * Minimum supported OpenSSL version is 1.0.1f now
185     * Minimum supported GnuTLS version is 3.5.8 now
186     * The `serverinfo::vhost` and `serverinfo:vhost6` configuration directives have
187     been deprecated. If you need to bind() a specific address you can specify one
188     in the connect {} block
189     * The `connect::vhost` configuration directive has been renamed to `connect::bind`
190     * For a full list of all changes in this release, see <https://git.io/fjRVk>

203     and `WHOIS` even if the user has a fakehost/vhost
204 michael 9652 * `RPL_WELCOME` now does use the rfc2812 style nick!user@host format
205     * Removed rudimentary libgeoip support
206 michael 9656 * Added `--enable-efence` switch to allow easy linking with the
207 michael 9652 electric fence memory debugger library

214    
215 michael 8086 -- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.22 (2017-03-26)
216 michael 9652 * Implemented channel mode `L`. Channels with that mode set can make use of an
217     extended ban list size specified with the new `channel::max_bans_large`
218 michael 9658 configuraton option. This mode can be set only by IRC operators or servers.
219 michael 9652 * Implemented channel mode `u` which hides bmask (+b/+e/+I) lists and mode changes
220     to non-chanops everywhere
221     * Fixed an issue with `TRACE` where remote servers would reply with `RPL_TRACEUSER`
222     numerics containing UIDs
223     * `STATS z` now shows simple memory stats of servers linked to the network

229 michael 9652 * The `general::default_floodtime` configuration option has been added
230     along with the `SET FLOODTIME` command. These allow to fine-tune the
231     message throttling better
232 michael 9656 * Fixed an issue with `INVITE` not showing the list of channels the
233 michael 9652 sender is invited to

300 michael 7366
301    
302 michael 7204 -- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.13 (2016-02-02)
303 michael 9652 * Implemented support for GnuTLS. Currently ./configure's autodetection
304     intentionally prefers OpenSSL over GnuTLS, so OpenSSL detection needs
305 michael 9654 to be disabled explicitely by using the `--disable-openssl` switch.
306 michael 9652 * Minimum supported GnuTLS version is 3.3.8 now
307     * Minimum supported OpenSSL version is 1.0.1d now

314    
315 michael 7043 -- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.12 (2016-01-05)
316 michael 9652 * **IMPORTANT:** Character case mapping is `ascii` now. It is recommended
317     to update all servers on the network to prevent possible channel
318     desynchronizations and nick name collision kills
319 michael 9684 * Added channel mode `T` which forbids `NOTICE` to be sent to a channel
320 michael 9656 * Fixed minor `SVSTAG` memory leak
321     * Fixed broken `PART` message blocking mechanism
322 michael 9652 * ircd now makes use of up to 8 name servers that are specified in
323 michael 9658 `/etc/resolv.conf`
324 michael 9654 * The `-klinefile`, `-dlinefile`, etc. switches didn't work at all
325 michael 9652 * Fixed possible core on ident lookups if ircd is out of file descriptors
326     * Far client exit notices (+F) now show IP addresses, too
327     * Made idle time look nicer in `STATS v|p` by using a formatted time string
328     * `general::ts_warn_delta`, and `general::ts_max_delta` can be set to 0 now
329     * For a full list of all changes in this release, see <https://git.io/JvLtj>

338    
339 michael 6738 -- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.10 (2015-11-06)
340 michael 9652 * **IMPORTANT:** renamed `serverhide::links_delay` configuration directive
341     to `serverhide::flatten_links_delay`
342     * Added `serverhide::flatten_links_file` configuration option
343     * Fixed bug where changing `serverhide::flatten_links_delay` on runtime
344     would not have any effect
345 michael 9684 * mkpasswd (tools): fixed broken bcrypt support on *BSD in conjunction with
346     the `-s` and `-l` switches. Dropped MD5, DES and Extended DES support.
347 michael 9654 * Removed `CHALLENGE` in favor of ssl certificate fingerprint enabled
348 michael 9652 operator {} blocks
349     * RSA keys with less than 2048 bits are no longer supported; same applies
350     to the DH param file
351 michael 9658 * Added missing IRC operator privilege flags to `STATS o`. For a full list
352     of flags see `doc/reference.conf`
353 michael 9652 * For a full list of all changes in this release, see <https://git.io/JvLqJ>

716     fingerprints
717     * Added `operator::ssl_connection_required` configuration option. See
718 michael 9658 `doc/reference.conf` for more information
719 michael 9750 * Added user mode +S (client is connected via SSL/TLS). Allows services
720 michael 9652 to keep track of what users are connected via SSL, and allows to see

730     have the +l mode set
731 michael 9652 * Fixed bug where non-SSL clients could join +S channels on non-SSL servers

746 michael 9652 * Removed `remote`, and `global_kill` oper flags, and added `connect`,
747     `squit`, and `kill` flags for better fine-tuning instead. Whether or
748     not a specific action is allowed on a remote server can be controlled
749     by appending the `:remote` flag. For example: `kill` allows only local
750 michael 9666 clients to be killed, whereas `kill:remote` allows to issue a `KILL` for
751 michael 9652 remote clients

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

770     that has this mode set
771     * Fixed bug where bans were not checked against non-channel members when
772     sending messages to a channel
773     * Removed `channel::quiet_on_ban` configuration option. This feature is

788 michael 9658 Read `doc/reference.conf` for more details
789 michael 9652 * Added `resv::exempt` configuration option. Exempt can be either a
790     ISO 3166 alpha-2 two letter country code, or a nick!user@host mask.
791     CIDR is supported
792     * Removed `channel::restrict_channels` configuration option
793     * Preliminary libGeoIP support. Currently only used for exempt entries
794     in resv {} blocks
795     * Improved WEBIRC authentication; added `webirc` to `auth::flags`.
796     A `webirc.` spoof is now no longer required
797     * Implemented new memory pool allocator which basically is based upon Tor's

918 michael 9750 was to let IRC operators join three times the amount of max_chans_per_user
919 michael 9656 * Replaced `MODLOAD`, `MODUNLOAD`, `MODRELOAD`, `MODLIST` and `MODRESTART`
920     commands with the new `MODULE` command which can be fed with the `LOAD,`
921     `UNLOAD`, `RELOAD` and `LIST` parameters.

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