-- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.15 (2016-02-24) |
| 7 |
o) Added proper support for Raspbian/ARM. Gracias to Beave/2600.net |
| 8 |
for providing a box for testing purposes. |
| 9 |
o) Fixed an assert with empty user = "" directives in auth {} blocks |
| 10 |
o) "STATS z" now shows allocated listeners |
| 11 |
o) Fixed bug where 'can_flood' auth {} flags did not work on channels |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
-- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.14 (2016-02-09) |
| 15 |
o) Fixed server clustering |
| 16 |
o) Major cleanups to the configuration subsystem |
| 17 |
o) Improvements to libGeoIP support: |
| 18 |
- Works now with IPv6 addresses |
| 19 |
- Added 'libgeoip_database_options', 'libgeoip_ipv4_database_file', |
| 20 |
and 'libgeoip_ipv6_database_file' configuration directives to the |
| 21 |
serverinfo {} block |
| 22 |
o) Further improvements to GnuTLS support |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
-- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.13 (2016-02-02) |
| 26 |
o) Implemented support for GnuTLS. Currently ./configure's autodetection |
| 27 |
intentionally prefers OpenSSL over GnuTLS, so OpenSSL detection needs |
| 28 |
to be disabled explicitely by using the --disable-openssl switch. |
| 29 |
o) Minimum supported GnuTLS version is 3.3.8 now |
| 30 |
o) Minimum supported OpenSSL version is 1.0.1d now |
| 31 |

| 32 |
o) Added 'rehash:remote' irc-operator privilege flag |
| 33 |

| 38 |
####################################################################### |
| 39 |
o) IMPORTANT: Character case mapping is 'ascii' now. It is recommended |
| 40 |
to update all servers on the network to prevent possible channel |
| 41 |
desynchronizations and nick name collision kills |
| 42 |
####################################################################### |
| 43 |
o) Added channel mode +T which forbids NOTICEs to be sent to a channel |
| 44 |
o) Fixed minor SVSTAG memory leak |
| 45 |
o) Fixed broken PART message blocking mechanism |
| 46 |
o) ircd now makes use of up to 8 name servers that are specified in |

| 53 |
o) Several code cleanups and optimizations. Improved documentation |

| 65 |
to 'serverhide::flatten_links_delay' |
| 66 |
####################################################################### |
| 67 |
o) Added 'serverhide::flatten_links_file' configuration option |
| 68 |
o) Fixed bug where changing 'serverhide::flatten_links_delay' on runtime |
| 69 |
would not have any effect |
| 70 |
o) mkpasswd (tools): fixed broken bcrypt support on *BSD in conjunction |
| 71 |
with the -s and -l switches. Dropped MD5, DES and Extended DES support. |
| 72 |
o) Removed CHALLENGE in favor of ssl certificate fingerprint enabled |
| 73 |

| 81 |
######################################################################## |
| 82 |
o) IMPORTANT: database files and links.txt are now stored in /var/lib |
| 83 |

| 84 |
to the new path before (re)starting the ircd |
| 85 |
######################################################################## |
| 86 |
o) IMPORTANT: the splitmode logic has been removed along with the |
| 87 |

'default_split_user_count', 'default_split_server_count', |
| 89 |
'no_create_on_split', 'no_join_on_split' |
| 90 |
######################################################################## |
| 91 |

| 103 |
See doc/reference.conf for more information. |
| 104 |
o) Added 'resv', and 'unresv' irc-operator flags. Previously, all |

| 113 |
have at least 'general::min_nonwildcard' non-wildcard characters in it |
| 114 |

| 115 |
they potentially could leak passwords and other sensitive data to irc |
| 116 |
operators that don't have administrator privileges |

way to add global user@host mask based server bans |
| 120 |
o) Added dline_min_cidr, dline_min_cidr6, kline_min_cidr, and kline_min_cidr6 |
| 121 |

not a specific action is allowed on a remote server can be controlled |
| 479 |
by appending the ':remote' flag. For example: 'kill' allows only local |
| 480 |
clients to be killed, whereas 'kill:remote' allows to issue a KILL for |
| 481 |

o) Fixed bug where bans were not checked against non-channel members when |
| 502 |
sending messages to a channel |

| 654 |

| 655 |
with the new MODULE command which can be fed with the LOAD, UNLOAD, RELOAD |

| 668 |
following changes: |
| 669 |
- Added SVSNICK, and SVSMODE command handlers |
| 670 |
- Added service stamps to NICK/UID messages |
| 671 |
- Added SVS to server capabilities (CAPAB). SVS capable servers can |
| 672 |
deal with extended NICK/UID messages that contain service IDs/stamps. |
| 673 |
- Changed rejected client notices to go to new usermode +j. These |
| 674 |
previously used usermode +r. |
| 675 |
- Added usermode +r (registered nick) and channelmode +r (registered channel) |
| 676 |
- Added usermode +R (only registered clients may send a private message) |
| 677 |
- Added channelmode +R (only registered clients may join that channel) |
| 678 |
- Various services shortcuts have been added (/NS, /CS, /NICKSERV, /CHANSERV, etc.) |
| 679 |
- Added services {} block to ircd.conf |
| 680 |
- Added services_name directive to general {} block |
| 681 |
- Added GLOBOPS mainly for services compatibility, but can be used by operators, too |
| 682 |
o) Removed RKLINE and RXLINE commands. Regular expression based bans should |
| 683 |
only be added via ircd.conf |
| 684 |
o) Added 'globops', 'restart', 'dline', 'undline' and 'module' operator |
| 685 |
privilege flags. Read doc/reference.conf for further explanation of what |
| 686 |
these flags control |
| 687 |
o) Removed Idle-time klines |
| 688 |
o) Cleaned up modules API. Old modules won't work anymore |
| 689 |

| 690 |
controlled via 'connect::flags' explicitly |
| 691 |
o) Introduced new logging subsystem including log rotation based on |
| 692 |
file sizes. Log timestamp format is ISO8601 now |
| 693 |
o) Added support for remote D-lines |
| 694 |
o) Added usermode +H which is basically a replacement for the hidden_admin and |
| 695 |
hidden_oper operator flags. With usermode +H, irc operator status can now |
| 696 |
be hidden even on remote servers |
| 697 |
o) Added CIDR support for operator {} blocks |
| 698 |
o) Removed the servlink program. ircd-hybrid can now make use of |
| 699 |
SSL/TLS for inter-server communication. |
| 700 |
NOTE: compressed server links are of course still available, but a SSL/TLS |
| 701 |
connection is required, as compression is now handled via OpenSSL |
| 702 |
o) Removed 'ssl_server_protocol' configuration directive and |
| 703 |
added 'ssl_client_method' and 'ssl_server_method' instead. |
| 704 |
Both of these options can now be changed at runtime |
| 705 |
o) Oper login IDs are no longer limited to NICKLEN*2 |
| 706 |
o) Removed 'channel::burst_topicwho' configuration option. This feature is now |
| 707 |
enabled by default |
| 708 |
o) "STATS Y|y" now reports CIDR limits as well |
| 709 |
o) Added m_webirc.c to contrib/ |
| 710 |
o) Overall code cleanup and speed improvements |
