# Line 1 | Line 1
1 < -- ircd-hybrid-7.3.0 Release Notes
2 < o) Added Bulgarian language file provided by Borislav Borisov
3 < o) Server hostmasking has been removed due to TS6 requirements
4 < o) Fixed broken IPv6 detection
5 < o) Minor code optimizations. Reduced memory consumption
6 < o) User IDs are now shown in client connection notices
7 < o) Increased maximum temporary kline time to 360 days
8 < o) Added back STATS/TRACE/MOTD/ADMIN request notices. Removed
9 <   spy_*_notice modules accordingly.
10 <
11 <
12 < -- ircd-hybrid-7.3-rc1 Release Notes
13 < o) Major 64-bit cleanups and portability fixes.
14 < o) Fixed bug where unregistered clients were not able to complete registration
15 <   process with /quote PONG <ping_cookie> in case the client was assigned a
16 <   zero value ping-cookie. This may only happen with general::ping_cookie
17 <   being enabled.
18 < o) "STATS z" now shows the actual amount of memory consumption being
19 <   used by channel bans/excepts/invites.
20 < o) Fixed archaic bug where bursting servers with missconfigured NICKLEN were
21 <   able to desync the network's nickname database.
22 < o) The PCRE library has been removed from the ircd sources. ./configure will
23 <   now automatically detect an already installed version of the PCRE library.
24 < o) Various resolver improvements and fixes
25 < o) Implemented GUNGLINE (global ungline)
26 < o) Completely rewrote build system. We're now using automake and libtool
27 < o) Added support for SHA-256/512 encrypted passwords to mkpasswd. Whether
28 <   passwords hashed using these algorithms will work depends on the system's
29 <   crypt() implementation. For example, SHA-256/512 is available in glibc since
30 <   version 2.7.
31 < o) Added ssl_server_protocol configuration option to servinfo{}.
32 <   Valid flags are 'sslv3' and 'tlsv1'
33 < o) Added new 'server' option to listener::flags. Listener with that flag
34 <   set may only accept server connections.
35 < o) Fixed occasional core when placing RESVs on channel names
36 < o) Fixed topic desynchronization which sometimes may
37 <   happen during netbursts
38 < o) WATCH support implemented. Known from other irc-daemons, such
39 <   as Dreamforge and Bahamut. The general::max_watch configuration directive
40 <   has been added in order to allow run-time configuration of how many
41 <   watch entries a single client may have on its watchlist.
42 < o) Fixed bug which would cause invalid invisible counts on oper-up in case
43 <   operator::umodes and/or general::oper_umodes contains 'invisible'
44 < o) Removed broken LazyLinks
45 < o) Removed --disable-gline-voting configure option
46 < o) Minor code optimizations and cleanups
47 < o) ACCEPT now supports nick!user@host masks
48 < o) Unregistered clients are no longer allowed to request the server's motd
49 < o) general::dot_in_ip6_addr configuration option is obsolete and no longer exists
50 < o) Dropped support for old style 'operflag = yes|no;' format
51 <

57 < o) Fixed core in temp channel resv
58 < o) Fixed CHALLENGE to work with user=IP
59 < o) Misc fixes to TESTMASK and TESTLINE
60 < o) Added support for nick masks to TESTMASK
61 < o) Fixed /modlist to show up whether or not a module is resident
62 < o) Fixed command line arguments handling to allow more than one switch
63 < o) Fixed numeric delivery for mixed TS5 target on the other side of a TS6 server.
64 <
65 <
66 < -- ircd-hybrid-7.2.2 Release Notes

71 < o) Fixed "STATS ?" so it doesn't report negative traffic statistics
72 < o) Fixed core in m_mkpasswd.c  (contrib)
73 < o) Reduced memory usage for channel members
74 < o) Added general::stats_e_disabled which simply disables "STATS e"
75 <   for other operators and administrators
76 < o) Ignore signal SIGXFSZ to prevent the daemon from dying on missconfigured
77 <   file size limits
78 < o) Slight optimizations to the block allocator
79 < o) Fixed harmless bug that could result in incorrect bytes sent statistics
80 <   in "STATS t"
81 < o) "STATS y|Y" now shows whether a class is active or disabled
82 < o) Added ircd-brazilian_pt.lang language file
83 < o) Misc. ACCEPT fixes. E.g. don't remove an accept record if a client is
84 <   changing between equivalent nicknames like 'nick' and 'NiCk'.
85 < o) Minor resolv.conf parser fixes.  Added missing support for ';' comments
86 < o) Fixed core on MODRESTART

1 > -- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.34 (2020-11-01)
2 > * Re-implement backwards compatibility mode for old ircd-hybrid 8.2.23 and below.
3 >  Final removal is scheduled for early 2021.
4 > * For consistency, the `general::network_desc` configuration directive has been
5 >  renamed to `general::network_description`
6 > * 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 > * Stricten server/user ID validation. IDs have to be all uppercase everywhere now.
15 > * For a full list of all changes in this release, see <https://git.io/JT7UH>
16 >
17 >
18 > -- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.33 (2020-09-07)

31 > * `STATS ?` is now oper-only
32 > * For a full list of all changes in this release, see <https://git.io/JUZa1>
33 >

52 >  with voice or above are not affected.
53 > * Channel mode +N has been changed so channel members with +v can change
54 >  their nick name as well
55 > * For a full list of all changes in this release, see <https://git.io/JfOyF>
56 >
57 >
58 > -- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.29 (2020-02-19)
59 > * Extbans have been implemented. Currently supported extbans:
60 >
61 >  Matching:
62 >
63 >  * `$a:<account>`   Matches users logged into a matching account.
64 >  * `$c:<channel>`   Matches users that are on the given channel. An additional

66 >                     certain channel privileges.
67 >  * `$o:<class>`     Matches IRC operators that have joined a class
68 >                     matching the mask.

74 >  Acting:
75 >
76 >  * `$j:<banmask>`   Prevents matching users from joining the channel.
77 >  * `$m:<banmask>`   Blocks messages from matching users. Users with voice
78 >                     or above are not affected.
79 >
80 >  For more details, see `help/extban`.
81 > * Added `channel::enable_extbans` configuration option. See `doc/reference.conf`

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:
101 >  OpenSSL/LibreSSL -> GnuTLS -> wolfSSL.
102 > * Fixed segfault with GnuTLS/libgmp in case there's no DH parameters file
103 >  defined in `serverinfo::ssl_dh_param_file` or if that file is missing

261 > -- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.13 (2016-02-02)
262 > * Implemented support for GnuTLS. Currently ./configure's autodetection
263 >  intentionally prefers OpenSSL over GnuTLS, so OpenSSL detection needs
264 >  to be disabled explicitely by using the `--disable-openssl` switch.
265 > * Minimum supported GnuTLS version is 3.3.8 now
266 > * Minimum supported OpenSSL version is 1.0.1d now

284 > * Fixed possible core on ident lookups if ircd is out of file descriptors
285 > * Far client exit notices (+F) now show IP addresses, too
286 > * Made idle time look nicer in `STATS v|p` by using a formatted time string

303 >  would not have any effect
304 > * mkpasswd (tools): fixed broken bcrypt support on *BSD in conjunction with
305 >  the `-s` and `-l` switches. Dropped MD5, DES and Extended DES support.
306 > * Removed `CHALLENGE` in favor of ssl certificate fingerprint enabled
307 >  operator {} blocks
308 > * RSA keys with less than 2048 bits are no longer supported; same applies
309 >  to the DH param file

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)

899 >  - Added services_name directive to general {} block
900 >  - Added `GLOBOPS` mainly for services compatibility, but can be used by operators, too
901 > * Removed `RKLINE` and `RXLINE` commands. Regular expression based bans should
902 >  only be added via `ircd.conf`
903 > * Added `globops`, `restart`, `dline`, `undline` and `module` operator privilege flags.
904 >  Read `doc/reference.conf` for further explanation of what these flags control
905 > * Removed Idle-time klines
906 > * Cleaned up modules API. Old modules won't work anymore

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

927 > * Added m_webirc.c to contrib/
928 > * Overall code cleanup and speed improvements
