-<
+-- ircd-hybrid-8beta2 Release Notes
-<
+o) channel::disable_fake_channels now also disables ascii 29 (mIRC italic)
-<
+   when set to yes
-<
+o) Added channel::max_chans_per_oper configuration directive. The old way
-<
+   was to let ircops join three times the amount of max_chans_per_user
-<
-<
+-- ircd-hybrid-8beta1 Release Notes
-<
+o) Implemented full services support. Among other things, the following changes
-<
+   have been done for this:
-<
+   - Added SVSNICK, and SVSMODE command handlers
-<
+   - Added service stamps to NICK/UID messages
-<
+   - Added SVS to server capabilities (CAPAB). SVS capable servers can
-<
+     deal with extended NICK/UID messages that contain service IDs/stamps.
-<
+   - Usermode +r (registered nick) has been added, as well as
-<
+     channelmode +r (registered channel)
-<
+   - Now that usermode +r has a different function than before, rejected
-<
+     client notices now go to new usermode +j
-<
+   - Various services shortcuts have been added (/NS, /CS, /NICKSERV, /CHANSERV, etc.)
-<
+   - Added channelmode +R (only registered clients may join that channel)
-<
+   - Added usermode +R (only registered clients may send a private message)
-<
+   - Added services{} block to ircd.conf
-<
+   - Added services_name directive to general{} block
-<
+   - Added GLOBOPS mainly for services compatibility, but can be used by operators, too
-<
+o) RKLINE and RXLINE commands have been removed. Regular expression based
-<
+   bans should only be added via ircd.conf
-<
+o) Added 'globops', 'restart', 'dline', 'undline' and 'module' operator privilege flags.
-<
+   Read doc/example.conf for further explanation of what these flags
-<
+   are supposed to be doing
-<
+o) Idle-time klines have been removed
-<
+o) Cleaned up modules API. Old modules won't work anymore
-<
+o) Remove general::burst_away configuration directive. AWAY bursts are now
-<
+   controlled via connect::flags explicitly
-<
+o) Introduced new logging subsystem including log rotation based on
-<
+   file sizes. Log timestamp format is ISO8601 now
-<
+o) Added support for remote D-lines
-<
+o) Added usermode +H which is basically a replacement for the hidden_admin and
-<
+   hidden_oper operator flags. With usermode +H, irc operator status can now
-<
+   be hidden even on remote servers
-<
+o) Added CIDR support for operator{} blocks
-<
+o) The servlink program has been removed. ircd-hybrid can now make use of SSL/TLS
-<
+   for inter-server communication.
-<
+   NOTE: compressed server links are of course still available, but a SSL/TLS
-<
+   connection is required, as compression is now handled via the OpenSSL library
-<
+o) Removed 'ssl_server_protocol' configuration directive and
-<
+   added 'ssl_client_method' and 'ssl_server_method' instead.
-<
+   Both of these options can now be changed at runtime
-<
+o) Oper login IDs are no longer limited to NICKLEN*2
-<
+o) Removed channel::burst_topicwho configuration option. Topicsetters are
-<
+   now sent by default
-<
+o) "STATS Y|y" now reports CIDR limits as well
-<
+o) Added m_webirc.c to contrib/
-<
+o) Overall code cleanup and speed improvements

->
+-- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.32 (2020-08-16)
->
+* `RESV` couldn't be issued in case no reason has been supplied. This has been fixed.
->
+* Fixed possible `RPL_WHOISCHANNELS` line truncation of remote replies
->
+* Extban $t of type `matching` has been implemented. This extban allows matching
->
+  based on TLS protocol version and/or cipher suite
->
+* Implemented channel mode `K`. `KNOCK` cannot be used on channels with that mode set
->
+* `STATS ?` is now oper-only
->
+* For a full list of all changes in this release, see <https://git.io/JUZa1>
->
->
->
+-- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.31 (2020-05-03)
->
+* macOS compatibility fixes
->
+* Removed `spoof_notice` from `auth::flags`. With vhosts now this notice doesn't make
->
+  much sense anymore
->
+* Fixed issue where ban masks might become malformed if set by remote clients/servers
->
+* Fixed issue with channel mode +c where high ascii characters can be erroneously
->
+  detected as control characters
->
+* For a full list of all changes in this release, see <https://git.io/JUZa6>
->
->
->
+-- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.30 (2020-03-01)
->
+* `QUOTE HELP extban` didn't work because the extban help file hasn't been
->
+  installed properly during `make install`
->
+* Fixed broken libcrypto detection which caused the ircd not to work with
->
+  openssl under certain circumstances
->
+* Extban $n of type `acting` has been implemented. This extban prevents
->
+  matching users from changing their nick while in the channel. Users
->
+  with voice or above are not affected.
->
+* Channel mode +N has been changed so channel members with +v can change
->
+  their nick name as well
->
+* For a full list of all changes in this release, see <https://git.io/JfOyF>
->
->
->
+-- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.29 (2020-02-19)
->
+* Extbans have been implemented. Currently supported extbans:
->
->
+  Matching:
->
->
+  * `$a:<account>`   Matches users logged into a matching account.
->
+  * `$c:<channel>`   Matches users that are on the given channel. An additional
->
+                     prefix of either @, %, or + can be specified to test for
->
+                     certain channel privileges.
->
+  * `$o:<class>`     Matches IRC operators that have joined a class
->
+                     matching the mask.
->
+  * `$r:<realname>`  Matches users with a matching realname.
->
+  * `$s:<server>`    Matches users that are connected to a server matching the mask.
->
+  * `$u:<modes>`     Matches users having the specified user modes set or not set.
->
+  * `$z:<certfp>`    Matches users having the given TLS certificate fingerprint.
->
->
+  Acting:
->
->
+  * `$j:<banmask>`   Prevents matching users from joining the channel.
->
+  * `$m:<banmask>`   Blocks messages from matching users. Users with voice
->
+                     or above are not affected.
->
->
+  For more details, see `help/extban`.
->
+* Added `channel::enable_extbans` configuration option. See `doc/reference.conf`
->
+  for more information.
->

->
->
+-- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.28 (2020-01-26)
->
+* Fixed issue with topics set by `TBURST` not being propagated properly to clients
->
+* Allow IRC operators to search for real hosts in `WHO`
->
+* Ban/exempt/invex masks are now also tested against realhosts to prevent clients
->
+  from bypassing channel bans by activating a fakehost
->
+* For a full list of all changes in this release, see <https://git.io/Jv37M>
->
->
->
+-- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.27 (2020-01-22)
->
+* Experimental support for wolfSSL has been implemented. Minimum supported version is 4.3.0
->
+* The `--enable-openssl`, `--enable-gnutls` switches, and their disabling counterparts
->
+  `--disable-openssl` and `--disable-gnutls`, have been replaced with the `--with-tls`
->
+  switch which takes one of the following options: `openssl`, `wolfssl`, `gnutls`,
->
+  and `none`.
->
+  If nothing has been specified, configure tries to autodetect in the following order:
->
+  openssl/libressl -> gnutls -> wolfssl.
->
+* Fixed segfault with GnuTLS/libgmp in case there's no DH parameters file
->
+  defined in `serverinfo::ssl_dh_param_file` or if that file is missing
->
+* The connection timeout for connect{} blocks can now be configured via
->
+  the `connect::timeout` configuration directive
->
+* Minimum supported OpenSSL version is 1.1.1 now
->
+* Minimum supported GnuTLS version is 3.6.5 now
->
+* Supported TLSv1.3 cipher suites can now be configured explicitely via the
->
+  new `serverinfo::tls_cipher_suites` configuration directive
->
+* In the serverinfo {} block, the following configuration directives have been renamed:
->
+    `ssl_certificate_file` -> `tls_certificate_file`
->
+    `ssl_dh_param_file` -> `tls_dh_param_file`
->
+    `ssl_dh_elliptic_curve` -> `tls_supported_groups`
->
+    `ssl_cipher_list` -> `tls_cipher_list`
->
+    `ssl_message_digest_algorithm` -> `tls_message_digest_algorithm`

->
+    `ssl_cipher_list -> `tls_cipher_list`
->
+    `ssl_certificate_fingerprint -> `tls_certificate_fingerprint`
->
+* For a full list of all changes in this release, see <https://git.io/Jvq9g>
->
->
->
+-- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.26 (2019-05-31)
->
+* The `general::tkline_expire_notices` configuration directive has been
->

+  and `class::number_per_ip_global`. The `class::max_local` basically was
->
+  redundant as it had the same functionality as `class::number_per_ip`
->
+* Adding RESVs with wildcards no longer requires administrator privileges
->
+* The `general::ignore_bogus_ts` configuration option has been deprecated
->
+* TLSv1.1 and TLSv1.0 are no longer supported and have been disabled in
->
+  the openssl and gnutls module

+* Minimum supported OpenSSL version is 1.0.1f now
->
+* Minimum supported GnuTLS version is 3.5.8 now

+  been deprecated. If you need to bind() a specific address you can specify one
->
+  in the connect {} block
->
+* The `connect::vhost` configuration directive has been renamed to `connect::bind`
->
+* For a full list of all changes in this release, see <https://git.io/fjRVk>

->
->
->
+-- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.22 (2017-03-26)
->
+* Implemented channel mode `L`. Channels with that mode set can make use of an
->
+  extended ban list size specified with the new `channel::max_bans_large`
->
+  configuraton option. This mode can be set only by IRC operators or servers.
->
+* Implemented channel mode `u` which hides bmask (+b/+e/+I) lists and mode changes
->
+  to non-chanops everywhere
->
+* Fixed an issue with `TRACE` where remote servers would reply with `RPL_TRACEUSER`
->
+  numerics containing UIDs
->
+* `STATS z` now shows simple memory stats of servers linked to the network
->
+* Added support for remote `ETRACE`
->
+* For a full list of all changes in this release, see <https://git.io/fjRVO>
->
->
->
+-- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.21 (2016-11-27)
->
+* The `general::default_floodtime` configuration option has been added
->
+  along with the `SET FLOODTIME` command. These allow to fine-tune the
->
+  message throttling better
->
+* Fixed an issue with `INVITE` not showing the list of channels the
->
+  sender is invited to
->

->
+  to support multibyte encodings better
->
+* For a full list of all changes in this release, see <https://git.io/fjRVZ>

->
+* Minimum supported OpenSSL version is 1.0.1d now

->
+  to update all servers on the network to prevent possible channel
->
+  desynchronizations and nick name collision kills
->
+* Added channel mode +T which forbids `NOTICE` to be sent to a channel
->
+* Fixed minor `SVSTAG` memory leak
->
+* Fixed broken `PART` message blocking mechanism
->

->
+* Made idle time look nicer in `STATS v|p` by using a formatted time string
->
+* `general::ts_warn_delta`, and `general::ts_max_delta` can be set to 0 now
->
+* For a full list of all changes in this release, see <https://git.io/JvLtj>

->
+* Fixed bug where changing `serverhide::flatten_links_delay` on runtime
->
+  would not have any effect
->
+* mkpasswd (tools): fixed broken bcrypt support on *BSD in conjunction
->
+  with the -s and -l switches. Dropped MD5, DES and Extended DES support.
->
+* Removed `CHALLENGE` in favor of ssl certificate fingerprint enabled
->
+  operator {} blocks
->
+* RSA keys with less than 2048 bits are no longer supported; same applies
->
+  to the DH param file
->
+* Added missing IRC operator privilege flags to `STATS o`. For a full list
->
+  of flags see `doc/reference.conf`
->
+* For a full list of all changes in this release, see <https://git.io/JvLqJ>
->
->
->
+-- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.9 (2015-09-13)
->
+* **IMPORTANT:** database files and links.txt are now stored in `/var/lib`
->
+  instead of `/etc`, so make sure to move your k/d/x-line database files
->
+  to the new path before (re)starting the ircd
->
+* **IMPORTANT:** the splitmode logic has been removed along with the
->
+  following channel {} block configuration directives:
->
+  `default_split_user_count`, `default_split_server_count`,
->
+  `no_create_on_split`, `no_join_on_split`
->
+* Added `xline_exempt` to auth {} block flags

+* Various fixes to the mkpasswd tool
->
+* If supported by the compiler, ircd-hybrid now compiles with
->
+  `-fstack-protector-strong` instead of `-fstack-protector`
->
+* Services can now add RESVs (SQLINEs) that have wildcards in it
->
+* Channel name RESVs are now sanity checked for too broad masks
->
+* `class::connectfreq` now works properly with values lower than 300 seconds
->
+* Implemented IRCv3.1 `account-notify` extension
->
+* The `general::oper_pass_resv` configuration directive has been deprecated
->
+  in favor of the new `join:resv`, and `nick:resv` IRC operator flags.
->
+  See `doc/reference.conf` for more information.
->
+* Added `resv`, and `unresv` IRC operator flags. Previously, all
->
+  IRC operators were allowed to `RESV` and `UNRESV`, regardless of configured
->
+  privileges.
->
+* Added `close` to IRC operator flags
->
+* ircd is using ISO 8601 date and time notation in most places now

->
+  they potentially could leak passwords and other sensitive data to irc
->
+  operators that don't have administrator privileges
->
+* The `GLINE`/`GUNGLINE` commands have been removed. `KLINE` in conjunction
->
+  with cluster {} and/or shared {} blocks is now the recommended
->
+  way to add global user@host mask based server bans

+* Added `dline_min_cidr`, `dline_min_cidr6`, `kline_min_cidr`, and
->
+ `kline_min_cidr6` configuration options to the general {} block

+* Removed useless help files for inter-server commands
->
+* For a full list of all changes in this release, see <https://git.io/JfOyA>
->
->

+-- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.6 (2015-03-29)
->
+* `INFO` now shows configured values of `max_watch` and `stats_m_oper_only`

->
+  limit of max `WHOWAS` entries to be returned
->
+* For a full list of all changes in this release, see <https://git.io/JTTuf>

+* Removed &localchannels
->
+* `PRIVMSG` to opers@some.server is no longer supported
->
+* Fixed bug that could lead to topic desynchronization
->
+* Removed `serverhide::disable_hidden` configuration option
->
+* Dropped ircd-hybrid-6 `GLINE` compatibility mode
->
+* Removed `use_invex`, `use_except` and `use_knock` configuration options.
->
+  These features are now enabled by default
->
->
->
+-- Noteworthy changes in version 8.0.0beta2 (2012-07-21)
->
+* `channel::disable_fake_channels` now also disables ascii 29 (mIRC italic)
->
+  when set to yes
->
+* Added `channel::max_chans_per_oper` configuration directive. The old way
->
+  was to let operators join three times the amount of max_chans_per_user
->
+* Replaced `MODLOAD`, `MODUNLOAD`, `MODRELOAD`, `MODLIST` and `MODRESTART`
->
+  commands with the new `MODULE` command which can be fed with the `LOAD,`
->
+  `UNLOAD`, `RELOAD` and `LIST` parameters.
->
+  `MODRESTART` has been entirely removed. Use `MODULE RELOAD *` to reload
->
+  all modules
->
+* Added back server notice when a client tries to obtain a reserved nick name
->
+* Removed `OMOTD` module
->
+* Added `set` to operator privilege flags. Gives access to the `SET` command
->
+* Improved TS6 support
->
+* Channel keys/passwords are now case sensitive
->
->
->
+-- Noteworthy changes in version 8.0.0beta1 (2012-05-28)
->
+* Implemented full services support, including but not limited to the
->
+  following changes:
->
+  - Added `SVSNICK`, and `SVSMODE` command handlers
->
+  - Added service stamps to `NICK`/`UID` messages
->
+  - Added SVS to server capabilities (`CAPAB`). SVS capable servers can
->
+    deal with extended `NICK`/`UID` messages that contain service IDs/stamps.
->
+  - Changed rejected client notices to go to new usermode +j. These
->
+    previously used usermode +r.
->
+  - Added usermode +r (registered nick) and channelmode +r (registered channel)
->
+  - Added usermode +R (only registered clients may send a private message)
->
+  - Added channelmode +R (only registered clients may join that channel)
->
+  - Various services shortcuts have been added (`NS`, `CS`, `NICKSERV`, `CHANSERV`, etc.)
->
+  - Added services {} block to `ircd.conf`
->
+  - Added services_name directive to general {} block
->
+  - Added `GLOBOPS` mainly for services compatibility, but can be used by operators, too
->
+* Removed `RKLINE` and `RXLINE` commands. Regular expression based bans should
->
+  only be added via `ircd.conf`
->
+* Added `globops`, `restart`, `dline`, `undline` and `module` operator privilege flags.
->
+  Read `doc/reference.conf` for further explanation of what these flags control
->
+* Removed Idle-time klines
->
+* Cleaned up modules API. Old modules won't work anymore
->
+* Removed `general::burst_away` configuration directive. AWAY bursts are now
->
+  controlled via `connect::flags` explicitly
->
+* Introduced new logging subsystem including log rotation based on
->
+  file sizes. Log timestamp format is ISO8601 now
->
+* Added support for remote D-lines
->
+* Added usermode +H which is basically a replacement for the hidden_admin and
->
+  `hidden_oper` operator flags. With usermode +H, irc operator status can now
->
+  be hidden even on remote servers
->
+* Added CIDR support for operator {} blocks
->
+* Removed the servlink program. ircd-hybrid can now make use of
->
+  SSL/TLS for inter-server communication.
->
+  NOTE: compressed server links are of course still available, but a SSL/TLS
->
+  connection is required, as compression is now handled via OpenSSL
->
+* Removed `ssl_server_protocol` configuration directive and
->
+  added `ssl_client_method` and `ssl_server_method` instead.
->
+  Both of these options can now be changed at runtime
->
+* Oper login IDs are no longer limited to NICKLEN*2
->
+* Removed `channel::burst_topicwho` configuration option. This feature is now
->
+  enabled by default
->
+* `STATS Y|y` now reports CIDR limits as well
->
+* Added m_webirc.c to contrib/
->
+* Overall code cleanup and speed improvements
->
