6 > -- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.26 (2019-05-31)
7 > o) The 'general::tkline_expire_notices' configuration directive has been
8 >   replaced with user mode 'X'. *LINE expiration notices are sent to IRC
9 >   operators with that mode set
10 > o) Fixed issue with '/rehash conf' creating duplicated class entries
11 >   instead of updating existing ones that are already in use

17 >   configuration directives have been replaced with just 'class::number_per_ip_local'
18 >   and 'class::number_per_ip_global'. The 'class::max_local' basically was

58 >   configuraton option. This mode can be set only by irc-operators or servers.
59 > o) Implemented channel mode 'u' which hides bmask (+b/+e/+I) lists and mode changes

787     - Added SVSNICK, and SVSMODE command handlers
788     - Added service stamps to NICK/UID messages
789     - Added SVS to server capabilities (CAPAB). SVS capable servers can
790       deal with extended NICK/UID messages that contain service IDs/stamps.
791 <   - Usermode +r (registered nick) has been added, as well as
792 <     channelmode +r (registered channel)
793 <   - Now that usermode +r has a different function than before, rejected
22 <     client notices now go to new usermode +j
23 <   - Various services shortcuts have been added (/NS, /CS, /NICKSERV, /CHANSERV, etc.)
24 <   - Added channelmode +R (only registered clients may join that channel)
791 >   - Changed rejected client notices to go to new usermode +j.  These
792 >     previously used usermode +r.
793 >   - Added usermode +r (registered nick) and channelmode +r (registered channel)
794     - Added usermode +R (only registered clients may send a private message)
795 <   - Added services{} block to ircd.conf
796 <   - Added services_name directive to general{} block

813     hidden_oper operator flags. With usermode +H, irc operator status can now
814     be hidden even on remote servers
815 < o) Added CIDR support for operator{} blocks
816 < o) The servlink program has been removed. ircd-hybrid can now make use of SSL/TLS
