144 < -- ircd-hybrid-8beta1 Release Notes
145 < o) Implemented full services support, including but not limited to the
146 <   following changes:
147 <   - Added SVSNICK, and SVSMODE command handlers
148 <   - Added service stamps to NICK/UID messages
149 <   - Added SVS to server capabilities (CAPAB). SVS capable servers can
150 <     deal with extended NICK/UID messages that contain service IDs/stamps.
151 <   - Changed rejected client notices to go to new usermode +j.  These
152 <     previously used usermode +r.
153 <   - Added usermode +r (registered nick) and channelmode +r (registered channel)
154 <   - Added usermode +R (only registered clients may send a private message)
155 <   - Added channelmode +R (only registered clients may join that channel)
156 <   - Various services shortcuts have been added (/NS, /CS, /NICKSERV, /CHANSERV, etc.)
157 <   - Added services{} block to ircd.conf
158 <   - Added services_name directive to general{} block
159 <   - Added GLOBOPS mainly for services compatibility, but can be used by operators, too
160 < o) Removed RKLINE and RXLINE commands. Regular expression based bans should
161 <   only be added via ircd.conf
162 < o) Added 'globops', 'restart', 'dline', 'undline' and 'module' operator
163 <   privilege flags. Read doc/reference.conf for further explanation of what
164 <   these flags control
165 < o) Removed Idle-time klines
166 < o) Cleaned up modules API. Old modules won't work anymore
167 < o) Removed general::burst_away configuration directive. AWAY bursts are now
168 <   controlled via connect::flags explicitly
169 < o) Introduced new logging subsystem including log rotation based on
170 <   file sizes. Log timestamp format is ISO8601 now
171 < o) Added support for remote D-lines
172 < o) Added usermode +H which is basically a replacement for the hidden_admin and
173 <   hidden_oper operator flags. With usermode +H, irc operator status can now
174 <   be hidden even on remote servers
175 < o) Added CIDR support for operator{} blocks
176 < o) Removed the servlink program. ircd-hybrid can now make use of
177 <   SSL/TLS for inter-server communication.
178 <   NOTE: compressed server links are of course still available, but a SSL/TLS
179 <   connection is required, as compression is now handled via OpenSSL
180 < o) Removed 'ssl_server_protocol' configuration directive and
181 <   added 'ssl_client_method' and 'ssl_server_method' instead.
182 <   Both of these options can now be changed at runtime
183 < o) Oper login IDs are no longer limited to NICKLEN*2
184 < o) Removed channel::burst_topicwho configuration option. Topicsetters are
185 <   now sent by default
186 < o) "STATS Y|y" now reports CIDR limits as well
187 < o) Added m_webirc.c to contrib/
188 < o) Overall code cleanup and speed improvements

16 > -- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.36 (2020-12-04)
17 > * The old WATCH implementation has been replaced with IRCv3.2 MONITOR. For this,
18 >  the `general::max_watch` configuration directive has been renamed to
19 >  `general::max_monitor`.
20 > * User mode `B` has been implemented. Clients with that mode set are marked as a
21 >  bot in both `WHOIS` and `WHO`. This mode can only be set by IRC operators (as
22 >  long as the `bot` directive is set in `general::oper_only_umodes`), servers,
23 >  and services.
24 >  This mode can for example be used to mark HOPM as official network bot.
25 > * For a full list of all changes in this release, see <https://git.io/JLMnJ>
26 >
27 >

37 >  renamed to `general::network_description`
38 > * Server notices that previously have been sent to user modes +f and +u are now
39 >  sent to user mode +j (reject notices) instead. Due to this change, `unauth` and
40 >  `full` have been removed from `general::oper_only_umodes`, `general::oper_umodes`,
41 >  and `operator::umodes`.
42 > * User mode +b (bots) has been replaced with +f (flood). Spam/flood notices are now
43 >  sent to this user mode. For this, `bots` has been removed from
44 >  `general::oper_only_umodes`, `general::oper_umodes`, and `operator::umodes`.
45 >  `flood` has been added instead to these configuration directives.

63 > * `STATS ?` is now oper-only
64 > * For a full list of all changes in this release, see <https://git.io/JUZa1>
65 >
66 >
67 > -- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.31 (2020-05-03)
68 > * macOS compatibility fixes
69 > * Removed `spoof_notice` from `auth::flags`. With vhosts now this notice doesn't make

83 >  matching users from changing their nick while in the channel. Users
84 >  with voice or above are not affected.
85 > * Channel mode +N has been changed so channel members with +v can change
86 >  their nick name as well
87 > * For a full list of all changes in this release, see <https://git.io/JfOyF>
88 >
89 >
90 > -- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.29 (2020-02-19)
91 > * Extbans have been implemented. Currently supported extbans:
92 >
93 >  Matching:
94 >
95 >  * `$a:<account>`   Matches users logged into a matching account.
96 >  * `$c:<channel>`   Matches users that are on the given channel. An additional
97 >                     prefix of either @, %, or + can be specified to test for
98 >                     certain channel privileges.
99 >  * `$o:<class>`     Matches IRC operators that have joined a class
100 >                     matching the mask.

106 >  Acting:
107 >
108 >  * `$j:<banmask>`   Prevents matching users from joining the channel.
109 >  * `$m:<banmask>`   Blocks messages from matching users. Users with voice
110 >                     or above are not affected.
111 >
112 >  For more details, see `help/extban`.
113 > * Added `channel::enable_extbans` configuration option. See `doc/reference.conf`
114 >  for more information.

122 >  from bypassing channel bans by activating a fakehost
123 > * For a full list of all changes in this release, see <https://git.io/Jv37M>
124 >
125 >

130 >  switch which takes one of the following options: `openssl`, `wolfssl`, `gnutls`,
131 >  and `none`.
132 >  If nothing has been specified, configure tries to autodetect in the following order:
133 >  OpenSSL/LibreSSL -> GnuTLS -> wolfSSL.
134 > * Fixed segfault with GnuTLS/libgmp in case there's no DH parameters file
135 >  defined in `serverinfo::ssl_dh_param_file` or if that file is missing

143 >    `ssl_certificate_file` -> `tls_certificate_file`
144 >    `ssl_dh_param_file` -> `tls_dh_param_file`
145 >    `ssl_dh_elliptic_curve` -> `tls_supported_groups`

170 >  redundant as it had the same functionality as `class::number_per_ip`
171 > * Adding RESVs with wildcards no longer requires administrator privileges
172 > * The `general::ignore_bogus_ts` configuration option has been deprecated
173 > * TLSv1.1 and TLSv1.0 are no longer supported and have been disabled in

210 > * Implemented channel mode `u` which hides bmask (+b/+e/+I) lists and mode changes
211 >  to non-chanops everywhere
212 > * Fixed an issue with `TRACE` where remote servers would reply with `RPL_TRACEUSER`
213 >  numerics containing UIDs

930 >    previously used user mode +r.

950 >  `hidden_oper` operator flags. With user mode +H, IRC operator status can now
951 >  be hidden even on remote servers
952 > * Added CIDR support for operator {} blocks
953 > * Removed the servlink program. ircd-hybrid can now make use of
954 >  SSL/TLS for inter-server communication.
955 >  NOTE: compressed server links are of course still available, but a SSL/TLS
956 >  connection is required, as compression is now handled via OpenSSL

959 >  Both of these options can now be changed at runtime
