following changes: |

> |
- Added SVSNICK, and SVSMODE command handlers |
| 237 |
> |
- Added service stamps to NICK/UID messages |
| 238 |
> |
- Added SVS to server capabilities (CAPAB). SVS capable servers can |
| 239 |
> |
deal with extended NICK/UID messages that contain service IDs/stamps. |
| 240 |
> |
- Changed rejected client notices to go to new usermode +j. These |
| 241 |
> |
previously used usermode +r. |
| 242 |
> |
- Added usermode +r (registered nick) and channelmode +r (registered channel) |
| 243 |
> |
- Added usermode +R (only registered clients may send a private message) |
| 244 |
> |
- Added channelmode +R (only registered clients may join that channel) |
| 245 |
> |
- Various services shortcuts have been added (/NS, /CS, /NICKSERV, /CHANSERV, etc.) |
| 246 |
> |
- Added services{} block to ircd.conf |
| 247 |
> |
- Added services_name directive to general{} block |
| 248 |
> |
- Added GLOBOPS mainly for services compatibility, but can be used by operators, too |
| 249 |
> |
o) Removed RKLINE and RXLINE commands. Regular expression based bans should |
| 250 |
> |
only be added via ircd.conf |
| 251 |
> |
o) Added 'globops', 'restart', 'dline', 'undline' and 'module' operator |
| 252 |
> |
privilege flags. Read doc/reference.conf for further explanation of what |
| 253 |
> |
these flags control |
| 254 |
> |
o) Removed Idle-time klines |
| 255 |
> |
o) Cleaned up modules API. Old modules won't work anymore |
| 256 |
> |
o) Removed general::burst_away configuration directive. AWAY bursts are now |
| 257 |
> |
controlled via connect::flags explicitly |
| 258 |
> |
o) Introduced new logging subsystem including log rotation based on |
| 259 |
> |
file sizes. Log timestamp format is ISO8601 now |
| 260 |
> |
o) Added support for remote D-lines |
| 261 |
> |
o) Added usermode +H which is basically a replacement for the hidden_admin and |
| 262 |
> |
hidden_oper operator flags. With usermode +H, irc operator status can now |
| 263 |
> |
be hidden even on remote servers |
| 264 |
> |
o) Added CIDR support for operator{} blocks |
| 265 |
> |
o) Removed the servlink program. ircd-hybrid can now make use of |
| 266 |
> |
SSL/TLS for inter-server communication. |
| 267 |
> |
NOTE: compressed server links are of course still available, but a SSL/TLS |
| 268 |
> |
connection is required, as compression is now handled via OpenSSL |
| 269 |
> |
o) Removed 'ssl_server_protocol' configuration directive and |
| 270 |
> |
added 'ssl_client_method' and 'ssl_server_method' instead. |
| 271 |
> |
Both of these options can now be changed at runtime |
| 272 |
> |
o) Oper login IDs are no longer limited to NICKLEN*2 |
| 273 |
> |
o) Removed channel::burst_topicwho configuration option. Topicsetters are |
| 274 |
> |
now sent by default |
| 275 |
> |
o) "STATS Y|y" now reports CIDR limits as well |
| 276 |
> |
o) Added m_webirc.c to contrib/ |
| 277 |
> |
o) Overall code cleanup and speed improvements |
