6 >
7 >
8 > -- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.32 (2020-08-16)
9 > * `RESV` couldn't be issued in case no reason has been supplied. This has been fixed.
10 > * Fixed possible `RPL_WHOISCHANNELS` line truncation of remote replies
11 > * Extban $t of type `matching` has been implemented. This extban allows matching

37 >  their nick name as well
38 > * For a full list of all changes in this release, see <https://git.io/JfOyF>
39 >
40 >
41 > -- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.29 (2020-02-19)
42 > * Extbans have been implemented. Currently supported extbans:
43 >
44 >  Matching:
45 >  
46 >  $a:<account>   Matches users logged into a matching account.
47 >  $c:<channel>   Matches users that are on the given channel. An additional
48 >                 prefix of either @, %, or + can be specified to test for
49 >                 certain channel privileges.
50 >  $o:<class>     Matches IRC operators that have joined a class
51 >                 matching the mask.

56 >  
57 >  Acting:
58 >  
59 >  $j:<banmask>   Prevents matching users from joining the channel.
60 >  $m:<banmask>   Blocks messages from matching users. Users with voice
61 >                 or above are not affected.
62 >
63 >  For more details, see help/extban.

74 > * For a full list of all changes in this release, see <https://git.io/Jv37M>
75 >
76 >
77 > -- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.27 (2020-01-22)
78 > * Experimental support for wolfSSL has been implemented. Minimum supported version is 4.3.0
79 > * The `--enable-openssl`, `--enable-gnutls` switches, and their disabling counterparts

81 >  switch which takes one of the following options: `openssl`, `wolfssl`, `gnutls`,
82 >  and `none`.
83 >  If nothing has been specified, configure tries to autodetect in the following order:
84 >  openssl/libressl -> gnutls -> wolfssl.
85 > * Fixed segfault with GnuTLS/libgmp in case there's no DH parameters file
86 >  defined in `serverinfo::ssl_dh_param_file` or if that file is missing
87 > * The connection timeout for connect{} blocks can now be configured via
88 >  the `connect::timeout` configuration directive

92 >  new `serverinfo::tls_cipher_suites` configuration directive
93 > * In the serverinfo {} block, the following configuration directives have been renamed:
94 >    `ssl_certificate_file` -> `tls_certificate_file`
95 >    `ssl_dh_param_file` -> `tls_dh_param_file`
96 >    `ssl_dh_elliptic_curve` -> `tls_supported_groups`

119 >  configuration directives have been replaced with just `class::number_per_ip_local`
120 >  and `class::number_per_ip_global`. The `class::max_local` basically was
121 >  redundant as it had the same functionality as `class::number_per_ip`
122 > * Adding RESVs with wildcards no longer requires administrator privileges
123 > * The `general::ignore_bogus_ts` configuration option has been deprecated
124 > * TLSv1.1 and TLSv1.0 are no longer supported and have been disabled in

155 >
156 >
157 > -- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.22 (2017-03-26)
158 > * Implemented channel mode `L`. Channels with that mode set can make use of an
159 >  extended ban list size specified with the new `channel::max_bans_large`
160 >  configuraton option. This mode can be set only by irc-operators or servers.
161 > * Implemented channel mode `u` which hides bmask (+b/+e/+I) lists and mode changes
162 >  to non-chanops everywhere
163 > * Fixed an issue with `TRACE` where remote servers would reply with `RPL_TRACEUSER`
164 >  numerics containing UIDs

184 >  the `channel::invite_expire_time` configuration directive
185 > * `WHOIS` notices to operators have been re-added. User mode +y is required
186 >  to see them
187 > * The maximum line length for motd files has been increased to 320 bytes
188 >  to support multibyte encodings better

245 > * Implemented support for GnuTLS. Currently ./configure's autodetection
246 >  intentionally prefers OpenSSL over GnuTLS, so OpenSSL detection needs
247 >  to be disabled explicitely by using the `--disable-openssl` switch.

259 >  to update all servers on the network to prevent possible channel
260 >  desynchronizations and nick name collision kills
261 > * Added channel mode +T which forbids NOTICEs to be sent to a channel
262 > * Fixed minor SVSTAG memory leak
263 > * Fixed broken PART message blocking mechanism
264 > * ircd now makes use of up to 8 name servers that are specified in
265 >  /etc/resolv.conf

287 >  would not have any effect
288 > * mkpasswd (tools): fixed broken bcrypt support on *BSD in conjunction
289 >  with the -s and -l switches. Dropped MD5, DES and Extended DES support.
290 > * Removed `CHALLENGE` in favor of ssl certificate fingerprint enabled
291 >  operator {} blocks
292 > * RSA keys with less than 2048 bits are no longer supported; same applies
293 >  to the DH param file
294 > * Added missing irc-operator privilege flags to `STATS o`. For a full list
295 >  of flags see doc/reference.conf
296 > * For a full list of all changes in this release, see <https://git.io/JvLqJ>
297 >
298 >
299 > -- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.9 (2015-09-13)
300 > * **IMPORTANT:** database files and links.txt are now stored in /var/lib
301 >  instead of /etc, so make sure to move your k/d/x-line database files
302 >  to the new path before (re)starting the ircd
303 > * **IMPORTANT:** the splitmode logic has been removed along with the
304 >  following channel {} block configuration directives:

306 >  `no_create_on_split`, `no_join_on_split`
307 > * Added `xline_exempt` to auth {} block flags

311 > * If supported by the compiler, ircd-hybrid now compiles with
312 >  `-fstack-protector-strong` instead of `-fstack-protector`
313 > * Services can now add RESVs (SQLINEs) that have wildcards in it
314 > * Channel name RESVs are now sanity checked for too broad masks
315 > * `class::connectfreq` now works properly with values lower than 300 seconds
316 > * Implemented IRCv3.1 account-notify extension
317 > * The `general::oper_pass_resv` configuration directive has been deprecated

319 >  See doc/reference.conf for more information.
320 > * Added `resv`, and `unresv` irc-operator flags. Previously, all

330 >  have at least `general::min_nonwildcard` non-wildcard characters in it
331 > * Configuration related server notices are now sent to admins only as
332 >  they potentially could leak passwords and other sensitive data to irc
333 >  operators that don't have administrator privileges
334 > * The `GLINE`/`GUNGLINE` commands have been removed. `KLINE` in conjunction
335 >  with cluster {} and/or shared {} blocks is now the recommended
336 >  way to add global user@host mask based server bans
337 > * Added dline_min_cidr, dline_min_cidr6, kline_min_cidr, and kline_min_cidr6
338 >  configuration options to the general {} block

873 >  - Added `SVSNICK`, and `SVSMODE` command handlers
874 >  - Added service stamps to `NICK`/`UID` messages
875 >  - Added SVS to server capabilities (`CAPAB`). SVS capable servers can
876 >    deal with extended `NICK`/`UID` messages that contain service IDs/stamps.
877 >  - Changed rejected client notices to go to new usermode +j. These
878 >    previously used usermode +r.
879 >  - Added usermode +r (registered nick) and channelmode +r (registered channel)
880 >  - Added usermode +R (only registered clients may send a private message)
881 >  - Added channelmode +R (only registered clients may join that channel)
882 >  - Various services shortcuts have been added (`NS`, `CS`, `NICKSERV`, `CHANSERV`, etc.)
883 >  - Added services {} block to ircd.conf
884 >  - Added services_name directive to general {} block
885 >  - Added `GLOBOPS` mainly for services compatibility, but can be used by operators, too
886 > * Removed `RKLINE` and `RXLINE` commands. Regular expression based bans should
887 >  only be added via ircd.conf
888 > * Added `globops`, `restart`, `dline`, `undline` and `module` operator privilege flags.
889 >  Read doc/reference.conf for further explanation of what these flags control
890 > * Removed Idle-time klines
891 > * Cleaned up modules API. Old modules won't work anymore
892 > * Removed `general::burst_away` configuration directive. AWAY bursts are now
893 >  controlled via `connect::flags` explicitly
894 > * Introduced new logging subsystem including log rotation based on
895 >  file sizes. Log timestamp format is ISO8601 now
896 > * Added support for remote D-lines
897 > * Added usermode +H which is basically a replacement for the hidden_admin and
898 >  `hidden_oper` operator flags. With usermode +H, irc operator status can now
899 >  be hidden even on remote servers
900 > * Added CIDR support for operator {} blocks
901 > * Removed the servlink program. ircd-hybrid can now make use of
902 >  SSL/TLS for inter-server communication.
903 >  NOTE: compressed server links are of course still available, but a SSL/TLS
904 >  connection is required, as compression is now handled via OpenSSL
905 > * Removed `ssl_server_protocol` configuration directive and
906 >  added `ssl_client_method` and `ssl_server_method` instead.
907 >  Both of these options can now be changed at runtime
908 > * Oper login IDs are no longer limited to NICKLEN*2
909 > * Removed `channel::burst_topicwho` configuration option. This feature is now
910 >  enabled by default
911 > * `STATS Y|y` now reports CIDR limits as well
912 > * Added m_webirc.c to contrib/
913 > * Overall code cleanup and speed improvements
