1 > -- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.36 (2020-12-04)
2 > * The old WATCH implementation has been replaced with IRCv3.2 MONITOR. For this,
3 >  the `general::max_watch` configuration directive has been renamed to
4 >  `general::max_monitor`.
5 > * User mode `B` has been implemented. Clients with that mode set are marked as a
6 >  bot in both `WHOIS` and `WHO`. This mode can only be set by IRC operators (as
7 >  long as the `bot` directive is set in `general::oper_only_umodes`), servers,
8 >  and services.
9 >  This mode can for example be used to mark HOPM as official network bot.
10 > * For a full list of all changes in this release, see <https://git.io/JI3fG>
11 >
12 >
13 > -- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.35 (2020-11-14)
14 > * Fixed issue where servers could propagate truncated ban masks during net-join
15 > * For a full list of all changes in this release, see <https://git.io/JIUa6>
16 >
17 >
18 > -- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.34 (2020-11-01)
19 > * Re-implement backwards compatibility mode for old ircd-hybrid 8.2.23 and below.
20 >  Final removal is scheduled for early 2021.
21 > * For consistency, the `general::network_desc` configuration directive has been
22 >  renamed to `general::network_description`
23 > * Server notices that previously have been sent to user modes +f and +u are now
24 >  sent to user mode +j (reject notices) instead. Due to this change, `unauth` and
25 >  `full` have been removed from `general::oper_only_umodes`, `general::oper_umodes`,
26 >  and `operator::umodes`.
27 > * User mode +b (bots) has been replaced with +f (flood). Spam/flood notices are now
28 >  sent to this user mode. For this, `bots` has been removed from
29 >  `general::oper_only_umodes`, `general::oper_umodes`, and `operator::umodes`.
30 >  `flood` has been added instead to these configuration directives.
31 > * Stricten server/user ID validation. IDs have to be all uppercase everywhere now.
32 > * For a full list of all changes in this release, see <https://git.io/JkeID>
33 >
34 >
35 > -- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.33 (2020-09-07)
36 > * Added `client` option to `listener::flags`
37 > * Added `defer` option to `listener::flags`
38 > * IRC operators may now use CIDR notation in `WHO`

43 > * `RESV` couldn't be issued in case no reason has been supplied. This has been fixed.
44 > * Fixed possible `RPL_WHOISCHANNELS` line truncation of remote replies
45 > * Extban $t of type `matching` has been implemented. This extban allows matching
46 >  based on TLS protocol version and/or cipher suite
47 > * Implemented channel mode `K`. `KNOCK` cannot be used on channels with that mode set
48 > * `STATS ?` is now oper-only
49 > * For a full list of all changes in this release, see <https://git.io/JUZa1>
50 >
51 >
52 > -- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.31 (2020-05-03)
53 > * macOS compatibility fixes
54 > * Removed `spoof_notice` from `auth::flags`. With vhosts now this notice doesn't make
55 >  much sense anymore
56 > * Fixed issue where ban masks might become malformed if set by remote clients/servers
57 > * Fixed issue with channel mode +c where high ascii characters can be erroneously
58 >  detected as control characters
59 > * For a full list of all changes in this release, see <https://git.io/JUZa6>
60 >
61 >
62 > -- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.30 (2020-03-01)
63 > * `QUOTE HELP extban` didn't work because the extban help file hasn't been
64 >  installed properly during `make install`
65 > * Fixed broken libcrypto detection which caused the ircd not to work with
66 >  OpenSSL under certain circumstances
67 > * Extban $n of type `acting` has been implemented. This extban prevents
68 >  matching users from changing their nick while in the channel. Users
69 >  with voice or above are not affected.
70 > * Channel mode +N has been changed so channel members with +v can change
71 >  their nick name as well
72 > * For a full list of all changes in this release, see <https://git.io/JfOyF>
73 >
74 >
75 > -- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.29 (2020-02-19)
76 > * Extbans have been implemented. Currently supported extbans:
77 >
78 >  Matching:
79 >
80 >  * `$a:<account>`   Matches users logged into a matching account.
81 >  * `$c:<channel>`   Matches users that are on the given channel. An additional
82 >                     prefix of either @, %, or + can be specified to test for
83 >                     certain channel privileges.
84 >  * `$o:<class>`     Matches IRC operators that have joined a class
85 >                     matching the mask.
86 >  * `$r:<realname>`  Matches users with a matching realname.
87 >  * `$s:<server>`    Matches users that are connected to a server matching the mask.
88 >  * `$u:<modes>`     Matches users having the specified user modes set or not set.
89 >  * `$z:<certfp>`    Matches users having the given TLS certificate fingerprint.
90 >
91 >  Acting:
92 >
93 >  * `$j:<banmask>`   Prevents matching users from joining the channel.
94 >  * `$m:<banmask>`   Blocks messages from matching users. Users with voice
95 >                     or above are not affected.
96 >
97 >  For more details, see `help/extban`.
98 > * Added `channel::enable_extbans` configuration option. See `doc/reference.conf`
99 >  for more information.

104 > * Fixed issue with topics set by `TBURST` not being propagated properly to clients
105 > * Allow IRC operators to search for real hosts in `WHO`
106 > * Ban/exempt/invex masks are now also tested against realhosts to prevent clients
107 >  from bypassing channel bans by activating a fakehost
108 > * For a full list of all changes in this release, see <https://git.io/Jv37M>
109 >
110 >
111 > -- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.27 (2020-01-22)
112 > * Experimental support for wolfSSL has been implemented. Minimum supported version is 4.3.0
113 > * The `--enable-openssl`, `--enable-gnutls` switches, and their disabling counterparts
114 >  `--disable-openssl` and `--disable-gnutls`, have been replaced with the `--with-tls`
115 >  switch which takes one of the following options: `openssl`, `wolfssl`, `gnutls`,
116 >  and `none`.
117 >  If nothing has been specified, configure tries to autodetect in the following order:
118 >  OpenSSL/LibreSSL -> GnuTLS -> wolfSSL.
119 > * Fixed segfault with GnuTLS/libgmp in case there's no DH parameters file
120 >  defined in `serverinfo::ssl_dh_param_file` or if that file is missing
121 > * The connection timeout for connect{} blocks can now be configured via
122 >  the `connect::timeout` configuration directive

125 > * Supported TLSv1.3 cipher suites can now be configured explicitely via the
126 >  new `serverinfo::tls_cipher_suites` configuration directive
127 > * In the serverinfo {} block, the following configuration directives have been renamed:
128 >    `ssl_certificate_file` -> `tls_certificate_file`
129 >    `ssl_dh_param_file` -> `tls_dh_param_file`
130 >    `ssl_dh_elliptic_curve` -> `tls_supported_groups`
131 >    `ssl_cipher_list` -> `tls_cipher_list`
132 >    `ssl_message_digest_algorithm` -> `tls_message_digest_algorithm`

152 > * The `class::number_per_ip`, `class::max_local` and `class::max_global`
153 >  configuration directives have been replaced with just `class::number_per_ip_local`
154 >  and `class::number_per_ip_global`. The `class::max_local` basically was
155 >  redundant as it had the same functionality as `class::number_per_ip`
156 > * Adding RESVs with wildcards no longer requires administrator privileges
157 > * The `general::ignore_bogus_ts` configuration option has been deprecated

190 >
191 > -- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.22 (2017-03-26)
192 > * Implemented channel mode `L`. Channels with that mode set can make use of an
193 >  extended ban list size specified with the new `channel::max_bans_large`
194 >  configuraton option. This mode can be set only by IRC operators or servers.
195 > * Implemented channel mode `u` which hides bmask (+b/+e/+I) lists and mode changes
196 >  to non-chanops everywhere
197 > * Fixed an issue with `TRACE` where remote servers would reply with `RPL_TRACEUSER`
198 >  numerics containing UIDs

293 >  to update all servers on the network to prevent possible channel
294 >  desynchronizations and nick name collision kills
295 > * Added channel mode `T` which forbids `NOTICE` to be sent to a channel
296 > * Fixed minor `SVSTAG` memory leak

320 >  would not have any effect
321 > * mkpasswd (tools): fixed broken bcrypt support on *BSD in conjunction with
322 >  the `-s` and `-l` switches. Dropped MD5, DES and Extended DES support.
323 > * Removed `CHALLENGE` in favor of ssl certificate fingerprint enabled
324 >  operator {} blocks
325 > * RSA keys with less than 2048 bits are no longer supported; same applies
326 >  to the DH param file
327 > * Added missing IRC operator privilege flags to `STATS o`. For a full list
328 >  of flags see `doc/reference.conf`
329 > * For a full list of all changes in this release, see <https://git.io/JvLqJ>
330 >
331 >
332 > -- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.9 (2015-09-13)
333 > * **IMPORTANT:** database files and links.txt are now stored in `/var/lib`
334 >  instead of `/etc`, so make sure to move your k/d/x-line database files
335 >  to the new path before (re)starting the ircd
336 > * **IMPORTANT:** the splitmode logic has been removed along with the
337 >  following channel {} block configuration directives:

914 >  - Changed rejected client notices to go to new user mode +j. These
915 >    previously used user mode +r.
916 >  - Added user mode +r (registered nick) and channel mode +r (registered channel)

920 >  - Added services {} block to `ircd.conf`
921 >  - Added services_name directive to general {} block
922 >  - Added `GLOBOPS` mainly for services compatibility, but can be used by IRC operators, too
923 > * Removed `RKLINE` and `RXLINE` commands. Regular expression based bans should
924 >  only be added via `ircd.conf`
925 > * Added `globops`, `restart`, `dline`, `undline` and `module` IRC operator privilege flags.
926 >  Read `doc/reference.conf` for further explanation of what these flags control
927 > * Removed Idle-time klines
928 > * Cleaned up modules API. Old modules won't work anymore

933 > * Added support for remote D-lines
934 > * Added user mode +H which is basically a replacement for the hidden_admin and
935 >  `hidden_oper` operator flags. With user mode +H, IRC operator status can now
936 >  be hidden even on remote servers
937 > * Added CIDR support for operator {} blocks
938 > * Removed the servlink program. ircd-hybrid can now make use of
939 >  SSL/TLS for inter-server communication.
940 >  NOTE: compressed server links are of course still available, but a SSL/TLS
941 >  connection is required, as compression is now handled via OpenSSL
942 > * Removed `ssl_server_protocol` configuration directive and
943 >  added `ssl_client_method` and `ssl_server_method` instead.
944 >  Both of these options can now be changed at runtime
945 > * IRC operator login IDs are no longer limited to NICKLEN*2
946 > * Removed `channel::burst_topicwho` configuration option. This feature is now
947 >  enabled by default

949 > * Added `m_webirc.c` to `contrib/`
950 > * Overall code cleanup and speed improvements
