44 > -- ircd-hybrid-8beta1 Release Notes
45 > o) Implemented full services support. Among other things, the following changes
46 >   have been done for this:
47 >   - Added SVSNICK, and SVSMODE command handlers
48 >   - Added service stamps to NICK/UID messages
49 >   - Added SVS to server capabilities (CAPAB). SVS capable servers can
50 >     deal with extended NICK/UID messages that contain service IDs/stamps.
51 >   - Usermode +r (registered nick) has been added, as well as
52 >     channelmode +r (registered channel)
53 >   - Now that usermode +r has a different function than before, rejected
54 >     client notices now go to new usermode +j
55 >   - Various services shortcuts have been added (/NS, /CS, /NICKSERV, /CHANSERV, etc.)
56 >   - Added channelmode +R (only registered clients may join that channel)
57 >   - Added usermode +R (only registered clients may send a private message)
58 >   - Added services{} block to ircd.conf
59 >   - Added services_name directive to general{} block
60 >   - Added GLOBOPS mainly for services compatibility, but can be used by operators, too
61 > o) RKLINE and RXLINE commands have been removed. Regular expression based
62 >   bans should only be added via ircd.conf
63 > o) Added 'globops', 'restart', 'dline', 'undline' and 'module' operator privilege flags.
64 >   Read doc/example.conf for further explanation of what these flags
65 >   are supposed to be doing
66 > o) Idle-time klines have been removed
67 > o) Cleaned up modules API. Old modules won't work anymore
68 > o) Remove general::burst_away configuration directive. AWAY bursts are now
69 >   controlled via connect::flags explicitly
70 > o) Introduced new logging subsystem including log rotation based on
71 >   file sizes. Log timestamp format is ISO8601 now
72 > o) Added support for remote D-lines
73 > o) Added usermode +H which is basically a replacement for the hidden_admin and
74 >   hidden_oper operator flags. With usermode +H, irc operator status can now
75 >   be hidden even on remote servers
76 > o) Added CIDR support for operator{} blocks
77 > o) The servlink program has been removed. ircd-hybrid can now make use of SSL/TLS
78 >   for inter-server communication.
79 >   NOTE: compressed server links are of course still available, but a SSL/TLS
80 >   connection is required, as compression is now handled via the OpenSSL library
81 > o) Removed 'ssl_server_protocol' configuration directive and
82 >   added 'ssl_client_method' and 'ssl_server_method' instead.
83 >   Both of these options can now be changed at runtime
84 > o) Oper login IDs are no longer limited to NICKLEN*2
85 > o) Removed channel::burst_topicwho configuration option. Topicsetters are
86 >   now sent by default
87 > o) "STATS Y|y" now reports CIDR limits as well
88 > o) Added m_webirc.c to contrib/
89 > o) Overall code cleanup and speed improvements
