1 > -- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.36 (2020-??-??)
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 >
6 >
7 > -- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.35 (2020-11-14)
8 > * Fixed issue where servers could propagate truncated ban masks during net-join
9 >
10 >
11 > -- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.34 (2020-11-01)
12 > * Re-implement backwards compatibility mode for old ircd-hybrid 8.2.23 and below.
13 >  Final removal is scheduled for early 2021.
14 > * For consistency, the `general::network_desc` configuration directive has been
15 >  renamed to `general::network_description`
16 > * Server notices that previously have been sent to user modes +f and +u are now
17 >  sent to user mode +j (reject notices) instead. Due to this change, `unauth` and
18 >  `full` have been removed from `general::oper_only_umodes`, `general::oper_umodes`,
19 >  and `operator::umodes`.
20 > * User mode +b (bots) has been replaced with +f (flood). Spam/flood notices are now
21 >  sent to this user mode. For this, `bots` has been removed from
22 >  `general::oper_only_umodes`, `general::oper_umodes`, and `operator::umodes`.
23 >  `flood` has been added instead to these configuration directives.
24 > * Stricten server/user ID validation. IDs have to be all uppercase everywhere now.
25 > * For a full list of all changes in this release, see <https://git.io/JkeID>
26 >
27 >
28 > -- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.33 (2020-09-07)

41 > * `STATS ?` is now oper-only
42 > * For a full list of all changes in this release, see <https://git.io/JUZa1>
43 >

61 >  matching users from changing their nick while in the channel. Users
62 >  with voice or above are not affected.
63 > * Channel mode +N has been changed so channel members with +v can change
64 >  their nick name as well
65 > * For a full list of all changes in this release, see <https://git.io/JfOyF>
66 >
67 >
68 > -- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.29 (2020-02-19)
69 > * Extbans have been implemented. Currently supported extbans:
70 >
71 >  Matching:
72 >
73 >  * `$a:<account>`   Matches users logged into a matching account.
74 >  * `$c:<channel>`   Matches users that are on the given channel. An additional
75 >                     prefix of either @, %, or + can be specified to test for
76 >                     certain channel privileges.
77 >  * `$o:<class>`     Matches IRC operators that have joined a class
78 >                     matching the mask.

83 >
84 >  Acting:
85 >
86 >  * `$j:<banmask>`   Prevents matching users from joining the channel.
87 >  * `$m:<banmask>`   Blocks messages from matching users. Users with voice
88 >                     or above are not affected.
89 >
90 >  For more details, see `help/extban`.
91 > * Added `channel::enable_extbans` configuration option. See `doc/reference.conf`

102 >
103 >

108 >  switch which takes one of the following options: `openssl`, `wolfssl`, `gnutls`,
109 >  and `none`.
110 >  If nothing has been specified, configure tries to autodetect in the following order:
111 >  OpenSSL/LibreSSL -> GnuTLS -> wolfSSL.

146 >  configuration directives have been replaced with just `class::number_per_ip_local`
147 >  and `class::number_per_ip_global`. The `class::max_local` basically was
148 >  redundant as it had the same functionality as `class::number_per_ip`

186 >  extended ban list size specified with the new `channel::max_bans_large`
187 >  configuraton option. This mode can be set only by IRC operators or servers.
188 > * Implemented channel mode `u` which hides bmask (+b/+e/+I) lists and mode changes
189 >  to non-chanops everywhere

313 >  would not have any effect
314 > * mkpasswd (tools): fixed broken bcrypt support on *BSD in conjunction with
315 >  the `-s` and `-l` switches. Dropped MD5, DES and Extended DES support.
316 > * Removed `CHALLENGE` in favor of ssl certificate fingerprint enabled
317 >  operator {} blocks
318 > * RSA keys with less than 2048 bits are no longer supported; same applies
319 >  to the DH param file
320 > * Added missing IRC operator privilege flags to `STATS o`. For a full list
321 >  of flags see `doc/reference.conf`

329 > * **IMPORTANT:** the splitmode logic has been removed along with the
330 >  following channel {} block configuration directives:

332 >  `no_create_on_split`, `no_join_on_split`
333 > * Added `xline_exempt` to auth {} block flags

903 >  - Added `SVSNICK`, and `SVSMODE` command handlers
904 >  - Added service stamps to `NICK`/`UID` messages
905 >  - Added SVS to server capabilities (`CAPAB`). SVS capable servers can
906 >    deal with extended `NICK`/`UID` messages that contain service IDs/stamps.
907 >  - Changed rejected client notices to go to new user mode +j. These
908 >    previously used user mode +r.
909 >  - Added user mode +r (registered nick) and channel mode +r (registered channel)

913 >  - Added services {} block to `ircd.conf`
914 >  - Added services_name directive to general {} block
915 >  - Added `GLOBOPS` mainly for services compatibility, but can be used by IRC operators, too
916 > * Removed `RKLINE` and `RXLINE` commands. Regular expression based bans should
917 >  only be added via `ircd.conf`

919 >  Read `doc/reference.conf` for further explanation of what these flags control
920 > * Removed Idle-time klines
921 > * Cleaned up modules API. Old modules won't work anymore

925 >  file sizes. Log timestamp format is ISO8601 now
926 > * Added support for remote D-lines
927 > * Added user mode +H which is basically a replacement for the hidden_admin and
928 >  `hidden_oper` operator flags. With user mode +H, IRC operator status can now
929 >  be hidden even on remote servers
930 > * Added CIDR support for operator {} blocks
931 > * Removed the servlink program. ircd-hybrid can now make use of
932 >  SSL/TLS for inter-server communication.
933 >  NOTE: compressed server links are of course still available, but a SSL/TLS
934 >  connection is required, as compression is now handled via OpenSSL
935 > * Removed `ssl_server_protocol` configuration directive and
936 >  added `ssl_client_method` and `ssl_server_method` instead.
937 >  Both of these options can now be changed at runtime
938 > * IRC operator login IDs are no longer limited to NICKLEN*2

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