1 > -- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.33 (2020-09-07)
2 > * Added `client` option to `listener::flags`
3 > * Added `defer` option to `listener::flags`
4 > * IRC operators may now use CIDR notation in `WHO`

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
12 >  based on TLS protocol version and/or cipher suite

14 > * `STATS ?` is now oper-only
15 > * For a full list of all changes in this release, see <https://git.io/JUZa1>
16 >
17 >
18 > -- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.31 (2020-05-03)
19 > * macOS compatibility fixes
20 > * Removed `spoof_notice` from `auth::flags`. With vhosts now this notice doesn't make
21 >  much sense anymore
22 > * Fixed issue where ban masks might become malformed if set by remote clients/servers
23 > * Fixed issue with channel mode +c where high ascii characters can be erroneously
24 >  detected as control characters
25 > * For a full list of all changes in this release, see <https://git.io/JUZa6>

34 >  matching users from changing their nick while in the channel. Users
35 >  with voice or above are not affected.
36 > * Channel mode +N has been changed so channel members with +v can change
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.
52 >  $r:<realname>  Matches users with a matching realname.

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)

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

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

173 >  message throttling better

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 > * mkpasswd (tools): fixed broken bcrypt support on *BSD in conjunction
288 >  with the -s and -l switches. Dropped MD5, DES and Extended DES support.
289 > * Removed `CHALLENGE` in favor of ssl certificate fingerprint enabled
290 >  operator {} blocks
291 > * RSA keys with less than 2048 bits are no longer supported; same applies
292 >  to the DH param file

294 >  of flags see `doc/reference.conf`
295 > * For a full list of all changes in this release, see <https://git.io/JvLqJ>

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