1 > -- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.34 (2020-??-??)
2 > * For consistency, the `general::network_desc` configuration directive has been
3 >  renamed to `general::network_description`
4 > * Server notices that previously have been sent to user modes +f and +u are now
5 >  sent to user mode +j (reject notices) instead. Due to this change, `unauth` and
6 >  `full` have been removed from `general::oper_only_umodes`, `general::oper_umodes`,
7 >  and `operator::umodes`.
8 > * User mode +b has been replaced with +f (flood). Spam/flood notices are now sent
9 >  to this user mode. For this, `bots` has been removed from
10 >  `general::oper_only_umodes`, `general::oper_umodes`, and `operator::umodes`.

14 > -- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.33 (2020-09-07)
15 > * Added `client` option to `listener::flags`

20 >
21 > -- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.32 (2020-08-16)
22 > * `RESV` couldn't be issued in case no reason has been supplied. This has been fixed.
23 > * Fixed possible `RPL_WHOISCHANNELS` line truncation of remote replies
24 > * Extban $t of type `matching` has been implemented. This extban allows matching
25 >  based on TLS protocol version and/or cipher suite

27 > * `STATS ?` is now oper-only
28 > * For a full list of all changes in this release, see <https://git.io/JUZa1>
29 >

31 > -- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.31 (2020-05-03)
32 > * macOS compatibility fixes

36 > * Fixed issue with channel mode +c where high ascii characters can be erroneously
37 >  detected as control characters
38 > * For a full list of all changes in this release, see <https://git.io/JUZa6>
39 >
40 >
41 > -- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.30 (2020-03-01)

47 >  matching users from changing their nick while in the channel. Users
48 >  with voice or above are not affected.
49 > * Channel mode +N has been changed so channel members with +v can change
50 >  their nick name as well
51 > * For a full list of all changes in this release, see <https://git.io/JfOyF>
52 >
53 >
54 > -- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.29 (2020-02-19)
55 > * Extbans have been implemented. Currently supported extbans:
56 >
57 >  Matching:
58 >
59 >  * `$a:<account>`   Matches users logged into a matching account.
60 >  * `$c:<channel>`   Matches users that are on the given channel. An additional
61 >                     prefix of either @, %, or + can be specified to test for
62 >                     certain channel privileges.
63 >  * `$o:<class>`     Matches IRC operators that have joined a class
64 >                     matching the mask.

70 >  Acting:
71 >
72 >  * `$j:<banmask>`   Prevents matching users from joining the channel.
73 >  * `$m:<banmask>`   Blocks messages from matching users. Users with voice
74 >                     or above are not affected.
75 >
76 >  For more details, see `help/extban`.
77 > * Added `channel::enable_extbans` configuration option. See `doc/reference.conf`
78 >  for more information.

88 >
89 >
90 > -- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.27 (2020-01-22)

94 >  switch which takes one of the following options: `openssl`, `wolfssl`, `gnutls`,
95 >  and `none`.
96 >  If nothing has been specified, configure tries to autodetect in the following order:
97 >  OpenSSL/LibreSSL -> GnuTLS -> wolfSSL.
98 > * Fixed segfault with GnuTLS/libgmp in case there's no DH parameters file
99 >  defined in `serverinfo::ssl_dh_param_file` or if that file is missing

107 >    `ssl_certificate_file` -> `tls_certificate_file`
108 >    `ssl_dh_param_file` -> `tls_dh_param_file`
109 >    `ssl_dh_elliptic_curve` -> `tls_supported_groups`

132 >  configuration directives have been replaced with just `class::number_per_ip_local`
133 >  and `class::number_per_ip_global`. The `class::max_local` basically was
134 >  redundant as it had the same functionality as `class::number_per_ip`
135 > * Adding RESVs with wildcards no longer requires administrator privileges
136 > * The `general::ignore_bogus_ts` configuration option has been deprecated

162 >  electric fence memory debugger library

171 > * Implemented channel mode `L`. Channels with that mode set can make use of an
172 >  extended ban list size specified with the new `channel::max_bans_large`
173 >  configuraton option. This mode can be set only by IRC operators or servers.
174 > * Implemented channel mode `u` which hides bmask (+b/+e/+I) lists and mode changes
175 >  to non-chanops everywhere
176 > * Fixed an issue with `TRACE` where remote servers would reply with `RPL_TRACEUSER`
177 >  numerics containing UIDs

186 >  message throttling better

255 >
256 >
257 > -- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.13 (2016-02-02)
258 > * Implemented support for GnuTLS. Currently ./configure's autodetection
259 >  intentionally prefers OpenSSL over GnuTLS, so OpenSSL detection needs

271 > * **IMPORTANT:** Character case mapping is `ascii` now. It is recommended
272 >  to update all servers on the network to prevent possible channel
273 >  desynchronizations and nick name collision kills
274 > * Added channel mode `T` which forbids `NOTICE` to be sent to a channel
275 > * Fixed minor `SVSTAG` memory leak
276 > * Fixed broken `PART` message blocking mechanism
277 > * ircd now makes use of up to 8 name servers that are specified in
278 >  `/etc/resolv.conf`

299 >  would not have any effect
300 > * mkpasswd (tools): fixed broken bcrypt support on *BSD in conjunction with
301 >  the `-s` and `-l` switches. Dropped MD5, DES and Extended DES support.
302 > * Removed `CHALLENGE` in favor of ssl certificate fingerprint enabled
303 >  operator {} blocks

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