1 > -- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.37 (202?-??-??)
2 > * Implemented IRCv3 `CAP 302`
3 > * Implemented IRCv3 `cap-notify` capability

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

52 >  based on TLS protocol version and/or cipher suite
53 > * Implemented channel mode `K`. `KNOCK` cannot be used on channels with that mode set
54 > * `STATS ?` is now oper-only
55 > * For a full list of all changes in this release, see <https://git.io/JUZa1>
56 >
57 >
58 > -- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.31 (2020-05-03)
59 > * macOS compatibility fixes
60 > * Removed `spoof_notice` from `auth::flags`. With vhosts now this notice doesn't make
61 >  much sense anymore

66 >
67 >
68 > -- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.30 (2020-03-01)

74 >  matching users from changing their nick while in the channel. Users
75 >  with voice or above are not affected.
76 > * Channel mode +N has been changed so channel members with +v can change
77 >  their nick name as well
78 > * For a full list of all changes in this release, see <https://git.io/JfOyF>
79 >
80 >
81 > -- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.29 (2020-02-19)
82 > * Extbans have been implemented. Currently supported extbans:
83 >
84 >  Matching:
85 >
86 >  * `$a:<account>`   Matches users logged into a matching account.
87 >  * `$c:<channel>`   Matches users that are on the given channel. An additional
88 >                     prefix of either @, %, or + can be specified to test for
89 >                     certain channel privileges.
90 >  * `$o:<class>`     Matches IRC operators that have joined a class
91 >                     matching the mask.

97 >  Acting:
98 >
99 >  * `$j:<banmask>`   Prevents matching users from joining the channel.
100 >  * `$m:<banmask>`   Blocks messages from matching users. Users with voice
101 >                     or above are not affected.
102 >
103 >  For more details, see `help/extban`.
104 > * Added `channel::enable_extbans` configuration option. See `doc/reference.conf`
105 >  for more information.

113 >  from bypassing channel bans by activating a fakehost
114 > * For a full list of all changes in this release, see <https://git.io/Jv37M>
115 >
116 >
117 > -- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.27 (2020-01-22)

119 > * The `--enable-openssl`, `--enable-gnutls` switches, and their disabling counterparts
120 >  `--disable-openssl` and `--disable-gnutls`, have been replaced with the `--with-tls`
121 >  switch which takes one of the following options: `openssl`, `wolfssl`, `gnutls`,
122 >  and `none`.
123 >  If nothing has been specified, configure tries to autodetect in the following order:
124 >  OpenSSL/LibreSSL -> GnuTLS -> wolfSSL.
125 > * Fixed segfault with GnuTLS/libgmp in case there's no DH parameters file
126 >  defined in `serverinfo::ssl_dh_param_file` or if that file is missing

134 >    `ssl_certificate_file` -> `tls_certificate_file`
135 >    `ssl_dh_param_file` -> `tls_dh_param_file`
136 >    `ssl_dh_elliptic_curve` -> `tls_supported_groups`
137 >    `ssl_cipher_list` -> `tls_cipher_list`
138 >    `ssl_message_digest_algorithm` -> `tls_message_digest_algorithm`

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

299 >  to update all servers on the network to prevent possible channel
300 >  desynchronizations and nick name collision kills
301 > * Added channel mode `T` which forbids `NOTICE` to be sent to a channel

916 >  - Added `SVSNICK`, and `SVSMODE` command handlers
917 >  - Added service stamps to `NICK`/`UID` messages
918 >  - Added SVS to server capabilities (`CAPAB`). SVS capable servers can
919 >    deal with extended `NICK`/`UID` messages that contain service IDs/stamps.
920 >  - Changed rejected client notices to go to new user mode +j. These
921 >    previously used user mode +r.
922 >  - Added user mode +r (registered nick) and channel mode +r (registered channel)

927 >  - Added services_name directive to general {} block

930 >  only be added via `ircd.conf`

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

938 >  file sizes. Log timestamp format is ISO8601 now
939 > * Added support for remote D-lines
940 > * Added user mode +H which is basically a replacement for the hidden_admin and
941 >  `hidden_oper` operator flags. With user mode +H, IRC operator status can now
942 >  be hidden even on remote servers
943 > * Added CIDR support for operator {} blocks
944 > * Removed the servlink program. ircd-hybrid can now make use of
945 >  SSL/TLS for inter-server communication.
946 >  NOTE: compressed server links are of course still available, but a SSL/TLS
947 >  connection is required, as compression is now handled via OpenSSL
948 > * Removed `ssl_server_protocol` configuration directive and
949 >  added `ssl_client_method` and `ssl_server_method` instead.
950 >  Both of these options can now be changed at runtime
951 > * IRC operator login IDs are no longer limited to NICKLEN*2

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