2 > * Backwards compatibility mode for ircd-hybrid 8.2.22 and below has been removed
3 > * Minimum supported version of the Anope IRC services is now 2.0.8
4 > * Fixed displaying issue with channel MODE messages
5 > * Characters valid for user names for local clients are now [A-Za-z0-9._-]. 'Special'
6 >  characters like }|{`^]\[$, that were allowed previously, are no longer valid.
7 >  Also user names may not begin with '.', '_', or '-'.
8 > * The `general::dots_in_ident` configuration directive has been renamed to
9 >  `general::specials_in_ident` and now covers the '-' and '_' characters in
10 >  addition to '.'
11 > * Fixed issue with clients connected from IPv6 localhost that, depending on the
12 >  system's getaddrinfo() implementation, could lead to a crash of remote servers
13 >
14 >
15 > -- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.37 (2020-12-26)
16 > * Implemented IRCv3 `CAP 302`
17 > * Implemented IRCv3 `cap-notify` capability
18 > * In case a client sends multiple `PASS` messages, ircd only accepts the password
19 >  sent in the first `PASS` message instead of the last one
20 > * Missing help file for `MONITOR` has been added
21 > * Fixed slightly off memory count for motds in `STATS z`
22 > * For a full list of all changes in this release, see <https://git.io/JLMnk>
23 >
24 >
25 > -- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.36 (2020-12-04)
26 > * The old WATCH implementation has been replaced with IRCv3.2 MONITOR. For this,
27 >  the `general::max_watch` configuration directive has been renamed to
28 >  `general::max_monitor`.
29 > * User mode `B` has been implemented. Clients with that mode set are marked as a
30 >  bot in both `WHOIS` and `WHO`. This mode can only be set by IRC operators (as
31 >  long as the `bot` directive is set in `general::oper_only_umodes`), servers,
32 >  and services.
33 >  This mode can for example be used to mark HOPM as official network bot.
34 > * For a full list of all changes in this release, see <https://git.io/JLMnJ>
35 >
36 >
37 > -- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.35 (2020-11-14)

45 > * For consistency, the `general::network_desc` configuration directive has been
46 >  renamed to `general::network_description`
47 > * Server notices that previously have been sent to user modes +f and +u are now
48 >  sent to user mode +j (reject notices) instead. Due to this change, `unauth` and
49 >  `full` have been removed from `general::oper_only_umodes`, `general::oper_umodes`,
50 >  and `operator::umodes`.
51 > * User mode +b (bots) has been replaced with +f (flood). Spam/flood notices are now
52 >  sent to this user mode. For this, `bots` has been removed from
53 >  `general::oper_only_umodes`, `general::oper_umodes`, and `operator::umodes`.
54 >  `flood` has been added instead to these configuration directives.
55 > * Stricten server/user ID validation. IDs have to be all uppercase everywhere now.

72 > * `STATS ?` is now oper-only
73 > * For a full list of all changes in this release, see <https://git.io/JUZa1>
74 >
75 >
76 > -- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.31 (2020-05-03)
77 > * macOS compatibility fixes

92 >  matching users from changing their nick while in the channel. Users
93 >  with voice or above are not affected.
94 > * Channel mode +N has been changed so channel members with +v can change
95 >  their nick name as well
96 > * For a full list of all changes in this release, see <https://git.io/JfOyF>
97 >
98 >
99 > -- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.29 (2020-02-19)
100 > * Extbans have been implemented. Currently supported extbans:
101 >
102 >  Matching:
103 >
104 >  * `$a:<account>`   Matches users logged into a matching account.
105 >  * `$c:<channel>`   Matches users that are on the given channel. An additional
106 >                     prefix of either @, %, or + can be specified to test for
107 >                     certain channel privileges.
108 >  * `$o:<class>`     Matches IRC operators that have joined a class
109 >                     matching the mask.
110 >  * `$r:<realname>`  Matches users with a matching realname.
111 >  * `$s:<server>`    Matches users that are connected to a server matching the mask.
112 >  * `$u:<modes>`     Matches users having the specified user modes set or not set.
113 >  * `$z:<certfp>`    Matches users having the given TLS certificate fingerprint.
114 >
115 >  Acting:
116 >
117 >  * `$j:<banmask>`   Prevents matching users from joining the channel.
118 >  * `$m:<banmask>`   Blocks messages from matching users. Users with voice
119 >                     or above are not affected.
120 >
121 >  For more details, see `help/extban`.
122 > * Added `channel::enable_extbans` configuration option. See `doc/reference.conf`
123 >  for more information.

130 > * Ban/exempt/invex masks are now also tested against realhosts to prevent clients
131 >  from bypassing channel bans by activating a fakehost
132 > * For a full list of all changes in this release, see <https://git.io/Jv37M>
133 >
134 >

139 >  switch which takes one of the following options: `openssl`, `wolfssl`, `gnutls`,
140 >  and `none`.

302 > -- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.13 (2016-02-02)
303 > * Implemented support for GnuTLS. Currently ./configure's autodetection

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

371 > * Channel name RESVs are now sanity checked for too broad masks
372 > * `class::connectfreq` now works properly with values lower than 300 seconds
373 > * Implemented IRCv3.1 `account-notify` extension

939 >    previously used user mode +r.

959 >  `hidden_oper` operator flags. With user mode +H, IRC operator status can now
960 >  be hidden even on remote servers
961 > * Added CIDR support for operator {} blocks
962 > * Removed the servlink program. ircd-hybrid can now make use of
963 >  SSL/TLS for inter-server communication.
964 >  NOTE: compressed server links are of course still available, but a SSL/TLS
965 >  connection is required, as compression is now handled via OpenSSL
966 > * Removed `ssl_server_protocol` configuration directive and
967 >  added `ssl_client_method` and `ssl_server_method` instead.
968 >  Both of these options can now be changed at runtime

974 > * Overall code cleanup and speed improvements
