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

12 > -- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.33 (2020-09-07)
13 > * Added `client` option to `listener::flags`
14 > * Added `defer` option to `listener::flags`
15 > * IRC operators may now use CIDR notation in `WHO`
16 > * For a full list of all changes in this release, see <https://git.io/JTftW>
17 >
18 >
19 > -- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.32 (2020-08-16)
20 > * `RESV` couldn't be issued in case no reason has been supplied. This has been fixed.
21 > * Fixed possible `RPL_WHOISCHANNELS` line truncation of remote replies
22 > * Extban $t of type `matching` has been implemented. This extban allows matching
23 >  based on TLS protocol version and/or cipher suite
24 > * Implemented channel mode `K`. `KNOCK` cannot be used on channels with that mode set
25 > * `STATS ?` is now oper-only
26 > * For a full list of all changes in this release, see <https://git.io/JUZa1>
27 >
28 >
29 > -- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.31 (2020-05-03)
30 > * macOS compatibility fixes
31 > * Removed `spoof_notice` from `auth::flags`. With vhosts now this notice doesn't make
32 >  much sense anymore
33 > * Fixed issue where ban masks might become malformed if set by remote clients/servers
34 > * Fixed issue with channel mode +c where high ascii characters can be erroneously
35 >  detected as control characters
36 > * For a full list of all changes in this release, see <https://git.io/JUZa6>
37 >
38 >
39 > -- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.30 (2020-03-01)
40 > * `QUOTE HELP extban` didn't work because the extban help file hasn't been

45 >  matching users from changing their nick while in the channel. Users
46 >  with voice or above are not affected.
47 > * Channel mode +N has been changed so channel members with +v can change
48 >  their nick name as well
49 > * For a full list of all changes in this release, see <https://git.io/JfOyF>
50 >
51 >
52 > -- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.29 (2020-02-19)
53 > * Extbans have been implemented. Currently supported extbans:
54 >
55 >  Matching:
56 >
57 >  * `$a:<account>`   Matches users logged into a matching account.
58 >  * `$c:<channel>`   Matches users that are on the given channel. An additional
59 >                     prefix of either @, %, or + can be specified to test for
60 >                     certain channel privileges.
61 >  * `$o:<class>`     Matches IRC operators that have joined a class
62 >                     matching the mask.
63 >  * `$r:<realname>`  Matches users with a matching realname.
64 >  * `$s:<server>`    Matches users that are connected to a server matching the mask.
65 >  * `$u:<modes>`     Matches users having the specified user modes set or not set.
66 >  * `$z:<certfp>`    Matches users having the given TLS certificate fingerprint.
67 >
68 >  Acting:
69 >
70 >  * `$j:<banmask>`   Prevents matching users from joining the channel.
71 >  * `$m:<banmask>`   Blocks messages from matching users. Users with voice
72 >                     or above are not affected.
73 >
74 >  For more details, see `help/extban`.
75 > * Added `channel::enable_extbans` configuration option. See `doc/reference.conf`
76 >  for more information.
77 > * For a full list of all changes in this release, see <https://git.io/JvgAL>
78 >
79 >

81 > * Fixed issue with topics set by `TBURST` not being propagated properly to clients
82 > * Allow IRC operators to search for real hosts in `WHO`
83 > * Ban/exempt/invex masks are now also tested against realhosts to prevent clients
84 >  from bypassing channel bans by activating a fakehost
85 > * For a full list of all changes in this release, see <https://git.io/Jv37M>
86 >
87 >
88 > -- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.27 (2020-01-22)
89 > * Experimental support for wolfSSL has been implemented. Minimum supported version is 4.3.0

92 >  switch which takes one of the following options: `openssl`, `wolfssl`, `gnutls`,
93 >  and `none`.
94 >  If nothing has been specified, configure tries to autodetect in the following order:
95 >  OpenSSL/LibreSSL -> GnuTLS -> wolfSSL.
96 > * Fixed segfault with GnuTLS/libgmp in case there's no DH parameters file
97 >  defined in `serverinfo::ssl_dh_param_file` or if that file is missing
98 > * The connection timeout for connect{} blocks can now be configured via
99 >  the `connect::timeout` configuration directive

103 >  new `serverinfo::tls_cipher_suites` configuration directive
104 > * In the serverinfo {} block, the following configuration directives have been renamed:
105 >    `ssl_certificate_file` -> `tls_certificate_file`
106 >    `ssl_dh_param_file` -> `tls_dh_param_file`
107 >    `ssl_dh_elliptic_curve` -> `tls_supported_groups`

129 > * The `class::number_per_ip`, `class::max_local` and `class::max_global`
130 >  configuration directives have been replaced with just `class::number_per_ip_local`
131 >  and `class::number_per_ip_global`. The `class::max_local` basically was
132 >  redundant as it had the same functionality as `class::number_per_ip`
133 > * Adding RESVs with wildcards no longer requires administrator privileges
134 > * The `general::ignore_bogus_ts` configuration option has been deprecated
135 > * TLSv1.1 and TLSv1.0 are no longer supported and have been disabled in

166 >
167 >
168 > -- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.22 (2017-03-26)
169 > * Implemented channel mode `L`. Channels with that mode set can make use of an
170 >  extended ban list size specified with the new `channel::max_bans_large`
171 >  configuraton option. This mode can be set only by IRC operators or servers.
172 > * Implemented channel mode `u` which hides bmask (+b/+e/+I) lists and mode changes
173 >  to non-chanops everywhere
174 > * Fixed an issue with `TRACE` where remote servers would reply with `RPL_TRACEUSER`
175 >  numerics containing UIDs

177 > * Added support for remote `ETRACE`
178 > * For a full list of all changes in this release, see <https://git.io/fjRVO>

195 >  the `channel::invite_expire_time` configuration directive
196 > * `WHOIS` notices to IRC operators have been re-added. User mode +y is required
197 >  to see them
198 > * The maximum line length for motd files has been increased to 320 bytes to
199 >  support multibyte encodings better

253 >
254 >
255 > -- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.13 (2016-02-02)
256 > * Implemented support for GnuTLS. Currently ./configure's autodetection
257 >  intentionally prefers OpenSSL over GnuTLS, so OpenSSL detection needs
258 >  to be disabled explicitely by using the `--disable-openssl` switch.

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

297 >  would not have any effect
298 > * mkpasswd (tools): fixed broken bcrypt support on *BSD in conjunction with
299 >  the `-s` and `-l` switches. Dropped MD5, DES and Extended DES support.
300 > * Removed `CHALLENGE` in favor of ssl certificate fingerprint enabled
301 >  operator {} blocks
302 > * RSA keys with less than 2048 bits are no longer supported; same applies
303 >  to the DH param file
304 > * Added missing IRC operator privilege flags to `STATS o`. For a full list
305 >  of flags see `doc/reference.conf`
306 > * For a full list of all changes in this release, see <https://git.io/JvLqJ>
307 >
308 >
309 > -- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.9 (2015-09-13)
310 > * **IMPORTANT:** database files and links.txt are now stored in `/var/lib`
311 >  instead of `/etc`, so make sure to move your k/d/x-line database files
312 >  to the new path before (re)starting the ircd
313 > * **IMPORTANT:** the splitmode logic has been removed along with the
314 >  following channel {} block configuration directives:
315 >  `default_split_user_count`, `default_split_server_count`,
316 >  `no_create_on_split`, `no_join_on_split`
317 > * Added `xline_exempt` to auth {} block flags
318 > * `serverinfo::sid` is now optional. A unique SID is now automatically
319 >  generated based on the server's name and description
320 > * Various fixes to the mkpasswd tool
321 > * If supported by the compiler, ircd-hybrid now compiles with
322 >  `-fstack-protector-strong` instead of `-fstack-protector`
323 > * Services can now add RESVs (SQLINEs) that have wildcards in it
324 > * Channel name RESVs are now sanity checked for too broad masks
325 > * `class::connectfreq` now works properly with values lower than 300 seconds
326 > * Implemented IRCv3.1 `account-notify` extension
327 > * The `general::oper_pass_resv` configuration directive has been deprecated
328 >  in favor of the new `join:resv`, and `nick:resv` IRC operator flags.
329 >  See `doc/reference.conf` for more information.
330 > * Added `resv`, and `unresv` IRC operator flags. Previously, all

332 >  privileges.
333 > * Added `close` to IRC operator flags
334 > * ircd is using ISO 8601 date and time notation in most places now

336 >
337 >
338 > -- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.8 (2015-05-10)
339 > * ircd now rejects remote k-line requests for user@host mask that don't
340 >  have at least `general::min_nonwildcard` non-wildcard characters in it
341 > * Configuration related server notices are now sent to admins only as
342 >  they potentially could leak passwords and other sensitive data to irc
343 >  operators that don't have administrator privileges
344 > * The `GLINE`/`GUNGLINE` commands have been removed. `KLINE` in conjunction
345 >  with cluster {} and/or shared {} blocks is now the recommended
346 >  way to add global user@host mask based server bans

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