# Line 1 | Line 1
1 < -- ircd-hybrid-8.1.0beta5 Release Notes
2 < o) Removed 'remote', and 'global_kill' oper flags, and added 'connect',
3 <   'squit', and 'kill' flags for better fine-tuning instead. Whether or
4 <   not a specific action is allowed on a remote server can be controlled
5 <   by appeding the ':remote' flag. For example: 'kill' allows only local
6 <   clients to be killed, whereas 'kill:remote' allows to issue a KILL for
7 <   remote clients
8 <
9 < -- ircd-hybrid-8.1.0beta4 Release Notes
10 < o) Implemented channel mode +M. Clients that haven't identified their
11 <   name with NickServ may not speak in a channel that has this mode set
12 <
13 <
14 < -- ircd-hybrid-8.1.0beta3 Release Notes

19 <   prevents users from sending messages including control codes to a channel
20 <   that has this mode set
21 < o) Fixed bug where bans were not checked against non-channel members when
22 <   sending messages to a channel
23 < o) Removed channel::quiet_on_ban configuration option. This feature is
24 <   now enabled by default
25 <
26 <

33 < o) Fixed spoofs not working as expected
34 <
35 <
36 < -- ircd-hybrid-8.1.0beta1 Release Notes

174 < o) Replaced MODLOAD, MODUNLOAD, MODRELOAD, MODLIST and MODRESTART commands
175 <   with the new MODULE command which can be fed with the LOAD, UNLOAD, RELOAD

188 <   following changes:
189 <   - Added SVSNICK, and SVSMODE command handlers
190 <   - Added service stamps to NICK/UID messages
191 <   - Added SVS to server capabilities (CAPAB). SVS capable servers can
192 <     deal with extended NICK/UID messages that contain service IDs/stamps.
193 <   - Changed rejected client notices to go to new usermode +j.  These
194 <     previously used usermode +r.
195 <   - Added usermode +r (registered nick) and channelmode +r (registered channel)
196 <   - Added usermode +R (only registered clients may send a private message)
197 <   - Added channelmode +R (only registered clients may join that channel)
198 <   - Various services shortcuts have been added (/NS, /CS, /NICKSERV, /CHANSERV, etc.)
199 <   - Added services{} block to ircd.conf
200 <   - Added services_name directive to general{} block
201 <   - Added GLOBOPS mainly for services compatibility, but can be used by operators, too
202 < o) Removed RKLINE and RXLINE commands. Regular expression based bans should
203 <   only be added via ircd.conf
204 < o) Added 'globops', 'restart', 'dline', 'undline' and 'module' operator
205 <   privilege flags. Read doc/reference.conf for further explanation of what
206 <   these flags control
207 < o) Removed Idle-time klines
208 < o) Cleaned up modules API. Old modules won't work anymore
209 < o) Removed general::burst_away configuration directive. AWAY bursts are now
210 <   controlled via connect::flags explicitly

212 <   file sizes. Log timestamp format is ISO8601 now
213 < o) Added support for remote D-lines
214 < o) Added usermode +H which is basically a replacement for the hidden_admin and
215 <   hidden_oper operator flags. With usermode +H, irc operator status can now
216 <   be hidden even on remote servers
217 < o) Added CIDR support for operator{} blocks
218 < o) Removed the servlink program. ircd-hybrid can now make use of
219 <   SSL/TLS for inter-server communication.
220 <   NOTE: compressed server links are of course still available, but a SSL/TLS
221 <   connection is required, as compression is now handled via OpenSSL
222 < o) Removed 'ssl_server_protocol' configuration directive and
223 <   added 'ssl_client_method' and 'ssl_server_method' instead.
224 <   Both of these options can now be changed at runtime
225 < o) Oper login IDs are no longer limited to NICKLEN*2
226 < o) Removed channel::burst_topicwho configuration option. Topicsetters are
227 <   now sent by default
228 < o) "STATS Y|y" now reports CIDR limits as well

230 < o) Overall code cleanup and speed improvements
1 > -- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.37 (202?-??-??)
2 > * Implemented IRCv3 `CAP 302`
3 > * Implemented IRCv3 `cap-notify` capability
4 >
5 >
6 > -- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.36 (2020-12-04)
7 > * The old WATCH implementation has been replaced with IRCv3.2 MONITOR. For this,
8 >  the `general::max_watch` configuration directive has been renamed to
9 >  `general::max_monitor`.
10 > * User mode `B` has been implemented. Clients with that mode set are marked as a
11 >  bot in both `WHOIS` and `WHO`. This mode can only be set by IRC operators (as
12 >  long as the `bot` directive is set in `general::oper_only_umodes`), servers,
13 >  and services.
14 >  This mode can for example be used to mark HOPM as official network bot.
15 > * For a full list of all changes in this release, see <https://git.io/JI3fG>
16 >
17 >
18 > -- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.35 (2020-11-14)

26 > * For consistency, the `general::network_desc` configuration directive has been
27 >  renamed to `general::network_description`
28 > * Server notices that previously have been sent to user modes +f and +u are now
29 >  sent to user mode +j (reject notices) instead. Due to this change, `unauth` and
30 >  `full` have been removed from `general::oper_only_umodes`, `general::oper_umodes`,
31 >  and `operator::umodes`.
32 > * User mode +b (bots) has been replaced with +f (flood). Spam/flood notices are now
33 >  sent to this user mode. For this, `bots` has been removed from
34 >  `general::oper_only_umodes`, `general::oper_umodes`, and `operator::umodes`.
35 >  `flood` has been added instead to these configuration directives.
36 > * Stricten server/user ID validation. IDs have to be all uppercase everywhere now.
37 > * For a full list of all changes in this release, see <https://git.io/JkeID>

53 > * `STATS ?` is now oper-only
54 > * For a full list of all changes in this release, see <https://git.io/JUZa1>
55 >
56 >
57 > -- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.31 (2020-05-03)
58 > * macOS compatibility fixes
59 > * Removed `spoof_notice` from `auth::flags`. With vhosts now this notice doesn't make
60 >  much sense anymore
61 > * Fixed issue where ban masks might become malformed if set by remote clients/servers

76 >  their nick name as well
77 > * For a full list of all changes in this release, see <https://git.io/JfOyF>
78 >
79 >
80 > -- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.29 (2020-02-19)
81 > * Extbans have been implemented. Currently supported extbans:
82 >
83 >  Matching:
84 >
85 >  * `$a:<account>`   Matches users logged into a matching account.
86 >  * `$c:<channel>`   Matches users that are on the given channel. An additional
87 >                     prefix of either @, %, or + can be specified to test for
88 >                     certain channel privileges.
89 >  * `$o:<class>`     Matches IRC operators that have joined a class
90 >                     matching the mask.

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

106 >
107 >
108 > -- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.28 (2020-01-26)
109 > * Fixed issue with topics set by `TBURST` not being propagated properly to clients
110 > * Allow IRC operators to search for real hosts in `WHO`
111 > * Ban/exempt/invex masks are now also tested against realhosts to prevent clients
112 >  from bypassing channel bans by activating a fakehost
113 > * For a full list of all changes in this release, see <https://git.io/Jv37M>
114 >
115 >
116 > -- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.27 (2020-01-22)
117 > * Experimental support for wolfSSL has been implemented. Minimum supported version is 4.3.0
118 > * The `--enable-openssl`, `--enable-gnutls` switches, and their disabling counterparts
119 >  `--disable-openssl` and `--disable-gnutls`, have been replaced with the `--with-tls`
120 >  switch which takes one of the following options: `openssl`, `wolfssl`, `gnutls`,
121 >  and `none`.
122 >  If nothing has been specified, configure tries to autodetect in the following order:
123 >  OpenSSL/LibreSSL -> GnuTLS -> wolfSSL.
124 > * Fixed segfault with GnuTLS/libgmp in case there's no DH parameters file
125 >  defined in `serverinfo::ssl_dh_param_file` or if that file is missing

127 >  the `connect::timeout` configuration directive
128 > * Minimum supported OpenSSL version is 1.1.1 now
129 > * Minimum supported GnuTLS version is 3.6.5 now
130 > * Supported TLSv1.3 cipher suites can now be configured explicitely via the
131 >  new `serverinfo::tls_cipher_suites` configuration directive
132 > * In the serverinfo {} block, the following configuration directives have been renamed:
133 >    `ssl_certificate_file` -> `tls_certificate_file`
134 >    `ssl_dh_param_file` -> `tls_dh_param_file`
135 >    `ssl_dh_elliptic_curve` -> `tls_supported_groups`

158 >  configuration directives have been replaced with just `class::number_per_ip_local`
159 >  and `class::number_per_ip_global`. The `class::max_local` basically was
160 >  redundant as it had the same functionality as `class::number_per_ip`
161 > * Adding RESVs with wildcards no longer requires administrator privileges
162 > * The `general::ignore_bogus_ts` configuration option has been deprecated
163 > * TLSv1.1 and TLSv1.0 are no longer supported and have been disabled in

920 >    previously used user mode +r.

940 >  `hidden_oper` operator flags. With user mode +H, IRC operator status can now
941 >  be hidden even on remote servers
942 > * Added CIDR support for operator {} blocks
943 > * Removed the servlink program. ircd-hybrid can now make use of
944 >  SSL/TLS for inter-server communication.
945 >  NOTE: compressed server links are of course still available, but a SSL/TLS
946 >  connection is required, as compression is now handled via OpenSSL

949 >  Both of these options can now be changed at runtime
