1 > -- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.38 (2021-??-??)
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  characters like }|{`^]\[$, that were allowed previously, are no longer valid.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)
38 > * Fixed issue where servers could propagate truncated ban masks during net-join
39 > * For a full list of all changes in this release, see <https://git.io/JIUa6>
40 >
41 >
42 > -- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.34 (2020-11-01)
43 > * Re-implement backwards compatibility mode for old ircd-hybrid 8.2.23 and below.
44 >  Final removal is scheduled for early 2021.
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.
56 > * For a full list of all changes in this release, see <https://git.io/JkeID>
57 >
58 >
59 > -- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.33 (2020-09-07)
60 > * Added `client` option to `listener::flags`
61 > * Added `defer` option to `listener::flags`
62 > * IRC operators may now use CIDR notation in `WHO`

65 >
66 > -- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.32 (2020-08-16)
67 > * `RESV` couldn't be issued in case no reason has been supplied. This has been fixed.
68 > * Fixed possible `RPL_WHOISCHANNELS` line truncation of remote replies
69 > * Extban $t of type `matching` has been implemented. This extban allows matching
70 >  based on TLS protocol version and/or cipher suite
71 > * Implemented channel mode `K`. `KNOCK` cannot be used on channels with that mode set
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
78 > * Removed `spoof_notice` from `auth::flags`. With vhosts now this notice doesn't make
79 >  much sense anymore
80 > * Fixed issue where ban masks might become malformed if set by remote clients/servers
81 > * Fixed issue with channel mode +c where high ascii characters can be erroneously
82 >  detected as control characters
83 > * For a full list of all changes in this release, see <https://git.io/JUZa6>
84 >
85 >
86 > -- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.30 (2020-03-01)
87 > * `QUOTE HELP extban` didn't work because the extban help file hasn't been
88 >  installed properly during `make install`
89 > * Fixed broken libcrypto detection which caused the ircd not to work with
90 >  OpenSSL under certain circumstances
91 > * Extban $n of type `acting` has been implemented. This extban prevents
92 >  matching users from changing their nick while in the channel. Users
93 >  with voice or above are not affected.
94 > * Channel mode +N has been changed so channel members with +v can change
95 >  their nick name as well
96 > * For a full list of all changes in this release, see <https://git.io/JfOyF>
97 >
98 >
99 > -- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.29 (2020-02-19)
100 > * Extbans have been implemented. Currently supported extbans:
101 >
102 >  Matching:
103 >
104 >  * `$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.

128 > * Fixed issue with topics set by `TBURST` not being propagated properly to clients
129 > * Allow IRC operators to search for real hosts in `WHO`
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 >
135 > -- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.27 (2020-01-22)
136 > * Experimental support for wolfSSL has been implemented. Minimum supported version is 4.3.0
137 > * The `--enable-openssl`, `--enable-gnutls` switches, and their disabling counterparts
138 >  `--disable-openssl` and `--disable-gnutls`, have been replaced with the `--with-tls`
139 >  switch which takes one of the following options: `openssl`, `wolfssl`, `gnutls`,
140 >  and `none`.
141 >  If nothing has been specified, configure tries to autodetect in the following order:
142 >  OpenSSL/LibreSSL -> GnuTLS -> wolfSSL.
143 > * Fixed segfault with GnuTLS/libgmp in case there's no DH parameters file
144 >  defined in `serverinfo::ssl_dh_param_file` or if that file is missing

148 > * Minimum supported GnuTLS version is 3.6.5 now
149 > * Supported TLSv1.3 cipher suites can now be configured explicitely via the
150 >  new `serverinfo::tls_cipher_suites` configuration directive
151 > * In the serverinfo {} block, the following configuration directives have been renamed:
152 >    `ssl_certificate_file` -> `tls_certificate_file`
153 >    `ssl_dh_param_file` -> `tls_dh_param_file`
154 >    `ssl_dh_elliptic_curve` -> `tls_supported_groups`
155 >    `ssl_cipher_list` -> `tls_cipher_list`

176 > * The `class::number_per_ip`, `class::max_local` and `class::max_global`
177 >  configuration directives have been replaced with just `class::number_per_ip_local`
178 >  and `class::number_per_ip_global`. The `class::max_local` basically was
179 >  redundant as it had the same functionality as `class::number_per_ip`
180 > * Adding RESVs with wildcards no longer requires administrator privileges
181 > * The `general::ignore_bogus_ts` configuration option has been deprecated

213 >
214 >
215 > -- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.22 (2017-03-26)
216 > * Implemented channel mode `L`. Channels with that mode set can make use of an
217 >  extended ban list size specified with the new `channel::max_bans_large`
218 >  configuraton option. This mode can be set only by IRC operators or servers.
219 > * Implemented channel mode `u` which hides bmask (+b/+e/+I) lists and mode changes
220 >  to non-chanops everywhere
221 > * Fixed an issue with `TRACE` where remote servers would reply with `RPL_TRACEUSER`
222 >  numerics containing UIDs
223 > * `STATS z` now shows simple memory stats of servers linked to the network
224 > * Added support for remote `ETRACE`
225 > * For a full list of all changes in this release, see <https://git.io/fjRVO>

300 >
301 >
302 > -- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.13 (2016-02-02)
303 > * Implemented support for GnuTLS. Currently ./configure's autodetection
304 >  intentionally prefers OpenSSL over GnuTLS, so OpenSSL detection needs
305 >  to be disabled explicitely by using the `--disable-openssl` switch.

313 >
314 >
315 > -- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.12 (2016-01-05)
316 > * **IMPORTANT:** Character case mapping is `ascii` now. It is recommended
317 >  to update all servers on the network to prevent possible channel
318 >  desynchronizations and nick name collision kills
319 > * Added channel mode `T` which forbids `NOTICE` to be sent to a channel
320 > * Fixed minor `SVSTAG` memory leak
321 > * Fixed broken `PART` message blocking mechanism
322 > * ircd now makes use of up to 8 name servers that are specified in
323 >  `/etc/resolv.conf`

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`
353 > * For a full list of all changes in this release, see <https://git.io/JvLqJ>
354 >
355 >
356 > -- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.9 (2015-09-13)
357 > * **IMPORTANT:** database files and links.txt are now stored in `/var/lib`
358 >  instead of `/etc`, so make sure to move your k/d/x-line database files
359 >  to the new path before (re)starting the ircd

937 >    deal with extended `NICK`/`UID` messages that contain service IDs/stamps.
938 >  - Changed rejected client notices to go to new user mode +j. These
939 >    previously used user mode +r.
940 >  - Added user mode +r (registered nick) and channel mode +r (registered channel)

943 >  - Various services shortcuts have been added (`NS`, `CS`, `NICKSERV`, `CHANSERV`, etc.)
944 >  - Added services {} block to `ircd.conf`
945 >  - Added services_name directive to general {} block
946 >  - Added `GLOBOPS` mainly for services compatibility, but can be used by IRC operators, too
947 > * Removed `RKLINE` and `RXLINE` commands. Regular expression based bans should
948 >  only be added via `ircd.conf`
949 > * Added `globops`, `restart`, `dline`, `undline` and `module` IRC operator privilege flags.
950 >  Read `doc/reference.conf` for further explanation of what these flags control
951 > * Removed Idle-time klines
952 > * Cleaned up modules API. Old modules won't work anymore

956 >  file sizes. Log timestamp format is ISO8601 now
957 > * Added support for remote D-lines
958 > * Added user mode +H which is basically a replacement for the hidden_admin and
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
969 > * IRC operator login IDs are no longer limited to NICKLEN*2
970 > * Removed `channel::burst_topicwho` configuration option. This feature is now
971 >  enabled by default
972 > * `STATS Y|y` now reports CIDR limits as well
973 > * Added `m_webirc.c` to `contrib/`
974 > * Overall code cleanup and speed improvements
