32 |

33 |

-- ircd-hybrid-8beta1 Release Notes |
43 |
o) Implemented full services support. Among other things, the following changes |
44 |
have been done for this: |
45 |
- Added SVSNICK, and SVSMODE command handlers |
46 |
- Added service stamps to NICK/UID messages |
47 |
- Added SVS to server capabilities (CAPAB). SVS capable servers can |
48 |
deal with extended NICK/UID messages that contain service IDs/stamps. |
49 |
- Usermode +r (registered nick) has been added, as well as |
50 |
channelmode +r (registered channel) |
51 |
- Now that usermode +r has a different function than before, rejected |
52 |
client notices now go to new usermode +j |
53 |
- Various services shortcuts have been added (/NS, /CS, /NICKSERV, /CHANSERV, etc.) |
54 |
- Added channelmode +R (only registered clients may join that channel) |
55 |
- Added usermode +R (only registered clients may send a private message) |
56 |
- Added services{} block to ircd.conf |
57 |
- Added services_name directive to general{} block |
58 |
- Added GLOBOPS mainly for services compatibility, but can be used by operators, too |
59 |
o) RKLINE and RXLINE commands have been removed. Regular expression based |
60 |
bans should only be added via ircd.conf |
61 |
o) Added 'globops', 'restart', 'dline', 'undline' and 'module' operator privilege flags. |
62 |
Read doc/example.conf for further explanation of what these flags |
63 |
are supposed to be doing |
64 |
o) Idle-time klines have been removed |
65 |
o) Cleaned up modules API. Old modules won't work anymore |
66 |
o) Remove general::burst_away configuration directive. AWAY bursts are now |
67 |
controlled via connect::flags explicitly |
68 |
o) Introduced new logging subsystem including log rotation based on |
69 |
file sizes. Log timestamp format is ISO8601 now |
70 |
o) Added support for remote D-lines |
71 |
o) Added usermode +H which is basically a replacement for the hidden_admin and |
72 |
hidden_oper operator flags. With usermode +H, irc operator status can now |
73 |
be hidden even on remote servers |
74 |
o) Added CIDR support for operator{} blocks |
75 |
o) The servlink program has been removed. ircd-hybrid can now make use of SSL/TLS |
76 |
for inter-server communication. |
77 |
NOTE: compressed server links are of course still available, but a SSL/TLS |
78 |
connection is required, as compression is now handled via the OpenSSL library |
79 |
o) Removed 'ssl_server_protocol' configuration directive and |
80 |
added 'ssl_client_method' and 'ssl_server_method' instead. |
81 |
Both of these options can now be changed at runtime |
82 |
o) Oper login IDs are no longer limited to NICKLEN*2 |
83 |
o) Removed channel::burst_topicwho configuration option. Topicsetters are |
84 |
now sent by default |
85 |
o) "STATS Y|y" now reports CIDR limits as well |
86 |
o) Added m_webirc.c to contrib/ |
87 |
o) Overall code cleanup and speed improvements |
