-- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.36 (2020-12-04) |
| 2 |
* The old WATCH implementation has been replaced with IRCv3.2 MONITOR. For this, |
| 3 |
the `general::max_watch` configuration directive has been renamed to |
| 4 |
`general::max_monitor`. |
| 5 |
* User mode `B` has been implemented. Clients with that mode set are marked as a |
| 6 |
bot in both `WHOIS` and `WHO`. This mode can only be set by IRC operators (as |
| 7 |
long as the `bot` directive is set in `general::oper_only_umodes`), servers, |
| 8 |
and services. |
| 9 |
This mode can for example be used to mark HOPM as official network bot. |

| 19 |
* Re-implement backwards compatibility mode for old ircd-hybrid 8.2.23 and below. |
| 20 |
Final removal is scheduled for early 2021. |
| 21 |
* For consistency, the `general::network_desc` configuration directive has been |
| 22 |
renamed to `general::network_description` |
| 23 |
* Server notices that previously have been sent to user modes +f and +u are now |
| 24 |
sent to user mode +j (reject notices) instead. Due to this change, `unauth` and |
| 25 |
`full` have been removed from `general::oper_only_umodes`, `general::oper_umodes`, |
| 26 |
and `operator::umodes`. |
| 27 |
* User mode +b (bots) has been replaced with +f (flood). Spam/flood notices are now |
| 28 |
sent to this user mode. For this, `bots` has been removed from |
| 29 |
`general::oper_only_umodes`, `general::oper_umodes`, and `operator::umodes`. |
| 30 |
`flood` has been added instead to these configuration directives. |
| 31 |
* Stricten server/user ID validation. IDs have to be all uppercase everywhere now. |
| 32 |

| 43 |
* `RESV` couldn't be issued in case no reason has been supplied. This has been fixed. |
| 44 |
* Fixed possible `RPL_WHOISCHANNELS` line truncation of remote replies |
| 45 |
* Extban $t of type `matching` has been implemented. This extban allows matching |
| 46 |
based on TLS protocol version and/or cipher suite |
| 47 |
* Implemented channel mode `K`. `KNOCK` cannot be used on channels with that mode set |
| 48 |
* `STATS ?` is now oper-only |
| 49 |

-- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.31 (2020-05-03) |
| 53 |
* macOS compatibility fixes |
| 54 |
* Removed `spoof_notice` from `auth::flags`. With vhosts now this notice doesn't make |
| 55 |
much sense anymore |
| 56 |
* Fixed issue where ban masks might become malformed if set by remote clients/servers |
| 57 |
* Fixed issue with channel mode +c where high ascii characters can be erroneously |
| 58 |
detected as control characters |

| 61 |
|
| 62 |
-- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.30 (2020-03-01) |
| 63 |
* `QUOTE HELP extban` didn't work because the extban help file hasn't been |
| 64 |
installed properly during `make install` |
| 65 |
* Fixed broken libcrypto detection which caused the ircd not to work with |
| 66 |
OpenSSL under certain circumstances |
| 67 |
* Extban $n of type `acting` has been implemented. This extban prevents |
| 68 |
matching users from changing their nick while in the channel. Users |
| 69 |
with voice or above are not affected. |
| 70 |
* Channel mode +N has been changed so channel members with +v can change |
| 71 |
their nick name as well |
| 72 |

-- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.29 (2020-02-19) |
| 76 |
* Extbans have been implemented. Currently supported extbans: |
| 77 |
|
| 78 |
Matching: |
| 79 |
|
| 80 |
* `$a:<account>` Matches users logged into a matching account. |
| 81 |
* `$c:<channel>` Matches users that are on the given channel. An additional |
| 82 |
prefix of either @, %, or + can be specified to test for |
| 83 |
certain channel privileges. |
| 84 |
* `$o:<class>` Matches IRC operators that have joined a class |
| 85 |
matching the mask. |
| 86 |
* `$r:<realname>` Matches users with a matching realname. |
| 87 |
* `$s:<server>` Matches users that are connected to a server matching the mask. |
| 88 |
* `$u:<modes>` Matches users having the specified user modes set or not set. |
| 89 |
* `$z:<certfp>` Matches users having the given TLS certificate fingerprint. |
| 90 |
|
| 91 |
Acting: |
| 92 |
|
| 93 |
* `$j:<banmask>` Prevents matching users from joining the channel. |
| 94 |
* `$m:<banmask>` Blocks messages from matching users. Users with voice |
| 95 |
or above are not affected. |
| 96 |
|
| 97 |
For more details, see `help/extban`. |
| 98 |

| 107 |
from bypassing channel bans by activating a fakehost |
| 108 |

|
| 111 |
-- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.27 (2020-01-22) |
| 112 |
* Experimental support for wolfSSL has been implemented. Minimum supported version is 4.3.0 |
| 113 |
* The `--enable-openssl`, `--enable-gnutls` switches, and their disabling counterparts |
| 114 |
`--disable-openssl` and `--disable-gnutls`, have been replaced with the `--with-tls` |
| 115 |
switch which takes one of the following options: `openssl`, `wolfssl`, `gnutls`, |
| 116 |
and `none`. |
| 117 |
If nothing has been specified, configure tries to autodetect in the following order: |
| 118 |
OpenSSL/LibreSSL -> GnuTLS -> wolfSSL. |
| 119 |
* Fixed segfault with GnuTLS/libgmp in case there's no DH parameters file |
| 120 |
defined in `serverinfo::ssl_dh_param_file` or if that file is missing |
| 121 |
* The connection timeout for connect{} blocks can now be configured via |
| 122 |
the `connect::timeout` configuration directive |
| 123 |
* Minimum supported OpenSSL version is 1.1.1 now |
| 124 |
* Minimum supported GnuTLS version is 3.6.5 now |
| 125 |
* Supported TLSv1.3 cipher suites can now be configured explicitely via the |
| 126 |
new `serverinfo::tls_cipher_suites` configuration directive |
| 127 |
* In the serverinfo {} block, the following configuration directives have been renamed: |
| 128 |
`ssl_certificate_file` -> `tls_certificate_file` |
| 129 |
`ssl_dh_param_file` -> `tls_dh_param_file` |
| 130 |
`ssl_dh_elliptic_curve` -> `tls_supported_groups` |
| 131 |
`ssl_cipher_list` -> `tls_cipher_list` |
| 132 |
`ssl_message_digest_algorithm` -> `tls_message_digest_algorithm` |
| 133 |
* In the operator {} block, the following configuration directives have been renamed: |
| 134 |
`ssl_certificate_fingerprint -> `tls_certificate_fingerprint` |
| 135 |
`ssl_connection_required -> `tls_connection_required` |
| 136 |
* In the connect {} block, the following configuration directives have been renamed: |
| 137 |
`ssl_cipher_list -> `tls_cipher_list` |
| 138 |
`ssl_certificate_fingerprint -> `tls_certificate_fingerprint` |

| 145 |
operators with that mode set |
| 146 |

| 147 |
instead of updating existing ones that are already in use |
| 148 |
* For a full list of all changes in this release, see <https://git.io/fjEbq> |

|
| 150 |
|
| 151 |
-- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.25 (2019-04-24) |
| 152 |
* The `class::number_per_ip`, `class::max_local` and `class::max_global` |
| 153 |
configuration directives have been replaced with just `class::number_per_ip_local` |
| 154 |
and `class::number_per_ip_global`. The `class::max_local` basically was |
| 155 |
redundant as it had the same functionality as `class::number_per_ip` |
| 156 |
* Adding RESVs with wildcards no longer requires administrator privileges |
| 157 |
* The `general::ignore_bogus_ts` configuration option has been deprecated |
| 158 |
* TLSv1.1 and TLSv1.0 are no longer supported and have been disabled in |
| 159 |
the OpenSSL and GnuTLS module |
| 160 |
* Minimum supported OpenSSL version is 1.0.1f now |
| 161 |
* Minimum supported GnuTLS version is 3.5.8 now |
| 162 |
* The `serverinfo::vhost` and `serverinfo:vhost6` configuration directives have |
| 163 |
been deprecated. If you need to bind() a specific address you can specify one |
| 164 |
in the connect {} block |
| 165 |
* The `connect::vhost` configuration directive has been renamed to `connect::bind` |
| 166 |

-- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.24 (2018-04-05) |
| 170 |
* Added `STATS s` to show configured pseudo {} blocks |
| 171 |
* Implemented channel mode `N` which prevents users from changing their |
| 172 |
nick while in a channel with that mode set |
| 173 |
* Services clients are now shown with `is a Network Service` in `WHOIS` |
| 174 |
* For a full list of all changes in this release, see <https://git.io/fjRVt> |

|
| 176 |
|
| 177 |
-- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.23 (2018-03-26) |
| 178 |
* IRC operators are now able to see a user's resolved hostname in `WHOWAS`, |
| 179 |
and `WHOIS` even if the user has a fakehost/vhost |
| 180 |
* `RPL_WELCOME` now does use the rfc2812 style nick!user@host format |
| 181 |
* Removed rudimentary libgeoip support |
| 182 |
* Added `--enable-efence` switch to allow easy linking with the |
| 183 |
electric fence memory debugger library |
| 184 |
* `JOIN 0` is no longer supported |
| 185 |
* Fixed bug where ircd would not remove `RPL_WHOISOPERATOR` based svstags |
| 186 |
when deoppering |
| 187 |
* Fixed `unknown closes` statistic in `STATS t` showing invalid values sometimes |
| 188 |
* For a full list of all changes in this release, see <https://git.io/fjRVq> |

|
| 190 |
|
| 191 |
-- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.22 (2017-03-26) |
| 192 |
* Implemented channel mode `L`. Channels with that mode set can make use of an |
| 193 |
extended ban list size specified with the new `channel::max_bans_large` |
| 194 |
configuraton option. This mode can be set only by IRC operators or servers. |
| 195 |
* Implemented channel mode `u` which hides bmask (+b/+e/+I) lists and mode changes |
| 196 |
to non-chanops everywhere |
| 197 |
* Fixed an issue with `TRACE` where remote servers would reply with `RPL_TRACEUSER` |
| 198 |
numerics containing UIDs |
| 199 |
* `STATS z` now shows simple memory stats of servers linked to the network |
| 200 |
* Added support for remote `ETRACE` |

-- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.21 (2016-11-27) |
| 205 |
* The `general::default_floodtime` configuration option has been added |
| 206 |
along with the `SET FLOODTIME` command. These allow to fine-tune the |
| 207 |
message throttling better |
| 208 |
* Fixed an issue with `INVITE` not showing the list of channels the |
| 209 |
sender is invited to |
| 210 |

| 216 |
for more information. |
| 217 |

| 218 |
the `channel::invite_expire_time` configuration directive |
| 219 |
* `WHOIS` notices to IRC operators have been re-added. User mode +y is required |
| 220 |
to see them |
| 221 |
* The maximum line length for motd files has been increased to 320 bytes to |
| 222 |
support multibyte encodings better |
| 223 |

`serverhide::hide_server_ips` enabled |
| 231 |
* User mode `n` now shows nick name changes from remote clients, too |
| 232 |

| 271 |
- Added `libgeoip_database_options`, `libgeoip_ipv4_database_file`, |
| 272 |
and `libgeoip_ipv6_database_file` configuration directives to the |
| 273 |
serverinfo {} block |
| 274 |
* Further improvements to GnuTLS support |
| 275 |
* For a full list of all changes in this release, see <https://git.io/fjR9f> |
| 276 |
|
| 277 |
|
| 278 |
-- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.13 (2016-02-02) |
| 279 |
* Implemented support for GnuTLS. Currently ./configure's autodetection |
| 280 |
intentionally prefers OpenSSL over GnuTLS, so OpenSSL detection needs |
| 281 |
to be disabled explicitely by using the `--disable-openssl` switch. |
| 282 |
* Minimum supported GnuTLS version is 3.3.8 now |
| 283 |
* Minimum supported OpenSSL version is 1.0.1d now |
| 284 |

|
| 291 |
-- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.12 (2016-01-05) |
| 292 |
* **IMPORTANT:** Character case mapping is `ascii` now. It is recommended |
| 293 |
to update all servers on the network to prevent possible channel |
| 294 |
desynchronizations and nick name collision kills |
| 295 |
* Added channel mode `T` which forbids `NOTICE` to be sent to a channel |
| 296 |
* Fixed minor `SVSTAG` memory leak |
| 297 |
* Fixed broken `PART` message blocking mechanism |
| 298 |
* ircd now makes use of up to 8 name servers that are specified in |
| 299 |
`/etc/resolv.conf` |
| 300 |
* The `-klinefile`, `-dlinefile`, etc. switches didn't work at all |
| 301 |
* Fixed possible core on ident lookups if ircd is out of file descriptors |
| 302 |
* Far client exit notices (+F) now show IP addresses, too |
| 303 |
* Made idle time look nicer in `STATS v|p` by using a formatted time string |
| 304 |
* `general::ts_warn_delta`, and `general::ts_max_delta` can be set to 0 now |
| 305 |
* For a full list of all changes in this release, see <https://git.io/JvLtj> |

-- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.10 (2015-11-06) |
| 316 |
* **IMPORTANT:** renamed `serverhide::links_delay` configuration directive |
| 317 |
to `serverhide::flatten_links_delay` |
| 318 |
* Added `serverhide::flatten_links_file` configuration option |
| 319 |
* Fixed bug where changing `serverhide::flatten_links_delay` on runtime |
| 320 |
would not have any effect |
| 321 |
* mkpasswd (tools): fixed broken bcrypt support on *BSD in conjunction with |
| 322 |
the `-s` and `-l` switches. Dropped MD5, DES and Extended DES support. |
| 323 |
* Removed `CHALLENGE` in favor of ssl certificate fingerprint enabled |
| 324 |
operator {} blocks |
| 325 |
* RSA keys with less than 2048 bits are no longer supported; same applies |
| 326 |
to the DH param file |
| 327 |
* Added missing IRC operator privilege flags to `STATS o`. For a full list |
| 328 |
of flags see `doc/reference.conf` |
| 329 |
* For a full list of all changes in this release, see <https://git.io/JvLqJ> |

|
| 331 |
|
| 332 |
-- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.9 (2015-09-13) |
| 333 |
* **IMPORTANT:** database files and links.txt are now stored in `/var/lib` |
| 334 |
instead of `/etc`, so make sure to move your k/d/x-line database files |
| 335 |
to the new path before (re)starting the ircd |
| 336 |
* **IMPORTANT:** the splitmode logic has been removed along with the |
| 337 |
following channel {} block configuration directives: |
| 338 |
`default_split_user_count`, `default_split_server_count`, |
| 339 |
`no_create_on_split`, `no_join_on_split` |
| 340 |

In conjunction with Anope 1.9/2.0 IRC-services, clients are now also able |
| 691 |
to automatically identify for their nick with ssl certificate |
| 692 |
fingerprints |
| 693 |
* Added `operator::ssl_connection_required` configuration option. See |
| 694 |
`doc/reference.conf` for more information |
| 695 |
* Added user mode +S (client is connected via SSL/TLS). Allows services |
| 696 |
to keep track of what users are connected via SSL, and allows to see |
| 697 |
ssl-status of remote clients in a `WHOIS` |
| 698 |
* Fixed a server name leak with server hiding enabled |
| 699 |

| 701 |
-- Noteworthy changes in version 8.1.1 (2013-06-06) |
| 702 |
* **IMPORTANT:** moved `disable_remote_command` configuration directive from |
| 703 |
general {} block to serverhide {} block |
| 704 |
* Minor code cleanups/performance improvements |
| 705 |

| 706 |
have the +l mode set |
| 707 |
* Fixed bug where non-SSL clients could join +S channels on non-SSL servers |
| 708 |
* Implemented motd {} configuration blocks. See `doc/reference.conf` for more |
| 709 |
information |
| 710 |
* `STATS T` shows configured MOTD files |
| 711 |

| 721 |
-- Noteworthy changes in version 8.1.0beta5 (2013-05-15) |
| 722 |
* Removed `remote`, and `global_kill` oper flags, and added `connect`, |
| 723 |
`squit`, and `kill` flags for better fine-tuning instead. Whether or |
| 724 |
not a specific action is allowed on a remote server can be controlled |
| 725 |
by appending the `:remote` flag. For example: `kill` allows only local |
| 726 |
clients to be killed, whereas `kill:remote` allows to issue a `KILL` for |
| 727 |
remote clients |
| 728 |
* Added `locops` and `wallops` to IRC operator flags |

| 742 |
* `STATS o` now shows how many times an operator {} block has been used. |
| 743 |
Similar to `STATS x|q` |

| 745 |
prevents users from sending messages including control codes to a channel |
| 746 |
that has this mode set |
| 747 |
* Fixed bug where bans were not checked against non-channel members when |
| 748 |
sending messages to a channel |
| 749 |

* **IMPORTANT:** name/channel entries can't be stacked any longer within a |
| 763 |
single resv {} block. Each entry now requires its own resv {} block. |
| 764 |
Read `doc/reference.conf` for more details |
| 765 |
* Added `resv::exempt` configuration option. Exempt can be either a |
| 766 |
ISO 3166 alpha-2 two letter country code, or a nick!user@host mask. |
| 767 |
CIDR is supported |
| 768 |
* Removed `channel::restrict_channels` configuration option |
| 769 |
* Preliminary libGeoIP support. Currently only used for exempt entries |
| 770 |

* Implemented IRCv3.1 `away-notify` extension |
| 783 |
|
| 784 |
|
| 785 |

| 802 |
These previously used user mode +x. |
| 803 |

| 804 |
via `SVSMODE <timestamp> <target> +x <hostname>` |
| 805 |
|
| 806 |
|
| 807 |
-- Noteworthy changes in version 8.0.6 (2013-01-28) |

| 811 |
|
| 812 |

| 828 |
on how the new `class::min_idle` and `class::max_idle` configuration |
| 829 |
directives have been configured. This feature basically works in the |
| 830 |
same way as it does in csircd |
| 831 |
* The configuration parser now does support `year` and `month` units |
| 832 |
|
| 833 |

* `channel::disable_fake_channels` now also disables ascii 29 (mIRC italic) |
| 892 |
when set to yes |
| 893 |

| 894 |
was to let IRC operators join three times the amount of max_chans_per_user |
| 895 |
* Replaced `MODLOAD`, `MODUNLOAD`, `MODRELOAD`, `MODLIST` and `MODRESTART` |
| 896 |
commands with the new `MODULE` command which can be fed with the `LOAD,` |
| 897 |
`UNLOAD`, `RELOAD` and `LIST` parameters. |

| 906 |
|
| 907 |
-- Noteworthy changes in version 8.0.0beta1 (2012-05-28) |
| 908 |
* Implemented full services support, including but not limited to the |
| 909 |
following changes: |
| 910 |
- Added `SVSNICK`, and `SVSMODE` command handlers |
| 911 |
- Added service stamps to `NICK`/`UID` messages |
| 912 |
- Added SVS to server capabilities (`CAPAB`). SVS capable servers can |
| 913 |
deal with extended `NICK`/`UID` messages that contain service IDs/stamps. |
| 914 |
- Changed rejected client notices to go to new user mode +j. These |
| 915 |
previously used user mode +r. |
| 916 |
- Added user mode +r (registered nick) and channel mode +r (registered channel) |
| 917 |
- Added user mode +R (only registered clients may send a private message) |
| 918 |
- Added channel mode +R (only registered clients may join that channel) |
| 919 |
- Various services shortcuts have been added (`NS`, `CS`, `NICKSERV`, `CHANSERV`, etc.) |
| 920 |
- Added services {} block to `ircd.conf` |
| 921 |
- Added services_name directive to general {} block |
| 922 |
- Added `GLOBOPS` mainly for services compatibility, but can be used by IRC operators, too |
| 923 |
* Removed `RKLINE` and `RXLINE` commands. Regular expression based bans should |
| 924 |
only be added via `ircd.conf` |
| 925 |
* Added `globops`, `restart`, `dline`, `undline` and `module` IRC operator privilege flags. |
| 926 |
Read `doc/reference.conf` for further explanation of what these flags control |
| 927 |
* Removed Idle-time klines |
| 928 |
* Cleaned up modules API. Old modules won't work anymore |
| 929 |
* Removed `general::burst_away` configuration directive. AWAY bursts are now |
| 930 |
controlled via `connect::flags` explicitly |
| 931 |
* Introduced new logging subsystem including log rotation based on |
| 932 |
file sizes. Log timestamp format is ISO8601 now |
| 933 |
* Added support for remote D-lines |
| 934 |
* Added user mode +H which is basically a replacement for the hidden_admin and |
| 935 |
`hidden_oper` operator flags. With user mode +H, IRC operator status can now |
| 936 |
be hidden even on remote servers |
| 937 |
* Added CIDR support for operator {} blocks |
| 938 |
* Removed the servlink program. ircd-hybrid can now make use of |
| 939 |
SSL/TLS for inter-server communication. |
| 940 |
NOTE: compressed server links are of course still available, but a SSL/TLS |
| 941 |
connection is required, as compression is now handled via OpenSSL |
| 942 |
* Removed `ssl_server_protocol` configuration directive and |
| 943 |
added `ssl_client_method` and `ssl_server_method` instead. |
| 944 |
Both of these options can now be changed at runtime |
| 945 |
* IRC operator login IDs are no longer limited to NICKLEN*2 |
| 946 |
* Removed `channel::burst_topicwho` configuration option. This feature is now |
| 947 |
enabled by default |
| 948 |
* `STATS Y|y` now reports CIDR limits as well |
| 949 |
* Added `m_webirc.c` to `contrib/` |
| 950 |
* Overall code cleanup and speed improvements |
