- Added service stamps to NICK/UID messages |
| 6 |
> |
- Usermode +r (registered nick) has been added, as well as |
| 7 |
> |
channelmode +r (registered channel) |
| 8 |
> |
- Now that usermode +r has a different function than before, rejected |
| 9 |
> |
client notices now go to new usermode +j |
| 10 |
> |
- Various services shortcuts have been added (/NS, /CS, /NICKSERV, /CHANSERV, etc.) |
| 11 |

bans should only be added via ircd.conf |
| 17 |
> |
o) Added 'globops', 'restart', 'dline', 'undline' and 'module' operator privilege flags. |

controlled via connect::flags explicitly |
| 24 |
> |
o) Introduced new logging subsystem including log rotation based on |
| 25 |
> |
file sizes |
| 26 |
> |
o) Added support for remote D-lines |
| 27 |
> |
o) Added usermode +H which is basically a replacement for the hidden_admin and |
| 28 |
> |
hidden_oper operator flags. With usermode +H, irc operator status can now |
| 29 |
> |
be hidden even on remote servers |
| 30 |
> |
o) The servlink program has been removed. ircd-hybrid can now make use of SSL/TLS |
| 31 |
> |
for inter-server communication. |
| 32 |
> |
NOTE: compressed server links are of course still available, but a SSL/TLS |
| 33 |
> |
connection is required, as compression is now handled via the OpenSSL library |

– |
o) Major 64-bit cleanups and portability fixes. |
| 12 |
– |
o) Fixed bug where unregistered clients were not able to complete registration |
| 13 |
– |
process with /quote PONG <ping_cookie> in case the client was assigned a |
| 14 |
– |
zero value ping-cookie. This may only happen with general::ping_cookie |
| 15 |
– |
being enabled. |
| 16 |
– |
o) "STATS z" now shows the actual amount of memory consumption being |
| 17 |
– |
used by channel bans/excepts/invites. |
| 18 |

| 19 |

passwords hashed using these algorithms will work depends on the system's |

watch entries a single client may have on its watchlist. |
