12 + -- ircd-hybrid-8beta2 Release Notes
13 + o) channel::disable_fake_channels now also disables ascii 29 (mIRC italic)
14 +   when set to yes
15 + o) Added channel::max_chans_per_oper configuration directive. The old way

17 + o) Replaced MODLOAD, MODUNLOAD, MODRELOAD, MODLIST and MODRESTART commands
18 +   with the new MODULE command which can be fed with the LOAD, UNLOAD, RELOAD
19 +   and LIST parameters.
20 +   MODRESTART has been entirely removed. Use "MODULE RELOAD *" to reload all modules

27   -- ircd-hybrid-8beta1 Release Notes
28   o) Implemented full services support. Among other things, the following changes
29     have been done for this:
30     - Added SVSNICK, and SVSMODE command handlers
31     - Added service stamps to NICK/UID messages
32 +   - Added SVS to server capabilities (CAPAB). SVS capable servers can
33 +     deal with extended NICK/UID messages that contain service IDs/stamps.
34     - Usermode +r (registered nick) has been added, as well as
35       channelmode +r (registered channel)
36     - Now that usermode +r has a different function than before, rejected
# Line 12 | Line 40 | o) Implemented full services support. Am
40     - Added usermode +R (only registered clients may send a private message)
41     - Added services{} block to ircd.conf
42     - Added services_name directive to general{} block
43 +   - Added GLOBOPS mainly for services compatibility, but can be used by operators, too
44   o) RKLINE and RXLINE commands have been removed. Regular expression based
45     bans should only be added via ircd.conf
46   o) Added 'globops', 'restart', 'dline', 'undline' and 'module' operator privilege flags.
# Line 22 | Line 51 | o) Cleaned up modules API. Old modules w
51   o) Remove general::burst_away configuration directive. AWAY bursts are now
52     controlled via connect::flags explicitly
53   o) Introduced new logging subsystem including log rotation based on
54 <   file sizes
54 >   file sizes. Log timestamp format is ISO8601 now
55   o) Added support for remote D-lines
56   o) Added usermode +H which is basically a replacement for the hidden_admin and
57     hidden_oper operator flags. With usermode +H, irc operator status can now
58     be hidden even on remote servers
59 + o) Added CIDR support for operator{} blocks
60   o) The servlink program has been removed. ircd-hybrid can now make use of SSL/TLS
61     for inter-server communication.
62     NOTE: compressed server links are of course still available, but a SSL/TLS
63     connection is required, as compression is now handled via the OpenSSL library

66 >   Both of these options can now be changed at runtime
67 > o) Oper login IDs are no longer limited to NICKLEN*2
68 > o) Removed channel::burst_topicwho configuration option. Topicsetters are

70 > o) "STATS Y|y" now reports CIDR limits as well
71 > o) Added m_webirc.c to contrib/
