o) channel::disable_fake_channels now also disables ascii 29 (mIRC italic) |
| 3 |
+ |
when set to yes |
| 4 |
+ |
o) Unregistered clients may not talk in a +R channel |
| 5 |
+ |
o) Added channel::max_chans_per_oper configuration directive. The old way |
| 6 |
+ |
was to let ircops join three times the amount of max_chans_per_user |

|
-- ircd-hybrid-8beta1 Release Notes |
| 9 |
|
o) Implemented full services support. Among other things, the following changes |
| 10 |
|
have been done for this: |
| 11 |
|
- Added SVSNICK, and SVSMODE command handlers |
| 12 |
|
- Added service stamps to NICK/UID messages |
| 13 |
+ |
- Added SVS to server capabilities (CAPAB). SVS capable servers can |
| 14 |
+ |
deal with extended NICK/UID messages that contain service IDs/stamps. |
| 15 |
|
- Usermode +r (registered nick) has been added, as well as |
| 16 |
< |
channelmode +r (registered channel). |
| 16 |
> |
channelmode +r (registered channel) |
| 17 |
> |
- Now that usermode +r has a different function than before, rejected |
| 18 |
> |
client notices now go to new usermode +j |
| 19 |
|
- Various services shortcuts have been added (/NS, /CS, /NICKSERV, /CHANSERV, etc.) |
| 20 |
|
- Added channelmode +R (only registered clients may join that channel) |
| 21 |
|
- Added usermode +R (only registered clients may send a private message) |
| 22 |
|
- Added services{} block to ircd.conf |
| 23 |
|
- Added services_name directive to general{} block |
| 24 |
+ |
- Added GLOBOPS mainly for services compatibility, but can be used by operators, too |
| 25 |
|
o) RKLINE and RXLINE commands have been removed. Regular expression based |
| 26 |
|
bans should only be added via ircd.conf |
| 27 |
< |
o) Added 'globops', 'restart' and 'module' operator privilege flags. |
| 28 |
< |
Read etc/example.conf for further explanation of what these flags |
| 29 |
< |
are supposed to be doing. |
| 27 |
> |
o) Added 'globops', 'restart', 'dline', 'undline' and 'module' operator privilege flags. |
| 28 |
> |
Read doc/example.conf for further explanation of what these flags |
| 29 |
> |
are supposed to be doing |
| 30 |
|
o) Idle-time klines have been removed |
| 31 |
|
o) Cleaned up modules API. Old modules won't work anymore |
| 32 |
+ |
o) Remove general::burst_away configuration directive. AWAY bursts are now |
| 33 |
+ |
controlled via connect::flags explicitly |
| 34 |
+ |
o) Introduced new logging subsystem including log rotation based on |
| 35 |
+ |
file sizes. Log timestamp format is ISO8601 now |
| 36 |
+ |
o) Added support for remote D-lines |
| 37 |
+ |
o) Added usermode +H which is basically a replacement for the hidden_admin and |
| 38 |
+ |
hidden_oper operator flags. With usermode +H, irc operator status can now |
| 39 |
+ |
be hidden even on remote servers |
| 40 |
+ |
o) Added CIDR support for operator{} blocks |
| 41 |
+ |
o) The servlink program has been removed. ircd-hybrid can now make use of SSL/TLS |
| 42 |
+ |
for inter-server communication. |
| 43 |
+ |
NOTE: compressed server links are of course still available, but a SSL/TLS |
| 44 |
+ |
connection is required, as compression is now handled via the OpenSSL library |
| 45 |
+ |
o) Removed 'ssl_server_protocol' configuration directive and |
| 46 |
+ |
added 'ssl_client_method' and 'ssl_server_method' instead. |
| 47 |
+ |
Both of these options can now be changed at runtime |
| 48 |
+ |
o) Oper login IDs are no longer limited to NICKLEN*2 |
| 49 |
+ |
o) Removed channel::burst_topicwho configuration option. Topicsetters are |
| 50 |
+ |
now sent by default |
| 51 |
+ |
o) "STATS Y|y" now reports CIDR limits as well |
| 52 |
+ |
o) Added m_webirc.c to contrib/ |
| 53 |
+ |
o) Overall code cleanup and speed improvements |
