24 + o) channel::disable_fake_channels now also disables ascii 29 (mIRC italic)
25 +   when set to yes
26 + o) Added channel::max_chans_per_oper configuration directive. The old way

28 + o) Replaced MODLOAD, MODUNLOAD, MODRELOAD, MODLIST and MODRESTART commands
29 +   with the new MODULE command which can be fed with the LOAD, UNLOAD, RELOAD

37 +
38   -- ircd-hybrid-8beta1 Release Notes
39   o) Implemented full services support. Among other things, the following changes
40     have been done for this:
41     - Added SVSNICK, and SVSMODE command handlers
42     - Added service stamps to NICK/UID messages
43 +   - Added SVS to server capabilities (CAPAB). SVS capable servers can
44 +     deal with extended NICK/UID messages that contain service IDs/stamps.
45     - Usermode +r (registered nick) has been added, as well as
46       channelmode +r (registered channel)
47     - Now that usermode +r has a different function than before, rejected
# Line 12 | Line 51 | o) Implemented full services support. Am
51     - Added usermode +R (only registered clients may send a private message)
52     - Added services{} block to ircd.conf
53     - Added services_name directive to general{} block
54 +   - Added GLOBOPS mainly for services compatibility, but can be used by operators, too
55   o) RKLINE and RXLINE commands have been removed. Regular expression based
56     bans should only be added via ircd.conf
57   o) Added 'globops', 'restart', 'dline', 'undline' and 'module' operator privilege flags.
# Line 22 | Line 62 | o) Cleaned up modules API. Old modules w
62   o) Remove general::burst_away configuration directive. AWAY bursts are now
63     controlled via connect::flags explicitly
64   o) Introduced new logging subsystem including log rotation based on
65 <   file sizes
65 >   file sizes. Log timestamp format is ISO8601 now
66   o) Added support for remote D-lines
67   o) Added usermode +H which is basically a replacement for the hidden_admin and
68     hidden_oper operator flags. With usermode +H, irc operator status can now
69     be hidden even on remote servers
70 + o) Added CIDR support for operator{} blocks
71   o) The servlink program has been removed. ircd-hybrid can now make use of SSL/TLS
72     for inter-server communication.
73     NOTE: compressed server links are of course still available, but a SSL/TLS
74     connection is required, as compression is now handled via the OpenSSL library
75 + o) Removed 'ssl_server_protocol' configuration directive and
76 +   added 'ssl_client_method' and 'ssl_server_method' instead.
77 +   Both of these options can now be changed at runtime
78   o) Oper login IDs are no longer limited to NICKLEN*2
79 + o) Removed channel::burst_topicwho configuration option. Topicsetters are
80 +   now sent by default
81 + o) "STATS Y|y" now reports CIDR limits as well
82 + o) Added m_webirc.c to contrib/
83 + o) Overall code cleanup and speed improvements
