the +l mode set |

o) Removed 'remote', and 'global_kill' oper flags, and added 'connect', |
450 |
'squit', and 'kill' flags for better fine-tuning instead. Whether or |
451 |
not a specific action is allowed on a remote server can be controlled |
452 |
by appending the ':remote' flag. For example: 'kill' allows only local |
453 |
clients to be killed, whereas 'kill:remote' allows to issue a KILL for |
454 |

474 |
o) Fixed bug where bans were not checked against non-channel members when |
475 |
sending messages to a channel |

560 |

562 |
same way as it does in csircd |
563 |

627 |

628 |
with the new MODULE command which can be fed with the LOAD, UNLOAD, RELOAD |

o) Implemented full services support, including but not limited to the |
641 |
following changes: |
642 |
- Added SVSNICK, and SVSMODE command handlers |
643 |
- Added service stamps to NICK/UID messages |
644 |
- Added SVS to server capabilities (CAPAB). SVS capable servers can |
645 |
deal with extended NICK/UID messages that contain service IDs/stamps. |
646 |
- Changed rejected client notices to go to new usermode +j. These |
647 |
previously used usermode +r. |
648 |
- Added usermode +r (registered nick) and channelmode +r (registered channel) |
649 |
- Added usermode +R (only registered clients may send a private message) |
650 |
- Added channelmode +R (only registered clients may join that channel) |
651 |
- Various services shortcuts have been added (/NS, /CS, /NICKSERV, /CHANSERV, etc.) |
652 |
- Added services {} block to ircd.conf |
653 |
- Added services_name directive to general {} block |
654 |
- Added GLOBOPS mainly for services compatibility, but can be used by operators, too |
655 |
o) Removed RKLINE and RXLINE commands. Regular expression based bans should |
656 |
only be added via ircd.conf |
657 |
o) Added 'globops', 'restart', 'dline', 'undline' and 'module' operator |
658 |
privilege flags. Read doc/reference.conf for further explanation of what |
659 |
these flags control |
660 |
o) Removed Idle-time klines |
661 |
o) Cleaned up modules API. Old modules won't work anymore |
662 |
o) Removed 'general::burst_away' configuration directive. AWAY bursts are now |
663 |
controlled via 'connect::flags' explicitly |
664 |
o) Introduced new logging subsystem including log rotation based on |
665 |
file sizes. Log timestamp format is ISO8601 now |
666 |
o) Added support for remote D-lines |
667 |
o) Added usermode +H which is basically a replacement for the hidden_admin and |
668 |
hidden_oper operator flags. With usermode +H, irc operator status can now |
669 |
be hidden even on remote servers |
670 |
o) Added CIDR support for operator {} blocks |
671 |
o) Removed the servlink program. ircd-hybrid can now make use of |
672 |
SSL/TLS for inter-server communication. |
673 |
NOTE: compressed server links are of course still available, but a SSL/TLS |
674 |
connection is required, as compression is now handled via OpenSSL |
675 |
o) Removed 'ssl_server_protocol' configuration directive and |
676 |
added 'ssl_client_method' and 'ssl_server_method' instead. |
677 |
Both of these options can now be changed at runtime |
678 |
o) Oper login IDs are no longer limited to NICKLEN*2 |
679 |
o) Removed 'channel::burst_topicwho' configuration option. This feature is now |
680 |
enabled by default |
681 |
o) "STATS Y|y" now reports CIDR limits as well |
682 |
o) Added m_webirc.c to contrib/ |
683 |
o) Overall code cleanup and speed improvements |
