3 |
o) Fixed possible RPL_WHOISCHANNELS line truncation of remote replies |
4 |
o) Extban $t of type 'matching' has been implemented. This extban allows matching |
5 |
based on TLS protocol version and/or cipher suite |
6 |

12 |
o) Removed 'spoof_notice' from auth::flags. With vhosts now this notice doesn't make |
13 |
much sense anymore |
14 |

15 |
o) Fixed issue with channel mode +c where high ascii characters can be erroneously |
16 |
detected as control characters |

21 |
o) "QUOTE HELP extban" didn't work because the extban help file hasn't been |
22 |
installed properly during 'make install' |
23 |
o) Fixed broken libcrypto detection which caused the ircd not to work with |
24 |
openssl under certain circumstances |
25 |
o) Extban $n of type 'acting' has been implemented. This extban prevents |
26 |
matching users from changing their nick while in the channel. Users |
27 |
with voice or above are not affected. |
28 |
o) Channel mode +N has been changed so channel members with +v can change |
29 |
their nick name as well |

36 |
Matching: |
37 |
|
38 |
$a:<account> Matches users logged into a matching account. |
39 |
$c:<channel> Matches users that are on the given channel. An additional |
40 |
prefix of either @, %, or + can be specified to test for |
41 |
certain channel privileges. |

43 |
matching the mask. |
44 |

|
49 |
Acting: |
50 |
|
51 |
$j:<banmask> Prevents matching users from joining the channel. |
52 |
$m:<banmask> Blocks messages from matching users. Users with voice |
53 |
or above are not affected. |

70 |
o) Experimental support for wolfSSL has been implemented. Minimum supported version is 4.3.0 |
71 |
o) The --enable-openssl, --enable-gnutls switches, and their disabling counterparts |
72 |
--disable-openssl and --disable-gnutls, have been replaced with the --with-tls switch |
73 |
which takes one of the following options: 'openssl', 'wolfssl', 'gnutls', and 'none'. |
74 |
If nothing has been specified, configure tries to autodetect in the following order: |
75 |
openssl/libressl -> gnutls -> wolfssl. |
76 |
o) Fixed segfault with GnuTLS/libgmp in case there's no DH parameters file |
77 |
defined in 'serverinfo::ssl_dh_param_file' or if that file is missing |
78 |

79 |
the 'connect::timeout' configuration directive |
80 |
o) Minimum supported OpenSSL version is 1.1.1 now |
81 |
o) Minimum supported GnuTLS version is 3.6.5 now |
82 |

83 |
new 'serverinfo::tls_cipher_suites' configuration directive |
84 |
o) In the serverinfo {} block, the following configuration directives have been renamed: |
85 |
ssl_certificate_file -> tls_certificate_file |
86 |
ssl_dh_param_file -> tls_dh_param_file |
87 |
ssl_dh_elliptic_curve -> tls_supported_groups |
88 |
ssl_cipher_list -> tls_cipher_list |
89 |

90 |
o) In the operator {} block, the following configuration directives have been renamed: |
91 |
ssl_certificate_fingerprint -> tls_certificate_fingerprint |
92 |
ssl_connection_required -> tls_connection_required |
93 |
o) In the connect {} block, the following configuration directives have been renamed: |
94 |
ssl_cipher_list -> tls_cipher_list |
95 |
ssl_certificate_fingerprint -> tls_certificate_fingerprint |

100 |
o) The 'general::tkline_expire_notices' configuration directive has been |

102 |
operators with that mode set |
103 |
o) Fixed issue with '/rehash conf' creating duplicated class entries |
104 |
instead of updating existing ones that are already in use |
105 |

109 |
o) The 'class::number_per_ip', 'class::max_local' and 'class::max_global' |
110 |
configuration directives have been replaced with just 'class::number_per_ip_local' |
111 |
and 'class::number_per_ip_global'. The 'class::max_local' basically was |
112 |
redundant as it had the same functionality as 'class::number_per_ip' |
113 |
o) Adding RESVs with wildcards no longer requires administrator privileges |
114 |
o) The 'general::ignore_bogus_ts' configuration option has been deprecated |
115 |
o) TLSv1.1 and TLSv1.0 are no longer supported and have been disabled in |
116 |
the openssl and gnutls module |
117 |
o) Minimum supported OpenSSL version is 1.0.1f now |
118 |
o) Minimum supported GnuTLS version is 3.5.8 now |
119 |

121 |
in the connect {} block |
122 |
o) The 'connect::vhost' configuration directive has been renamed to 'connect::bind' |

127 |
o) Added "STATS s" to show configured pseudo {} blocks |
128 |
o) Implemented channel mode 'N' which prevents users from changing their |
129 |
nick while in a channel with that mode set |
130 |
o) Services clients are now shown with 'is a Network Service' in "WHOIS" |

136 |
and /whois even if the user has a fakehost/vhost |
137 |
o) RPL_WELCOME now does use the rfc2812 style nick!user@host format |
138 |

140 |
electric fence memory debugger library |

143 |
when deoppering |
144 |
o) Fixed 'unknown closes' statistic in "STATS t" showing invalid values sometimes |
145 |
o) For a full list of all changes in this release, see https://git.io/fjRVq |

|
147 |
|
148 |
-- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.22 (2017-03-26) |
149 |
o) Implemented channel mode 'L'. Channels with that mode set can make use of an |
150 |
extended ban list size specified with the new 'channel::max_bans_large' |
151 |
configuraton option. This mode can be set only by irc-operators or servers. |
152 |
o) Implemented channel mode 'u' which hides bmask (+b/+e/+I) lists and mode changes |
153 |
to non-chanops everywhere |
154 |
o) Fixed an issue with "TRACE" where remote servers would reply with RPL_TRACEUSER |
155 |
numerics containing UIDs |

|
234 |
|
235 |
-- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.13 (2016-02-02) |
236 |
o) Implemented support for GnuTLS. Currently ./configure's autodetection |
237 |
intentionally prefers OpenSSL over GnuTLS, so OpenSSL detection needs |
238 |
to be disabled explicitely by using the --disable-openssl switch. |
239 |
o) Minimum supported GnuTLS version is 3.3.8 now |
240 |
o) Minimum supported OpenSSL version is 1.0.1d now |

884 |
o) Implemented full services support, including but not limited to the |
885 |
following changes: |
886 |
- Added SVSNICK, and SVSMODE command handlers |
887 |
- Added service stamps to NICK/UID messages |
888 |
- Added SVS to server capabilities (CAPAB). SVS capable servers can |
889 |
deal with extended NICK/UID messages that contain service IDs/stamps. |
890 |
- Changed rejected client notices to go to new usermode +j. These |
891 |
previously used usermode +r. |
892 |
- Added usermode +r (registered nick) and channelmode +r (registered channel) |
893 |
- Added usermode +R (only registered clients may send a private message) |
894 |
- Added channelmode +R (only registered clients may join that channel) |
895 |
- Various services shortcuts have been added (/NS, /CS, /NICKSERV, /CHANSERV, etc.) |
896 |
- Added services {} block to ircd.conf |
897 |
- Added services_name directive to general {} block |
898 |
- Added GLOBOPS mainly for services compatibility, but can be used by operators, too |
899 |
o) Removed RKLINE and RXLINE commands. Regular expression based bans should |
900 |
only be added via ircd.conf |
901 |
o) Added 'globops', 'restart', 'dline', 'undline' and 'module' operator |
902 |
privilege flags. Read doc/reference.conf for further explanation of what |
903 |
these flags control |
904 |
o) Removed Idle-time klines |
905 |
o) Cleaned up modules API. Old modules won't work anymore |
906 |
o) Removed 'general::burst_away' configuration directive. AWAY bursts are now |
907 |
controlled via 'connect::flags' explicitly |
908 |
o) Introduced new logging subsystem including log rotation based on |
909 |
file sizes. Log timestamp format is ISO8601 now |
910 |
o) Added support for remote D-lines |
911 |
o) Added usermode +H which is basically a replacement for the hidden_admin and |
912 |
hidden_oper operator flags. With usermode +H, irc operator status can now |
913 |
be hidden even on remote servers |
914 |
o) Added CIDR support for operator {} blocks |
915 |
o) Removed the servlink program. ircd-hybrid can now make use of |
916 |
SSL/TLS for inter-server communication. |
917 |
NOTE: compressed server links are of course still available, but a SSL/TLS |
918 |
connection is required, as compression is now handled via OpenSSL |
919 |
o) Removed 'ssl_server_protocol' configuration directive and |
920 |
added 'ssl_client_method' and 'ssl_server_method' instead. |
921 |
Both of these options can now be changed at runtime |
922 |
o) Oper login IDs are no longer limited to NICKLEN*2 |
923 |
o) Removed 'channel::burst_topicwho' configuration option. This feature is now |
924 |
enabled by default |
925 |
o) "STATS Y|y" now reports CIDR limits as well |
926 |
o) Added m_webirc.c to contrib/ |
927 |
o) Overall code cleanup and speed improvements |
