40 >
41 >   Matching:
42 >  
43 >   $a:<account>   Matches users logged into a matching account.
44 >   $c:<channel>   Matches users that are on the given channel. An additional
45 >                  prefix of either @, %, or + can be specified to test for
46 >                  certain channel privileges.
47 >   $o:<class>     Matches IRC operators that have joined a class
48 >                  matching the mask.
49 >   $r:<realname>  Matches users with a matching realname.

53 >  
54 >   Acting:
55 >  
56 >   $j:<banmask>   Prevents matching users from joining the channel.
57 >   $m:<banmask>   Blocks messages from matching users. Users with voice
58 >                  or above are not affected.

79 >   If nothing has been specified, configure tries to autodetect in the following order:
80 >   openssl/libressl -> gnutls -> wolfssl.

119 > o) The 'general::ignore_bogus_ts' configuration option has been deprecated

154 > o) Implemented channel mode 'L'. Channels with that mode set can make use of an
155 >   extended ban list size specified with the new 'channel::max_bans_large'
156 >   configuraton option. This mode can be set only by irc-operators or servers.
157 > o) Implemented channel mode 'u' which hides bmask (+b/+e/+I) lists and mode changes
158 >   to non-chanops everywhere

891 >   - Added SVSNICK, and SVSMODE command handlers

894 >     deal with extended NICK/UID messages that contain service IDs/stamps.
895 >   - Changed rejected client notices to go to new usermode +j.  These
896 >     previously used usermode +r.

902 >   - Added services_name directive to general {} block
903 >   - Added GLOBOPS mainly for services compatibility, but can be used by operators, too
904 > o) Removed RKLINE and RXLINE commands. Regular expression based bans should
905 >   only be added via ircd.conf

907 >   privilege flags. Read doc/reference.conf for further explanation of what

915 > o) Added support for remote D-lines

917 >   hidden_oper operator flags. With usermode +H, irc operator status can now
918 >   be hidden even on remote servers
919 > o) Added CIDR support for operator {} blocks
920 > o) Removed the servlink program. ircd-hybrid can now make use of
921 >   SSL/TLS for inter-server communication.
922 >   NOTE: compressed server links are of course still available, but a SSL/TLS
923 >   connection is required, as compression is now handled via OpenSSL
924 > o) Removed 'ssl_server_protocol' configuration directive and
925 >   added 'ssl_client_method' and 'ssl_server_method' instead.
926 >   Both of these options can now be changed at runtime

932 > o) Overall code cleanup and speed improvements
