5     and connect{} blocks.
6     In conjunction with Anope 1.9.x IRC-services, clients are now also able
7     to automatically identify for their nick with ssl certificate
8     fingerprints
9     o) Added operator::ssl_connection_required configuration option. See
10     doc/reference.conf for more information

12     to keep track of what users are connected via SSL, and allows to see

15     Adam <adam@anope.org>

41     o) Removed 'remote', and 'global_kill' oper flags, and added 'connect',
42     'squit', and 'kill' flags for better fine-tuning instead. Whether or
43     not a specific action is allowed on a remote server can be controlled
44 michael 2155 by appending the ':remote' flag. For example: 'kill' allows only local
45 michael 2012 clients to be killed, whereas 'kill:remote' allows to issue a KILL for
46     remote clients

238     - Added service stamps to NICK/UID messages
239 michael 1409 - Added SVS to server capabilities (CAPAB). SVS capable servers can
240 michael 1420 deal with extended NICK/UID messages that contain service IDs/stamps.
241 lusky 1580 - Changed rejected client notices to go to new usermode +j. These
242     previously used usermode +r.
243     - Added usermode +r (registered nick) and channelmode +r (registered channel)
244     - Added usermode +R (only registered clients may send a private message)
245     - Added channelmode +R (only registered clients may join that channel)
246 michael 1244 - Various services shortcuts have been added (/NS, /CS, /NICKSERV, /CHANSERV, etc.)
247     - Added services{} block to ircd.conf
248     - Added services_name directive to general{} block

251     only be added via ircd.conf
252     o) Added 'globops', 'restart', 'dline', 'undline' and 'module' operator
253 michael 1823 privilege flags. Read doc/reference.conf for further explanation of what
254 lusky 1580 these flags control

256 michael 1244 o) Cleaned up modules API. Old modules won't work anymore

260 michael 1418 file sizes. Log timestamp format is ISO8601 now
261 michael 1315 o) Added support for remote D-lines
262     o) Added usermode +H which is basically a replacement for the hidden_admin and
263     hidden_oper operator flags. With usermode +H, irc operator status can now
264     be hidden even on remote servers
265 michael 1418 o) Added CIDR support for operator{} blocks
266 lusky 1580 o) Removed the servlink program. ircd-hybrid can now make use of
267     SSL/TLS for inter-server communication.
268 michael 1315 NOTE: compressed server links are of course still available, but a SSL/TLS
269 lusky 1580 connection is required, as compression is now handled via OpenSSL
270 michael 1418 o) Removed 'ssl_server_protocol' configuration directive and
271     added 'ssl_client_method' and 'ssl_server_method' instead.
272     Both of these options can now be changed at runtime
