| 44 |
|
o) Implemented full services support. Among other things, the following changes |
| 45 |
|
have been done for this: |
| 46 |
|
- Added SVSNICK, and SVSMODE command handlers |
| 47 |
|
- Added service stamps to NICK/UID messages |
| 48 |
+ |
- Added SVS to server capabilities (CAPAB). SVS capable servers can |
| 49 |
+ |
deal with extended NICK/UID messages that contain service IDs/stamps. |
| 50 |
|
- Usermode +r (registered nick) has been added, as well as |
| 51 |
|
channelmode +r (registered channel) |
| 52 |
|
- Now that usermode +r has a different function than before, rejected |
| 56 |
|
- Added usermode +R (only registered clients may send a private message) |
| 57 |
|
- Added services{} block to ircd.conf |
| 58 |
|
- Added services_name directive to general{} block |
| 59 |
+ |
- Added GLOBOPS mainly for services compatibility, but can be used by operators, too |
| 60 |
|
o) RKLINE and RXLINE commands have been removed. Regular expression based |
| 61 |
|
bans should only be added via ircd.conf |
| 62 |
< |
o) Added 'globops', 'restart' and 'module' operator privilege flags. |
| 63 |
< |
Read etc/example.conf for further explanation of what these flags |
| 62 |
> |
o) Added 'globops', 'restart', 'dline', 'undline' and 'module' operator privilege flags. |
| 63 |
> |
Read doc/example.conf for further explanation of what these flags |
| 64 |
|
are supposed to be doing |
| 65 |
|
o) Idle-time klines have been removed |
| 66 |
|
o) Cleaned up modules API. Old modules won't work anymore |
| 67 |
|
o) Remove general::burst_away configuration directive. AWAY bursts are now |
| 68 |
|
controlled via connect::flags explicitly |
| 69 |
|
o) Introduced new logging subsystem including log rotation based on |
| 70 |
< |
file sizes |
| 71 |
< |
|
| 70 |
> |
file sizes. Log timestamp format is ISO8601 now |
| 71 |
> |
o) Added support for remote D-lines |
| 72 |
> |
o) Added usermode +H which is basically a replacement for the hidden_admin and |
| 73 |
> |
hidden_oper operator flags. With usermode +H, irc operator status can now |
| 74 |
> |
be hidden even on remote servers |
| 75 |
> |
o) Added CIDR support for operator{} blocks |
| 76 |
> |
o) The servlink program has been removed. ircd-hybrid can now make use of SSL/TLS |
| 77 |
> |
for inter-server communication. |
| 78 |
> |
NOTE: compressed server links are of course still available, but a SSL/TLS |
| 79 |
> |
connection is required, as compression is now handled via the OpenSSL library |
| 80 |
> |
o) Removed 'ssl_server_protocol' configuration directive and |
| 81 |
> |
added 'ssl_client_method' and 'ssl_server_method' instead. |
| 82 |
> |
Both of these options can now be changed at runtime |
| 83 |
> |
o) Oper login IDs are no longer limited to NICKLEN*2 |
| 84 |
> |
o) Removed channel::burst_topicwho configuration option. Topicsetters are |
| 85 |
> |
now sent by default |
| 86 |
> |
o) "STATS Y|y" now reports CIDR limits as well |
| 87 |
> |
o) Added m_webirc.c to contrib/ |
| 88 |
> |
o) Overall code cleanup and speed improvements |
