1 + -- ircd-hybrid-8.1.2 Release Notes
2 + o) Added support for SHA-256 ssl certificate fingerprint based operator{}
3 +   and connect{} blocks.
4 +   In conjunction with Anope 1.9.x IRC-services, clients are now also able
5 +   to automatically identify for their nick with ssl certificate
6 +   fingerprints
7 + o) Added operator::ssl_connection_required configuration option. See
8 +   doc/reference.conf for more information
9 + o) Added usermode +S (client is connected via SSL/TLS). Allows services
10 +   to keep track of what users are connected via SSL, and allows to see
11 +   ssl-status of remote clients in a /whois
12 + o) Fixed a server name leak with server hiding enabled. Reported by
13 +   Adam <adam@anope.org>
14 +
15 +
16 + -- ircd-hybrid-8.1.1 Release Notes
17 + ########################################################################
18 + o) IMPORTANT: moved disable_remote_command configuration directive from
19 +   general{} block to serverhide{} block
20 + ########################################################################
21 + o) Minor code cleanups/performance improvements
22 + o) Fixed bug where opers could see LOCOPS messages even if they don't have
23 +   the +l mode set
24 + o) Fixed bug where non-SSL clients could join +S channels on non-SSL servers
25 + o) Implemented motd{} configuration blocks. See doc/reference.conf for more
26 +   information
27 + o) "STATS T" shows configured MOTD files

35 + o) Fixed broken spoofs
36 +
37 +
38 + -- ircd-hybrid-8.1.0beta5 Release Notes
39 + o) Removed 'remote', and 'global_kill' oper flags, and added 'connect',
40 +   'squit', and 'kill' flags for better fine-tuning instead. Whether or
41 +   not a specific action is allowed on a remote server can be controlled
42 +   by appending the ':remote' flag. For example: 'kill' allows only local
43 +   clients to be killed, whereas 'kill:remote' allows to issue a KILL for
44 +   remote clients
45 + o) Added 'locops' and 'wallops' to irc-operator flags
46 + o) Improve/cleanup HELP system

59 + o) "STATS o" now shows how many times an oper{} block has been used.
60 +   Similar to STATS x|q"
61 + o) Implemented channel mode +c. Known from other ircds, this mode basically
62 +   prevents users from sending messages including control codes to a channel
63 +   that has this mode set
64 + o) Fixed bug where bans were not checked against non-channel members when
65 +   sending messages to a channel
66 + o) Removed channel::quiet_on_ban configuration option. This feature is
67 +   now enabled by default
68 +
69 +

71 + o) Fixed broken compile with libGeoIP disabled
72 + o) Code cleanups; working towards stabilization and improved performance

95 + o) Implemented new binary database storage for X-,D-,K-,G-Lines and RESVs.
96 +   Temporary bans are now stored as well and will persist after a reboot
