1 + -- ircd-hybrid-8.1.1 Release Notes
2 + o) Fixed bug where opers could see LOCOPS messages even if they don't have
3 +   the +l mode set
4 + o) Fixed bug where non-SSL clients could join +S channels on non-SSL servers
5 + o) "STATS T" shows configured MOTD files
6 + o) Implemented motd{} configuration blocks. See doc/reference.conf for more
7 +   information
8 +
9 +
10 + -- ircd-hybrid-8.1.0 Release Notes
11 + o) Minor code cleanups/performance improvements
12 +
13 +
14 + -- ircd-hybrid-8.1.0rc1 Release Notes
15 + o) Fixed broken spoofs
16 +
17 +
18 + -- ircd-hybrid-8.1.0beta5 Release Notes
19 + o) Removed 'remote', and 'global_kill' oper flags, and added 'connect',
20 +   'squit', and 'kill' flags for better fine-tuning instead. Whether or
21 +   not a specific action is allowed on a remote server can be controlled
22 +   by appending the ':remote' flag. For example: 'kill' allows only local
23 +   clients to be killed, whereas 'kill:remote' allows to issue a KILL for
24 +   remote clients
25 + o) Added 'locops' and 'wallops' to irc-operator flags
26 + o) Improve/cleanup HELP system
27 +
28 +
29 + -- ircd-hybrid-8.1.0beta4 Release Notes
30 + o) Implemented channel mode +M. Clients that haven't identified their
31 +   name with NickServ may not speak in a channel that has this mode set
32 + o) Fixed weird idletimes shown in /trace

34 + o) Added user mode +F (can see remote client connect/exit notices)

37 + -- ircd-hybrid-8.1.0beta3 Release Notes
38 + o) PCRE support has been dropped
39 + o) "STATS o" now shows how many times an oper{} block has been used.
40 +   Similar to STATS x|q"
41 + o) Implemented channel mode +c. Known from other ircds, this mode basically
42 +   prevents users from sending messages including control codes to a channel
43 +   that has this mode set
44 + o) Fixed bug where bans were not checked against non-channel members when
45 +   sending messages to a channel
46 + o) Removed channel::quiet_on_ban configuration option. This feature is
47 +   now enabled by default
48 +
49 +

51 + o) Fixed broken compile with libGeoIP disabled
52 + o) Code cleanups; working towards stabilization and improved performance
53 + o) Removed operflag 'nick_changes'. Operators can now set +n at will

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