1 > -- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.34 (2020-11-01)
2 > * Re-implement backwards compatibility mode for old ircd-hybrid 8.2.23 and below.
3 >  Final removal is scheduled for early 2021.
4 > * For consistency, the `general::network_desc` configuration directive has been
5 >  renamed to `general::network_description`
6 > * Server notices that previously have been sent to user modes +f and +u are now
7 >  sent to user mode +j (reject notices) instead. Due to this change, `unauth` and
8 >  `full` have been removed from `general::oper_only_umodes`, `general::oper_umodes`,
9 >  and `operator::umodes`.
10 > * User mode +b has been replaced with +f (flood). Spam/flood notices are now sent
11 >  to this user mode. For this, `bots` has been removed from
12 >  `general::oper_only_umodes`, `general::oper_umodes`, and `operator::umodes`.
13 >  `flood` has been added instead to these configuration directives.
14 > * Stricten server/user ID validation. IDs have to be all uppercase everywhere now.
15 > * For a full list of all changes in this release, see <https://git.io/JT7UH>
16 >
17 >
18 > -- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.33 (2020-09-07)
19 > * Added `client` option to `listener::flags`
20 > * Added `defer` option to `listener::flags`
21 > * IRC operators may now use CIDR notation in `WHO`
22 > * For a full list of all changes in this release, see <https://git.io/JTftW>
23 >
24 >
25 > -- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.32 (2020-08-16)
26 > * `RESV` couldn't be issued in case no reason has been supplied. This has been fixed.
27 > * Fixed possible `RPL_WHOISCHANNELS` line truncation of remote replies
28 > * Extban $t of type `matching` has been implemented. This extban allows matching
29 >  based on TLS protocol version and/or cipher suite
30 > * Implemented channel mode `K`. `KNOCK` cannot be used on channels with that mode set
31 > * `STATS ?` is now oper-only
32 > * For a full list of all changes in this release, see <https://git.io/JUZa1>
33 >
34 >
35 > -- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.31 (2020-05-03)
36 > * macOS compatibility fixes
37 > * Removed `spoof_notice` from `auth::flags`. With vhosts now this notice doesn't make
38 >  much sense anymore
39 > * Fixed issue where ban masks might become malformed if set by remote clients/servers
40 > * Fixed issue with channel mode +c where high ascii characters can be erroneously
41 >  detected as control characters
42 > * For a full list of all changes in this release, see <https://git.io/JUZa6>
43 >
44 >
45 > -- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.30 (2020-03-01)

47 >  installed properly during `make install`
48 > * Fixed broken libcrypto detection which caused the ircd not to work with
49 >  OpenSSL under certain circumstances
50 > * Extban $n of type `acting` has been implemented. This extban prevents
51 >  matching users from changing their nick while in the channel. Users
52 >  with voice or above are not affected.
53 > * Channel mode +N has been changed so channel members with +v can change
54 >  their nick name as well
55 > * For a full list of all changes in this release, see <https://git.io/JfOyF>
56 >
57 >
58 > -- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.29 (2020-02-19)
59 > * Extbans have been implemented. Currently supported extbans:
60 >
61 >  Matching:
62 >
63 >  * `$a:<account>`   Matches users logged into a matching account.
64 >  * `$c:<channel>`   Matches users that are on the given channel. An additional
65 >                     prefix of either @, %, or + can be specified to test for
66 >                     certain channel privileges.
67 >  * `$o:<class>`     Matches IRC operators that have joined a class
68 >                     matching the mask.
69 >  * `$r:<realname>`  Matches users with a matching realname.
70 >  * `$s:<server>`    Matches users that are connected to a server matching the mask.
71 >  * `$u:<modes>`     Matches users having the specified user modes set or not set.
72 >  * `$z:<certfp>`    Matches users having the given TLS certificate fingerprint.
73 >
74 >  Acting:
75 >
76 >  * `$j:<banmask>`   Prevents matching users from joining the channel.
77 >  * `$m:<banmask>`   Blocks messages from matching users. Users with voice
78 >                     or above are not affected.
79 >
80 >  For more details, see `help/extban`.
81 > * Added `channel::enable_extbans` configuration option. See `doc/reference.conf`
82 >  for more information.
83 > * For a full list of all changes in this release, see <https://git.io/JvgAL>
84 >

88 > * Allow IRC operators to search for real hosts in `WHO`
89 > * Ban/exempt/invex masks are now also tested against realhosts to prevent clients
90 >  from bypassing channel bans by activating a fakehost
91 > * For a full list of all changes in this release, see <https://git.io/Jv37M>
92 >
93 >
94 > -- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.27 (2020-01-22)

98 >  switch which takes one of the following options: `openssl`, `wolfssl`, `gnutls`,
99 >  and `none`.
100 >  If nothing has been specified, configure tries to autodetect in the following order:
101 >  OpenSSL/LibreSSL -> GnuTLS -> wolfSSL.
102 > * Fixed segfault with GnuTLS/libgmp in case there's no DH parameters file
103 >  defined in `serverinfo::ssl_dh_param_file` or if that file is missing
104 > * The connection timeout for connect{} blocks can now be configured via
105 >  the `connect::timeout` configuration directive

111 >    `ssl_certificate_file` -> `tls_certificate_file`
112 >    `ssl_dh_param_file` -> `tls_dh_param_file`
113 >    `ssl_dh_elliptic_curve` -> `tls_supported_groups`

136 >  configuration directives have been replaced with just `class::number_per_ip_local`
137 >  and `class::number_per_ip_global`. The `class::max_local` basically was
138 >  redundant as it had the same functionality as `class::number_per_ip`

173 >
174 > -- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.22 (2017-03-26)
175 > * Implemented channel mode `L`. Channels with that mode set can make use of an
176 >  extended ban list size specified with the new `channel::max_bans_large`
177 >  configuraton option. This mode can be set only by IRC operators or servers.
178 > * Implemented channel mode `u` which hides bmask (+b/+e/+I) lists and mode changes
179 >  to non-chanops everywhere
180 > * Fixed an issue with `TRACE` where remote servers would reply with `RPL_TRACEUSER`
181 >  numerics containing UIDs

259 >
260 >
261 > -- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.13 (2016-02-02)
262 > * Implemented support for GnuTLS. Currently ./configure's autodetection
263 >  intentionally prefers OpenSSL over GnuTLS, so OpenSSL detection needs

276 >  to update all servers on the network to prevent possible channel
277 >  desynchronizations and nick name collision kills
278 > * Added channel mode `T` which forbids `NOTICE` to be sent to a channel
279 > * Fixed minor `SVSTAG` memory leak
280 > * Fixed broken `PART` message blocking mechanism
281 > * ircd now makes use of up to 8 name servers that are specified in
282 >  `/etc/resolv.conf`

303 >  would not have any effect
304 > * mkpasswd (tools): fixed broken bcrypt support on *BSD in conjunction with
305 >  the `-s` and `-l` switches. Dropped MD5, DES and Extended DES support.
306 > * Removed `CHALLENGE` in favor of ssl certificate fingerprint enabled
307 >  operator {} blocks
308 > * RSA keys with less than 2048 bits are no longer supported; same applies
309 >  to the DH param file
310 > * Added missing IRC operator privilege flags to `STATS o`. For a full list
311 >  of flags see `doc/reference.conf`
312 > * For a full list of all changes in this release, see <https://git.io/JvLqJ>
313 >
314 >
315 > -- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.9 (2015-09-13)
316 > * **IMPORTANT:** database files and links.txt are now stored in `/var/lib`
317 >  instead of `/etc`, so make sure to move your k/d/x-line database files
318 >  to the new path before (re)starting the ircd
319 > * **IMPORTANT:** the splitmode logic has been removed along with the
320 >  following channel {} block configuration directives:

328 >  `-fstack-protector-strong` instead of `-fstack-protector`
329 > * Services can now add RESVs (SQLINEs) that have wildcards in it
330 > * Channel name RESVs are now sanity checked for too broad masks
331 > * `class::connectfreq` now works properly with values lower than 300 seconds
332 > * Implemented IRCv3.1 `account-notify` extension

888 >  - Added `SVSNICK`, and `SVSMODE` command handlers
889 >  - Added service stamps to `NICK`/`UID` messages
890 >  - Added SVS to server capabilities (`CAPAB`). SVS capable servers can
891 >    deal with extended `NICK`/`UID` messages that contain service IDs/stamps.
892 >  - Changed rejected client notices to go to new usermode +j. These
893 >    previously used usermode +r.
894 >  - Added usermode +r (registered nick) and channelmode +r (registered channel)
895 >  - Added usermode +R (only registered clients may send a private message)
896 >  - Added channelmode +R (only registered clients may join that channel)
897 >  - Various services shortcuts have been added (`NS`, `CS`, `NICKSERV`, `CHANSERV`, etc.)
898 >  - Added services {} block to `ircd.conf`
899 >  - Added services_name directive to general {} block
900 >  - Added `GLOBOPS` mainly for services compatibility, but can be used by operators, too
901 > * Removed `RKLINE` and `RXLINE` commands. Regular expression based bans should
902 >  only be added via `ircd.conf`
903 > * Added `globops`, `restart`, `dline`, `undline` and `module` operator privilege flags.
904 >  Read `doc/reference.conf` for further explanation of what these flags control
905 > * Removed Idle-time klines
906 > * Cleaned up modules API. Old modules won't work anymore
907 > * Removed `general::burst_away` configuration directive. AWAY bursts are now
908 >  controlled via `connect::flags` explicitly
909 > * Introduced new logging subsystem including log rotation based on
910 >  file sizes. Log timestamp format is ISO8601 now
911 > * Added support for remote D-lines
912 > * Added usermode +H which is basically a replacement for the hidden_admin and
913 >  `hidden_oper` operator flags. With usermode +H, irc operator status can now
914 >  be hidden even on remote servers
915 > * Added CIDR support for operator {} blocks
916 > * Removed the servlink program. ircd-hybrid can now make use of
917 >  SSL/TLS for inter-server communication.
918 >  NOTE: compressed server links are of course still available, but a SSL/TLS
919 >  connection is required, as compression is now handled via OpenSSL
920 > * Removed `ssl_server_protocol` configuration directive and
921 >  added `ssl_client_method` and `ssl_server_method` instead.
922 >  Both of these options can now be changed at runtime
923 > * Oper login IDs are no longer limited to NICKLEN*2
924 > * Removed `channel::burst_topicwho` configuration option. This feature is now
925 >  enabled by default
926 > * `STATS Y|y` now reports CIDR limits as well
927 > * Added m_webirc.c to contrib/
928 > * Overall code cleanup and speed improvements
