-+
+-- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.31 (2020-05-03)
-+
+o) macOS compatibility fixes
-+
+o) Removed 'spoof_notice' from auth::flags. With vhosts now this notice doesn't make
-+
+   much sense anymore
-+
+o) Fixed issue where ban masks might become malformed if set by remote clients/servers
-+
+o) Fixed issue with channel mode +c where high ascii characters can be erroneously
-+
+   detected as control characters
-+
+o) For a full list of all changes in this release, see https://git.io/JfsmV
-+
-+
-+
+-- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.30 (2020-03-01)
-+
+o) "QUOTE HELP extban" didn't work because the extban help file hasn't been
-+
+   installed properly during 'make install'
-+
+o) Fixed broken libcrypto detection which caused the ircd not to work with
-+
+   openssl under certain circumstances
-+
+o) Extban $n of type 'acting' has been implemented. This extban prevents
-+
+   matching users from changing their nick while in the channel. Users
-+
+   with voice or above are not affected.
-+
+o) Channel mode +N has been changed so channel members with +v can change
-+
+   their nick name as well
-+
+o) For a full list of all changes in this release, see https://git.io/JfOyF
-+
-+
-+
+-- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.29 (2020-02-19)
-+
+o) Extbans have been implemented. Currently supported extbans:
-+
-+
+   Matching:
-+
-+
+   $a:<account>   Matches users logged into a matching account.
-+
+   $c:<channel>   Matches users that are on the given channel. An additional
-+
+                  prefix of either @, %, or + can be specified to test for
-+
+                  certain channel privileges.
-+
+   $o:<class>     Matches IRC operators that have joined a class
-+
+                  matching the mask.
-+
+   $r:<realname>  Matches users with a matching realname.
-+
+   $s:<server>    Matches users that are connected to a server matching the mask.
-+
+   $u:<modes>     Matches users having the specified user modes set or not set.
-+
+   $z:<certfp>    Matches users having the given TLS certificate fingerprint.
-+
-+
+   Acting:
-+
-+
+   $j:<banmask>   Prevents matching users from joining the channel.
-+
+   $m:<banmask>   Blocks messages from matching users. Users with voice
-+
+                  or above are not affected.
-+
-+
+   For more details, see help/extban.
-+
+o) Added 'channel::enable_extbans' configuration option. See doc/reference.conf
-+
+   for more information.
-+
+o) For a full list of all changes in this release, see https://git.io/JvgAL
-+
-+
-+
+-- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.28 (2020-01-26)
-+
+o) Fixed issue with topics set by TBURST not being propagated properly to clients
-+
+o) Allow IRC operators to search for real hosts in "WHO"
-+
+o) Ban/exempt/invex masks are now also tested against realhosts to prevent clients
-+
+   from bypassing channel bans by activating a fakehost
-+
+o) For a full list of all changes in this release, see https://git.io/Jv37M
-+
-+
-+
+-- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.27 (2020-01-22)
-+
+o) Experimental support for wolfSSL has been implemented. Minimum supported version is 4.3.0
-+
+o) The --enable-openssl, --enable-gnutls switches, and their disabling counterparts
-+
+   --disable-openssl and --disable-gnutls, have been replaced with the --with-tls switch
-+
+   which takes one of the following options: 'openssl', 'wolfssl', 'gnutls', and 'none'.
-+
+   If nothing has been specified, configure tries to autodetect in the following order:
-+
+   openssl/libressl -> gnutls -> wolfssl.
-+
+o) Fixed segfault with GnuTLS/libgmp in case there's no DH parameters file
-+
+   defined in 'serverinfo::ssl_dh_param_file' or if that file is missing
-+
+o) The connection timeout for connect{} blocks can now be configured via
-+
+   the 'connect::timeout' configuration directive
-+
+o) Minimum supported OpenSSL version is 1.1.1 now
-+
+o) Minimum supported GnuTLS version is 3.6.5 now
-+
+o) Supported TLSv1.3 cipher suites can now be configured explicitely via the
-+
+   new 'serverinfo::tls_cipher_suites' configuration directive
-+
+o) In the serverinfo {} block, the following configuration directives have been renamed:
-+
+     ssl_certificate_file -> tls_certificate_file
-+
+     ssl_dh_param_file -> tls_dh_param_file
-+
+     ssl_dh_elliptic_curve -> tls_supported_groups
-+
+     ssl_cipher_list -> tls_cipher_list
-+
+     ssl_message_digest_algorithm -> tls_message_digest_algorithm
-+
+o) In the operator {} block, the following configuration directives have been renamed:
-+
+     ssl_certificate_fingerprint -> tls_certificate_fingerprint
-+
+     ssl_connection_required -> tls_connection_required
-+
+o) In the connect {} block, the following configuration directives have been renamed:
-+
+     ssl_cipher_list -> tls_cipher_list
-+
+     ssl_certificate_fingerprint -> tls_certificate_fingerprint
-+
+o) For a full list of all changes in this release, see https://git.io/Jvq9g
-+
-+
-+
+-- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.26 (2019-05-31)
-+
+o) The 'general::tkline_expire_notices' configuration directive has been
-+
+   replaced with user mode 'X'. *LINE expiration notices are sent to IRC

-+
+   instead of updating existing ones that are already in use
-+

-+
+o) The 'class::number_per_ip', 'class::max_local' and 'class::max_global'
-+
+   configuration directives have been replaced with just 'class::number_per_ip_local'
-+
+   and 'class::number_per_ip_global'. The 'class::max_local' basically was
-+
+   redundant as it had the same functionality as 'class::number_per_ip'
-+
+o) Adding RESVs with wildcards no longer requires administrator privileges
-+
+o) The 'general::ignore_bogus_ts' configuration option has been deprecated
-+
+o) TLSv1.1 and TLSv1.0 are no longer supported and have been disabled in
-+
+   the openssl and gnutls module
-+
+o) Minimum supported OpenSSL version is 1.0.1f now
-+
+o) Minimum supported GnuTLS version is 3.5.8 now
-+
+o) The 'serverinfo::vhost' and 'serverinfo:vhost6' configuration directives have
-+
+   been deprecated. If you need to bind() a specific address you can specify one
-+
+   in the connect {} block
-+
+o) The 'connect::vhost' configuration directive has been renamed to 'connect::bind'

+   nick while in a channel with that mode set
-+
+o) Services clients are now shown with 'is a Network Service' in "WHOIS"
-+
+o) For a full list of all changes in this release, see https://git.io/fjRVt

+-- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.22 (2017-03-26)
-+
+o) Implemented channel mode 'L'. Channels with that mode set can make use of an
-+
+   extended ban list size specified with the new 'channel::max_bans_large'
-+
+   configuraton option. This mode can be set only by irc-operators or servers.
-+
+o) Implemented channel mode 'u' which hides bmask (+b/+e/+I) lists and mode changes
-+
+   to non-chanops everywhere
-+
+o) Fixed an issue with "TRACE" where remote servers would reply with RPL_TRACEUSER

+o) For a full list of all changes in this release, see https://git.io/fjR9f
-+
-+
-+
+-- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.13 (2016-02-02)
-+
+o) Implemented support for GnuTLS. Currently ./configure's autodetection
-+
+   intentionally prefers OpenSSL over GnuTLS, so OpenSSL detection needs
-+

-+
+   they potentially could leak passwords and other sensitive data to irc
-+
+   operators that don't have administrator privileges
