+#######################################################################
-+
+Reminder for package maintainers of ircd-hybrid: ircd-hybrid now has
-+
+GnuTLS support as of version 8.2.13
-+
+#######################################################################
-+
-+
+-- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.17 (2016-04-21)
-+
+o) Fixed core on "REHASH CONF" with 'general::whowas_history_length'
-+
+   set to 0
-+
+o) Fixed possible core on INVITE with 'channel::max_channels' set to 0
-+
-+
-+
+-- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.16 (2016-03-20)
-+
+o) Added 'general::whowas_history_length' configuration option which
-+
+   allows to define the maximum length of the WHOWAS nickname history
-+
+o) Services are now allowed to override 'general::min_nonwildcard',
-+
+   and 'general::min_nonwildcard_simple' settings
-+
+o) Minor updates to help files
-+
-+
-+
+-- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.15 (2016-02-24)
-+
+o) Added proper support for Raspbian/ARM. Gracias to Beave/2600.net

-+
-+
+-- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.14 (2016-02-09)
-+
+o) Fixed server clustering
-+
+o) Major cleanups to the configuration subsystem
-+
+o) Improvements to libGeoIP support:
-+
+   - Works now with IPv6 addresses
-+
+   - Added 'libgeoip_database_options', 'libgeoip_ipv4_database_file',
-+
+     and 'libgeoip_ipv6_database_file' configuration directives to the
-+
+     serverinfo {} block

+o) Further improvements to GnuTLS support
-+
-+
-+
+-- 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
-+
+   to be disabled explicitely by using the --disable-openssl switch.
-+
+o) Minimum supported GnuTLS version is 3.3.8 now
-+
+o) Minimum supported OpenSSL version is 1.0.1d now

+o) Added channel mode +T which forbids NOTICEs to be sent to a channel
-+
+o) Fixed minor SVSTAG memory leak
-+
+o) Fixed broken PART message blocking mechanism
-+
+o) ircd now makes use of up to 8 name servers that are specified in

-+
+   with the -s and -l switches. Dropped MD5, DES and Extended DES support.
-+
+o) Removed CHALLENGE in favor of ssl certificate fingerprint enabled
-+
+   operator {} blocks
-+
+o) RSA keys with less than 2048 bits are no longer supported; same applies
-+
