| 4 |
+ |
much sense anymore |
| 5 |
+ |
o) Fixed issue where ban masks might become malformed if set by remote clients/servers |
| 6 |
+ |
o) Fixed issue with channel mode +c where high ascii characters can be erroneously |
| 7 |

detected as control characters |

installed properly during 'make install' |

| 15 |
+ |
openssl under certain circumstances |
| 16 |
+ |
o) Extban $n of type 'acting' has been implemented. This extban prevents |
| 17 |
+ |
matching users from changing their nick while in the channel. Users |
| 18 |
+ |
with voice or above are not affected. |
| 19 |
+ |
o) Channel mode +N has been changed so channel members with +v can change |

| 26 |
+ |
|
| 27 |
+ |
Matching: |
| 28 |
+ |
|
| 29 |
+ |
$a:<account> Matches users logged into a matching account. |
| 30 |
+ |
$c:<channel> Matches users that are on the given channel. An additional |
| 31 |
+ |
prefix of either @, %, or + can be specified to test for |
| 32 |
+ |
certain channel privileges. |

+ |
$o:<class> Matches IRC operators that have joined a class |
| 34 |
+ |
matching the mask. |

| 38 |
+ |
$z:<certfp> Matches users having the given TLS certificate fingerprint. |

| 41 |
+ |
|
| 42 |

| 54 |
+ |
o) Allow IRC operators to search for real hosts in "WHO" |
| 55 |

-- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.27 (2020-01-22) |
| 61 |
+ |

--disable-openssl and --disable-gnutls, have been replaced with the --with-tls switch |
| 64 |
+ |
which takes one of the following options: 'openssl', 'wolfssl', 'gnutls', and 'none'. |
| 65 |
+ |
If nothing has been specified, configure tries to autodetect in the following order: |
| 66 |
+ |
openssl/libressl -> gnutls -> wolfssl. |
| 67 |
+ |
o) Fixed segfault with GnuTLS/libgmp in case there's no DH parameters file |
| 68 |
+ |
defined in 'serverinfo::ssl_dh_param_file' or if that file is missing |
| 69 |
+ |
o) The connection timeout for connect{} blocks can now be configured via |
| 70 |
+ |
the 'connect::timeout' configuration directive |
| 71 |
+ |
o) Minimum supported OpenSSL version is 1.1.1 now |
| 72 |
+ |

| 76 |
+ |
ssl_certificate_file -> tls_certificate_file |
| 77 |
+ |
ssl_dh_param_file -> tls_dh_param_file |

| 84 |
+ |
o) In the connect {} block, the following configuration directives have been renamed: |

| 93 |
+ |
operators with that mode set |
| 94 |

o) The 'class::number_per_ip', 'class::max_local' and 'class::max_global' |
| 101 |
+ |
configuration directives have been replaced with just 'class::number_per_ip_local' |
| 102 |
+ |
and 'class::number_per_ip_global'. The 'class::max_local' basically was |
| 103 |
+ |
redundant as it had the same functionality as 'class::number_per_ip' |
| 104 |
+ |
o) Adding RESVs with wildcards no longer requires administrator privileges |
| 105 |
+ |
o) The 'general::ignore_bogus_ts' configuration option has been deprecated |

in the connect {} block |
| 113 |
+ |
o) The 'connect::vhost' configuration directive has been renamed to 'connect::bind' |

when deoppering |

o) Implemented channel mode 'L'. Channels with that mode set can make use of an |
| 141 |
+ |
extended ban list size specified with the new 'channel::max_bans_large' |
| 142 |
+ |
configuraton option. This mode can be set only by irc-operators or servers. |
| 143 |

| 153 |
+ |
o) The 'general::default_floodtime' configuration option has been added |
| 154 |
+ |
along with the "SET FLOODTIME" command. These allow to fine-tune the |
| 155 |
