1 < -- ircd-hybrid-8beta2 Release Notes
2 < o) channel::disable_fake_channels now also disables ascii 29 (mIRC italic)

8 > -- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.26 (2019-05-31)
9 > o) The 'general::tkline_expire_notices' configuration directive has been
10 >   replaced with user mode 'X'. *LINE expiration notices are sent to IRC
11 >   operators with that mode set
12 > o) Fixed issue with '/rehash conf' creating duplicated class entries
13 >   instead of updating existing ones that are already in use

19 >   configuration directives have been replaced with just 'class::number_per_ip_local'
20 >   and 'class::number_per_ip_global'. The 'class::max_local' basically was

60 >   configuraton option. This mode can be set only by irc-operators or servers.
61 > o) Implemented channel mode 'u' which hides bmask (+b/+e/+I) lists and mode changes
62 >   to non-chanops everywhere
