1 + -- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.27 (2019-??-??)
2 + o) Fixed segfault with GnuTLS/libgmp in case there's no DH parameters file
3 +   defined in 'serverinfo::ssl_dh_param_file' or if that file is missing
4 + o) The connection timeout for connect{} blocks can now be configured via
5 +   the 'connect::timeout' configuration directive
6 +
7 +
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
21 +   redundant as it had the same functionality as 'class::number_per_ip'
22 + o) Adding RESVs with wildcards no longer requires administrator privileges
23 + o) The 'general::ignore_bogus_ts' configuration option has been deprecated
24 + o) TLSv1.1 and TLSv1.0 are no longer supported and have been disabled in

27 + o) Minimum supported GnuTLS version is 3.5.8 now
28 + o) The 'serverinfo::vhost' and 'serverinfo:vhost6' configuration directives have

59 +   extended ban list size specified with the new 'channel::max_bans_large'
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
63 + o) Fixed an issue with "TRACE" where remote servers would reply with RPL_TRACEUSER
64 +   numerics containing UIDs
65 + o) "STATS z" now shows simple memory stats of servers linked to the network
