# Line 1 | Line 1
1 + -- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.27 (2019-??-??)
2 + o) Experimental support for wolfSSL has been implemented. Minimum supported version is 4.3.0
3 + o) The --enable-openssl, --enable-gnutls switches, and their disabling counterparts
4 +   --disable-openssl and --disable-gnutls, have been replaced with the --with-tls switch
5 +   which takes one of the following options: 'openssl', 'wolfssl', 'gnutls', and 'none'.
6 +   If nothing has been specified, configure tries to autodetect in the following order:
7 +   openssl/libressl -> gnutls -> wolfssl.
8 + o) Fixed segfault with GnuTLS/libgmp in case there's no DH parameters file
9 +   defined in 'serverinfo::ssl_dh_param_file' or if that file is missing
10 + o) The connection timeout for connect{} blocks can now be configured via
11 +   the 'connect::timeout' configuration directive
12 + o) Minimum supported OpenSSL version is 1.1.1 now
13 + o) Minimum supported GnuTLS version is 3.6.5 now
14 + o) Supported TLSv1.3 cipher suites can now be configured explicitely via the
15 +   new 'serverinfo::tls_cipher_suites' configuration directive
16 + o) In the serverinfo {} block, the following configuration directives have been renamed:
17 +     ssl_certificate_file -> tls_certificate_file
18 +     ssl_dh_param_file -> tls_dh_param_file
19 +     ssl_dh_elliptic_curve -> tls_supported_groups
20 +     ssl_cipher_list -> tls_cipher_list
21 +     ssl_message_digest_algorithm -> tls_message_digest_algorithm
22 + o) In the operator {} block, the following configuration directives have been renamed:
23 +     ssl_certificate_fingerprint -> tls_certificate_fingerprint
24 +     ssl_connection_required -> tls_connection_required
25 + o) In the connect {} block, the following configuration directives have been renamed:
26 +     ssl_cipher_list -> tls_cipher_list
27 +     ssl_certificate_fingerprint -> tls_certificate_fingerprint
28 +
29 +
30 + -- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.26 (2019-05-31)
31 + o) The 'general::tkline_expire_notices' configuration directive has been
32 +   replaced with user mode 'X'. *LINE expiration notices are sent to IRC
33 +   operators with that mode set
34 + o) Fixed issue with '/rehash conf' creating duplicated class entries
35 +   instead of updating existing ones that are already in use
36 + o) For a full list of all changes in this release, see https://git.io/fjEbq
37 +
38 +
39 + -- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.25 (2019-04-24)
40 + o) The 'class::number_per_ip', 'class::max_local' and 'class::max_global'
41 +   configuration directives have been replaced with just 'class::number_per_ip_local'
42 +   and 'class::number_per_ip_global'. The 'class::max_local' basically was
43 +   redundant as it had the same functionality as 'class::number_per_ip'
44 + o) Adding RESVs with wildcards no longer requires administrator privileges
45 + o) The 'general::ignore_bogus_ts' configuration option has been deprecated
46 + o) TLSv1.1 and TLSv1.0 are no longer supported and have been disabled in
47 +   the openssl and gnutls module
48 + o) Minimum supported OpenSSL version is 1.0.1f now
49 + o) Minimum supported GnuTLS version is 3.5.8 now
50 + o) The 'serverinfo::vhost' and 'serverinfo:vhost6' configuration directives have
51 +   been deprecated. If you need to bind() a specific address you can specify one
52 +   in the connect {} block
53 + o) The 'connect::vhost' configuration directive has been renamed to 'connect::bind'
54 + o) For a full list of all changes in this release, see https://git.io/fjRVk

58 + o) Added "STATS s" to show configured pseudo {} blocks
59 + o) Implemented channel mode 'N' which prevents users from changing their
60 +   nick while in a channel with that mode set
61 + o) Services clients are now shown with 'is a Network Service' in "WHOIS"
62 + o) For a full list of all changes in this release, see https://git.io/fjRVt
63 +
64 +
65 + -- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.23 (2018-03-26)
66 + o) irc-operators are now able to see a user's resolved hostname in /whowas,
67 +   and /whois even if the user has a fakehost/vhost
68 + o) RPL_WELCOME now does use the rfc2812 style nick!user@host format
69 + o) Removed rudimentary libgeoip support
70 + o) Added --enable-efence switch to allow easy linking with the
71 +   electric fence memory debugger library
72 + o) "JOIN 0" is no longer supported

80 + o) Implemented channel mode 'L'. Channels with that mode set can make use of an
81 +   extended ban list size specified with the new 'channel::max_bans_large'
82 +   configuraton option. This mode can be set only by irc-operators or servers.
83 + o) Implemented channel mode 'u' which hides bmask (+b/+e/+I) lists and mode changes
84 +   to non-chanops everywhere
85 + o) Fixed an issue with "TRACE" where remote servers would reply with RPL_TRACEUSER
86 +   numerics containing UIDs
