#	Line 1 | Line 1
1	+	-- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.38 (2021-??-??)
2	+	* Backwards compatibility mode for ircd-hybrid 8.2.22 and below has been removed
3	+	* Minimum supported version of the Anope IRC services is now 2.0.8
4	+	* Fixed displaying issue with channel MODE messages
5	+	* Characters valid for user names for local clients are now [A-Za-z0-9._-]. 'Special'
6	+	characters like }|{`^]\[$, that were allowed previously, are no longer valid.
7	+	Also user names may not begin with '.', '_', or '-'.
8	+	* The `general::dots_in_ident` configuration directive has been renamed to
9	+	`general::specials_in_ident` and now covers the '-' and '_' characters in
10	+	addition to '.'
11	+	* Fixed issue with clients connected from IPv6 localhost that, depending on the
12	+	system's getaddrinfo() implementation, could lead to a crash of remote servers
13	+
14	+
15	+	-- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.37 (2020-12-26)
16	+	* Implemented IRCv3 `CAP 302`
17	+	* Implemented IRCv3 `cap-notify` capability
18	+	* In case a client sends multiple `PASS` messages, ircd only accepts the password
19	+	sent in the first `PASS` message instead of the last one
20	+	* Missing help file for `MONITOR` has been added
21	+	* Fixed slightly off memory count for motds in `STATS z`
22	+	* For a full list of all changes in this release, see <https://git.io/JLMnk>
23	+
24	+
25	+	-- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.36 (2020-12-04)
26	+	* The old WATCH implementation has been replaced with IRCv3.2 MONITOR. For this,
27	+	the `general::max_watch` configuration directive has been renamed to
28	+	`general::max_monitor`.
29	+	* User mode `B` has been implemented. Clients with that mode set are marked as a
30	+	bot in both `WHOIS` and `WHO`. This mode can only be set by IRC operators (as
31	+	long as the `bot` directive is set in `general::oper_only_umodes`), servers,
32	+	and services.
33	+	This mode can for example be used to mark HOPM as official network bot.
34	+	* For a full list of all changes in this release, see <https://git.io/JLMnJ>
35	+
36	+
37	+	-- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.35 (2020-11-14)
38	+	* Fixed issue where servers could propagate truncated ban masks during net-join
39	+	* For a full list of all changes in this release, see <https://git.io/JIUa6>
40	+
41	+
42	+	-- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.34 (2020-11-01)
43	+	* Re-implement backwards compatibility mode for old ircd-hybrid 8.2.23 and below.
44	+	Final removal is scheduled for early 2021.
45	+	* For consistency, the `general::network_desc` configuration directive has been
46	+	renamed to `general::network_description`
47	+	* Server notices that previously have been sent to user modes +f and +u are now
48	+	sent to user mode +j (reject notices) instead. Due to this change, `unauth` and
49	+	`full` have been removed from `general::oper_only_umodes`, `general::oper_umodes`,
50	+	and `operator::umodes`.
51	+	* User mode +b (bots) has been replaced with +f (flood). Spam/flood notices are now
52	+	sent to this user mode. For this, `bots` has been removed from
53	+	`general::oper_only_umodes`, `general::oper_umodes`, and `operator::umodes`.
54	+	`flood` has been added instead to these configuration directives.
55	+	* Stricten server/user ID validation. IDs have to be all uppercase everywhere now.
56	+	* For a full list of all changes in this release, see <https://git.io/JkeID>
