1 > -- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.34 (2020-??-??)
2 > * For consistency, the `general::network_desc` configuration directive has been
3 >  renamed to `general::network_description`
4 > * Server notices that previously have been sent to user modes +f and +u are now
5 >  sent to user mode +j (reject notices) instead. Due to this change, `unauth` and
6 >  `full` have been removed from `general::oper_only_umodes`, `general::oper_umodes`,
7 >  and `operator::umodes`.
8 > * User mode +b has been replaced with +f (flood). Spam/flood notices are now sent
9 >  to this user mode. For this, `bots` has been removed from
10 >  `general::oper_only_umodes`, `general::oper_umodes`, and `operator::umodes`.
11 >  `flood` has been added instead to these configuration directives.

14 > -- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.33 (2020-09-07)
15 > * Added `client` option to `listener::flags`
16 > * Added `defer` option to `listener::flags`
17 > * IRC operators may now use CIDR notation in `WHO`
18 > * For a full list of all changes in this release, see <https://git.io/JTftW>

20 >
21 > -- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.32 (2020-08-16)
22 > * `RESV` couldn't be issued in case no reason has been supplied. This has been fixed.
23 > * Fixed possible `RPL_WHOISCHANNELS` line truncation of remote replies
24 > * Extban $t of type `matching` has been implemented. This extban allows matching
25 >  based on TLS protocol version and/or cipher suite
26 > * Implemented channel mode `K`. `KNOCK` cannot be used on channels with that mode set
27 > * `STATS ?` is now oper-only
28 > * For a full list of all changes in this release, see <https://git.io/JUZa1>
29 >
30 >
31 > -- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.31 (2020-05-03)
32 > * macOS compatibility fixes
33 > * Removed `spoof_notice` from `auth::flags`. With vhosts now this notice doesn't make
34 >  much sense anymore
35 > * Fixed issue where ban masks might become malformed if set by remote clients/servers
36 > * Fixed issue with channel mode +c where high ascii characters can be erroneously
37 >  detected as control characters
38 > * For a full list of all changes in this release, see <https://git.io/JUZa6>
39 >
40 >
41 > -- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.30 (2020-03-01)
42 > * `QUOTE HELP extban` didn't work because the extban help file hasn't been
43 >  installed properly during `make install`
44 > * Fixed broken libcrypto detection which caused the ircd not to work with
45 >  OpenSSL under certain circumstances
46 > * Extban $n of type `acting` has been implemented. This extban prevents
47 >  matching users from changing their nick while in the channel. Users
48 >  with voice or above are not affected.
49 > * Channel mode +N has been changed so channel members with +v can change
50 >  their nick name as well
51 > * For a full list of all changes in this release, see <https://git.io/JfOyF>
52 >
53 >
54 > -- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.29 (2020-02-19)
55 > * Extbans have been implemented. Currently supported extbans:
56 >
57 >  Matching:
58 >
59 >  * `$a:<account>`   Matches users logged into a matching account.
60 >  * `$c:<channel>`   Matches users that are on the given channel. An additional
61 >                     prefix of either @, %, or + can be specified to test for
62 >                     certain channel privileges.
63 >  * `$o:<class>`     Matches IRC operators that have joined a class
64 >                     matching the mask.
65 >  * `$r:<realname>`  Matches users with a matching realname.
66 >  * `$s:<server>`    Matches users that are connected to a server matching the mask.
67 >  * `$u:<modes>`     Matches users having the specified user modes set or not set.
68 >  * `$z:<certfp>`    Matches users having the given TLS certificate fingerprint.
69 >
70 >  Acting:
71 >
72 >  * `$j:<banmask>`   Prevents matching users from joining the channel.
73 >  * `$m:<banmask>`   Blocks messages from matching users. Users with voice
74 >                     or above are not affected.
75 >
76 >  For more details, see `help/extban`.
77 > * Added `channel::enable_extbans` configuration option. See `doc/reference.conf`
78 >  for more information.
79 > * For a full list of all changes in this release, see <https://git.io/JvgAL>
80 >
81 >
82 > -- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.28 (2020-01-26)
83 > * Fixed issue with topics set by `TBURST` not being propagated properly to clients
84 > * Allow IRC operators to search for real hosts in `WHO`
85 > * Ban/exempt/invex masks are now also tested against realhosts to prevent clients
86 >  from bypassing channel bans by activating a fakehost
87 > * For a full list of all changes in this release, see <https://git.io/Jv37M>
88 >
89 >
90 > -- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.27 (2020-01-22)
91 > * Experimental support for wolfSSL has been implemented. Minimum supported version is 4.3.0
92 > * The `--enable-openssl`, `--enable-gnutls` switches, and their disabling counterparts
93 >  `--disable-openssl` and `--disable-gnutls`, have been replaced with the `--with-tls`
94 >  switch which takes one of the following options: `openssl`, `wolfssl`, `gnutls`,
95 >  and `none`.
96 >  If nothing has been specified, configure tries to autodetect in the following order:
97 >  OpenSSL/LibreSSL -> GnuTLS -> wolfSSL.
98 > * Fixed segfault with GnuTLS/libgmp in case there's no DH parameters file
99 >  defined in `serverinfo::ssl_dh_param_file` or if that file is missing
100 > * The connection timeout for connect{} blocks can now be configured via
101 >  the `connect::timeout` configuration directive

104 > * Supported TLSv1.3 cipher suites can now be configured explicitely via the
105 >  new `serverinfo::tls_cipher_suites` configuration directive
106 > * In the serverinfo {} block, the following configuration directives have been renamed:
107 >    `ssl_certificate_file` -> `tls_certificate_file`
108 >    `ssl_dh_param_file` -> `tls_dh_param_file`
109 >    `ssl_dh_elliptic_curve` -> `tls_supported_groups`

131 > * The `class::number_per_ip`, `class::max_local` and `class::max_global`
132 >  configuration directives have been replaced with just `class::number_per_ip_local`
133 >  and `class::number_per_ip_global`. The `class::max_local` basically was
134 >  redundant as it had the same functionality as `class::number_per_ip`
135 > * Adding RESVs with wildcards no longer requires administrator privileges
136 > * The `general::ignore_bogus_ts` configuration option has been deprecated
137 > * TLSv1.1 and TLSv1.0 are no longer supported and have been disabled in

151 >  nick while in a channel with that mode set
152 > * Services clients are now shown with `is a Network Service` in `WHOIS`
153 > * For a full list of all changes in this release, see <https://git.io/fjRVt>
154 >

167 > * For a full list of all changes in this release, see <https://git.io/fjRVq>
168 >
169 >
170 > -- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.22 (2017-03-26)
171 > * Implemented channel mode `L`. Channels with that mode set can make use of an
172 >  extended ban list size specified with the new `channel::max_bans_large`
173 >  configuraton option. This mode can be set only by IRC operators or servers.
174 > * Implemented channel mode `u` which hides bmask (+b/+e/+I) lists and mode changes
175 >  to non-chanops everywhere
176 > * Fixed an issue with `TRACE` where remote servers would reply with `RPL_TRACEUSER`
177 >  numerics containing UIDs
178 > * `STATS z` now shows simple memory stats of servers linked to the network
179 > * Added support for remote `ETRACE`
180 > * For a full list of all changes in this release, see <https://git.io/fjRVO>

197 >  the `channel::invite_expire_time` configuration directive
198 > * `WHOIS` notices to IRC operators have been re-added. User mode +y is required
199 >  to see them
200 > * The maximum line length for motd files has been increased to 320 bytes to
201 >  support multibyte encodings better
202 > * For a full list of all changes in this release, see <https://git.io/fjRVZ>

254 > * For a full list of all changes in this release, see <https://git.io/fjR9f>
255 >
256 >
257 > -- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.13 (2016-02-02)
258 > * Implemented support for GnuTLS. Currently ./configure's autodetection
259 >  intentionally prefers OpenSSL over GnuTLS, so OpenSSL detection needs
260 >  to be disabled explicitely by using the `--disable-openssl` switch.

268 >
269 >
270 > -- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.12 (2016-01-05)
271 > * **IMPORTANT:** Character case mapping is `ascii` now. It is recommended
272 >  to update all servers on the network to prevent possible channel
273 >  desynchronizations and nick name collision kills
274 > * Added channel mode `T` which forbids `NOTICE` to be sent to a channel
275 > * Fixed minor `SVSTAG` memory leak
276 > * Fixed broken `PART` message blocking mechanism
277 > * ircd now makes use of up to 8 name servers that are specified in
278 >  `/etc/resolv.conf`

296 >  to `serverhide::flatten_links_delay`
297 > * Added `serverhide::flatten_links_file` configuration option
298 > * Fixed bug where changing `serverhide::flatten_links_delay` on runtime
299 >  would not have any effect
300 > * mkpasswd (tools): fixed broken bcrypt support on *BSD in conjunction with
301 >  the `-s` and `-l` switches. Dropped MD5, DES and Extended DES support.
302 > * Removed `CHALLENGE` in favor of ssl certificate fingerprint enabled
303 >  operator {} blocks
304 > * RSA keys with less than 2048 bits are no longer supported; same applies
305 >  to the DH param file
306 > * Added missing IRC operator privilege flags to `STATS o`. For a full list
307 >  of flags see `doc/reference.conf`
308 > * For a full list of all changes in this release, see <https://git.io/JvLqJ>
309 >
310 >
311 > -- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.9 (2015-09-13)
312 > * **IMPORTANT:** database files and links.txt are now stored in `/var/lib`
313 >  instead of `/etc`, so make sure to move your k/d/x-line database files
314 >  to the new path before (re)starting the ircd
315 > * **IMPORTANT:** the splitmode logic has been removed along with the
316 >  following channel {} block configuration directives:
317 >  `default_split_user_count`, `default_split_server_count`,
318 >  `no_create_on_split`, `no_join_on_split`
319 > * Added `xline_exempt` to auth {} block flags
320 > * `serverinfo::sid` is now optional. A unique SID is now automatically
321 >  generated based on the server's name and description
322 > * Various fixes to the mkpasswd tool
323 > * If supported by the compiler, ircd-hybrid now compiles with
324 >  `-fstack-protector-strong` instead of `-fstack-protector`
325 > * Services can now add RESVs (SQLINEs) that have wildcards in it
326 > * Channel name RESVs are now sanity checked for too broad masks
327 > * `class::connectfreq` now works properly with values lower than 300 seconds
328 > * Implemented IRCv3.1 `account-notify` extension
329 > * The `general::oper_pass_resv` configuration directive has been deprecated
330 >  in favor of the new `join:resv`, and `nick:resv` IRC operator flags.
331 >  See `doc/reference.conf` for more information.
332 > * Added `resv`, and `unresv` IRC operator flags. Previously, all
333 >  IRC operators were allowed to `RESV` and `UNRESV`, regardless of configured
334 >  privileges.
335 > * Added `close` to IRC operator flags
336 > * ircd is using ISO 8601 date and time notation in most places now

338 >
339 >
340 > -- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.8 (2015-05-10)
341 > * ircd now rejects remote k-line requests for user@host mask that don't
342 >  have at least `general::min_nonwildcard` non-wildcard characters in it
343 > * Configuration related server notices are now sent to admins only as
344 >  they potentially could leak passwords and other sensitive data to irc
345 >  operators that don't have administrator privileges
346 > * The `GLINE`/`GUNGLINE` commands have been removed. `KLINE` in conjunction
347 >  with cluster {} and/or shared {} blocks is now the recommended
348 >  way to add global user@host mask based server bans
349 > * Added `dline_min_cidr`, `dline_min_cidr6`, `kline_min_cidr`, and
350 > `kline_min_cidr6` configuration options to the general {} block
351 > * Fixed bug where a `REHASH` would clear all X-Lines and RESVs that have
352 >  been set with the `XLINE`/`RESV commands`
353 > * Fixed broken temporary remote XLINEs
354 > * The `general::havent_read_conf` configuration directive has been removed

880 >  - Added `SVSNICK`, and `SVSMODE` command handlers
881 >  - Added service stamps to `NICK`/`UID` messages
882 >  - Added SVS to server capabilities (`CAPAB`). SVS capable servers can
883 >    deal with extended `NICK`/`UID` messages that contain service IDs/stamps.
884 >  - Changed rejected client notices to go to new usermode +j. These
885 >    previously used usermode +r.
886 >  - Added usermode +r (registered nick) and channelmode +r (registered channel)
887 >  - Added usermode +R (only registered clients may send a private message)
888 >  - Added channelmode +R (only registered clients may join that channel)
889 >  - Various services shortcuts have been added (`NS`, `CS`, `NICKSERV`, `CHANSERV`, etc.)
890 >  - Added services {} block to `ircd.conf`
891 >  - Added services_name directive to general {} block
892 >  - Added `GLOBOPS` mainly for services compatibility, but can be used by operators, too
893 > * Removed `RKLINE` and `RXLINE` commands. Regular expression based bans should
894 >  only be added via `ircd.conf`
895 > * Added `globops`, `restart`, `dline`, `undline` and `module` operator privilege flags.
896 >  Read `doc/reference.conf` for further explanation of what these flags control
897 > * Removed Idle-time klines
898 > * Cleaned up modules API. Old modules won't work anymore
899 > * Removed `general::burst_away` configuration directive. AWAY bursts are now
900 >  controlled via `connect::flags` explicitly
901 > * Introduced new logging subsystem including log rotation based on
902 >  file sizes. Log timestamp format is ISO8601 now
903 > * Added support for remote D-lines
904 > * Added usermode +H which is basically a replacement for the hidden_admin and
905 >  `hidden_oper` operator flags. With usermode +H, irc operator status can now
906 >  be hidden even on remote servers
907 > * Added CIDR support for operator {} blocks
908 > * Removed the servlink program. ircd-hybrid can now make use of
909 >  SSL/TLS for inter-server communication.
910 >  NOTE: compressed server links are of course still available, but a SSL/TLS
911 >  connection is required, as compression is now handled via OpenSSL
912 > * Removed `ssl_server_protocol` configuration directive and
913 >  added `ssl_client_method` and `ssl_server_method` instead.
914 >  Both of these options can now be changed at runtime
915 > * Oper login IDs are no longer limited to NICKLEN*2
916 > * Removed `channel::burst_topicwho` configuration option. This feature is now
917 >  enabled by default
918 > * `STATS Y|y` now reports CIDR limits as well
919 > * Added m_webirc.c to contrib/
920 > * Overall code cleanup and speed improvements
