#	Line 1 | Line 1
1	+	-- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.36 (2020-12-04)
2	+	* The old WATCH implementation has been replaced with IRCv3.2 MONITOR. For this,
3	+	the `general::max_watch` configuration directive has been renamed to
4	+	`general::max_monitor`.
5	+	* User mode `B` has been implemented. Clients with that mode set are marked as a
6	+	bot in both `WHOIS` and `WHO`. This mode can only be set by IRC operators (as
7	+	long as the `bot` directive is set in `general::oper_only_umodes`), servers,
8	+	and services.
9	+	This mode can for example be used to mark HOPM as official network bot.
10	+	* For a full list of all changes in this release, see <https://git.io/JI3fG>

12	+
13	+	-- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.35 (2020-11-14)
14	+	* Fixed issue where servers could propagate truncated ban masks during net-join
15	+	* For a full list of all changes in this release, see <https://git.io/JIUa6>
16	+
17	+
18	+	-- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.34 (2020-11-01)
19	+	* Re-implement backwards compatibility mode for old ircd-hybrid 8.2.23 and below.
20	+	Final removal is scheduled for early 2021.
21	+	* For consistency, the `general::network_desc` configuration directive has been
22	+	renamed to `general::network_description`
23	+	* Server notices that previously have been sent to user modes +f and +u are now
24	+	sent to user mode +j (reject notices) instead. Due to this change, `unauth` and
25	+	`full` have been removed from `general::oper_only_umodes`, `general::oper_umodes`,
26	+	and `operator::umodes`.
27	+	* User mode +b (bots) has been replaced with +f (flood). Spam/flood notices are now
28	+	sent to this user mode. For this, `bots` has been removed from
29	+	`general::oper_only_umodes`, `general::oper_umodes`, and `operator::umodes`.
30	+	`flood` has been added instead to these configuration directives.
31	+	* Stricten server/user ID validation. IDs have to be all uppercase everywhere now.
32	+	* For a full list of all changes in this release, see <https://git.io/JkeID>
