-+
+-- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.37 (202?-??-??)
-+
+* Implemented IRCv3 `CAP 302`
-+
+* Implemented IRCv3 `cap-notify` capability
-+
+* Implemented IRCv3.2 `echo-message` capability
-+
-+
-+
+-- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.36 (2020-12-04)
-+
+* The old WATCH implementation has been replaced with IRCv3.2 MONITOR. For this,
-+
+  the `general::max_watch` configuration directive has been renamed to
-+
+  `general::max_monitor`.
-+
+* User mode `B` has been implemented. Clients with that mode set are marked as a
-+
+  bot in both `WHOIS` and `WHO`. This mode can only be set by IRC operators (as
-+
+  long as the `bot` directive is set in `general::oper_only_umodes`), servers,
-+
+  and services.
-+
+  This mode can for example be used to mark HOPM as official network bot.

-+
+* Re-implement backwards compatibility mode for old ircd-hybrid 8.2.23 and below.
-+
+  Final removal is scheduled for early 2021.
-+
+* For consistency, the `general::network_desc` configuration directive has been
-+
+  renamed to `general::network_description`
-+
+* Server notices that previously have been sent to user modes +f and +u are now
-+
+  sent to user mode +j (reject notices) instead. Due to this change, `unauth` and
-+
+  `full` have been removed from `general::oper_only_umodes`, `general::oper_umodes`,
-+
+  and `operator::umodes`.
-+
+* User mode +b (bots) has been replaced with +f (flood). Spam/flood notices are now
-+
+  sent to this user mode. For this, `bots` has been removed from
-+
+  `general::oper_only_umodes`, `general::oper_umodes`, and `operator::umodes`.
-+
+  `flood` has been added instead to these configuration directives.
-+
+* Stricten server/user ID validation. IDs have to be all uppercase everywhere now.

+* Fixed segfault with GnuTLS/libgmp in case there's no DH parameters file
