18   -- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.31 (2020-05-03)
19 < o) macOS compatibility fixes
20 < o) Removed 'spoof_notice' from auth::flags. With vhosts now this notice doesn't make
21 <   much sense anymore
22 < o) Fixed issue where ban masks might become malformed if set by remote clients/servers
23 < o) Fixed issue with channel mode +c where high ascii characters can be erroneously
24 <   detected as control characters
25 < o) For a full list of all changes in this release, see https://git.io/JfsmV

28   -- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.30 (2020-03-01)
29 < o) "QUOTE HELP extban" didn't work because the extban help file hasn't been
30 <   installed properly during 'make install'
31 < o) Fixed broken libcrypto detection which caused the ircd not to work with
32 <   openssl under certain circumstances
33 < o) Extban $n of type 'acting' has been implemented. This extban prevents
34 <   matching users from changing their nick while in the channel. Users
35 <   with voice or above are not affected.
36 < o) Channel mode +N has been changed so channel members with +v can change
37 <   their nick name as well
38 < o) For a full list of all changes in this release, see https://git.io/JfOyF

248 < o) Minimum supported GnuTLS version is 3.3.8 now
249 < o) Minimum supported OpenSSL version is 1.0.1d now
250 < o) Added support for remote REHASH: REHASH <server> <option>
251 < o) Added 'rehash:remote' irc-operator privilege flag
252 < o) Added 'rehash' type to shared {} blocks

457 < o) INVITE without any parameters now shows a list of channels a client is invited to
458 < o) The OPERWALL command has been removed. Use GLOBOPS instead
459 < o) Added 'max_channels' to class {} blocks
460 < o) Added 'throttle_count' configuration option to the general {} block
461 < o) Added 'ssl_message_digest_algorithm' configuration option to serverinfo {} block.
462 <   See doc/reference.conf for more information.

871 < o) Implemented full services support, including but not limited to the

873 <   - Added SVSNICK, and SVSMODE command handlers
874 <   - Added service stamps to NICK/UID messages
875 <   - Added SVS to server capabilities (CAPAB). SVS capable servers can
876 <     deal with extended NICK/UID messages that contain service IDs/stamps.
877 <   - Changed rejected client notices to go to new usermode +j.  These
878 <     previously used usermode +r.
879 <   - Added usermode +r (registered nick) and channelmode +r (registered channel)
880 <   - Added usermode +R (only registered clients may send a private message)
881 <   - Added channelmode +R (only registered clients may join that channel)
882 <   - Various services shortcuts have been added (/NS, /CS, /NICKSERV, /CHANSERV, etc.)
883 <   - Added services {} block to ircd.conf
884 <   - Added services_name directive to general {} block
885 <   - Added GLOBOPS mainly for services compatibility, but can be used by operators, too
886 < o) Removed RKLINE and RXLINE commands. Regular expression based bans should
887 <   only be added via ircd.conf
888 < o) Added 'globops', 'restart', 'dline', 'undline' and 'module' operator
889 <   privilege flags. Read doc/reference.conf for further explanation of what

893 < o) Removed 'general::burst_away' configuration directive. AWAY bursts are now
894 <   controlled via 'connect::flags' explicitly
895 < o) Introduced new logging subsystem including log rotation based on
896 <   file sizes. Log timestamp format is ISO8601 now
897 < o) Added support for remote D-lines
898 < o) Added usermode +H which is basically a replacement for the hidden_admin and
899 <   hidden_oper operator flags. With usermode +H, irc operator status can now
900 <   be hidden even on remote servers
901 < o) Added CIDR support for operator {} blocks

903 <   SSL/TLS for inter-server communication.
904 <   NOTE: compressed server links are of course still available, but a SSL/TLS
905 <   connection is required, as compression is now handled via OpenSSL
906 < o) Removed 'ssl_server_protocol' configuration directive and
