-
-
-#### Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.31 (2020-05-03)
-* macOS compatibility fixes

- detected as control characters
-
-

- installed properly during `make install`
-* Fixed broken libcrypto detection which caused the ircd not to work with
- OpenSSL under certain circumstances
-* Extban `$n` of type acting has been implemented. This extban prevents
- matching users from changing their nick while in the channel. Users

-* Channel mode `N` has been changed so channel members with `v` (voice) can
- change their nick name as well
-
-
-#### Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.29 (2020-02-19)
-* Extbans have been implemented. Currently supported extbans:
-
- Matching:
-
- * `$a:<account>` Matches users logged into a matching account.
- * `$c:<channel>` Matches users that are on the given channel. An additional
- prefix of either `@`, `%`, or `+` can be specified to test
- for certain channel privileges.
- * `$o:<class>` Matches IRC operators that have joined a class
- matching the mask.
- * `$r:<realname>` Matches users with a matching realname.
- * `$s:<server>` Matches users that are connected to a server matching the mask.
- * `$u:<modes>` Matches users having the specified user modes set or not set.
- * `$z:<certfp>` Matches users having the given TLS certificate fingerprint.
-
- Acting:
-
- * `$j:<banmask>` Prevents matching users from joining the channel.
- * `$m:<banmask>` Blocks messages from matching users. Users with voice
- or above are not affected.
-
- For more details, see `help/extban`.
-* Added `channel::enable_extbans` configuration option. See `doc/reference.conf`
- for more information.

-* Experimental support for wolfSSL has been implemented. Minimum supported version is 4.3.0
-* The `--enable-openssl`, `--enable-gnutls` switches, and their disabling counterparts
- `--disable-openssl` and `--disable-gnutls`, have been replaced with the `--with-tls`
- switch which takes one of the following options: `openssl`, `wolfssl`, `gnutls`,
- and `none`.
- If nothing has been specified, configure tries to autodetect in the following order:
- OpenSSL/LibreSSL -> GnuTLS -> wolfSSL.
-* Fixed segfault with GnuTLS/libgmp in case there's no DH parameters file
- defined in `serverinfo::ssl_dh_param_file` or if that file is missing
-* The connection timeout for connect {} blocks can now be configured via
- the `connect::timeout` configuration directive
-* Minimum supported OpenSSL version is 1.1.1 now
-* Minimum supported GnuTLS version is 3.6.5 now
-* Supported TLSv1.3 cipher suites can now be configured explicitely via the
- new `serverinfo::tls_cipher_suites` configuration directive
-* In the serverinfo {} block, the following configuration directives have been renamed:
- `ssl_certificate_file` -> `tls_certificate_file`
- `ssl_dh_param_file` -> `tls_dh_param_file`
- `ssl_dh_elliptic_curve` -> `tls_supported_groups`
- `ssl_cipher_list` -> `tls_cipher_list`
- `ssl_message_digest_algorithm` -> `tls_message_digest_algorithm`

-
-
-#### Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.26 (2019-05-31)

- instead of updating existing ones that are already in use
-
-
-#### Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.25 (2019-04-24)
-* The `class::number_per_ip`, `class::max_local` and `class::max_global`
- configuration directives have been replaced with just `class::number_per_ip_local`
- and `class::number_per_ip_global`. The `class::max_local` basically was
- redundant as it had the same functionality as `class::number_per_ip`
-* Adding RESVs with wildcards no longer requires administrator privileges

-
-
-#### Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.22 (2017-03-26)

-
-
-#### Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.13 (2016-02-02)

- channel {} block configuration directives:
- `default_split_user_count`, `default_split_server_count`,
- `no_create_on_split`, `no_join_on_split`
-* Added `xline_exempt` to auth {} block flags
-* `serverinfo::sid` is now optional. A unique SID is now automatically

-
-
