+-- charybdis-3.1.0
+
+- Remove TS5 support. No TS5 servers are permitted in a network with
+ charybdis 3.1.0 or newer, except jupes.
+- Replace oper flags by privilege sets (privsets).
+- Update libratbox and ssld from upstream and use it better.
+- Add auth_user to auth{}. This allows specifying a username:password instead
+ of just a password in PASS, so that a fixed user@host is not necessary
+ for a specific auth{} block.
+- Add need_ssl to auth{} and operator{}. This makes these blocks reject
+ the user if not connected via SSL.
+- Allow modules to provide simple channel modes without parameter.
+- Remove restrictions on CNAME in the resolver.
+- Make the resolver remember nonresponsive nameservers.
+- Move nick collision notices from +s to +k.
+- Add additional information to various server notices about server
+ connections.
+- Also apply floodcount to messages to remote clients (except services).
+- Remove user@server messages to local users. Sending such messages to
+ remote servers is still possible, for securely messaging pseudoservers
+ whether service{}'ed or not. The special oper-only syntax opers@server
+ remains as well.
+- Allow /list on a named +p channel. A full /list already included +p channels.
+- Add operspy /topic.
+- Make PRIVMSG/NOTICE behave as CPRIVMSG/CNOTICE automatically if possible.
+- Allow +z messages from outside if a channel is -n.
+- Allow coloured part reasons in -c channels.
+- Add ircu-like WHOX support. This allows requesting specific information
+ in /who and allows obtaining services login name for all users in a
+ channel. XChat/Conspire use WHOX to update away status more efficiently.
+- Rework ip_cloaking.
+- Add the IP address to userlog, as in ircd-ratbox 3.0.
+- Split cidr_bitlen into cidr_ipv4_bitlen and cidr_ipv6_bitlen.
+- Document some extensions in charybdis-oper-guide.
+- Various new extensions.
+- Various code cleanups.
+
+-- charybdis-3.0.4
+
+- Fix a crash on certain recent versions of Ubuntu.
+- Allow 127.x.y.z for DNSBL replies instead of just 127.0.0.x.
+- Various documentation improvements.
+
+-- charybdis-3.0.3
+
+- Fix IPv6 D:lines
+- Fix rejectcache and unknown_count.
+- Fix genssl.sh.
+- Fix ident for SSL/TLS connections.
+- Fix SSL/TLS bugs for servers with more than about 100 connections.
+- Small bugfixes.
+
+-- charybdis-3.0.2
+
+- Improve OLIST extension error messages.
+- Improve some kline error checking.
+- Avoid timing out clients if we are still waiting for a DNSBL lookup.
+- Fix resolver hangs with epoll.
+- Fix compilation without zlib.
+
+-- charybdis-3.0.1
+
+- Fix occasional hung clients with kqueue.
+- Fix a rare ssld crash.
+- Fix a bug that could cause incorrect connect failure reasons to be
+ reported.
+- Make the IRCd work on MacOS X again.
+
+-- charybdis-3.0.0
+
+- Port the IRCd to libratbox, which has improved our portability and allows
+ us to reuse low-level code instead of maintaining our own.
+- Change configuration of maximum number of clients to ircd-ratbox 3 way.
+- Add adminwall from ircd-ratbox, as an extension.
+- Add client and server-to-server SSL, read example.conf for setup.
+- Replace servlink with ssld (also for ziplinks).
+- A new extban, $z, has been added for ssl users (extensions/extb_ssl.so).
+- A new compatibility channel mode, +R, has been added, it sets
+ +q/-q $~a (extensions/chm_operonly_compat.so). This is similar to
+ the +R seen in ircd-seven.
+- A new compatibility channel mode, +S, has been added, it sets
+ +b/-b $~z (extensions/chm_sslonly_compat.so).
+- A new compatibility channel mode, +O, has been added, it sets
+ +iI/-iI $o (extensions/chm_operonly_compat.so).
+- Add remote D:lines. Note that these are not enabled by default.
+- Remove EFnet-style G:lines. Noone appears to use these.
+- Remove idle time checking (auto disconnecting users idle too long).
+- Display a notice to clients when the IRCd is shut down using SIGTERM.
+- Some error messages have been clarified to enhance usability.
+- Close the link to servers that send invalid nicks (e.g. nicklen mismatches).
+ Formerly the users were killed from the network.
+- Enable topicburst by default in connect{}.
+- Fix a potential desync which can happen with oper override.
+- Remove "deopped" flag (TS5 legacy).
+- Use 127.0.0.1 as nameserver if none can be found in /etc/resolv.conf.
+- Only accept 127.0.0.x as a dnsbl listing.
+- Change cloaking module (same as 2.2.1, different from 2.2.0).
+- Make some more server notices about failed remote connect attempts
+ network wide.
+- Make some server notices about flooders and TS delta network wide.
+- Remove redundant "<server> had been connected for <time>" server notice.
+- Add resv oper privilege to control /resv, /unresv and cmode +L and +P,
+ enabled by default.
+- Add mass_notice oper privilege to control global notices and /wallops,
+ enabled by default.
+- Rework unkline/undline/unxline/unresv so they show the exact item removed
+ and do not rehash bans.
+- Show opers a list of recently (<24hrs) split servers in /map.
+- Add /privs command, shows effective privileges of a client.
+
+-- charybdis-2.2.0
+
+- The I/O code has been reworked, file descriptor metadata is stored in a
+ hashtable and the maximum number of clients can now be set in ircd.conf.
+- Improve error checking and error messages for kline/dline/xline/resv files.
+- Allow kline ipv6:address, unkline some.host and unkline ipv6:address
+ without *@.
+- Add accountability (wallops, log) to OKICK extension.
+- Add opernick to OPME/OMODE/OJOIN log messages.
+- Add use_forward option, allows disabling cmode +fFQ and umode +Q.
+- Add keyword substitution to DNSBL reasons, making it possible to show
+ things like the user's IP address in the reason.
+- Use sendto_one_notice() more.
+- Server notices about kills now include the victim's nick!user@host instead
+ of just nick.
+- Include real hostname in Closing Link message for unknown connections
+ that have sent USER, in particular banned users.
+- Add some documentation about the SASL client protocol.
+- Change spambot, flooder and jupe joiner notices from host to orighost.
+- Remove the last remains of server hostmasking (this made it possible to
+ have multiple servers with similar names appear as a single server).
+- Keep bitmasks of modularized umodes reserved forever to the letter,
+ avoiding problems when reloading umode modules in a different order.
+- Fix -logfile.
+- Update to the new revision (v8) of the TS6 spec, this fixes problems with
+ joins reversing certain mode changes crossing them. This interoperates
+ with older versions.
+- Put "End of Channel Quiet List" at the end of +q lists.
+- Fix invisible count getting desynched from reality if the act of opering
+ up sets -i or +i.
+- Don't leak auth{} spoofed IP addresses in +f notices.
+- Shorten quit/part/kick reasons to avoid quit reasons overflowing the
+ client exiting server notice (from TOPICLEN to 260).
+- Fix some cases where 10 char usernames lose their final character.
+- Move username check after xline and dnsbl checks, so it will not complain
+ to opers about clients who are xlined or blacklisted anyway (both of
+ which silently reject).
+- Remove invite_ops_only config option, forcing it to YES.
+- Allow /invite (but not invex) to override +r, +l, +j in addition to +i.
+- Add several new extensions, such as createoperonly.
+- Merge whois notice extensions into one and move it from snomask +y to +W.
+
