+
+new modes
+- channelmode 'N' has been moved to 'd' to allow for m_roleplay and
+ specifically, compatibility with the charybdis m_roleplay.
+
+new modules
+- m_roleplay: New extension allowing many roleplay commands. Individual
+ channels can disable this by setting channelmode +N on their channels.
+
+configuration
+- use auth::auth_user for SASL. It is no longer usable in PASS (though its
+ use-case there is non-existant), but you can now set so if a user
+ successfully authenticates to the accountname in auth_user with SASL,
+ they will get the proper auth block privs. You can have multiple auth_users
+ in one auth block.
+- you can now specify a SSL fingerprint that the remote server must have in
+ order to link.
+
+opers
+- wallops are now sent upon setting or unsetting of +M or any other hidden
+ channelmode.
+- /LIST now has operspy support. You can see all channels (including secret
+ channels) with /LIST ! or /LIST !#target. OLIST still exists and can be
+ used as well. OLIST will also show channelmodes whereas LIST will not.
+
+users
+- /LIST can now be constrained by topic TS and channel TS.
+
+code
+- native support for SHA256, SHA512 and Blowfish added everywhere.
+- many small improvements and bugfixes.
+
+
+-- shadowircd-6.2.0
+
+configuration
+- add channel::hide_channel_below_users - Channels with a user count lower
+ than the valude of this option will not be shown by default in /LIST.
+- add channel::admin_on_channel_create - If enabled, gives users creating
+ new channels +ao in that channel instead of just +o.
+- add channel::disabledmodes - This allows opers to disallow users from
+ using certain channelmodes. This is only read on startup and your services
+ and remote servers must be configured the same otherwise desyncs will occur.
+- add many services aliases for new Atheme services.
+opers
+- when users get hit by a DNSBL, this is now shown in the snotes.
+other
+- change kicknorejoin to not be a config option and be hardcoded to 2 seconds
+ because a longer time is kind of pointless.
+- Many new features and improvements from charybdis 3.3.0. See below for
+ information about all that.
+code
+- many bugfixes and various cleanups.
+
+-- charybdis-3.3.0
+
+server protocol
+- Add new BAN command, for propagated network-wide bans (K/X:lines and RESVs).
+ These will burst to new servers as they are introduced, and will stay in sync
+ across the whole network (new BAN capab).
+- Add new MLOCK command, to implement ircd-side channel mode locks. This allows
+ services to send out a list of mode letters for a given channel which may not
+ be changed, preventing mode fights between services and client bots (new MLOCK
+ capab).
+user
+- New RPL_QUIETLIST(728) and RPL_ENDOFQUIETLIST(729) numerics are used for the
+ quiet (+q) list, instead of overloading the ban list numerics.
+- Users may no longer change the topic of a -t channel if they cannot send to
+ it.
+- Add help for EXTBAN, describing the syntax of extended bans in general, as
+ well as the most common types.
+- Changed AWAY messages are now propagated to other servers. Previously, AWAY
+ was only propagated when the user was not already away.
+- Channel mode +c (and other places that disallow colour codes) now also strip
+ ASCII 29 (mIRC 7 italics).
+- Add auto-accept for user mode +g (callerid): Messaging a user while set +g
+ will automatically add them to your accept list.
+- Add target change for channels. It applies to unopped, unvoiced and unopered
+ users. This has the effect of stopping spambots which join, message and part
+ many channels at a time.
+- Show RPL_WHOISLOGGEDIN in /whowas as well as in /whois entries. This adds at
+ most an additional 0.5MB of memory usage.
+oper
+config
+- Add general::use_propagated_bans to switch the new BAN system on or off.
+- Add general::default_ident_timeout, to control the timeout for identd (auth)
+ connections.
+- Add channel::channel_target_change to switch the new channel target change limits
+ on or off.
+- Fix class::number_per_ident so that it also applies to connections without
+ identd.
+- Change the example sslport option to 6697, which is more standard than 9999.
+misc
+- The custom channel mode API has been rewritten, allowing these modules to work
+ correctly when reloaded, or loaded from the config file.
+- The EFNet RBL is now recommended, instead of DroneBL.
+- Remove the unsupported modules directory.
+- Numerous bug fixes and code cleanups.
+- In mkpasswd, default to MD5 crypt instead of insecure DES.
+
+-- shadowircd-6.1.0
+
+new configuration options
+- general::static_quit - Quit message to display for all users (not opers).
+- general::no_part_messages - If this option is set to no, the ircd will not
+ display PART messages/reasons from users.
+- general::true_no_oper_flood - Turns off *ALL* flood protection for opers.
+ Instead of command flooding being 4x what it is for a user with no_oper_flood,
+ there is no limit at all. This option also allows opers to flood channels/users
+ so if you do set it, be extremely careful.
+- serverinfo::helpchan and helpurl - These are 2 config options that tell users,
+ when they do /quote help (with no extra parameters) the official network help
+ channel and a special URL for help. If these options are disabled, the users
+ will just get the help index and that's it on /quote help.
+- general::default_ident_timeout - Allows you to set the default ident timeout
+ in the ircd.conf instead of it being hardcoded and only settable with /SET.
+
+new commands
+- CYCLE #channel - server-side CYCLE, also called HOP in some clients/servers.
+ Parts the user from the given channel, then joins them to it immediately after.
+ Enabled by loading extensions/m_cycle.
+
+opers
+- Override no longer alows overriding opers to talk through +q, +m, etc.
+ If you need to talk through one of these modes, its recommended to remove
+ the offending mode or give yourself voice/ops.
+- OLIST now shows channel modes so opers can easily see which channels are
+ +s and see which channels have oper-only channel modes set.
+- RESTART and DIE now can be executed remotely. See the appropriate helpfiles
+ for details.
+- All module management commands (MODLOAD, MODLIST, MODUNLOAD, MODRELOAD and
+ MODRESTART) can be executed remotely. See the appropriate helpfile for
+ details.
+- OMODE can now set and unset +ah.
+- OJOIN now works with !#channel and %#channel.
+- Staff channelmodes (+AO) now require chanops to set.
+- OPERHOST option added to SET. You can now use SET to change the default
+ operhost that operators get upon opering up, though like the
+ general::default_operhost config option it will not override the
+ operator::vhost config option.
+
+other
+- Added a strip_unprintable function to make evasion of cmodes +G and +K
+ less trivial.
+- Massive helpfile updates.
+- Added SVSJOIN s2s command. This allows things like atheme's ns_ajoin
+ to work on shadowircd.
+- Added BAN stuff (propogated bans on burst) from charybdis trunk. This
+ can be disabled and the old behavior can be used by setting the
+ general::use_propogated_bans option to no.
+- The --enable-small-net configure option is now enabled by default.
+ If you wish to disable small net mode, pass --disable-small-net to
+ configure.
+- New channel mode adding API has been added from charybdis trunk.
+- NOTICE/PRIVMSG @#channel and +#channel now go to admin/halfop as well
+ as chanop.
+
+-- shadowircd-6.0.0
+
+new modes
+- Add umode +C (no CTCP).
+- Add umode +V, users with this mode set will never recieve channel invites
+ from other users.
+- Add umode +B which identifies users as being bots in /whois.
+- Add umode +G which disallows users from messaging you unless you're both
+ on at least one channel together. This can be "overridden" with /accept.
+- Add cmode +T which blocks all notices to the channel.
+- Add cmode +D which blocks all actions (/me's) from being sent to the channel.
+- Add cmode +E which disallows channel ops from kicking users.
+- Add cmode +N which disallows users from changing their nick while they're on
+ a channel with this mode set.
+- Add cmode +K (norepeat) which will block repeated messages, regardless of
+ who they're from.
+- Add cmode +G which blocks messages containing 50% or more capital letters
+ from being sent to the channel.
+- Add cmode +J which disallows a kicked user from rejoining within 'X' seconds
+ of them being kicked, where 'X' is the variable of the channel::kick_no_rejoin_time
+ configuration option.
+- Add cmodes +a and +h (admin and halfop, respectively). There are 2 extra
+ prefixes to more finely-grain the status of staff members in your channels.
+ They can be enabled or disabled in the configuration file with the options
+ channel::use_halfop and channel::use_admin.
+
+new configuration options
+- auth::autojoin - This option will specify what channels users in a matching
+ auth {} block will automatically join on connect to your server/network.
+- auth::autojoin_opers - This option will specify what channels opers in a
+ matching auth {} block will automatically join on oper up (/oper).
+- channel::cycle_host_change - This option defines whether or not users
+ will cycle (part and rejoin) the channels they're in when their host changes.
+ This can be annoying to some people, but disabling it can cause client desyncs.
+- channel::host_in_topic - This option defines whether or not a host setter's
+ full host or just their nick will be shown on /TOPIC.
+- channel::use_local_channels - With this option, you can enable/disable
+ support for local channels on your server/network.
+- channel::exemptchanops - This option defines what channel modes channel
+ operators are exempt from, channel modes usable in this option are: cCDTNGK.
+- general::secret_channels_in_whois - This option defines whether or not opers
+ can see secret channels that a user is in when whoising them. Secret channels
+ will show up in the whois prefixed with *. If this option is disabled, opers
+ will still be able to see secret channels a user is in with the /SPYWHOIS
+ command.
+- Enabled a few popular extensions by default, added a few extensions to the
+ example config files that were missing, add a few more services aliases
+ by default, enable ip_cloaking by default and get rid of all the old
+ ip_cloaking modules.
+
+opers
+- Users' umodes are shown when you whois them.
+- swhois support - Adds a mostly free-form line of text to opers' whois
+ if one is set in their operator {} block.
+- custom operstring - Instead of showing the IRC operator or IRC administrator
+ oper strings, you can customize what it shows in each oper's operator {}
+ block.
+- host-on-oper - Give a vhost to operators upon oper up. Can be defined
+ generally, then the general option may be overridden by each operator {}
+ block.
+- operoverride - Oper override works very differently in ShadowIRCd compared
+ to all other IRCd's which support oper override. In ShadowIRCd, to be able
+ to override, you must have the oper:override privledge and you must then
+ set umode +p on yourself. The p umode will automatically expire and un-set
+ itself after a time set in the configuration option general::expire_override_time.
+- immune - Adds cmode +M. Opers can set this on a channel (even if they don't
+ have ops) without the channel's ops or other users seeing (only opers see
+ this mode at all.) It disallows anyone in the channel from kicking opers.
+- OACCEPT/callerid override - In ShadowIRCd 6, opers no longer can simply PM
+ users that have umodes +g or +G set and the oper is not on their accept list.
+ To allow opers to still be able to PM users in this situation, OACCEPT has been
+ added. OACCEPT is a new extension that enables the command /oaccept <user>
+ which adds a piece of metadata to that use which will allow you to PM them.
+
+other
+- Changed default NICKLEN to 31 (from 15) to fit more closely with other
+ IRCd's.
+- Rebrand many things from Charybdis to ShadowIRCd.
+- Move the m_force module to extensions.
+- Add a metadata framework. Currently used for swhois, custom operstring,
+ OACCEPT, cmode +J, cmode +K.
+
+-- charybdis-3.2.0
+
+server protocol
+- Apply +z to messages blocked by +b and +q as well. (new EOPMOD capab)
+- Add new topic command ETB, allowing services to set topic+setter+ts always.
+ (new EOPMOD capab)
+- The slash ('/') character is now allowed in spoofs.
+user
+- Add can_kick hook, based on the ircd-seven one.
+- Add cmode +C (no CTCP) from ircd-seven.
+- Flood checking has been reworked.
+- Fix op-moderate (cmode +z) for channel names with '@'.
+- Add CERTFP support, allowing users to connect with an SSL client
+ certificate and propagating the certificate fingerprint to other servers.
+ Services packages can use this to identify users based on client
+ certificates.
+- Maintain the list of recently used targets (for the target change
+ anti-spam system) in most-recently-used order, overwriting the least
+ recently used target with a new one. This should be friendlier to users
+ without giving spambots anything.
+- Do not require target change slots for replying to the last five users to
+ send a private message, notice or invite.
+- Apply target change restrictions to /invite.
+- Apply umode +g/+R restrictions to /invite, with the difference that
+ instead of sending "<user> is messaging you" the invite is let through
+ since that is just as noisy.
+oper
+- Add /rehash throttles to clear throttling.
+- Send all server notices resulting from a remote /rehash to the oper.
+- '\s' for space is now part of the matching, not a substitution at xline
+ time, fixing various issues with it.
+- Display o:line "nickname" in oper-up server notices.
+- Fix sendq exceeded snotes for servers.
+- SCAN UMODES: default list-max to 500, like a global WHO.
+- Ignore directory names in MODRELOAD to avoid crashing if it is a core
+ module and the path is incorrect.
+- Tweaks to spambot checks.
+config
+- Add channel::only_ascii_channels config option to restrict channel names
+ to printable ascii only.
+- Add channel::resv_forcepart, forcibly parts local users on channel RESV,
+ default enabled.
+misc
+- New mkpasswd from ircd-ratbox.
+- Check more system calls for errors and handle the errors.
+- Various ssld/libratbox bugfixes from ircd-ratbox. [some MERGED]
+- Fix fd passing on FreeBSD/amd64 and possibly Solaris/sparc. [MERGED]
+- Various documentation improvements. [some MERGED]
+- Fix some crash issues. [MERGED]
+- Add bandb from ircd-ratbox, which stores permanent dlines/klines/xlines/resvs
+ in an sqlite database instead of a flatfile and does the storage in a
+ helper process.
