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 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.
