26
27### oper
28- Merge several features from ircd-seven:
29 - Implement support for remote DIE/RESTART.
30 - Implement support for remote MODLOAD et al commands.
31 - Add the GRANT command which allows for temporarily opering a client.
32 - Implement the hidden oper-only channel modes framework.
33 - Implement a channel mode that disallows kicking IRC operators (+M).
34- Enhance the oper override system, allowing more flexibility and detail
35 in network-wide notices.
36
37### conf
38- Add the ability to strip color codes from topics unconditionally.
39
40### code
41- Almost all 2.8-style hashtable structures have been moved to dictionaries or
42 radix trees, resulting in significant memory savings.
43- The block allocator has been disabled and is no longer used.
15b0093d
AC
44- The ratbox client capabilities have been ported to use the ircd capabilities
45 framework, allowing for modules to provide capabilities.

62- Allow mode queries on mlocked modes. In particular, allow /mode #channel f
63 to query the forward channel even if +f is mlocked.
64- Strip colours from channel topics in /list.
65- If umode +D or +g are oper-only, don't advertise them in 005.

72- Use the normal rules for IP visibility in /whowas.
1c38b9de
JT
73- Cmode +c now strips '\x0F' (^O, formatting off), fixing weird rendering in
74 some clients that internally use mIRC formatting such as highlighted
75 messages in HexChat.
76- Indicate join failure because of the chm_sslonly extension (cmode +S) using
77 the same 480 numeric as ircd-ratbox.
6a49a343
AC
78- Do not allow SASL authentication when the configured SASL agent is unavailable.
79- Automatically add unidentified users to the ACCEPT list when a user is set +R,
80 as we do when the user is set +g.

82 - cap-notify
83 - chghost
84 - userhost-in-names
d4466030
AC
85- Implement the $&, $| and $m extban types:
86 - $& combines 1 or more child extbans as an AND expression
87 - $| combines 1 or more child extbans as an OR expression
88 - $m provides normal hostmask matching as an extban for the above
25eeb5ed
AC
89- Do not allow STARTTLS if a connection is already using TLS.
90- Display an operator's privilege set in WHOIS.
91- The $o extban now matches against privilege set names as well as individual

106 like in ircd-seven.
72cc5a99
JT
107- Add chm_nonotice extension, cmode +T to reject notices.
108- Add restrict-unauthenticated extension, prevents unauthenticated users from
109 doing anything as channel operator.
110- Add no_kill_services extension, prevents local opers from killing services.
111- Allow matching specific replies of DNSBLs, using the new matches option.
112- Remove blowfish crypt since it has the BSD advertising clause.
113- Fix SHA256 ($5$) crypt.
1c38b9de

2080c943
JT
148- Allow overriding opers (with the new extension) to op themselves on channels.
149- Allow RSFNC to change a nickname's capitalization only.
150- Add channel ban forwarding <mask>$<channel> much like ircd-seven. Local use
151 of this is controlled by the channel::use_forward config option.
152- Add ENCAP TGINFO to propagate IP addresses that exceeded target change
153 limits (these get a lower limit when they reconnect).

155### user
2080c943
JT
156- Consider bogus CTCP ACTION messages (without action text) CTCP (for
157 cmode +C).
158- Send ERR_TOOMANYCHANNELS for each channel join that fails due to channel
159 limits.
160- Add account-notify client capability to notify clients about logins and
161 logouts of users in common channels. See doc/account-notify.txt.
162- Add extended-join client capability to add account name and ircname to JOIN.
163- Add topic TS and channel TS constraints for /LIST (T<, T>, C<, C>
164 parameters as in some other servers).
165- Disallow wildcarded nicknames in "hunted" parameters like /stats and /motd.
166- Disallow mIRC italics in channel names when disable_fake_channels.
167- Add AUTHENTICATE EXTERNAL support, allows SASL authentication using a
168 certificate fingerprint.
169- Allow channel::kick_on_split_riding to protect channels with mlocked keys.
170- The NICKLEN token in 005 now only specifies the maximum usable nick length.
171 The MAXNICKLEN token specifies the maximum nick length any user can have.
172- Disallow $ in usernames as this may cause problems with ban forwarding.
173- Add an error message (numeric 743) if a ban mask is invalid.
174- Extract the underlying IPv4 address from 6to4 and Teredo IPv6 addresses.
175 Show it in a remote /whois and check channel bans, quiets, D:lines and
176 K:lines against it. Note that ban exceptions and auth{} blocks are not
177 checked.
178- Allow normal users to perform /privs on themselves, showing some privileges
179 from the auth{} block.
180- Add away-notify client capability, see doc/away-notify.txt.
181- Add rate limit for high-bandwidth commands, in particular /who <channel>.
182- Rate limit /away to help avoid flooding via away-notify.
183- Apply colour stripping (cmode +c) and CTCP checking (cmode +C) to messages
184 to @/+ channel as well.
185- Channel mode +c (and other places that disallow colour codes) now also strip
186 ASCII 4 (a different kind of colour code).

2080c943
JT
189- Add operspy for /list.
190- Add a server notice to snomask +b if a user exceeds target change limits.
191- Add missing server notice for kills from RSFNC and SVSLOGIN.
192- Add /stats C to show information about dynamically loaded server
193 capabilities.

195### config
2080c943
JT
196- Add support for linking using SSL certificate fingerprints as the link
197 credential rather than the traditional password pair.
198- Add m_roleplay extension, provides various roleplay commands.
199- Add override extension, umode +p oper override for opers with oper:override
200 permission, with accountability notices and timeout. Note that opers cannot
201 op themselves if there are older servers on the network.
202- Add channel::disable_local_channels config option.
203- Add support for IPv6 DNSBLs. A new "type" option specifies the IP version(s)
204 for which each DNSBL should be checked.
205- Make flood control settings configurable by those who know exactly what they
206 are doing.
207- Add serverinfo::nicklen config option to limit the nick length for local
208 users. Different values of this option do not break the server protocol.
209- Add extb_usermode extension, $m:+-<modes> extban matching against umodes.
210- Extend extb_oper extension to allow matching against oper privileges.
211- Add m_remove extension, /remove command as in ircd-seven.
212- Add general::away_interval to allow configuring /away rate limiting.
213- Add listener::defer_accept to delay accepting a connection until the client
214 sends data. This depends on kernel support. It may break BOPM checking.

216### misc
2080c943
JT
217- In mkpasswd, default to SHA512-based crypt instead of MD5-based crypt.
218- Add --with-custom-branding and --with-custom-version configure options to
219 help forks/patchsets distinguish themselves.
220- Change version control from Mercurial to GIT.
221- Ensure SIGHUP and SIGINT keep working after a SIGINT restart.
222- Add --enable-fhs-paths configure option to allow installing into a more
223 FHS-like hierarchy.
72cc5a99 224- Remove broken GnuTLS support. SSL/TLS is now only provided using OpenSSL.

7e5f0af6 228### server protocol
8a419c60
SB
229- Add new BAN command, for propagated network-wide bans (K/X:lines and RESVs).
230 These will burst to new servers as they are introduced, and will stay in sync
231 across the whole network (new BAN capab).
232- Add new MLOCK command, to implement ircd-side channel mode locks. This allows
233 services to send out a list of mode letters for a given channel which may not
234 be changed, preventing mode fights between services and client bots (new MLOCK
235 capab).
7e5f0af6

236
237### user
8a419c60
SB
238- New RPL_QUIETLIST(728) and RPL_ENDOFQUIETLIST(729) numerics are used for the
239 quiet (+q) list, instead of overloading the ban list numerics.
240- Users may no longer change the topic of a -t channel if they cannot send to
241 it.
242- Add help for EXTBAN, describing the syntax of extended bans in general, as
243 well as the most common types.
244- Changed AWAY messages are now propagated to other servers. Previously, AWAY
245 was only propagated when the user was not already away.
246- Channel mode +c (and other places that disallow colour codes) now also strip
247 ASCII 29 (mIRC 7 italics).
248- Add auto-accept for user mode +g (callerid): Messaging a user while set +g
249 will automatically add them to your accept list.
a48f183c
AC
250- Add target change for channels. It applies to unopped, unvoiced and unopered
251 users. This has the effect of stopping spambots which join, message and part
252 many channels at a time.
253- Show RPL_WHOISLOGGEDIN in /whowas as well as in /whois entries. This adds at
254 most an additional 0.5MB of memory usage.
7e5f0af6 255### config
8a419c60
SB
256- Add general::use_propagated_bans to switch the new BAN system on or off.
257- Add general::default_ident_timeout, to control the timeout for identd (auth)
258 connections.
a48f183c
AC
259- Add channel::channel_target_change to switch the new channel target change limits
260 on or off.
8a419c60
SB
261- Fix class::number_per_ident so that it also applies to connections without
262 identd.
a48f183c 263- Change the example sslport option to 6697, which is more standard than 9999.
7e5f0af6 264### misc
8a419c60
SB
265- The custom channel mode API has been rewritten, allowing these modules to work
266 correctly when reloaded, or loaded from the config file.
267- The EFNet RBL is now recommended, instead of DroneBL.
268- Remove the unsupported modules directory.
269- Numerous bug fixes and code cleanups.
a48f183c 270- In mkpasswd, default to MD5 crypt instead of insecure DES.

281- Add can_kick hook, based on the ircd-seven one.
282- Add cmode +C (no CTCP) from ircd-seven.
283- Flood checking has been reworked.
284- Fix op-moderate (cmode +z) for channel names with '@'.
285- Add CERTFP support, allowing users to connect with an SSL client
286 certificate and propagating the certificate fingerprint to other servers.
287 Services packages can use this to identify users based on client
288 certificates.
289- Maintain the list of recently used targets (for the target change
290 anti-spam system) in most-recently-used order, overwriting the least
291 recently used target with a new one. This should be friendlier to users
292 without giving spambots anything.
293- Do not require target change slots for replying to the last five users to
294 send a private message, notice or invite.
295- Apply target change restrictions to /invite.
296- Apply umode +g/+R restrictions to /invite, with the difference that
297 instead of sending "<user> is messaging you" the invite is let through
298 since that is just as noisy.

301- Add /rehash throttles to clear throttling.
302- Send all server notices resulting from a remote /rehash to the oper.
303- '\s' for space is now part of the matching, not a substitution at xline
304 time, fixing various issues with it.
305- Display o:line "nickname" in oper-up server notices.
306- Fix sendq exceeded snotes for servers.
307- SCAN UMODES: default list-max to 500, like a global WHO.
308- Ignore directory names in MODRELOAD to avoid crashing if it is a core
309 module and the path is incorrect.
087a8399 310- Tweaks to spambot checks.

319- New mkpasswd from ircd-ratbox.
320- Check more system calls for errors and handle the errors.
321- Various ssld/libratbox bugfixes from ircd-ratbox. [some MERGED]
322- Fix fd passing on FreeBSD/amd64 and possibly Solaris/sparc. [MERGED]
323- Various documentation improvements. [some MERGED]
324- Fix some crash issues. [MERGED]
325- Add bandb from ircd-ratbox, which stores permanent dlines/klines/xlines/resvs
326 in an sqlite database instead of a flatfile and does the storage in a
b47da224
JT
327 helper process. Use bin/bantool -i to import your old bans into the

332- Remove TS5 support. No TS5 servers are permitted in a network with
333 charybdis 3.1.0 or newer, except jupes.
07d86ced
JT
334- Replace oper flags by privilege sets (privsets). This adds an extra
335 level of indirection between oper flags and operator blocks. /stats O
336 (capital O) shows the configured privsets.
38423900
JT
337- Update libratbox and ssld from upstream and use it better.
338- Add auth_user to auth{}. This allows specifying a username:password instead
339 of just a password in PASS, so that a fixed user@host is not necessary
340 for a specific auth{} block.
341- Add need_ssl to auth{} and operator{}. This makes these blocks reject
342 the user if not connected via SSL.
343- Allow modules to provide simple channel modes without parameter.
344- Remove restrictions on CNAME in the resolver.
345- Make the resolver remember nonresponsive nameservers.
346- Move nick collision notices from +s to +k.
347- Add additional information to various server notices about server
348 connections.
07d86ced
JT
349- Show throttle information in /stats t.
350- Show rejectcache and throttle information in /testline.
351- Show oper reason in /testline.
352- Allow opers to see other users' umodes with /mode <nick>.
7714f92a 353- SCAN UMODES GLOBAL NO-LIST MASK <mask> is no longer an operspy command.
38423900
JT
354- Also apply floodcount to messages to remote clients (except services).
355- Remove user@server messages to local users. Sending such messages to
356 remote servers is still possible, for securely messaging pseudoservers
357 whether service{}'ed or not. The special oper-only syntax opers@server
358 remains as well.
359- Allow /list on a named +p channel. A full /list already included +p channels.
360- Add operspy /topic.
27cdbd27 361- For remote rehashes, send error messages to the requesting oper as well.
c029a164
JT
362- Disable autoconnect for a server with excessive TS delta.
363- Disallow invites to juped channels.
27cdbd27 364- Warn about certain duplicate and redundant auth blocks.
38423900
JT
365- Make PRIVMSG/NOTICE behave as CPRIVMSG/CNOTICE automatically if possible.
366- Allow +z messages from outside if a channel is -n.
367- Allow coloured part reasons in -c channels.
368- Add ircu-like WHOX support. This allows requesting specific information
369 in /who and allows obtaining services login name for all users in a
370 channel. XChat/Conspire use WHOX to update away status more efficiently.
07d86ced
JT
371- Allow opers and shide_exempt users to see hopcounts even if flatten_links
372 is on.
38423900
JT
373- Rework ip_cloaking.
374- Add the IP address to userlog, as in ircd-ratbox 3.0.
375- Split cidr_bitlen into cidr_ipv4_bitlen and cidr_ipv6_bitlen.
07d86ced
JT
376- Allow using ziplinks with SSL connections. This is not as efficient as
377 using OpenSSL's built in compression, but also works with older versions
378 of OpenSSL.
c029a164
JT
379- Fix an off by one error with zipstats processing, which could overwrite
380 a variable with NULL causing a crash on some systems.
38423900 381- Document some extensions in charybdis-oper-guide.
07d86ced 382- Add more server protocol documentation.
