19 - account-tag
20 - echo-message
21 - sasl
22 - server-time
23- SASL: certificate fingerprints are now always sent to the SASL agent, allowing for
24 the certificate to be used as a second authentication factor.

26### oper
27- Merge several features from ircd-seven:
28 - Implement support for remote DIE/RESTART.
29 - Implement support for remote MODLOAD et al commands.
30 - Add the GRANT command which allows for temporarily opering a client.
31 - Implement the hidden oper-only channel modes framework.
32 - Implement a channel mode that disallows kicking IRC operators (+M).
33- Enhance the oper override system, allowing more flexibility and detail
34 in network-wide notices.

36### conf
37- Add the ability to strip color codes from topics unconditionally.
38
39### code
40- Almost all 2.8-style hashtable structures have been moved to dictionaries or
41 radix trees, resulting in significant memory savings.
42- The block allocator has been disabled and is no longer used.
15b0093d
AC
43- The ratbox client capabilities have been ported to use the ircd capabilities
44 framework, allowing for modules to provide capabilities.

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

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

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

7e5f0af6 146### server protocol
2080c943
JT
147- Allow overriding opers (with the new extension) to op themselves on channels.
148- Allow RSFNC to change a nickname's capitalization only.
149- Add channel ban forwarding <mask>$<channel> much like ircd-seven. Local use
150 of this is controlled by the channel::use_forward config option.
151- Add ENCAP TGINFO to propagate IP addresses that exceeded target change
152 limits (these get a lower limit when they reconnect).
7e5f0af6

153
154### user
2080c943
JT
155- Consider bogus CTCP ACTION messages (without action text) CTCP (for
156 cmode +C).
157- Send ERR_TOOMANYCHANNELS for each channel join that fails due to channel
158 limits.
159- Add account-notify client capability to notify clients about logins and
160 logouts of users in common channels. See doc/account-notify.txt.
161- Add extended-join client capability to add account name and ircname to JOIN.
162- Add topic TS and channel TS constraints for /LIST (T<, T>, C<, C>
163 parameters as in some other servers).
164- Disallow wildcarded nicknames in "hunted" parameters like /stats and /motd.
165- Disallow mIRC italics in channel names when disable_fake_channels.
166- Add AUTHENTICATE EXTERNAL support, allows SASL authentication using a
167 certificate fingerprint.
168- Allow channel::kick_on_split_riding to protect channels with mlocked keys.
169- The NICKLEN token in 005 now only specifies the maximum usable nick length.
170 The MAXNICKLEN token specifies the maximum nick length any user can have.
171- Disallow $ in usernames as this may cause problems with ban forwarding.
172- Add an error message (numeric 743) if a ban mask is invalid.
173- Extract the underlying IPv4 address from 6to4 and Teredo IPv6 addresses.
174 Show it in a remote /whois and check channel bans, quiets, D:lines and
175 K:lines against it. Note that ban exceptions and auth{} blocks are not
176 checked.
177- Allow normal users to perform /privs on themselves, showing some privileges
178 from the auth{} block.
179- Add away-notify client capability, see doc/away-notify.txt.
180- Add rate limit for high-bandwidth commands, in particular /who <channel>.
181- Rate limit /away to help avoid flooding via away-notify.
182- Apply colour stripping (cmode +c) and CTCP checking (cmode +C) to messages
183 to @/+ channel as well.
184- Channel mode +c (and other places that disallow colour codes) now also strip
185 ASCII 4 (a different kind of colour code).

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

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

214
215### misc
2080c943
JT
216- In mkpasswd, default to SHA512-based crypt instead of MD5-based crypt.
217- Add --with-custom-branding and --with-custom-version configure options to
218 help forks/patchsets distinguish themselves.
219- Change version control from Mercurial to GIT.
220- Ensure SIGHUP and SIGINT keep working after a SIGINT restart.
221- Add --enable-fhs-paths configure option to allow installing into a more
222 FHS-like hierarchy.
72cc5a99 223- Remove broken GnuTLS support. SSL/TLS is now only provided using OpenSSL.

7e5f0af6 227### server protocol
8a419c60
SB
228- Add new BAN command, for propagated network-wide bans (K/X:lines and RESVs).
229 These will burst to new servers as they are introduced, and will stay in sync
230 across the whole network (new BAN capab).
231- Add new MLOCK command, to implement ircd-side channel mode locks. This allows
232 services to send out a list of mode letters for a given channel which may not
233 be changed, preventing mode fights between services and client bots (new MLOCK
234 capab).
7e5f0af6

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

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

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

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

331- Remove TS5 support. No TS5 servers are permitted in a network with
332 charybdis 3.1.0 or newer, except jupes.
07d86ced
JT
333- Replace oper flags by privilege sets (privsets). This adds an extra
334 level of indirection between oper flags and operator blocks. /stats O
335 (capital O) shows the configured privsets.
38423900
JT
336- Update libratbox and ssld from upstream and use it better.
337- Add auth_user to auth{}. This allows specifying a username:password instead
338 of just a password in PASS, so that a fixed user@host is not necessary
339 for a specific auth{} block.
340- Add need_ssl to auth{} and operator{}. This makes these blocks reject
341 the user if not connected via SSL.
342- Allow modules to provide simple channel modes without parameter.
343- Remove restrictions on CNAME in the resolver.
344- Make the resolver remember nonresponsive nameservers.
345- Move nick collision notices from +s to +k.
346- Add additional information to various server notices about server
347 connections.

7714f92a 352- SCAN UMODES GLOBAL NO-LIST MASK <mask> is no longer an operspy command.
38423900
JT
353- Also apply floodcount to messages to remote clients (except services).
354- Remove user@server messages to local users. Sending such messages to
355 remote servers is still possible, for securely messaging pseudoservers
356 whether service{}'ed or not. The special oper-only syntax opers@server
357 remains as well.
358- Allow /list on a named +p channel. A full /list already included +p channels.
359- Add operspy /topic.
27cdbd27 360- For remote rehashes, send error messages to the requesting oper as well.
c029a164
JT
361- Disable autoconnect for a server with excessive TS delta.
362- Disallow invites to juped channels.
27cdbd27 363- Warn about certain duplicate and redundant auth blocks.
38423900
JT
364- Make PRIVMSG/NOTICE behave as CPRIVMSG/CNOTICE automatically if possible.
365- Allow +z messages from outside if a channel is -n.
366- Allow coloured part reasons in -c channels.
367- Add ircu-like WHOX support. This allows requesting specific information
368 in /who and allows obtaining services login name for all users in a
369 channel. XChat/Conspire use WHOX to update away status more efficiently.
07d86ced
JT
370- Allow opers and shide_exempt users to see hopcounts even if flatten_links
371 is on.
38423900
JT
372- Rework ip_cloaking.
373- Add the IP address to userlog, as in ircd-ratbox 3.0.
374- Split cidr_bitlen into cidr_ipv4_bitlen and cidr_ipv6_bitlen.
07d86ced

375- Allow using ziplinks with SSL connections. This is not as efficient as
376 using OpenSSL's built in compression, but also works with older versions
377 of OpenSSL.

378- Fix an off by one error with zipstats processing, which could overwrite
379 a variable with NULL causing a crash on some systems.
