18 to query the forward channel even if +f is mlocked.
19- Strip colours from channel topics in /list.
20- If umode +D or +g are oper-only, don't advertise them in 005.

39 - userhost-in-names
d4466030
AC
40- Implement the $&, $| and $m extban types:
41 - $& combines 1 or more child extbans as an AND expression
42 - $| combines 1 or more child extbans as an OR expression

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

106- Consider bogus CTCP ACTION messages (without action text) CTCP (for
107 cmode +C).
108- Send ERR_TOOMANYCHANNELS for each channel join that fails due to channel
109 limits.
110- Add account-notify client capability to notify clients about logins and
111 logouts of users in common channels. See doc/account-notify.txt.
112- Add extended-join client capability to add account name and ircname to JOIN.
113- Add topic TS and channel TS constraints for /LIST (T<, T>, C<, C>
114 parameters as in some other servers).
115- Disallow wildcarded nicknames in "hunted" parameters like /stats and /motd.
116- Disallow mIRC italics in channel names when disable_fake_channels.
117- Add AUTHENTICATE EXTERNAL support, allows SASL authentication using a
118 certificate fingerprint.
119- Allow channel::kick_on_split_riding to protect channels with mlocked keys.
120- The NICKLEN token in 005 now only specifies the maximum usable nick length.
121 The MAXNICKLEN token specifies the maximum nick length any user can have.
122- Disallow $ in usernames as this may cause problems with ban forwarding.
123- Add an error message (numeric 743) if a ban mask is invalid.
124- Extract the underlying IPv4 address from 6to4 and Teredo IPv6 addresses.

126 K:lines against it. Note that ban exceptions and auth{} blocks are not
127 checked.
128- Allow normal users to perform /privs on themselves, showing some privileges
129 from the auth{} block.
130- Add away-notify client capability, see doc/away-notify.txt.
131- Add rate limit for high-bandwidth commands, in particular /who <channel>.
132- Rate limit /away to help avoid flooding via away-notify.
133- Apply colour stripping (cmode +c) and CTCP checking (cmode +C) to messages
134 to @/+ channel as well.
135- Channel mode +c (and other places that disallow colour codes) now also strip
136 ASCII 4 (a different kind of colour code).

145### config
2080c943
JT
146- Add support for linking using SSL certificate fingerprints as the link
147 credential rather than the traditional password pair.
148- Add m_roleplay extension, provides various roleplay commands.
149- Add override extension, umode +p oper override for opers with oper:override
150 permission, with accountability notices and timeout. Note that opers cannot
151 op themselves if there are older servers on the network.
152- Add channel::disable_local_channels config option.
153- Add support for IPv6 DNSBLs. A new "type" option specifies the IP version(s)
154 for which each DNSBL should be checked.
155- Make flood control settings configurable by those who know exactly what they
156 are doing.
157- Add serverinfo::nicklen config option to limit the nick length for local
158 users. Different values of this option do not break the server protocol.
159- Add extb_usermode extension, $m:+-<modes> extban matching against umodes.
160- Extend extb_oper extension to allow matching against oper privileges.
161- Add m_remove extension, /remove command as in ircd-seven.
162- Add general::away_interval to allow configuring /away rate limiting.
163- Add listener::defer_accept to delay accepting a connection until the client
164 sends data. This depends on kernel support. It may break BOPM checking.

JT
167- In mkpasswd, default to SHA512-based crypt instead of MD5-based crypt.
168- Add --with-custom-branding and --with-custom-version configure options to
169 help forks/patchsets distinguish themselves.
170- Change version control from Mercurial to GIT.

172- Add --enable-fhs-paths configure option to allow installing into a more
173 FHS-like hierarchy.
72cc5a99 174- Remove broken GnuTLS support. SSL/TLS is now only provided using OpenSSL.

SB
179- Add new BAN command, for propagated network-wide bans (K/X:lines and RESVs).
180 These will burst to new servers as they are introduced, and will stay in sync
181 across the whole network (new BAN capab).
182- Add new MLOCK command, to implement ircd-side channel mode locks. This allows
183 services to send out a list of mode letters for a given channel which may not
184 be changed, preventing mode fights between services and client bots (new MLOCK
185 capab).

SB
188- New RPL_QUIETLIST(728) and RPL_ENDOFQUIETLIST(729) numerics are used for the
189 quiet (+q) list, instead of overloading the ban list numerics.
190- Users may no longer change the topic of a -t channel if they cannot send to
191 it.
192- Add help for EXTBAN, describing the syntax of extended bans in general, as
193 well as the most common types.
194- Changed AWAY messages are now propagated to other servers. Previously, AWAY
195 was only propagated when the user was not already away.
196- Channel mode +c (and other places that disallow colour codes) now also strip
197 ASCII 29 (mIRC 7 italics).
198- Add auto-accept for user mode +g (callerid): Messaging a user while set +g
199 will automatically add them to your accept list.
a48f183c
AC
200- Add target change for channels. It applies to unopped, unvoiced and unopered
201 users. This has the effect of stopping spambots which join, message and part
202 many channels at a time.
203- Show RPL_WHOISLOGGEDIN in /whowas as well as in /whois entries. This adds at
204 most an additional 0.5MB of memory usage.
7e5f0af6 205### config
8a419c60
SB
206- Add general::use_propagated_bans to switch the new BAN system on or off.
207- Add general::default_ident_timeout, to control the timeout for identd (auth)
208 connections.
a48f183c
AC
209- Add channel::channel_target_change to switch the new channel target change limits
210 on or off.
8a419c60
SB
211- Fix class::number_per_ident so that it also applies to connections without
212 identd.
a48f183c 213- Change the example sslport option to 6697, which is more standard than 9999.
7e5f0af6 214### misc
8a419c60
SB
215- The custom channel mode API has been rewritten, allowing these modules to work
216 correctly when reloaded, or loaded from the config file.
217- The EFNet RBL is now recommended, instead of DroneBL.
218- Remove the unsupported modules directory.
219- Numerous bug fixes and code cleanups.
a48f183c 220- In mkpasswd, default to MD5 crypt instead of insecure DES.

231- Add can_kick hook, based on the ircd-seven one.
232- Add cmode +C (no CTCP) from ircd-seven.
233- Flood checking has been reworked.
234- Fix op-moderate (cmode +z) for channel names with '@'.
235- Add CERTFP support, allowing users to connect with an SSL client
236 certificate and propagating the certificate fingerprint to other servers.
237 Services packages can use this to identify users based on client
238 certificates.
239- Maintain the list of recently used targets (for the target change
240 anti-spam system) in most-recently-used order, overwriting the least
241 recently used target with a new one. This should be friendlier to users
242 without giving spambots anything.
243- Do not require target change slots for replying to the last five users to
244 send a private message, notice or invite.
245- Apply target change restrictions to /invite.
246- Apply umode +g/+R restrictions to /invite, with the difference that
247 instead of sending "<user> is messaging you" the invite is let through
248 since that is just as noisy.

251- Add /rehash throttles to clear throttling.
252- Send all server notices resulting from a remote /rehash to the oper.
253- '\s' for space is now part of the matching, not a substitution at xline
254 time, fixing various issues with it.
255- Display o:line "nickname" in oper-up server notices.
256- Fix sendq exceeded snotes for servers.
257- SCAN UMODES: default list-max to 500, like a global WHO.
258- Ignore directory names in MODRELOAD to avoid crashing if it is a core
259 module and the path is incorrect.
087a8399 260- Tweaks to spambot checks.

272- Fix fd passing on FreeBSD/amd64 and possibly Solaris/sparc. [MERGED]
273- Various documentation improvements. [some MERGED]
274- Fix some crash issues. [MERGED]
275- Add bandb from ircd-ratbox, which stores permanent dlines/klines/xlines/resvs
276 in an sqlite database instead of a flatfile and does the storage in a
b47da224
JT
277 helper process. Use bin/bantool -i to import your old bans into the

281
282- Remove TS5 support. No TS5 servers are permitted in a network with
283 charybdis 3.1.0 or newer, except jupes.
07d86ced
JT
284- Replace oper flags by privilege sets (privsets). This adds an extra
285 level of indirection between oper flags and operator blocks. /stats O
286 (capital O) shows the configured privsets.
38423900
JT
287- Update libratbox and ssld from upstream and use it better.
288- Add auth_user to auth{}. This allows specifying a username:password instead
289 of just a password in PASS, so that a fixed user@host is not necessary
290 for a specific auth{} block.
291- Add need_ssl to auth{} and operator{}. This makes these blocks reject
292 the user if not connected via SSL.
293- Allow modules to provide simple channel modes without parameter.
294- Remove restrictions on CNAME in the resolver.
295- Make the resolver remember nonresponsive nameservers.
296- Move nick collision notices from +s to +k.
297- Add additional information to various server notices about server
298 connections.

299- Show throttle information in /stats t.
300- Show rejectcache and throttle information in /testline.
301- Show oper reason in /testline.
302- Allow opers to see other users' umodes with /mode <nick>.
7714f92a 303- SCAN UMODES GLOBAL NO-LIST MASK <mask> is no longer an operspy command.
38423900
JT
304- Also apply floodcount to messages to remote clients (except services).
305- Remove user@server messages to local users. Sending such messages to
306 remote servers is still possible, for securely messaging pseudoservers
307 whether service{}'ed or not. The special oper-only syntax opers@server
308 remains as well.
309- Allow /list on a named +p channel. A full /list already included +p channels.
310- Add operspy /topic.
27cdbd27 311- For remote rehashes, send error messages to the requesting oper as well.
c029a164
JT
312- Disable autoconnect for a server with excessive TS delta.
313- Disallow invites to juped channels.
27cdbd27 314- Warn about certain duplicate and redundant auth blocks.
38423900
JT
315- Make PRIVMSG/NOTICE behave as CPRIVMSG/CNOTICE automatically if possible.
316- Allow +z messages from outside if a channel is -n.
317- Allow coloured part reasons in -c channels.
318- Add ircu-like WHOX support. This allows requesting specific information
319 in /who and allows obtaining services login name for all users in a
320 channel. XChat/Conspire use WHOX to update away status more efficiently.
07d86ced
JT
321- Allow opers and shide_exempt users to see hopcounts even if flatten_links
322 is on.
38423900
JT
323- Rework ip_cloaking.
324- Add the IP address to userlog, as in ircd-ratbox 3.0.
325- Split cidr_bitlen into cidr_ipv4_bitlen and cidr_ipv6_bitlen.
07d86ced
JT
326- Allow using ziplinks with SSL connections. This is not as efficient as
327 using OpenSSL's built in compression, but also works with older versions
328 of OpenSSL.
c029a164
JT
329- Fix an off by one error with zipstats processing, which could overwrite
330 a variable with NULL causing a crash on some systems.
38423900 331- Document some extensions in charybdis-oper-guide.
07d86ced 332- Add more server protocol documentation.

373- Port the IRCd to libratbox, which has improved our portability and allows
374 us to reuse low-level code instead of maintaining our own.
375- Change configuration of maximum number of clients to ircd-ratbox 3 way.
376- Add adminwall from ircd-ratbox, as an extension.
377- Add client and server-to-server SSL, read example.conf for setup.
378- Replace servlink with ssld (also for ziplinks).
379- A new extban, $z, has been added for ssl users (extensions/extb_ssl.so).
7f9626ff 380- A new compatibility channel mode, +R, has been added, it sets
509090fe
JT
381 +q/-q $~a (extensions/chm_operonly_compat.so). This is similar to
382 the +R seen in ircd-seven.
ce56b91d 383- A new compatibility channel mode, +S, has been added, it sets
509090fe 384 +b/-b $~z (extensions/chm_sslonly_compat.so).
7f9626ff 385- A new compatibility channel mode, +O, has been added, it sets
509090fe
JT
386 +iI/-iI $o (extensions/chm_operonly_compat.so).
387- Add remote D:lines. Note that these are not enabled by default.
388- Remove EFnet-style G:lines. Noone appears to use these.
389- Remove idle time checking (auto disconnecting users idle too long).
390- Display a notice to clients when the IRCd is shut down using SIGTERM.
391- Some error messages have been clarified to enhance usability.
