+server protocol
+- Allow overriding opers (with the new extension) to op themselves on channels.
+- Allow RSFNC to change a nickname's capitalization only.
+- Add channel ban forwarding <mask>$<channel> much like ircd-seven. Local use
+ of this is controlled by the channel::use_forward config option.
+- Add ENCAP TGINFO to propagate IP addresses that exceeded target change
+ limits (these get a lower limit when they reconnect).
+user
+- Consider bogus CTCP ACTION messages (without action text) CTCP (for
+ cmode +C).
+- Send ERR_TOOMANYCHANNELS for each channel join that fails due to channel
+ limits.
+- Add account-notify client capability to notify clients about logins and
+ logouts of users in common channels. See doc/account-notify.txt.
+- Add extended-join client capability to add account name and ircname to JOIN.
+- Add topic TS and channel TS constraints for /LIST (T<, T>, C<, C>
+ parameters as in some other servers).
+- Disallow wildcarded nicknames in "hunted" parameters like /stats and /motd.
+- Disallow mIRC italics in channel names when disable_fake_channels.
+- Add AUTHENTICATE EXTERNAL support, allows SASL authentication using a
+ certificate fingerprint.
+- Allow channel::kick_on_split_riding to protect channels with mlocked keys.
+- The NICKLEN token in 005 now only specifies the maximum usable nick length.
+ The MAXNICKLEN token specifies the maximum nick length any user can have.
+- Disallow $ in usernames as this may cause problems with ban forwarding.
+- Add an error message (numeric 743) if a ban mask is invalid.
+- Extract the underlying IPv4 address from 6to4 and Teredo IPv6 addresses.
+ Show it in a remote /whois and check channel bans, quiets, D:lines and
+ K:lines against it. Note that ban exceptions and auth{} blocks are not
+ checked.
+- Allow normal users to perform /privs on themselves, showing some privileges
+ from the auth{} block.
+- Add away-notify client capability, see doc/away-notify.txt.
+- Add rate limit for high-bandwidth commands, in particular /who <channel>.
+- Rate limit /away to help avoid flooding via away-notify.
+- Apply colour stripping (cmode +c) and CTCP checking (cmode +C) to messages
+ to @/+ channel as well.
+- Channel mode +c (and other places that disallow colour codes) now also strip
+ ASCII 4 (a different kind of colour code).
+oper
+- Add operspy for /list.
+- Add a server notice to snomask +b if a user exceeds target change limits.
+- Add missing server notice for kills from RSFNC and SVSLOGIN.
+- Add /stats C to show information about dynamically loaded server
+ capabilities.
+config
+- Add support for linking using SSL certificate fingerprints as the link
+ credential rather than the traditional password pair.
+- Add m_roleplay extension, provides various roleplay commands.
+- Add override extension, umode +p oper override for opers with oper:override
+ permission, with accountability notices and timeout. Note that opers cannot
+ op themselves if there are older servers on the network.
+- Add channel::disable_local_channels config option.
+- Add support for IPv6 DNSBLs. A new "type" option specifies the IP version(s)
+ for which each DNSBL should be checked.
+- Make flood control settings configurable by those who know exactly what they
+ are doing.
+- Add serverinfo::nicklen config option to limit the nick length for local
+ users. Different values of this option do not break the server protocol.
+- Add extb_usermode extension, $m:+-<modes> extban matching against umodes.
+- Extend extb_oper extension to allow matching against oper privileges.
+- Add m_remove extension, /remove command as in ircd-seven.
+- Add general::away_interval to allow configuring /away rate limiting.
+- Add listener::defer_accept to delay accepting a connection until the client
+ sends data. This depends on kernel support. It may break BOPM checking.
+misc
+- In mkpasswd, default to SHA512-based crypt instead of MD5-based crypt.
+- Add --with-custom-branding and --with-custom-version configure options to
+ help forks/patchsets distinguish themselves.
+- Change version control from Mercurial to GIT.
+- Ensure SIGHUP and SIGINT keep working after a SIGINT restart.
+- Add --enable-fhs-paths configure option to allow installing into a more
+ FHS-like hierarchy.
+
+-- 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.
+
+-- 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. Use bin/bantool -i to import your old bans into the
+ database.
