+### server protocol
+- SJOIN messages were being constructed in a 1024 byte buffer and truncated to 512 bytes
+  when sending. This caused channels with more than 50 users to fail to propagate all of

 - Build system has been converted to libtool + automake for sanity reasons.

   - Implement a channel mode that disallows kicking IRC operators (+M).
 - Enhance the oper override system, allowing more flexibility and detail

+- DNS, ident, and blacklist lookups have been moved to a dedicated daemon known
+  as authd. Some cosmetic changes to blacklist statistics and rejection notices
+  have resulted.
+- An experimental OPM scanner has been added to authd. Plaintext SOCKS4,

+- The LOCOPS command has been moved from core to an extension.
+- All core modules in charybdis have descriptions, which are shown in MODLIST.
+- Suffixes should not be used when doing /MODLOAD, /MODUNLOAD, /MODRELOAD, etc.

+- Support for WebSocket has been added, use the listen::wsock option to switch

 ### conf
 - Add the ability to strip color codes from topics unconditionally.
+- The obsolete hub option from server info has been removed.
 
 ### docs
 - The documentation has been cleaned up; obsolete files have been purged, and

-- irc_dictionary and irc_radixtree stuff is now in librb, prefixed accordingly.
-  Typedefs have been added for consistency reasons. For example, now you would
-  write `rb_dictionary \*foo` and `RB_DICTIONARY_FOREACH`.
-- C99 bools have been added. Don't use ints as simple true/false flags anymore.
-  Don't use `YES`/`NO` or `TRUE`/`FALSE` macros (`TRUE`/`FALSE` has been removed
-  and `YES`/`NO` is awaiting the same fate). Use just `true` and `false`.
+- `common.h` is gone. Everything useful in it was moved to `ircd_defs.h`.
+- `config.h` is gone; the few remaining knobs in it were not for configuration
+  by mere mortals, and mostly existed as a 2.8 relic. Most of the knobs live in
+  `defaults.h`, but one is well-advised to stay away unless they know exactly

+- A new module API has been introduced, known as AV2. It includes things such as
+  module datecodes (to ensure modules don't fall out of sync with the code),
+  module descriptions, and other fun things.
+- Alias and module commands are now in m_alias and m_modules, respectively, and

+- irc_dictionary and irc_radixtree related functions are now in librb, and
