- Allow mode queries on mlocked modes. In particular, allow /mode #channel f
to query the forward channel even if +f is mlocked.
- Strip colours from channel topics in /list.
- $& combines 1 or more child extbans as an AND expression
- $| combines 1 or more child extbans as an OR expression
- $m provides normal hostmask matching as an extban for the above

- Fix a crash with /testline.
- Complain to opers if a server that isn't a service tries to

instead of only on snomask +d and in ioerrorlog.
- Remove snotes on +r about GET/PUT/POST commands ("HTTP Proxy disconnected").
- Add DNSBL snotes on snomask +r.
-config
+
+### config

doing anything as channel operator.
SHA1, SHA256 and SHA512 are available options.

-server protocol
+### 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.

limits (these get a lower limit when they reconnect).
-user

+### user
- Consider bogus CTCP ACTION messages (without action text) CTCP (for
cmode +C).

ASCII 4 (a different kind of colour code).

credential rather than the traditional password pair.

sends data. This depends on kernel support. It may break BOPM checking.
-misc

- Add --with-custom-branding and --with-custom-version configure options to
help forks/patchsets distinguish themselves.

across the whole network (new BAN capab).

be changed, preventing mode fights between services and client bots (new MLOCK
capab).
