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.
