(away messages are not). + * users need +o (or +v) to speak on a channel where they're banned. + +Important configuration changes between 2.9.x and 2.10.x: + + * The V line format has changed! + +------ + +If the irc daemon is unable to bind any socket to listen to for incoming +connections, it will die rather than stay alive. + +=============================================================================== + +New feature in 2.9.5: + * D lines created. + +------ + +2.9.5 is taking steps to suppress the usage of the 2.9 JOIN +format (:nickname JOIN #channel^Gov). Future versions will +not generate such joins anymore. In order to make the +transition smooth, it is imperative that all servers on the +IRC network be upgraded to 2.9.5 when the JOIN syntax is +abandonned. Not doing so will result in a considerable +increase of the amount of bandwidth used during netjoins. + +As a result, MIRC_KLUDGE is now defined by default in config.h + +------ + +2.9.5 can be compiled on a W32 system using the Cygwin32 +library (http://www.cygnus.com/misc/gnu-win32/). + +=============================================================================== + +2.9.4 doesn't support 2.8 links anymore. A 2.8.x server cannot +be directly linked to a 2.9.4 server. They can however coexist +on the same IRC network. + +------ + +Configuration changes between 2.9.3 and 2.9.4: + + * The format for I lines was extended. + * The format for B lines has slightly changed. + * The format for Y lines has changed ([user@]host limits). + * K lines on IP addresses now match resolving hosts by default. + +------ + +As announced with the 2.9.3 release, the NOTE feature has been removed. +A replacement has been written as an independant package, and can be found +at the following location: ftp://ftp.cs.tu-berlin.de/pub/net/irc/noteserv/ + +=============================================================================== + +2.9.3 doesn't support 2.7 protocol anymore. Don't run 2.9.3 +and 2.7 servers on the same IRC network. + +------ + +New features in 2.9.3: + + * compression of server links. + * virtual IP support. + * B lines created. (client redirection) + * k lines created. (OTHER ident) + * V lines created. (restrict peers' compile time options) + * new type of client: services. + +------ + +Important configuration changes between 2.9.2 and 2.9.3: + + * M and P lines format has changed since 2.9.2, it is important + to update your ircd.conf ! + * kill lines are now case sensitive (K: and k: are different) + |
