# @(#)$Id: RELEASE_NOTES,v 1.34 1999/08/13 17:55:01 kalt Exp $
This is version 2.10.3 of the IRC software.
===============================================================================
New features in 2.10.3:
* new options for iauth.conf to better control iauth behaviour
* iauth now supports dynamically shared modules.
* socks module now checks for both v4 and v5 of the SOCKS protocol.
* iauth has a new module: LHEx, see ftp://ftp.irc.org/irc/server/LHEx
Important changes in 2.10.3 (since 2.10.2):
* default PATHs have changed, see INSTALL file and Makefile.
* V line code was fixed, and format slightly changed again.
------
Because of the many changes concerning iauth, it is recommended that this new
version of the iauth program not be used with older version of the IRC daemon.
===============================================================================
Version 2.10.2 of the software adds support for IPv6.
Important changes in 2.10.2 (since 2.10.1):
* iauth's socks module now uses an internal cache.
* iauth's socks module now checks for SOCKSv4 (rather than v5) proxies.
===============================================================================
2.10 uses a new (server-server) protocol.
New features in 2.10.0:
* slave process handles authentication (ident lookups, ..).
* creation of a collision proof type of channels (prefix !).
* opless !channels may be reoped by the server (mode +r).
* added channel mode +e (EFnet's exceptions to bans).
* added channel mode +I (invitations).
* /invite can now be used to override channel bans & limit.
* away status is propagated again. (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)
