This is the latest release. Source tarball is available here. |
New
- Support for capability negotiation 302 and
cap-notify. ZNC now has APIAddServerDependentCapability(), using which modules can easily implement new capabilities: if server supports a cap, it will automatically be offered to clients which supportcap-notifyand ZNC will notify the module when the capability is enabled or disabled for server and for each client. (#1859)- Several capabilities (away-notify, account-notify, extended-join) were moved from the core to a new module: corecaps.
- The corecaps module is loaded automatically when upgrading from old config and when creating new config, but it's possible to unload it.
- Note: users who were using pre-release versions of 1.9.x (from git or from nightly tarballs) won't have it loaded automatically, because the existing config states
Version = 1.9. In such case you can load it manually. This is to honor choice of users who decide to unload it, since we don't know whether the module is missing intentionally.
- Note: users who were using pre-release versions of 1.9.x (from git or from nightly tarballs) won't have it loaded automatically, because the existing config states
- Added support for account-tag capability, also in corecaps module (#1746)
- Updated password hashing algorithm from SHA-256 to Argon2id (if libargon2 is installed). Existing passwords are transparently upgraded upon login. (#1879)
- Allow ordering of channels: via ListChans, MoveChan and SwapChans commands, and via webadmin (#1744)
- New user options: DenySetIdent, DenySetNetwork, DenySetRealName, DenySetQuitMsg, DenySetCTCPReplies (#1814)
- Switch --makeconf wizard default network from freenode to Libera
- Added Portuguese and Turkish translations
- znc-buildmod: output where the module was written to
