* Support for capability negotiation 3.2 and <code>cap-notify</code>. ZNC now has API, using which modules can easily implement new capabilities: if server supports a cap, it will automatically be offered to clients which support <code>cap-notify</code> and ZNC will notify the module when the capability is enabled or disabled for server and for each client. {{GH|1859}}
* Support for [https://ircv3.net/specs/extensions/capability-negotiation capability negotiation] 302 and <code>cap-notify</code>. ZNC now has API <code>AddServerDependentCapability()</code>, using which modules can easily implement new capabilities: if server supports a cap, it will automatically be offered to clients which support <code>cap-notify</code> and ZNC will notify the module when the capability is enabled or disabled for server and for each client. {{GH|1859}}
** Several capabilities (away-notify, account-notify, extended-join) were moved from the core to a new module: corecaps.
** Several capabilities ([https://ircv3.net/specs/extensions/away-notify away-notify], [https://ircv3.net/specs/extensions/account-notify account-notify], [https://ircv3.net/specs/extensions/extended-join extended-join]) were moved from the core to a new module: corecaps.
** Add support for account-tag capability, also in corecaps module {{GH|1746}}
** The [[corecaps]] module is loaded automatically when upgrading from old config and when creating new config, but it's possible to unload it.
* Updated password hashing algorithm from SHA-256 to Argon2id (if libargon2 is installed). Existing passwords are transparently upgraded upon login. {{GH|1879}}
*** '''NOTE''': Users who were using '''pre-release version of 1.9.x''' (from git or from nightly tarballs) will NOT have this module loaded automatically, because the existing config states <code>Version = 1.9</code>. This is to honor choice of users who decide to unload it, since we don't know whether the module is missing intentionally. You MUST manually load this module if you have clients or scripts that depends on away-notify, account-notify, account-tag, and/or extended-join.

← 1.8.2 ZNC 1.9.0 1.9.1 →
This is an old ZNC version. If you still use it, please consider upgrading to 1.9.1.


New

  • Support for capability negotiation 302 and cap-notify. ZNC now has API AddServerDependentCapability(), using which modules can easily implement new capabilities: if server supports a cap, it will automatically be offered to clients which support cap-notify and 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 version of 1.9.x (from git or from nightly tarballs) will NOT have this module loaded automatically, because the existing config states Version = 1.9. This is to honor choice of users who decide to unload it, since we don't know whether the module is missing intentionally. You MUST manually load this module if you have clients or scripts that depends on away-notify, account-notify, account-tag, and/or extended-join.
    • 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)

  • Use module names as the module ident, otherwise some clients were merging conversations with different modules together. (#1874)
  • Stopped sending invalid 333 (RPL_TOPICWHOTIME) to client if topic owner is unknown (#1889)
  • Fixed an ODR violation (#1835)
  • Better hide password in PASS debug lines, sometimes it was not hidden
  • CAP REQ sent by client without CAP LS now suspends the registration as the spec requires (#1820)

  • List of translators is now automatically generated from Crowdin
