← 1.6.6 ZNC 1.7.0 1.7.1 →


// TODO: cleanup this list, reorder, recategorize, fix grammar

New

  • Add CMake build. Minimum supported CMake version is 3.1. For now ZNC can be built with either CMake or autoconf. In future autoconf is going to be removed.
    • Currently znc-buildmod requires python if CMake was used; if that's a concern for you, please open a bug.
  • Increase minimum GCC version from 4.7 to 4.8. Minimum Clang version stays at 3.2.
  • Make ZNC UI translateable to different languages, add partial Russian translation. If you want to translate ZNC to your language, great! Please say.
  • Configs written before ZNC 0.206 can't be read anymore (#929)
  • Implement IRCv3.2 capability echo-message on the "client side" (#950)
  • Implement IRCv3.2 capabilities cap-notify, away-notify, account-notify, extended-join (#315) (#316)
  • Update capability names as they are named in IRCv3.2: znc.in/server-time-isoserver-time, znc.in/batchbatch. Old names will continue working for a while, then will be removed in some future version.
  • Make ZNC request server-time from server when available (#839)
  • Increase accepted line length from 1024 to 2048 to give some space to message tags
  • Separate buffer size settings for channels and queries (#967)

  • Add "AuthOnlyViaModule" global/user setting (#331)
  • Added pyeval module
  • Added stripcontrols module (#387)
  • Add new substitutions to ExpandString: %empty% and %network%. (#1049) (#1139)

  • Add SNI SSL client support (#1200)
  • Add support for CIDR notation in allowed hosts list and in trusted proxy list (#207) (#1219)
  • Add network-specific config for cert validation in addition to user-supplied fingerprints: TrustAllCerts, defaults to false, and TrustPKI, defaults to true. (#866)
  • Add /attach command for symmetry with /detach. Unlike /join it allows wildcards.
  • Timestamp format now supports sub-second precision with %f. Used in awaystore, listsockets, log modules and buffer playback when client doesn't support server-time (#1455)
  • Build on macOS using ICU, Python, and OpenSSL from Homebrew, if available (#894)
  • Remove --with-openssl=/path option from ./configure. SSL is still supported and is still configurable

Fixes

  • Revert tables to how they were in ZNC 1.4 (#914)
