ChangeLog/1.9.0

← 1.8.2

ZNC 1.9.0

git →

See https://github.com/znc/znc/compare/znc-1.9.0...master for a list of changes since 1.9.0 stable.

New

• Require C++17 compiler. That is, GCC 8+ or Clang 5+. (#1887)
• Remove autoconf, leave only CMake as the build system. The configure script is now merely a wrapper for CMake, and accepts mostly the same parameters as the old configure. Minimum supported CMake version is 3.13.
• Update password hashing algorithm from SHA-256 to Argon2id (if libargon2 is installed). Existing passwords are transparently upgraded upon login. (#1879)
• Support for capability negotiation 3.2 and cap-notify. 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 cap-notify and ZNC will notify the module when the capability is enabled or disabled for server and for each client. (#1859)

Fixes

• Don't send invalid 333 (RPL_TOPICWHOTIME) to client if topic owner is unknown (#1889)
• Fix build with SWIG 4.2.0
• Fix handling of timezones when parsing server-time tags received from server (#1857) (#1773)

Modules

• Rewrite how modpython loads modules from imp to importlib: this adds support for Python 3.12, but bumps the minimum supported python version to 3.4. Also now it's possible to structure the module as a python package (a subdirectory with __init__.py and other .py files), however it no longer supports loading a C python extension through modpython - just write the module on C++ in such case instead of python. (#1724)

Notes for package maintainers (TODO)

• cctz

Internal

• Use steady clock for cache map and for sockets to fix certain issues with leap seconds and DST
• Modernized the way how CMake is used
• Make some integration tests run faster by changing ServerThrottle value
• Various fixes to CI
• Added CIFuzz (#1845)
• Added CodeQL (#1846)
