← 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)
  • Add support for cap account-tag (#1746)

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, or use the __init__.py format and implement some of the files in C. (#1724)

Notes for package maintainers (TODO)

  • cctz
  • cmake
  • libargon2
  • python

Internal

  • Document more functions.
  • 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)
  • Generate list of translators automatically from Crowdin
