ircd-hybrid: Update to 8.2.24
pkgsrc changes:
-TODO
+* Removed the auto creation of configuration files since they are obsolete.
+
+Changes since 7.2.3:
+
+-- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.24 (2018-04-05)
+o) Added "STATS s" to show configured pseudo {} blocks
+o) Implemented channel mode 'N' which prevents users from changing their
+ nick while in a channel with that mode set
+o) Services clients are now shown with 'is a Network Service' in "WHOIS"
+
+
+-- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.23 (2018-03-26)
+o) irc-operators are now able to see a user's resolved hostname in /whowas,
+ and /whois even if the user has a fakehost/vhost
+o) RPL_WELCOME now does use the rfc2812 style nick!user@host format
+o) Removed rudimentary libgeoip support
+o) Added --enable-efence switch to allow easy linking with the
+ electric fence memory debugger library
+o) "JOIN 0" is no longer supported
+o) Fixed bug where ircd would not remove RPL_WHOISOPERATOR based svstags
+ when deoppering
+o) Fixed 'unknown closes' statistic in "STATS t" showing invalid values sometimes
+
+
+-- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.22 (2017-03-26)
+o) Implemented channel mode 'L'. Channels with that mode set can make use of an
+ extended ban list size specified with the new 'channel::max_bans_large'
+ configuraton option. This mode can be set only by irc-operators or servers.
+o) Implemented channel mode 'u' which hides bmask (+b/+e/+I) lists and mode changes
+ to non-chanops everywhere
+o) Fixed an issue with "TRACE" where remote servers would reply with RPL_TRACEUSER
+ numerics containing UIDs
+o) "STATS z" now shows simple memory stats of servers linked to the network
+o) Added support for remote "ETRACE"
+
+
+-- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.21 (2016-11-27)
+o) The 'general::default_floodtime' configuration option has been added
+ along with the "SET FLOODTIME" command. These allow to fine-tune the
+ message throttling better
+o) Fixed an issue with /invite not showing the list of channels the
+ sender is invited to
+
+
+-- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.20 (2016-11-05)
+o) "INFO" now shows GnuTLS/OpenSSL library/header versions
+o) Added 'channel::max_invites' configuration option. See doc/reference.conf
+ for more information.
+o) INVITE expirations have been implemented. Expire time can be adjusted with
+ the 'channel::invite_expire_time' configuration directive
+o) /whois notices to operators have been re-added. User mode +y is required
+ to see them
+o) The maximum line length for motd files has been increased to 320 bytes
+ to support multibyte encodings better
+
+
+-- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.19 (2016-08-21)
+o) Fixed a possible server name leak in "WHO" with server hiding enabled
+o) "WHO" now allows opers to search by IP address
+o) Admins no longer can see IP addresses in "STATS P" with
+ 'serverhide::hide_server_ips' enabled
+o) User mode 'n' now shows nick name changes from remote clients, too
+
+
+-- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.18 (2016-06-22)
+o) Fixed an assert when a client sends invalid LIST options
+o) Fixed invalid memory stats of channel invites in "STATS z"
+
+
+-- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.17 (2016-04-21)

+ set to 0
+o) Fixed possible core on "INVITE" with 'channel::max_channels' set to 0
+
+
+-- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.16 (2016-03-20)
+o) Added 'general::whowas_history_length' configuration option which
+ allows to define the maximum length of the WHOWAS nickname history
+o) Services are now allowed to override 'general::min_nonwildcard',
+ and 'general::min_nonwildcard_simple' settings
+o) Minor updates to help files
+
+
+-- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.15 (2016-02-24)
+o) Added proper support for Raspbian/ARM. Gracias to Beave/2600.net
+ for providing a box for testing purposes.
+o) Fixed an assert with empty user = "" directives in auth {} blocks
+o) "STATS z" now shows allocated listeners
+o) Fixed bug where 'can_flood' auth {} flags did not work on channels

+ serverinfo {} block
+o) Further improvements to GnuTLS support
+
+
+-- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.13 (2016-02-02)
+o) Implemented support for GnuTLS. Currently ./configure's autodetection
+ intentionally prefers OpenSSL over GnuTLS, so OpenSSL detection needs
+ to be disabled explicitely by using the --disable-openssl switch.

+o) Configuration related server notices are now sent to admins only as
+ they potentially could leak passwords and other sensitive data to irc
