0.33.0-rc1 (2022-02-17)

Features

• Support splitting users from different homeservers into different IPv6 blocks. (#1514)
• Added a new metric clientpool_by_homeserver which lists the states of IRC clients, by the top 25 homeservers. (#1517)
• Add support for subscribing to moderation policy. See http://matrix-org.github.io/matrix-appservice-irc/administrators_guide.html#subscribing-to-moderation-policies for more information. (#1532)

Bugfixes

• Matrix message edits no longer bridge as a diff if it's longer than the new message (#1477)

Improved Documentation

• Update the list of bridged networks after hackint started offering a bridge once again. (#1501)
• Removed freenode from bridged networks. (#1523)

Deprecations and Removals

• The bridge will no longer treat invites without a is_direct: true as DM invites (and will henceforth reject group room invites). This may break some Matrix
  clients that do not supply this metadata when creating a room. (#1506)
• Minimum required Node version is now 14. Users on Node 12 are advised to update to newer versions. (#1515)

Internal Changes

• Check changelog.d entries in CI. (#1527)
• Update various packages that were out of date. (#1530)

0.32.1 (2021-10-25)

Bugfixes

0.32.0

0.32.0 (2021-10-18)

IMPORTANT: The ruleFile option in this release has been removed, and replaced by storing the rules directly inside the bridge. Instead of using a HTTP url to hot-reload the rules, just hot-reload the config as normal.

Features

• Breaking: Upgrade to matrix-appservice-bridge 3.1.0.

  This change removes the ruleFile option from the config, and replaces it with rules. See config.sample.yaml for an example. (#1485)

• Add optional bridge blocking upon exceeding a monthly active user limit (#1472)

Bugfixes

• Fix an issue where the bridge would excessively log state event content (#1487)

0.31.0

Features

• Render Matrix message edits as sed-like diff statements, falling back to asterisk formatted messages (#1465)

Bugfixes

• Make sure we don't exceed the line limit when trimming long messages (#1459)
• Make sure Matrix notice messages are also pastebinned when they exceed the line limit for IRC. (#1461)
• Fallback to sending an invite as a bot if the regular invite fails (#1467)
• Fixed an issue where bridges using the NEdB datastore would still erroneously require IRC usernames to be unique. (#1471)
• Fixed a bug where !help in an admin room would not show admin commands. (#1478)
• Fix an edgecase where an nickname was not always set right for matrix users in PMs (#1479)

Improved Documentation

• Replace HOWTO.md with a link to our hosted documentation, and generally improve documentation wording. (#1458)

0.29.0 (2021-08-02)

(N.B. We skipped the 0.28.0 release as new features became ready to ship before we completed the RC period. Users on 0.27.0 or earlier should upgrade to 0.29.0)

Features

• Fix an issue where a Matrix user's IRC connection is stuck and unable to join some channels. (#1394
• Require explicit server selection for !storepass when more than one possibility exists.
  This makes the command a bit more verbose, but avoids the situation where a password could've been accidentally specified for the wrong server. (#1363)
