All notable changes to Oragono will be documented in this file.
This project adheres to Semantic Versioning. For the purposes of versioning, we consider the “public API” to refer to the configuration files, CLI interface and database format.
New release of Oragono!
And v0.11.0 finally comes along! This release has been in the works for almost four months now, with an alpha and beta helping square away the issues.
We’re adding a lot of features to improve debugging, better support international users, and make things better for network administrators. Among the new features, you can use the LANGUAGE
command to set a custom server language (see our CrowdIn to contribute), expose a debugging pprof
endpoint, reserve nicknames with NickServ
, and force email verification for new user accounts. On the improvements side we have a CAP REQ
fix, and we now have a manual that contains a nice overview of Oragono’s documentation.
If you have any trouble with this release, please let us know with an issue on our tracker, or by talking to us in #oragono
on Freenode.
Thanks a bunch to everyone for the help with this release – especially to our translators and to Slingamn for being an awesome co-maintainer!

, as per the spec.This patch fixes a couple bugs, updates cap/isupport token names in response to spec changes, and allows unprivileged users to list channel bans. Ah, DLINE and KLINE also store oper names, so you can see who set those pesky bans later on!
Overall, a fairly standard patch that just improves things. No config changes, no database changes.
Also, Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

running, replace it with this release.
This patch release of Oragono fixes a fairly big channel mode bug, where users could set channel modes when they weren’t actually allowed to.
recover-from-errors
key added under debug
, which enables recovery from client-caused errors (at the cost of possible server instability).SAMODE
now lists other users’ modes.There has been a bunch of new changes in this release! From sts
being ratified to supporting WEBIRC
to rewriting a whole lot of our internals, 0.10.0 represents a real step forward in terms of where Oragono’s going.
In addition to the new features, this issue fixes a bunch of fairly large bugs (such as an errant INVITE
being able to crash the server, the +mR
channel modes not working at all, and making rehashing safer).
I’d like to thank @slingamn for really contributing a lot in this release! He’s done a whole bunch of the internal work, cleaned up the code, and in general just been a great help while developing. Running Oragono on an actual network has really helped find and track down some serious bugs, and lead us to some much-needed improvements.

.ERR_NOSUCHNICK
numerics (we weren’t sending the nick correctly).So many fixes! You can now set the default modes for new channels, use HAProxy again, use the umode +R
to protect yourself against unwanted PMs, and we now warn on configurations/setups that look incorrect!
In addition, this release makes testing easier, makes sure we better adhere to the SASL specification and also removes some memory leaks around the place. All in all, just a solid upgrade and less bugs across the board.

: Only receive private messages and notices from other registered users.Just a patch release to fix a bug! The bug that’s been fixed prevented you from modifying channel privilidges at all, which isn’t great. With this release, now you can do so again!
This is one I’m gonna have to add to the testcases, to make sure it doesn’t happen again.
Lots of quality-of-life fixes, improved oversight for opers, and a proposed channel renaming command!
With this release, we’re moving to a proper Github organisation, becoming more consistent with other IRCds, and introducing a bunch more snomasks. In addition, when setting DLINE
and KLINE
bans, you can also kill all clients who match the ban by supplying the parameter ANDKILL
when you set the ban.
Channel LIST
filtering is now more useful, and I’ll keep expanding this in future releases. As well, there’s been some useful extensions to WHOIS
, and a bug with SANICK
fixed thanks to @lbeziaud. @enckse has also added Oragono to the Arch AUR, to make it easier to install on that distro.
Thanks to everyone for suggesting improvements and reporting issues! There’s a lot to do as we move forward, and I have a pretty decent plan of where to go next.

This release isn’t too exciting, but packs large improvements to how we handle floods and similar issues. As well, the introduction of snomasks (take a look at /HELPOP snomasks
) should help opers keep a basic view over their server during use. Only the "c"
(connects) snomask is active right now, but others will be added and extended in future releases.

This is a quick patch release of Oragono to work around a discovered bug.
This release brings channel registration with ChanServ, logging improvements, and a whole host of improvements across the board.
Thanks to a suggestion by dp-
on our channel (#oragono
on Freenode), the socket handling code has been overhauled to allow for a larger number of more stable connections. As well, improved testing has brought with it a bunch of strange hang and crash fixes, which means that Oragono should be more stable than ever.
Channel registration is really cool. Essentially, you register the channel with /CS REGISTER
as you would on any network, and then all topic changes, the +b/+e/+I
lists, and your founder status, are all remembered and re-applied when the server’s restarted.

I’ve also started including a new section in the changelog called Config Changes, which should help you find what you need to update across releases.

As well, there are some major fixes with the libraries Oragono depends on, which fix various DoS attacks, crashes and timeouts. In short, this release is more stable and fixes a bunch of issues.
This release also updates the database, so be sure to run the oragono upgradedb
