Changes since 8.2.37:
-- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.38 (2021-01-17)
* Backwards compatibility mode for ircd-hybrid 8.2.22 and below has been removed
* Minimum supported version of the Anope IRC services is now 2.0.8
* Fixed displaying issue with channel MODE messages
* Characters valid for user names for local clients are now [A-Za-z0-9._-]. 'Special'
characters like }|{'^]\[$, that were allowed previously, are no longer valid.
Also user names may not begin with '.', '_', or '-'.
* The 'general::dots_in_ident' configuration directive has been renamed to
'general::specials_in_ident' and now covers the '-' and '_' characters in
addition to '.'
* Fixed issue with clients connected from IPv6 localhost that, depending on the
system's getaddrinfo() implementation, could lead to a crash of remote servers
