0.33.0 (2022-03-02)

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)
• Fix a duplicate metric that would prevent the bridge from starting. (#1534)

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• Update various packages that were out of date.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)

0.32.0

0.32.0 (2021-10-18)

Bugfixes

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