Bram Matthys 4d5e627b27 Update release notes: * New set::outdated-tls-policy which describes what to
do with clients that use outdated SSL/TLS protocols (eg: TLSv1.0) and
ciphers.  The default settings are to warn in all cases: users connecting,
opers
/OPER'ing up and servers linking in.  The user will see a message telling
them to upgrade their IRC client.  This should help with migrating such
users, since in the future, say one or two years from now, we would want to
change the default to only allow TSLv1.2+ with ciphers that provide Forward
Secrecy.  Instead of rejecting clients without any error message, this
provides a way to warn them and give them some time to upgrade their
outdated IRC client.

UnrealIRCd 4.2.2-dev Release Notes
=================================
<<TODO>>
Enhancements:
* New set::outdated-tls-policy which describes what to do with clients
that use outdated SSL/TLS protocols (eg: TLSv1.0) and ciphers.
The default settings are to warn in all cases: users connecting,
opers /OPER'ing up and servers linking in. The user will see a message
telling them to upgrade their IRC client.
This should help with migrating such users, since in the future, say one
or two years from now, we would want to change the default to only allow
TSLv1.2+ with ciphers that provide Forward Secrecy. Instead of rejecting
clients without any error message, this provides a way to warn them and

Major issues fixed:
Minor issues fixed:
* "link-security" was incorrectly downgraded from level 2 to 1 if spkifp
was used as an authentication method.
Deprecated:
Module coders:
Future versions:
* We intend to change the default plaintext oper policy from 'warn' to 'deny'
in the year 2019. This will deny /OPER when used from a non-SSL connection.
For security, IRC Operators should really use SSL/TLS!
