10 lusky 1060 -- ircd-hybrid-7.3-rc1 Release Notes
11 michael 1020 o) Major 64-bit cleanups and portability fixes.
12 michael 1018 o) Fixed bug where unregistered clients were not able to complete registration
13     process with /quote PONG <ping_cookie> in case the client was assigned a
14     zero value ping-cookie. This may only happen with general::ping_cookie
15     being enabled.
16     o) "STATS z" now shows the actual amount of memory consumption being
17     used by channel bans/excepts/invites.
18     o) Fixed archaic bug where bursting servers with missconfigured NICKLEN were
19     able to desync the network's nickname database.
20     o) The PCRE library has been removed from the ircd sources. ./configure will
21     now automatically detect an already installed version of the PCRE library.
22 michael 991 o) Various resolver improvements and fixes
23     o) Implemented GUNGLINE (global ungline)
24 michael 1018 o) Completely rewrote build system. We're now using automake and libtool
25 michael 1025 o) Added support for SHA-256/512 encrypted passwords to mkpasswd. Whether
26     passwords hashed using these algorithms will work depends on the system's
27 michael 1020 crypt() implementation. For example, SHA-256/512 is available in glibc since
28     version 2.7.
29 michael 991 o) Added ssl_server_protocol configuration option to servinfo{}.
30     Valid flags are 'sslv3' and 'tlsv1'
31     o) Added new 'server' option to listener::flags. Listener with that flag
32     set may only accept server connections.
33 michael 867 o) Fixed occasional core when placing RESVs on channel names
34 michael 878 o) Fixed topic desynchronization which sometimes may
35     happen during netbursts
36 michael 974 o) WATCH support implemented. Known from other irc-daemons, such
37 michael 1020 as Dreamforge and Bahamut. The general::max_watch configuration directive
38     has been added in order to allow run-time configuration of how many
39     watch entries a single client may have on its watchlist.
40 michael 883 o) Fixed bug which would cause invalid invisible counts on oper-up in case
41     operator::umodes and/or general::oper_umodes contains 'invisible'
42 michael 885 o) Removed broken LazyLinks
43 michael 991 o) Removed --disable-gline-voting configure option
44 michael 885 o) Minor code optimizations and cleanups
45 michael 887 o) ACCEPT now supports nick!user@host masks

57     o) Misc fixes to TESTMASK and TESTLINE
58     o) Added support for nick masks to TESTMASK
59     o) Fixed /modlist to show up whether or not a module is resident
