1 -- ircd-hybrid-7.3 RELNOTES
2 o) Fixed bug where unregistered clients were not able to complete registration
3 process with /quote PONG <ping_cookie> in case the client was assigned a
4 zero value ping-cookie. This may only happen with general::ping_cookie
5 being enabled.
6 o) "STATS z" now shows the actual amount of memory consumption being
7 used by channel bans/excepts/invites.
8 o) Fixed archaic bug where bursting servers with missconfigured NICKLEN were
9 able to desync the network's nickname database.

11 now automatically detect an already installed version of the PCRE library.
