1 lusky 1060 -- ircd-hybrid-7.3-rc1 Release Notes
2 michael 1020 o) Major 64-bit cleanups and portability fixes.
3 michael 1018 o) Fixed bug where unregistered clients were not able to complete registration
4     process with /quote PONG <ping_cookie> in case the client was assigned a
5     zero value ping-cookie. This may only happen with general::ping_cookie
6     being enabled.
7     o) "STATS z" now shows the actual amount of memory consumption being
8     used by channel bans/excepts/invites.
9     o) Fixed archaic bug where bursting servers with missconfigured NICKLEN were
10     able to desync the network's nickname database.
11     o) The PCRE library has been removed from the ircd sources. ./configure will
12     now automatically detect an already installed version of the PCRE library.
13 michael 991 o) Various resolver improvements and fixes
14     o) Implemented GUNGLINE (global ungline)
15 michael 1018 o) Completely rewrote build system. We're now using automake and libtool
16 michael 1025 o) Added support for SHA-256/512 encrypted passwords to mkpasswd. Whether
17     passwords hashed using these algorithms will work depends on the system's
18 michael 1020 crypt() implementation. For example, SHA-256/512 is available in glibc since
19     version 2.7.
20 michael 991 o) Added ssl_server_protocol configuration option to servinfo{}.
21     Valid flags are 'sslv3' and 'tlsv1'
22     o) Added new 'server' option to listener::flags. Listener with that flag
23     set may only accept server connections.
24 michael 867 o) Fixed occasional core when placing RESVs on channel names
25 michael 878 o) Fixed topic desynchronization which sometimes may
26     happen during netbursts
27 michael 974 o) WATCH support implemented. Known from other irc-daemons, such
28 michael 1020 as Dreamforge and Bahamut. The general::max_watch configuration directive
29     has been added in order to allow run-time configuration of how many
30     watch entries a single client may have on its watchlist.
31 michael 883 o) Fixed bug which would cause invalid invisible counts on oper-up in case
32     operator::umodes and/or general::oper_umodes contains 'invisible'
33 michael 885 o) Removed broken LazyLinks
34 michael 991 o) Removed --disable-gline-voting configure option
35 michael 885 o) Minor code optimizations and cleanups
36 michael 887 o) ACCEPT now supports nick!user@host masks
37 michael 1065 o) Unregistered clients are no longer allowed to request the server's motd
38 michael 1072 o) general::dot_in_ip6_addr configuration option is obsolete and no longer exists
39 michael 1076 o) Dropped support for old style 'operflag = yes|no;' format
40 michael 867

48     o) Misc fixes to TESTMASK and TESTLINE
49     o) Added support for nick masks to TESTMASK
50     o) Fixed /modlist to show up whether or not a module is resident
51     o) Fixed command line arguments handling to allow more than one switch
