1 michael 1131 -- ircd-hybrid-7.3.0 Release Notes
2 michael 1130 o) Added Bulgarian language file provided by Borislav Borisov
3     o) Server hostmasking has been removed due to TS6 requirements
4     o) Fixed broken IPv6 detection
5     o) Minor code optimizations. Reduced memory consumption

7 michael 1130
8 lusky 1060 -- ircd-hybrid-7.3-rc1 Release Notes
9 michael 1020 o) Major 64-bit cleanups and portability fixes.
10 michael 1018 o) Fixed bug where unregistered clients were not able to complete registration
11     process with /quote PONG <ping_cookie> in case the client was assigned a
12     zero value ping-cookie. This may only happen with general::ping_cookie
13     being enabled.
14     o) "STATS z" now shows the actual amount of memory consumption being
15     used by channel bans/excepts/invites.
16     o) Fixed archaic bug where bursting servers with missconfigured NICKLEN were
17     able to desync the network's nickname database.
18     o) The PCRE library has been removed from the ircd sources. ./configure will
19     now automatically detect an already installed version of the PCRE library.
20 michael 991 o) Various resolver improvements and fixes
21     o) Implemented GUNGLINE (global ungline)
22 michael 1018 o) Completely rewrote build system. We're now using automake and libtool
23 michael 1025 o) Added support for SHA-256/512 encrypted passwords to mkpasswd. Whether
24     passwords hashed using these algorithms will work depends on the system's
25 michael 1020 crypt() implementation. For example, SHA-256/512 is available in glibc since
26     version 2.7.
27 michael 991 o) Added ssl_server_protocol configuration option to servinfo{}.
28     Valid flags are 'sslv3' and 'tlsv1'

30     set may only accept server connections.
31 michael 867 o) Fixed occasional core when placing RESVs on channel names
32 michael 878 o) Fixed topic desynchronization which sometimes may
33     happen during netbursts
34 michael 974 o) WATCH support implemented. Known from other irc-daemons, such
35 michael 1020 as Dreamforge and Bahamut. The general::max_watch configuration directive
36     has been added in order to allow run-time configuration of how many
37     watch entries a single client may have on its watchlist.
38 michael 883 o) Fixed bug which would cause invalid invisible counts on oper-up in case
39     operator::umodes and/or general::oper_umodes contains 'invisible'
40 michael 885 o) Removed broken LazyLinks
41 michael 991 o) Removed --disable-gline-voting configure option
42 michael 885 o) Minor code optimizations and cleanups
