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