1 < -- ircd-hybrid-7.2rc2 RELNOTES
1 > -- ircd-hybrid-7.3-rc1 RELNOTES
2 > o) Major 64-bit cleanups and portability fixes.
3 > 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 > o) Various resolver improvements and fixes
14 > o) Implemented GUNGLINE (global ungline)
15 > o) Completely rewrote build system. We're now using automake and libtool
16 > 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 >   crypt() implementation. For example, SHA-256/512 is available in glibc since
19 >   version 2.7.
20 > 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 > o) Fixed occasional core when placing RESVs on channel names
25 > o) Fixed topic desynchronization which sometimes may
26 >   happen during netbursts
27 > o) WATCH support implemented. Known from other irc-daemons, such
28 >   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 > 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 > o) Removed broken LazyLinks
34 > o) Removed --disable-gline-voting configure option
35 > o) Minor code optimizations and cleanups
36 > o) ACCEPT now supports nick!user@host masks
37 >

41 > o) Added -full to etrace
42 > o) Added +C for opers
43 > o) Fixed core in temp channel resv
44 > o) Fixed CHALLENGE to work with user=IP
45 > o) Misc fixes to TESTMASK and TESTLINE
46 > o) Added support for nick masks to TESTMASK
47 > o) Fixed /modlist to show up whether or not a module is resident
48 > o) Fixed command line arguments handling to allow more than one switch
49 > o) Fixed numeric delivery for mixed TS5 target on the other side of a TS6 server.

57 > o) Fixed "STATS ?" so it doesn't report negative traffic statistics
58 > o) Fixed core in m_mkpasswd.c  (contrib)
59 > o) Reduced memory usage for channel members
60 > o) Added general::stats_e_disabled which simply disables "STATS e"
61 >   for other operators and administrators
62 > o) Ignore signal SIGXFSZ to prevent the daemon from dying on missconfigured
63 >   file size limits
64 > o) Slight optimizations to the block allocator
65 > o) Fixed harmless bug that could result in incorrect bytes sent statistics
66 >   in "STATS t"
67 > o) "STATS y|Y" now shows whether a class is active or disabled
68 > o) Added ircd-brazilian_pt.lang language file
69 > o) Misc. ACCEPT fixes. E.g. don't remove an accept record if a client is
70 >   changing between equivalent nicknames like 'nick' and 'NiCk'.
71 > o) Minor resolv.conf parser fixes.  Added missing support for ';' comments
72 > o) Fixed core on MODRESTART
