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47 o) general::dot_in_ip6_addr configuration option is obsolete and no longer exists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

56 o) Fixed CHALLENGE to work with user=IP
57 o) Misc fixes to TESTMASK and TESTLINE
58 o) Added support for nick masks to TESTMASK
59 o) Fixed /modlist to show up whether or not a module is resident

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