-- ircd-hybrid-7.3-rc1 Release Notes |
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' |

23 |
set may only accept server connections. |

26 |
happen during netbursts |
27 |

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 |
