| 9 |
< |
spy_*_notice modules accordingly. |
| 10 |

< |
o) Major 64-bit cleanups and portability fixes. |
| 17 |
< |
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 |
< |

| 22 |
< |
used by channel bans/excepts/invites. |

| 31 |
< |
passwords hashed using these algorithms will work depends on the system's |
| 32 |
< |
crypt() implementation. For example, SHA-256/512 is available in glibc since |
| 33 |
< |
version 2.7. |
| 34 |

| 39 |
< |
o) Fixed topic desynchronization which sometimes may |
| 40 |
< |
happen during netbursts |
| 41 |

| 44 |
< |
watch entries a single client may have on its watchlist. |

- Added SVSNICK, and SVSMODE command handlers |

> |
- Added SVS to server capabilities (CAPAB). SVS capable servers can |
| 135 |
> |
deal with extended NICK/UID messages that contain service IDs/stamps. |
| 136 |
> |
- Changed rejected client notices to go to new usermode +j. These |
| 137 |
> |
previously used usermode +r. |
| 138 |
> |
- Added usermode +r (registered nick) and channelmode +r (registered channel) |
| 139 |

| 153 |
> |
controlled via connect::flags explicitly |
| 154 |
> |
o) Introduced new logging subsystem including log rotation based on |
| 155 |
> |
file sizes. Log timestamp format is ISO8601 now |
| 156 |
> |
o) Added support for remote D-lines |
| 157 |
> |
o) Added usermode +H which is basically a replacement for the hidden_admin and |

> |
hidden_oper operator flags. With usermode +H, irc operator status can now |
| 159 |
> |
be hidden even on remote servers |

SSL/TLS for inter-server communication. |
