| 7 |
channelmode +r (registered channel). |
| 8 |

| 11 |

| 16 |
Read etc/example.conf for further explanation of what these flags |
| 17 |
are supposed to be doing. |
| 18 |

| 19 |

| 24 |

| 37 |
o) Major 64-bit cleanups and portability fixes. |
| 38 |
o) Fixed bug where unregistered clients were not able to complete registration |
| 39 |
process with /quote PONG <ping_cookie> in case the client was assigned a |
| 40 |
zero value ping-cookie. This may only happen with general::ping_cookie |
| 41 |
being enabled. |
| 42 |
o) "STATS z" now shows the actual amount of memory consumption being |
| 43 |
used by channel bans/excepts/invites. |

| 45 |
able to desync the network's nickname database. |

passwords hashed using these algorithms will work depends on the system's |

crypt() implementation. For example, SHA-256/512 is available in glibc since |
| 54 |
version 2.7. |
| 55 |
o) Added ssl_server_protocol configuration option to servinfo{}. |
| 56 |
Valid flags are 'sslv3' and 'tlsv1' |

| 61 |
happen during netbursts |

| 63 |
as Dreamforge and Bahamut. The general::max_watch configuration directive |
| 64 |
has been added in order to allow run-time configuration of how many |
| 65 |
watch entries a single client may have on its watchlist. |
| 66 |
