--- ircd-hybrid-7.2.4 RELNOTES
+-- ircd-hybrid-7.3 RELNOTES
+o) Major 64-bit cleanups and portability fixes.
+o) Fixed bug where unregistered clients were not able to complete registration
+   process with /quote PONG <ping_cookie> in case the client was assigned a
+   zero value ping-cookie. This may only happen with general::ping_cookie
+   being enabled.
+o) "STATS z" now shows the actual amount of memory consumption being
+   used by channel bans/excepts/invites.
+o) Fixed archaic bug where bursting servers with missconfigured NICKLEN were
+   able to desync the network's nickname database.
+o) The PCRE library has been removed from the ircd sources. ./configure will
+   now automatically detect an already installed version of the PCRE library.
+o) Various resolver improvements and fixes
+o) Implemented GUNGLINE (global ungline)
+o) Completely rewrote build system. We're now using automake and libtool
+o) Added support for SHA-256/512 encrypted passwords to mkpasswd. Whether
+   passwords hashed using these algorithms will work depends on the system's
+   crypt() implementation. For example, SHA-256/512 is available in glibc since
+   version 2.7.
+o) Added ssl_server_protocol configuration option to servinfo{}.
+   Valid flags are 'sslv3' and 'tlsv1'
+o) Added new 'server' option to listener::flags. Listener with that flag
+   set may only accept server connections.
 o) Fixed occasional core when placing RESVs on channel names
-o) Fixed topic desyncs during netbursts
-o) Implemented WATCH command
+o) Fixed topic desynchronization which sometimes may
+   happen during netbursts
+o) WATCH support implemented. Known from other irc-daemons, such
+   as Dreamforge and Bahamut. The general::max_watch configuration directive
+   has been added in order to allow run-time configuration of how many
+   watch entries a single client may have on its watchlist.
+o) Fixed bug which would cause invalid invisible counts on oper-up in case
+   operator::umodes and/or general::oper_umodes contains 'invisible'
+o) Removed broken LazyLinks
+o) Removed --disable-gline-voting configure option
+o) Minor code optimizations and cleanups
+o) ACCEPT now supports nick!user@host masks
