-- ircd-hybrid-7.3-rc1 RELNOTES |
| 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. |

< |
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' |
| 22 |
< |
o) Added new 'server' option to listener::flags. Listener with that flag |
| 23 |
< |
set may only accept server connections. |
| 24 |
< |
o) Fixed occasional core when placing RESVs on channel names |
| 25 |
< |
o) Fixed topic desynchronization which sometimes may |
| 26 |
< |
happen during netbursts |
| 27 |
< |
o) WATCH support implemented. Known from other irc-daemons, such |
| 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 |
< |
o) Removed broken LazyLinks |
| 34 |

| 52 |
> |
following changes: |
| 53 |
> |
- Added SVSNICK, and SVSMODE command handlers |
| 54 |
> |
- Added service stamps to NICK/UID messages |
| 55 |
> |
- Added SVS to server capabilities (CAPAB). SVS capable servers can |
| 56 |
> |
deal with extended NICK/UID messages that contain service IDs/stamps. |
| 57 |
> |
- Changed rejected client notices to go to new usermode +j. These |
| 58 |
> |
previously used usermode +r. |
| 59 |
> |
- Added usermode +r (registered nick) and channelmode +r (registered channel) |
| 60 |
> |
- Added usermode +R (only registered clients may send a private message) |
| 61 |
> |
- Added channelmode +R (only registered clients may join that channel) |
| 62 |
> |
- Various services shortcuts have been added (/NS, /CS, /NICKSERV, /CHANSERV, etc.) |
| 63 |
> |
- Added services{} block to ircd.conf |
| 64 |
> |
- Added services_name directive to general{} block |
| 65 |
> |
- Added GLOBOPS mainly for services compatibility, but can be used by operators, too |
| 66 |
> |
o) Removed RKLINE and RXLINE commands. Regular expression based bans should |
| 67 |
> |
only be added via ircd.conf |
| 68 |
> |
o) Added 'globops', 'restart', 'dline', 'undline' and 'module' operator |
| 69 |
> |
privilege flags. Read doc/example.conf for further explanation of what |
| 70 |
> |
these flags control |
| 71 |
> |
o) Removed Idle-time klines |
| 72 |
> |
o) Cleaned up modules API. Old modules won't work anymore |
| 73 |
> |
o) Removed general::burst_away configuration directive. AWAY bursts are now |
| 74 |
> |
controlled via connect::flags explicitly |
| 75 |
> |
o) Introduced new logging subsystem including log rotation based on |
| 76 |
> |
file sizes. Log timestamp format is ISO8601 now |
| 77 |
> |
o) Added support for remote D-lines |
| 78 |
> |
o) Added usermode +H which is basically a replacement for the hidden_admin and |
| 79 |
> |
hidden_oper operator flags. With usermode +H, irc operator status can now |
| 80 |
> |
be hidden even on remote servers |
| 81 |
> |
o) Added CIDR support for operator{} blocks |
| 82 |
> |
o) Removed the servlink program. ircd-hybrid can now make use of |
| 83 |
> |
SSL/TLS for inter-server communication. |
| 84 |
> |
NOTE: compressed server links are of course still available, but a SSL/TLS |
| 85 |
> |
connection is required, as compression is now handled via OpenSSL |
| 86 |
> |
o) Removed 'ssl_server_protocol' configuration directive and |
| 87 |
> |
added 'ssl_client_method' and 'ssl_server_method' instead. |
| 88 |
> |
Both of these options can now be changed at runtime |
| 89 |
> |
o) Oper login IDs are no longer limited to NICKLEN*2 |
| 90 |
> |
o) Removed channel::burst_topicwho configuration option. Topicsetters are |
| 91 |
> |
now sent by default |
| 92 |
> |
o) "STATS Y|y" now reports CIDR limits as well |
| 93 |
> |
o) Added m_webirc.c to contrib/ |
| 94 |
> |
o) Overall code cleanup and speed improvements |
