# Line 1 | Line 1
1 + -- 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.
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'
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 + o) Removed --disable-gline-voting configure option
35 + o) Minor code optimizations and cleanups
36 + o) ACCEPT now supports nick!user@host masks
37 +
38 +
39 + -- ircd-hybrid-7.2.3 RELNOTES
40 + o) Added ircd-italian.lang language file
41 + o) Added -full to etrace
42 + o) Added +C for opers
43 + o) Fixed core in temp channel resv
44 + o) Fixed CHALLENGE to work with user=IP
45 + o) Misc fixes to TESTMASK and TESTLINE
46 + o) Added support for nick masks to TESTMASK
47 + o) Fixed /modlist to show up whether or not a module is resident
48 + o) Fixed command line arguments handling to allow more than one switch
49 + o) Fixed numeric delivery for mixed TS5 target on the other side of a TS6 server.
50 +
51 +
52 + -- ircd-hybrid-7.2.2 RELNOTES
53 + o) Added channel::disable_fake_channels config directive
54 + o) Fixed broken FORCEJOIN  (contrib)
55 + o) Added missing documentation for connect::vhost
56 + o) Fixed problem with G-Line voting
57 + o) Fixed "STATS ?" so it doesn't report negative traffic statistics
58 + o) Fixed core in m_mkpasswd.c  (contrib)
59 + o) Reduced memory usage for channel members
60 + o) Added general::stats_e_disabled which simply disables "STATS e"
61 +   for other operators and administrators
62 + o) Ignore signal SIGXFSZ to prevent the daemon from dying on missconfigured
63 +   file size limits
64 + o) Slight optimizations to the block allocator
65 + o) Fixed harmless bug that could result in incorrect bytes sent statistics
66 +   in "STATS t"
67 + o) "STATS y|Y" now shows whether a class is active or disabled
68 + o) Added ircd-brazilian_pt.lang language file
69 + o) Misc. ACCEPT fixes. E.g. don't remove an accept record if a client is
70 +   changing between equivalent nicknames like 'nick' and 'NiCk'.
71 + o) Minor resolv.conf parser fixes.  Added missing support for ';' comments
72 + o) Fixed core on MODRESTART
73 +
