# 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 <
74 <
75 < -- ircd-hybrid-7.2.1 RELNOTES
76 < o) Fixed build on SRV4
77 < o) Fixed problem where ircd would disconnect all SSL connections
78 < o) Added initial CAP support.  Additional documentation can be found
79 <   in doc/technical
80 < o) Speeded up command parsing
81 < o) Fixed occasional core dump on UN*LINE
82 < o) Fixed bug where particular clients would always receive
83 <   "Load is temporarily too heavy" message
84 < o) Improved memory consumption, i.e. memory consumption has
85 <   been reduced for remote clients
86 < o) Fixed possible core in case default_cipher_preference directive isn't set
87 < o) Fixed "CHANSERV INVITE" bug with anope services
88 < o) Updated example configuration files to reflect new topicburst flags
89 <   directive in connect{} blocks
90 < o) Fixed core if using the operator::umodes directive
91 < o) Don't allow shared k-lines to be set without a valid reason
92 < o) Improved channel ban match processing.  This also fixes CIDR bans
93 <
94 <

96 < o) Fixed broken operwall = yes;
97 < o) Added 'umode' directive to oper{}.  List of modes to get on /OPER.
98 <   This behaves exactly like H6's sixth O line field
99 < o) Fixed a WHOIS bug
100 < o) Fixed bug where we would increase Count.invisi even
101 <   if general::invisible_on_connect is turned off
102 < o) Removed invite_ops_only, controlled by paranoid (+p) now
103 < o) Better DDoS protection

825 >   - Added SVSNICK, and SVSMODE command handlers

828 >     deal with extended NICK/UID messages that contain service IDs/stamps.
829 >   - Changed rejected client notices to go to new usermode +j.  These
830 >     previously used usermode +r.
831 >   - Added usermode +r (registered nick) and channelmode +r (registered channel)
832 >   - Added usermode +R (only registered clients may send a private message)
833 >   - Added channelmode +R (only registered clients may join that channel)
834 >   - Various services shortcuts have been added (/NS, /CS, /NICKSERV, /CHANSERV, etc.)
835 >   - Added services {} block to ircd.conf
836 >   - Added services_name directive to general {} block
837 >   - Added GLOBOPS mainly for services compatibility, but can be used by operators, too
838 > o) Removed RKLINE and RXLINE commands. Regular expression based bans should
839 >   only be added via ircd.conf
840 > o) Added 'globops', 'restart', 'dline', 'undline' and 'module' operator
841 >   privilege flags. Read doc/reference.conf for further explanation of what
842 >   these flags control
843 > o) Removed Idle-time klines
844 > o) Cleaned up modules API. Old modules won't work anymore

848 >   file sizes. Log timestamp format is ISO8601 now
849 > o) Added support for remote D-lines

851 >   hidden_oper operator flags. With usermode +H, irc operator status can now
852 >   be hidden even on remote servers
853 > o) Added CIDR support for operator {} blocks
854 > o) Removed the servlink program. ircd-hybrid can now make use of
855 >   SSL/TLS for inter-server communication.
856 >   NOTE: compressed server links are of course still available, but a SSL/TLS
857 >   connection is required, as compression is now handled via OpenSSL
858 > o) Removed 'ssl_server_protocol' configuration directive and
859 >   added 'ssl_client_method' and 'ssl_server_method' instead.
860 >   Both of these options can now be changed at runtime
861 > o) Oper login IDs are no longer limited to NICKLEN*2

866 > o) Overall code cleanup and speed improvements
