# Line 1 | Line 1
1 < -- ircd-hybrid-7.3.0 Release Notes
2 < o) Added Bulgarian language file provided by Borislav Borisov
3 < o) Server hostmasking has been removed due to TS6 requirements
4 < o) Fixed broken IPv6 detection
5 < o) Minor code optimizations. Reduced memory consumption
6 < o) User IDs are now shown in client connection notices
7 <
8 < -- ircd-hybrid-7.3-rc1 Release Notes
9 < o) Major 64-bit cleanups and portability fixes.
10 < o) Fixed bug where unregistered clients were not able to complete registration
11 <   process with /quote PONG <ping_cookie> in case the client was assigned a
12 <   zero value ping-cookie. This may only happen with general::ping_cookie
13 <   being enabled.
14 < o) "STATS z" now shows the actual amount of memory consumption being
15 <   used by channel bans/excepts/invites.
16 < o) Fixed archaic bug where bursting servers with missconfigured NICKLEN were
17 <   able to desync the network's nickname database.
18 < o) The PCRE library has been removed from the ircd sources. ./configure will
19 <   now automatically detect an already installed version of the PCRE library.
20 < o) Various resolver improvements and fixes
21 < o) Implemented GUNGLINE (global ungline)
22 < o) Completely rewrote build system. We're now using automake and libtool
23 < o) Added support for SHA-256/512 encrypted passwords to mkpasswd. Whether
24 <   passwords hashed using these algorithms will work depends on the system's
25 <   crypt() implementation. For example, SHA-256/512 is available in glibc since
26 <   version 2.7.
27 < o) Added ssl_server_protocol configuration option to servinfo{}.
28 <   Valid flags are 'sslv3' and 'tlsv1'
29 < o) Added new 'server' option to listener::flags. Listener with that flag
30 <   set may only accept server connections.
31 < o) Fixed occasional core when placing RESVs on channel names
32 < o) Fixed topic desynchronization which sometimes may
33 <   happen during netbursts
34 < o) WATCH support implemented. Known from other irc-daemons, such
35 <   as Dreamforge and Bahamut. The general::max_watch configuration directive
36 <   has been added in order to allow run-time configuration of how many
37 <   watch entries a single client may have on its watchlist.
38 < o) Fixed bug which would cause invalid invisible counts on oper-up in case
39 <   operator::umodes and/or general::oper_umodes contains 'invisible'
40 < o) Removed broken LazyLinks
41 < o) Removed --disable-gline-voting configure option
42 < o) Minor code optimizations and cleanups
43 < o) ACCEPT now supports nick!user@host masks
44 < o) Unregistered clients are no longer allowed to request the server's motd
45 < o) general::dot_in_ip6_addr configuration option is obsolete and no longer exists
46 < o) Dropped support for old style 'operflag = yes|no;' format
47 <
48 <
49 < -- ircd-hybrid-7.2.3 Release Notes
50 < o) Added ircd-italian.lang language file
51 < o) Added -full to etrace
52 < o) Added +C for opers
53 < o) Fixed core in temp channel resv
54 < o) Fixed CHALLENGE to work with user=IP
55 < o) Misc fixes to TESTMASK and TESTLINE
56 < o) Added support for nick masks to TESTMASK
57 < o) Fixed /modlist to show up whether or not a module is resident
58 < o) Fixed command line arguments handling to allow more than one switch
59 < o) Fixed numeric delivery for mixed TS5 target on the other side of a TS6 server.
60 <
61 <
62 < -- ircd-hybrid-7.2.2 Release Notes
63 < o) Added channel::disable_fake_channels config directive
64 < o) Fixed broken FORCEJOIN  (contrib)
65 < o) Added missing documentation for connect::vhost
66 < o) Fixed problem with G-Line voting
67 < o) Fixed "STATS ?" so it doesn't report negative traffic statistics
68 < o) Fixed core in m_mkpasswd.c  (contrib)
69 < o) Reduced memory usage for channel members
70 < o) Added general::stats_e_disabled which simply disables "STATS e"
71 <   for other operators and administrators
72 < o) Ignore signal SIGXFSZ to prevent the daemon from dying on missconfigured
73 <   file size limits
74 < o) Slight optimizations to the block allocator
75 < o) Fixed harmless bug that could result in incorrect bytes sent statistics
76 <   in "STATS t"
77 < o) "STATS y|Y" now shows whether a class is active or disabled
78 < o) Added ircd-brazilian_pt.lang language file
79 < o) Misc. ACCEPT fixes. E.g. don't remove an accept record if a client is
80 <   changing between equivalent nicknames like 'nick' and 'NiCk'.
81 < o) Minor resolv.conf parser fixes.  Added missing support for ';' comments
82 < o) Fixed core on MODRESTART
