22 -- ircd-hybrid-7.3.0 Release Notes
23 o) Added Bulgarian language file provided by Borislav Borisov
24 o) Server hostmasking has been removed due to TS6 requirements
25 o) Fixed broken IPv6 detection
26 o) Minor code optimizations. Reduced memory consumption
27 o) User IDs are now shown in client connection notices
28 o) Increased maximum temporary kline time to 360 days
29 o) Added back STATS/TRACE/MOTD/ADMIN request notices. Removed
30   spy_*_notice modules accordingly.

32 o) Channelmode +S; only clients with a secure connection (ssl/tls)
33   can join this channel.
34
35
36 -- ircd-hybrid-7.3-rc1 Release Notes
37 o) Major 64-bit cleanups and portability fixes.
38 o) Fixed bug where unregistered clients were not able to complete registration
39   process with /quote PONG <ping_cookie> in case the client was assigned a
40   zero value ping-cookie. This may only happen with general::ping_cookie
41   being enabled.
42 o) "STATS z" now shows the actual amount of memory consumption being
43   used by channel bans/excepts/invites.
44 o) Fixed archaic bug where bursting servers with missconfigured NICKLEN were
45   able to desync the network's nickname database.
46 o) The PCRE library has been removed from the ircd sources. ./configure will
47   now automatically detect an already installed version of the PCRE library.
48 o) Various resolver improvements and fixes
49 o) Implemented GUNGLINE (global ungline)
50 o) Completely rewrote build system. We're now using automake and libtool
51 o) Added support for SHA-256/512 encrypted passwords to mkpasswd. Whether
52   passwords hashed using these algorithms will work depends on the system's
53   crypt() implementation. For example, SHA-256/512 is available in glibc since
54   version 2.7.
55 o) Added ssl_server_protocol configuration option to servinfo{}.
56   Valid flags are 'sslv3' and 'tlsv1'
57 o) Added new 'server' option to listener::flags. Listener with that flag
58   set may only accept server connections.
59 o) Fixed occasional core when placing RESVs on channel names
60 o) Fixed topic desynchronization which sometimes may
61   happen during netbursts
62 o) WATCH support implemented. Known from other irc-daemons, such
63   as Dreamforge and Bahamut. The general::max_watch configuration directive
64   has been added in order to allow run-time configuration of how many
65   watch entries a single client may have on its watchlist.
66 o) Fixed bug which would cause invalid invisible counts on oper-up in case
67   operator::umodes and/or general::oper_umodes contains 'invisible'
68 o) Removed broken LazyLinks
69 o) Removed --disable-gline-voting configure option
70 o) Minor code optimizations and cleanups
71 o) ACCEPT now supports nick!user@host masks
72 o) Unregistered clients are no longer allowed to request the server's motd
73 o) general::dot_in_ip6_addr configuration option is obsolete and no longer exists
74 o) Dropped support for old style 'operflag = yes|no;' format
