1 < -- ircd-hybrid-7.2 RELNOTES
1 > -- ircd-hybrid-7.3-rc1 Release Notes
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
