16 > o) Major 64-bit cleanups and portability fixes.
17 > o) Fixed bug where unregistered clients were not able to complete registration
18 >   process with /quote PONG <ping_cookie> in case the client was assigned a
19 >   zero value ping-cookie. This may only happen with general::ping_cookie
20 >   being enabled.
21 > o) "STATS z" now shows the actual amount of memory consumption being
22 >   used by channel bans/excepts/invites.
23 > o) Fixed archaic bug where bursting servers with missconfigured NICKLEN were
24 >   able to desync the network's nickname database.
25 > o) The PCRE library has been removed from the ircd sources. ./configure will
26 >   now automatically detect an already installed version of the PCRE library.
27 > o) Various resolver improvements and fixes
28 > o) Implemented GUNGLINE (global ungline)
29 > o) Completely rewrote build system. We're now using automake and libtool
30 > o) Added support for SHA-256/512 encrypted passwords to mkpasswd. Whether
31 >   passwords hashed using these algorithms will work depends on the system's
32 >   crypt() implementation. For example, SHA-256/512 is available in glibc since
33 >   version 2.7.
34 > o) Added ssl_server_protocol configuration option to servinfo{}.
35 >   Valid flags are 'sslv3' and 'tlsv1'
36 > o) Added new 'server' option to listener::flags. Listener with that flag
37 >   set may only accept server connections.
38 > o) Fixed occasional core when placing RESVs on channel names
39 > o) Fixed topic desynchronization which sometimes may
40 >   happen during netbursts
41 > o) WATCH support implemented. Known from other irc-daemons, such
42 >   as Dreamforge and Bahamut. The general::max_watch configuration directive
43 >   has been added in order to allow run-time configuration of how many
44 >   watch entries a single client may have on its watchlist.
45 > o) Fixed bug which would cause invalid invisible counts on oper-up in case
46 >   operator::umodes and/or general::oper_umodes contains 'invisible'
47 > o) Removed broken LazyLinks
48 > o) Removed --disable-gline-voting configure option
