# 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 < o) Increased maximum temporary kline time to 360 days
8 < o) Added back STATS/TRACE/MOTD/ADMIN request notices. Removed
9 <   spy_*_notice modules accordingly.
10 < o) Channelmode +O; channel can be joined by ircops only.
11 < o) Channelmode +S; only clients with a secure connection (ssl/tls)
12 <   can join this channel.
13 <
14 <
15 < -- ircd-hybrid-7.3-rc1 Release Notes
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
49 < o) Minor code optimizations and cleanups
50 < o) ACCEPT now supports nick!user@host masks
51 < o) Unregistered clients are no longer allowed to request the server's motd
52 < o) general::dot_in_ip6_addr configuration option is obsolete and no longer exists
53 < o) Dropped support for old style 'operflag = yes|no;' format
54 <
55 <
56 < -- ircd-hybrid-7.2.3 Release Notes
57 < o) Added ircd-italian.lang language file
58 < o) Added -full to etrace
59 < o) Added +C for opers
60 < o) Fixed core in temp channel resv
61 < o) Fixed CHALLENGE to work with user=IP
62 < o) Misc fixes to TESTMASK and TESTLINE
63 < o) Added support for nick masks to TESTMASK
64 < o) Fixed /modlist to show up whether or not a module is resident
65 < o) Fixed command line arguments handling to allow more than one switch
66 < o) Fixed numeric delivery for mixed TS5 target on the other side of a TS6 server.
67 <
68 <
69 < -- ircd-hybrid-7.2.2 Release Notes
70 < o) Added channel::disable_fake_channels config directive
71 < o) Fixed broken FORCEJOIN  (contrib)
72 < o) Added missing documentation for connect::vhost
73 < o) Fixed problem with G-Line voting
74 < o) Fixed "STATS ?" so it doesn't report negative traffic statistics
75 < o) Fixed core in m_mkpasswd.c  (contrib)
76 < o) Reduced memory usage for channel members
77 < o) Added general::stats_e_disabled which simply disables "STATS e"
78 <   for other operators and administrators
79 < o) Ignore signal SIGXFSZ to prevent the daemon from dying on missconfigured
80 <   file size limits
81 < o) Slight optimizations to the block allocator
82 < o) Fixed harmless bug that could result in incorrect bytes sent statistics
83 <   in "STATS t"
84 < o) "STATS y|Y" now shows whether a class is active or disabled
85 < o) Added ircd-brazilian_pt.lang language file
86 < o) Misc. ACCEPT fixes. E.g. don't remove an accept record if a client is
87 <   changing between equivalent nicknames like 'nick' and 'NiCk'.
88 < o) Minor resolv.conf parser fixes.  Added missing support for ';' comments
89 < o) Fixed core on MODRESTART

102 <   been reduced for remote clients
103 < o) Fixed possible core in case default_cipher_preference directive isn't set
104 < o) Fixed "CHANSERV INVITE" bug with anope services

376 >   only be added via ircd.conf

378 >   privilege flags. Read doc/reference.conf for further explanation of what
379 >   these flags control

386 > o) Added support for remote D-lines

389 >   be hidden even on remote servers
390 > o) Added CIDR support for operator{} blocks
391 > o) Removed the servlink program. ircd-hybrid can now make use of
392 >   SSL/TLS for inter-server communication.
393 >   NOTE: compressed server links are of course still available, but a SSL/TLS
394 >   connection is required, as compression is now handled via OpenSSL
395 > o) Removed 'ssl_server_protocol' configuration directive and
396 >   added 'ssl_client_method' and 'ssl_server_method' instead.
397 >   Both of these options can now be changed at runtime
