14 >   bans should only be added via ircd.conf
15 > o) Added 'globops', 'restart' and 'module' operator privilege flags.
16 >   Read etc/example.conf for further explanation of what these flags
17 >   are supposed to be doing.

23 > o) Added Bulgarian language file provided by Borislav Borisov

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
