23 michael 1020 o) Major 64-bit cleanups and portability fixes.
24 michael 1018 o) Fixed bug where unregistered clients were not able to complete registration
25     process with /quote PONG <ping_cookie> in case the client was assigned a
26     zero value ping-cookie. This may only happen with general::ping_cookie
27     being enabled.
28     o) "STATS z" now shows the actual amount of memory consumption being
29     used by channel bans/excepts/invites.
30     o) Fixed archaic bug where bursting servers with missconfigured NICKLEN were
31     able to desync the network's nickname database.
32     o) The PCRE library has been removed from the ircd sources. ./configure will
33     now automatically detect an already installed version of the PCRE library.
34 michael 991 o) Various resolver improvements and fixes
35     o) Implemented GUNGLINE (global ungline)
36 michael 1018 o) Completely rewrote build system. We're now using automake and libtool

39 michael 1020 crypt() implementation. For example, SHA-256/512 is available in glibc since
40     version 2.7.
41 michael 991 o) Added ssl_server_protocol configuration option to servinfo{}.
42     Valid flags are 'sslv3' and 'tlsv1'

44     set may only accept server connections.

46 michael 878 o) Fixed topic desynchronization which sometimes may
47     happen during netbursts

49 michael 1020 as Dreamforge and Bahamut. The general::max_watch configuration directive
50     has been added in order to allow run-time configuration of how many
51     watch entries a single client may have on its watchlist.
52 michael 883 o) Fixed bug which would cause invalid invisible counts on oper-up in case
53     operator::umodes and/or general::oper_umodes contains 'invisible'
54 michael 885 o) Removed broken LazyLinks
