22 -- ircd-hybrid-7.3-rc1 Release Notes
23 o) Major 64-bit cleanups and portability fixes.
24 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 o) Various resolver improvements and fixes
35 o) Implemented GUNGLINE (global ungline)
36 o) Completely rewrote build system. We're now using automake and libtool
37 o) Added support for SHA-256/512 encrypted passwords to mkpasswd. Whether
38 passwords hashed using these algorithms will work depends on the system's
39 crypt() implementation. For example, SHA-256/512 is available in glibc since
40 version 2.7.
41 o) Added ssl_server_protocol configuration option to servinfo{}.
42 Valid flags are 'sslv3' and 'tlsv1'
43 o) Added new 'server' option to listener::flags. Listener with that flag
44 set may only accept server connections.
45 o) Fixed occasional core when placing RESVs on channel names
46 o) Fixed topic desynchronization which sometimes may
47 happen during netbursts
48 o) WATCH support implemented. Known from other irc-daemons, such
49 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 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 o) Removed broken LazyLinks
55 o) Removed --disable-gline-voting configure option
56 o) Minor code optimizations and cleanups
57 o) ACCEPT now supports nick!user@host masks
58 o) Unregistered clients are no longer allowed to request the server's motd
59 o) general::dot_in_ip6_addr configuration option is obsolete and no longer exists
60 o) Dropped support for old style 'operflag = yes|no;' format

68 o) Fixed CHALLENGE to work with user=IP
69 o) Misc fixes to TESTMASK and TESTLINE
70 o) Added support for nick masks to TESTMASK
71 o) Fixed /modlist to show up whether or not a module is resident

83 o) Reduced memory usage for channel members

85 for other operators and administrators
86 o) Ignore signal SIGXFSZ to prevent the daemon from dying on missconfigured
87 file size limits
88 o) Slight optimizations to the block allocator
89 o) Fixed harmless bug that could result in incorrect bytes sent statistics
90 in "STATS t"
91 o) "STATS y|Y" now shows whether a class is active or disabled
92 o) Added ircd-brazilian_pt.lang language file
93 o) Misc. ACCEPT fixes. E.g. don't remove an accept record if a client is
94 changing between equivalent nicknames like 'nick' and 'NiCk'.
