-<
+-- ircd-hybrid-7.2.2 RELNOTES
->
+-- ircd-hybrid-8.0 Release Notes
->
+o) Implemented full services support. Among other things, the following changes
->
+   have been done for this:
->
+   - Added SVSNICK, and SVSMODE command handlers
->
+   - Added service stamps to NICK/UID messages
->
+   - Usermode +r (registered nick) has been added, as well as
->
+     channelmode +r (registered channel).
->
+   - Various services shortcuts have been added (/NS, /CS, /NICKSERV, /CHANSERV, etc.)
->
+   - Added channelmode +R (only registered clients may join that channel)
->
+   - Added usermode +R (only registered clients may send a private message)
->
+   - Added services{} block to ircd.conf
->
+   - Added services_name directive to general{} block
->
+o) RKLINE and RXLINE commands have been removed. Regular expression based
->
+   bans should only be added via ircd.conf
->
+o) Added 'globops', 'restart' and 'module' operator privilege flags.
->
+   Read etc/example.conf for further explanation of what these flags
->
+   are supposed to be doing.
->
+o) Idle-time klines have been removed
->
+o) Cleaned up modules API. Old modules won't work anymore
->
->
->
+-- ircd-hybrid-7.3.0 Release Notes
->
+o) Added Bulgarian language file provided by Borislav Borisov
->
+o) Server hostmasking has been removed due to TS6 requirements
->
+o) Fixed broken IPv6 detection
->
+o) Minor code optimizations. Reduced memory consumption
->
+o) User IDs are now shown in client connection notices
->
+o) Increased maximum temporary kline time to 360 days
->
+o) Added back STATS/TRACE/MOTD/ADMIN request notices. Removed
->
+   spy_*_notice modules accordingly.
->
+o) Channelmode +O; channel can be joined by ircops only.
->
+o) Channelmode +S; only clients with a secure connection (ssl/tls)
->
+   can join this channel.
->
->
->
+-- ircd-hybrid-7.3-rc1 Release Notes
->
+o) Major 64-bit cleanups and portability fixes.
->
+o) Fixed bug where unregistered clients were not able to complete registration
->
+   process with /quote PONG <ping_cookie> in case the client was assigned a
->
+   zero value ping-cookie. This may only happen with general::ping_cookie
->
+   being enabled.
->
+o) "STATS z" now shows the actual amount of memory consumption being
->
+   used by channel bans/excepts/invites.
->
+o) Fixed archaic bug where bursting servers with missconfigured NICKLEN were
->
+   able to desync the network's nickname database.
->
+o) The PCRE library has been removed from the ircd sources. ./configure will
->
+   now automatically detect an already installed version of the PCRE library.
->
+o) Various resolver improvements and fixes
->
+o) Implemented GUNGLINE (global ungline)
->
+o) Completely rewrote build system. We're now using automake and libtool
->
+o) Added support for SHA-256/512 encrypted passwords to mkpasswd. Whether
->
+   passwords hashed using these algorithms will work depends on the system's
->
+   crypt() implementation. For example, SHA-256/512 is available in glibc since
->
+   version 2.7.
->
+o) Added ssl_server_protocol configuration option to servinfo{}.
->
+   Valid flags are 'sslv3' and 'tlsv1'
->
+o) Added new 'server' option to listener::flags. Listener with that flag
->
+   set may only accept server connections.
->
+o) Fixed occasional core when placing RESVs on channel names
->
+o) Fixed topic desynchronization which sometimes may
->
+   happen during netbursts
->
+o) WATCH support implemented. Known from other irc-daemons, such
->
+   as Dreamforge and Bahamut. The general::max_watch configuration directive
->
+   has been added in order to allow run-time configuration of how many
->
+   watch entries a single client may have on its watchlist.
->
+o) Fixed bug which would cause invalid invisible counts on oper-up in case
->
+   operator::umodes and/or general::oper_umodes contains 'invisible'
->
+o) Removed broken LazyLinks
->
+o) Removed --disable-gline-voting configure option
->
+o) Minor code optimizations and cleanups
->
+o) ACCEPT now supports nick!user@host masks
->
+o) Unregistered clients are no longer allowed to request the server's motd
