-- ircd-hybrid-7.3-rc1 Release Notes |
9 |
o) Major 64-bit cleanups and portability fixes. |
10 |
o) Fixed bug where unregistered clients were not able to complete registration |
11 |
process with /quote PONG <ping_cookie> in case the client was assigned a |
12 |
zero value ping-cookie. This may only happen with general::ping_cookie |
13 |
being enabled. |
14 |
o) "STATS z" now shows the actual amount of memory consumption being |
15 |
used by channel bans/excepts/invites. |
16 |
o) Fixed archaic bug where bursting servers with missconfigured NICKLEN were |
17 |
able to desync the network's nickname database. |

19 |
now automatically detect an already installed version of the PCRE library. |
20 |

24 |
passwords hashed using these algorithms will work depends on the system's |
25 |
crypt() implementation. For example, SHA-256/512 is available in glibc since |
26 |
version 2.7. |
27 |
o) Added ssl_server_protocol configuration option to servinfo{}. |
28 |
Valid flags are 'sslv3' and 'tlsv1' |

30 |
set may only accept server connections. |

32 |

33 |
happen during netbursts |
34 |

35 |
as Dreamforge and Bahamut. The general::max_watch configuration directive |
36 |
has been added in order to allow run-time configuration of how many |
37 |
watch entries a single client may have on its watchlist. |
38 |
o) Fixed bug which would cause invalid invisible counts on oper-up in case |
39 |
operator::umodes and/or general::oper_umodes contains 'invisible' |
40 |
o) Removed broken LazyLinks |
41 |
o) Removed --disable-gline-voting configure option |
