-- 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 at host masks
o) Unregistered clients are no longer allowed to request the server's motd
o) general::dot_in_ip6_addr configuration option is obsolete and no longer
exists
o) Dropped support for old style 'operflag = yes|no;' format
-- ircd-hybrid-7.2.3 Release Notes

o) Added -full to etrace
o) Added +C for opers
o) Fixed core in temp channel resv
o) Fixed CHALLENGE to work with user=IP
o) Misc fixes to TESTMASK and TESTLINE
o) Added support for nick masks to TESTMASK
o) Fixed /modlist to show up whether or not a module is resident
o) Fixed command line arguments handling to allow more than one switch
o) Fixed numeric delivery for mixed TS5 target on the other side of a TS6
server.

o) Reduced memory usage for channel members
o) Added general::stats_e_disabled which simply disables "STATS e"
for other operators and administrators
o) Ignore signal SIGXFSZ to prevent the daemon from dying on missconfigured
file size limits
o) Slight optimizations to the block allocator
o) Fixed harmless bug that could result in incorrect bytes sent statistics
in "STATS t"
o) "STATS y|Y" now shows whether a class is active or disabled
o) Added ircd-brazilian_pt.lang language file
o) Misc. ACCEPT fixes. E.g. don't remove an accept record if a client is
changing between equivalent nicknames like 'nick' and 'NiCk'.
o) Minor resolv.conf parser fixes. Added missing support for ';' comments
o) Fixed core on MODRESTART
-- ircd-hybrid-7.2.1 Release Notes

been reduced for remote clients

o) Fixed "CHANSERV INVITE" bug with anope services
o) Updated example configuration files to reflect new topicburst flags
directive in connect{} blocks
