Fact

The entire human race would fit in the volume of a sugar cube.

Unfortunately the beta9 version didn't work so I skipped over that and moved straight on to porting the beta10 version instead.

Fortunately from a porting point of view there were no changes to be made, so the porting process was fairly quick and easy for once :)

The changes for the beta9 release include:

  • Fix a hang with the resolver using epoll.
  • Add DNS source port randomization.
  • Add a vhost_dns/vhost6_dns option to control which IP addresses the resolver binds to.
  • Make /stats A work again.
  • Clean up some remains of the old ident helper.
  • Work around a core dump in libratbox with accepting sockets that appear to be open in the FD hash and log this condition.
  • Fix a buffer overrun in the arc4random code when there is no SSL library.
  • Fix a memory alignment issue on sparc where the ircd would crash with a SIGBUS accessing long long variables that were allocated via the block allocator.

Changes for the beta10 release include:

  • Fix a case a passing a NULL to match().
  • Properly fix a crash in the block heap garbage collection code.
