"What do stars do?"

"...Shine."

From the 8th of September to about the 22nd of September, 2008, the ports tree will be frozen in preparation for the upcoming release of FreeBSD 6.4 and 7.1.

During a ports freeze, only critical updates approved by the ports manager body can be committed to the tree, so the beta12 update was done quickly to ensure it could be committed before the freeze.

From a porting perspective, just a few tweaks to some text and an update to the example.efnet.conf configuration file patch were done for this update.

Software changes for this release include:

  • Added support for SSL only oper and auth blocks.
  • Do not show whowas IP info if the IP is 0 (spoofed).
  • Fix admindline command to actually work.
  • Fix a compile error with vhost6_dns when no ipv6 exists.
  • Fix a logic inversion with duplicate d-line checking.
  • Fix a minor buffer overrun in the identd checking code.
  • Default bursting of who set topics to on.
  • Tidy up some of the identd checking code.
  • Don't try to release a closed connection.
  • Change a few instances where localtime was being used instead of UTC.
  • Do not bother logging ERROR commands from non-servers.
  • Fix a crash in bantool.
  • Fix an issue in libratbox with storing event names incorrectly.
  • Put a bit of sanity checking in rb_vsnprintf_append.
  • Some portability cleanups.

If not already done, I would recommend that users of the ircd check and update their ircd configuration files against the examples provided, to ensure their config file(s) includes any changes or new settings that have been made.
