UnrealIRCd 4.0.7-rc1 released

Post by Syzop »

UnrealIRCd 4.0.7-rc1 has been released, this is the (first) release candidate for 4.0.7.

Improvements:
  • UnrealIRCd now ships with a default ciphersuite list to have more secure SSL/TLS defaults (rather than relying on your OS/Distro). You can still customize ciphersuites through set::ssl::ciphers. Details: https://www.unrealircd.org/docs/SSL_Cip ... _protocols
  • set::ssl::protocols allows you to specify which SSL/TLS protocols are permitted. The default is (still): TLSv1,TLSv1.1,TLSv1.2.
  • Windows: remote includes now support IPv6
Major issues fixed
  • FreeBSD: unstable SSL links to other servers
Minor issues fixed
  • It was impossible to set both +b ~r:xyz and +b ~R:xyz
Removed the following rarely used build-time options:
  • CHROOTDIR: Never worked in 4.0.x anyway. You can use AppArmor, SELinux, FreeBSD jails, etc. as an alternative.
  • IRC_USER/IRC_GROUP: Since this only applies to users installing UnrealIRCd system-wide you should use your system services to do this as well, such as: systemd's User=xx or start-stop-daemon.
Other changes:
  • PCRE2 and c-ares libraries updated to latest versions
As always, you can download UnrealIRCd from www.unrealircd.org.
