Snomasks are now under umode +s, not umode +n. Older operating systems may now use poll() if a better socket engine isn't available. There is greatly improved ziplinks support. Windows performance monitoring, graphs, remote management, and more have been added. The Windows version now runs as a service. All 1.2 users should upgrade.
This release adds a number of internal fixes for
increased reliability
and performance, and is highly recommended. It
fixes problems with
Anope support, m_ident sometimes not correctly
resolving ident, OpenSSL
connections terminating when they shouldn't,
corruption on /map output,
and silent SVSHOLD (no more annoying notices).
U:Lines may now deoper
users without resorting to /kill.
This release fixes a number of major and minor
bugs, some of which are critical and may cause
crashes under some conditions. A new module,
m_ldapauth, is also included for authenticating
against an LDAP directory server. This module was
based on the module written for the (now defunct)
Unreal 4, with a few changes to make it more
secure. This is a highly recommended release.
