Hi all,

I just sent my resignation email a few minutes ago (I won’t publish this post until I get a confirmation it was received and acknowledged, though).

After 28 services.dal.net releases, 15 stats.dal.net releases, new users.dal.net website, a few updates to services2 and probably other things I forgot, I think it’s fair enough to say I did my share.

I’ll probably post about the other projects I’m working on soon so stay tuned!

You only see what I want you to see.

Flooding me with my last name doesn’t make you look cool, it makes you look stupid.

cmode +c bug that blocked some languages characters (like Arabic and Hebrew) made us release Bahamut 1.8.6. I have no idea what I was sniffing when I wrote that!

(and no, I didn’t do it to stop Hebrew characters on #israel )

-Kobi.

It took us some time but we did it

Changes list:
- Fixes for x64
- Fixed squelch (for /part & /quit)
- Fixed compiler errors on gcc4
- Fixed a few server IPs leaks
- zlib sources were removed and bahamut now uses searches for installed zlib
- SVSHOLDs are no longer being removed by kill -HUP
- Splits of u:lined servers do not show the uplink server to users
- /who & /rwho parsing fixes so it won’t let opers flood themself too easily
- /invite now honors umode +R and /silence
- New hooks were added for modules

I guess that’s about it!

Bahamut can be downloaded from: http://bahamut.dal.net
