  10 BEGIN SUMMARY
  11 ** Update **
  12
  13 We have re-released .23 with a revision 'b' as an oversight was made on loading encrypted databases which has now been resolved.
  14
  15 If you previously updated to .23 you needn't update again unless you have problems.
  16
  17 ****
  18
  19 Since releasing 1.7.22 just over 2 weeks ago, we've continued to polish the 1.7 branch for the eventual release of 1.8.
  20
  21 We've fixed various issues some shown below:
  22
  23 Buffer overflows with both ChanServ and NickServ (Win32 Crashbug in 1.7.22)
  24
  25 FreeBSD 7 dns_nss.so.1 issue.
  26 <br/>
  27 Expanded behaviour of OperServ Ignore & introduced modular database back end meaning Ignores are saved even after a services restart.
  28 <br/>
  29 Various typographic errors are fixed in help/lang files.
  30 <br/>
  31 Expanded behaviour of OperServ Modlist
  32 <br/>
  33 Enabled UMODE functionality for InspIRCd 1.1
  34
  35 USERS SHOULD BE AWARE OF BROKEN BACKWARDS DATABASE COMPATIBILITY. TAKE A GOOD BACK UP BEFORE UPGRADING!

  63 Unfortunately, we encountered some problems with the way in which Chanserv & Nickserv are storing passwords which has led us to make a sad but needed decision to break the long time standing backwards database compatibility with versions prior to this one. - This means that once you have upgraded to 1.7.23 (or any SVN build after revision 1462) you will be unable to go back.
  64
  65 Please make sure you take a back up prior to upgrading just in case you do need to revert!
  66
  67 We cannot stress the importance of this advice, and assure you it was with a heavy heart we broke the compatibility and not a decision we took lightly.
