- --disable-assert - Disable some of the debugging code. This
- should be used on all production servers for maximum speed and to
- prevent cores from things that shouldn't normally happen.
+ --enable-assert[=OPTION] - Enable some debugging code. OPTION is
+ either 'soft' or 'hard' (default: hard). 'hard' should never be
+ used on production servers as it may generate unnecessary cores.
+ 'soft' prevents cores from being generated but still imposes some
+ additional load.

Note: If you use different names in ircd.conf, you must 'touch' the
specific names.

- If you are upgrading from Hybrid 5 or Hybrid 6, the config file has
- changed drastically...
-
- There is a utility to convert your old config file to the new format.
- In prefix/bin there is something called "convertconf". Its usage is:
- ./convertconf (old config file to convert) (converted file name)
-
- Convertconf will NOT convert I: lines. You must use "convertilines"
- for this which contains a much superior method of conversion and
- will group I: together under one auth {};.
-
- Once this is done, move your new config to prefix/etc/ircd.conf and
- EDIT IT! There are still things that need changing in the config,
- including the fact that classes MUST be above auth/connect blocks!

- If you are upgrading from Hybrid 5 or Hybrid 6, the kline file has
- also changed...
-
- There is a utility to convert the old kline configuration file to the
- new format. In prefix/bin there is a program called "convertklines".
- Its usage is: ./convertklines (old kline.conf filename) (new
- kline.conf filename) (dline.conf filename).
-
- Once this is done, move the new files into the prefix/etc/ directory
- under their proper names. By default, the kline file is named
- kline.conf and the dline file is named dline.conf.
