This does two things: * We now only compile src/openssl_hostname_validation.c on really old OpenSSL's. This was already unused/dead code for most OpenSSL's but we always compiled it in until now. * Added 'const' to please OpenSSL 4.0.0 while not breaking OpenSSL 1.0.x. And yeah i'm happy to drop OpenSSL 1.0.x support real soon... but not this month yet.
About UnrealIRCd
UnrealIRCd is an Open Source IRC Server, serving thousands of networks since 1999. It runs on Linux, OS X and Windows and is currently the most widely deployed IRCd with a market share of 37%. UnrealIRCd is a highly advanced IRCd with a strong focus on modularity and security. It uses an advanced and highly configurable configuration file. Other key features include: full IRCv3 support, SSL/TLS, cloaking, JSON-RPC, advanced anti-flood and anti-spam systems, GeoIP, remote includes, and lots of other features. We are also particularly proud on our extensive online documentation.

Supported systems
We try to support all major *NIX systems: all Linux distros but also NetBSD, OpenBSD and macOS, provided the OS version was released within the past ~5 years.
We use a private BuildBot instance to test each commit. The tested systems are (others are likely to work too):
- Linux: Debian (10, 11, 12, 13), Ubuntu (18.04, 20.04, 22.04, 24.04, 26.04)
- FreeBSD: 15
- Windows: Visual Studio 2019
UnrealIRCd is architecture-agnostic. Most of the BuildBot workers run on x64 but we also have some on x86 and arm64 to ensure these work as well.
