! 10:
! 11: ngIRCd 26.1 (2021-01-02)
! 12:
! 13: - Fix a "format string" compiler warning (detected on OpenBSD).
! 14: - No longer set "AI_ADDRCONFIG" when resolving host names, even when it
! 15: exists: with this option set, on an IPv6-only host, we prevent 127.0.0.1
! 16: to get translated properly, even when the loopback interface has this
! 17: address configured! And as the test suite uses 127.0.0.1, it was broken
! 18: on IPv6-only hosts.
! 19: The drawback is that the resolver possibly returns more addresses now,
! 20: even of an unsupported/not connected address family; but this shouldn't
! 21: do much harm in practice, as ngIRCd iterates over all returned addresses
! 22: while trying to establish an outgoing connection.
! 23: Closes #281.
! 24: - Revert "Show allowed channel types in ISUPPORT(005) numeric only", which
! 25: was introduced in 26~rc1: This lead to some IRC clients assuming "oh, no
! 26: channel prefix characters at all, so no channels at all, so no PRIVMSG can
! 27: go to any channel" when "AllowedChannelTypes" was set to the empty string
! 28: ("") -- which is not the case when there are pre-defined channel set up or
! 29: other servers still having channels!
! 30: So "allowed channel types" != "supported channel types", and we always have
! 31: to list all supported ones in the ISUPPORT(005) numeric!
! 32: Closes #285.
! 33: - Test suite: Wait 2 seconds after reloading the daemon, which is required
! 34: because on reload, all listening ports are closed, configuration updated,
! 35: and then opened again. This lead to subsequent tests running while the
! 36: daemon isn't listening on any ports, and that's why some tests could fail.
! 37: Closes #280.
! 38: - platformtest.sh: Try to mangle CLang name more intelligently.
! 39: - Documentation: Fixed URLs of Atheme IRC services, updated all mentions
! 40: from CVS to Git, and updated Platforms.txt -- Oh, and it is 2021 now! ;-)
! 41:
! 42: ngIRCd 26 (2020-06-20)
! 43:
! 44: ngIRCd 26~rc2 (2020-06-11)
! 45: - Add AppStream metadata file (contrib/de.barton.ngircd.metainfo.xml).
! 46: - Don't send invalid CHANINFO commands when a channel has mode +k set but no
! 47: key is known to the server. This can happen with a misconfigured predefined
! 48: channel, for example, and looked like this: "CHANINFO #test +Pk 0 :" --
! 49: note the unset key represented by the two spaces. Fix this by sending a
! 50: "*" in this case and update the CHANINFO documentation, too.
! 51: - ngircd.spec: Fix names of README.md and INSTALL.md, add ".md" extension.
! 52: - Update description texts in the README.md file, the RPM and Debian package
! 53: files and the manual page: bring them in line with the updated homepage.
! 54: - Server-Server protocol: Fix use-after-free when unregistering a directly
! 55: connected server sending a SQUIT for itself.
! 56: - Server-Server protocol: Detect bogus SERVER commands lacking a prefix.
! 57: Thanks Hilko Bengen (hillu) for finding & reporting this as well for the
! 58: patch & pull request (even if fixed differently).
! 59: Closes #275.
! 60: - Fix the PING-PONG logic: In ngIRCd 26~rc1 this was completely broken (while
! 61: trying to fix timeouts during server handshakes in bigger networks): the
! 62: daemon never disconnected any stale peers but kept sending out PINGs over
! 63: and over again ...
! 64: - Test suite: Add missing files needed to test SSL support to "EXTRA_DIST",
! 65: so that they are included in distribution archives: in rc1, "make check"
! 66: fails when using sources from an archive and enabling SSL support.
! 67: Thanks to Hilko Bengen <bengen@hilluzination.de> for the patch!
! 68:
! 69: ngIRCd 26~rc1 (2020-05-10)
! 70: - Tweak & update doc/HowToRelease.txt, .mailmap and AUTHORS files.
! 71: - Allow up to 512 characters per line in MOTD and help text files (but keep
! 72: in mind that lines can't get that long, because they have to be prefixed
! 73: before being sent to the client). But this allows for more fancy MOTDs :-)
! 74: Closes #271.
! 75: - Show the actually allowed channel types in the ISUPPORT(005) numeric which
! 76: are configured by the "AllowedChannelTypes" configuration variable.
! 77: Closes #273.
! 78: - Handle commands in the read buffer before reading more data and don't wait
! 79: for the network in this case: If there are more bytes in the read buffer
! 80: already than a single valid IRC command can get long (513 bytes), wait for
! 81: this/those command(s) to be handled first and don't try to read even more
! 82: data from the network (which most probably would overflow the read buffer
! 83: of this connection soon).
! 84: - Update Travis-CI configuration, "sudo" is deprecated.
! 85: - Log G-/K-Line changes only when not initiated by a server: this prevents
! 86: the log from becoming spammed during "net bursts".
! 87: - Update test suite to include SSL tests, including checking for reloading
! 88: certificates during runtime.
! 89: - Makefile.am: Replace "make" with "${MAKE}". This fixes warnings like this:
! 90: "warning: jobserver unavailable: using -j1. Add `+' to parent make rule."
! 91: Thanks to Sam James (sam_c) <sam@cmpct.info>!
! 92: Closes #270.
! 93: - Add support for GnuTLS certificate reload, which is quite handy when using
! 94: Let's Encrypt, for example. Until now this was only supported when linked
! 95: with OpenSSL. Thanks a lot, Hilko Bengen <bengen@hilluzination.de>!
! 96: - Remove deprecated legacy configuration options and related functions that
! 97: have been marked for removal for quite some time:
! 98: - PredefChannelsOnly (v22)
! 99: - NoticeAuth (v24)
! 100: - NoXXX (v19)
! 101: - Old '[GLOBAL]' section handling (v19)
! 102: Thanks to Michi <michi+ngircd@dataswamp.org> for the patch!
! 103: - Fix recursion bug on write errors: Depending on the stack size, too many
! 104: clients on the same channel quitting at the same time would trigger a crash
! 105: due to too many recursive calls to Conn_Close(). Thanks to Michi
! 106: <michi+ngircd@dataswamp.org> for the patch!
! 107: - Fix builds using GCC option -fno-common, which is the default starting with
! 108: GCC 10. Thanks to Michi <michi+ngircd@dataswamp.org> for the patch!
! 109: Closes #266.
! 110: - Convert INSTALL and README files to Markdown.
! 111: - Allow setting arbitrary channel modes in the configuration file by handling
! 112: them like in MODE commands, and allow multiple "Modes =" lines per [Channel]
! 113: section. Thanks to Michi <michi+ngircd@dataswamp.org>!
! 114: Closes #55.
! 115: - Add "FNC" (forced nick changes) to ISUPPORT(005) numeric. Most probably
! 116: this doesn't make any difference to any client, but it seems correct.
! 117: See <http://www.irc.org/tech_docs/005.html> for details.
! 118: - Reuse old SSL key if loading a new one failed.
! 119: - Remove outdated OpenBSD/NetBSD systrace.policy.
! 120: - Enhance handling of command line errors, and return with exit code 0 ("no
! 121: error") when "--help" or "--version" is used (which resulted in exit code 1,
! 122: "error" before). Exit with code 2 ("command line error") for all other
! 123: invalid command line options, and show the error message itself on stderr
! 124: (instead of stdout and exit code 1, "generic error", as before).
! 125: This new behaviour is more in line with the GNU "coding standards",
! 126: see <https://www.gnu.org/prep/standards/html_node/_002d_002dhelp.html>.
! 127: - Fix and update Xcode project: Reference correct contrib/Makefile.am file,
! 128: correctly sort contrib/nglog.sh and add "ORGANIZATIONNAME" setting.
! 129: - contrib/ngindent.sh: Add more GNU indent options for better results, and
! 130: add the ".sh" suffix to bring this script in line with the others in the
! 131: contrib/ folder.
! 132: - Add ./contrib/nglog.sh: This script parses the log output of ngircd(8),
! 133: and colorizes the messages according to their log level. Example usage:
! 134: ngircd -f $PWD/doc/sample-ngircd.conf -np | ./contrib/nglog.sh
! 135: - Log received signals with their names using strsignal(3), when available.
! 136: - Make test suite compatible with Haiku OS.
! 137: - Fix host mask cloaking bug, don't cloak multiple times: Previously, each
! 138: server would cloak every user's host mask. The problem is that if a network
! 139: has more than one server, then a user's host mask would get cloaked twice.
! 140: This patch ensures that a server only cloaks the host mask if it has not yet
! 141: been cloaked (the period indicates it's still an IP address). Thanks to
! 142: JRMU <jrmu@lecturify.com> for the patch!
! 143: Closes #228.
! 144: - Enlarge buffers of info texts to 128 bytes. This includes:
! 145: - "Real name" of a client (4th filed of the USER command).
! 146: - Server info text ("Info" configuration option).
! 147: - Admin info texts and email address ("AdminInfo1", "AdminInfo2" and
! 148: "AdminEmail" configuration options).
! 149: - Network name ("Network" configuration option).
! 150: The limit was 64 bytes before ...
! 151: Closes #258.
! 152: - Streamline handling of invalid and unset server name: Don't exit during
! 153: runtime (REHASH command, HUP signal), because the server name can't be
! 154: changed in this case anyway and the new invalid name will be ignored.
! 155: - Fix and extend documentation: Fix some typos, fix syntax of LINKS and LIST
! 156: commands, whitespace and spelling fixes, update dependencies and add some
! 157: more information about IRCv3 support.
! 158: Thanks to Thanks Windree, Étienne Mollier <etienne.mollier@mailoo.org> and
! 159: Christoph Biedl <debian.axhn@manchmal.in-ulm.de>.
! 160: Closes #264.
! 161: - Slightly reorder startup steps, and enhance logging:
! 162: - Show name of configuration file at the beginning of start up.
! 163: - Add a message when ngIRCd is ready, including its host name.
! 164: - Show name of configuration file on REHASH (SIGHUP), too.
! 165: - Change level of "done message" to NOTICE, like "starting" & "ready".
! 166: - Initialize IO functions before channels, connections, clients, ...
! 167: - configure.ng: OpenSSL can depends on lz or latomic so use pkg-config to
! 168: find those dependencies and fallback to existing mechanism.
! 169: Closes #256.
! 170: - ngircd.conf.5: Fix wording as suggested by lintian.
! 171:
! 172: ngIRCd 25 (2019-01-23)
! 173:
! 174: - Fix documentation of MotdPhrase length, which actually is 126 characters:
! 175: update sample configuration file as well as the man page. Thanks to
! 176: shankari <shankari@eecs.berkeley.edu>.
! 177: Closes #254.
! 178: - Implement new configuration option "MaxPenaltyTime", which configures the
! 179: maximum penalty time increase in seconds, per penalty event. Set to -1 for
! 180: no limit (the default), 0 to disable penalties altogether. ngIRCd doesn't
! 181: use penalty increases higher than 2 seconds during normal operation, so
! 182: values higher than 1 rarely make sense.
! 183: Disabling (or reducing) penalties can greatly speed up "make check" runs
! 184: for example, see below, but are mostly a debugging feature and normally
! 185: not meant to be used on production systems!
! 186: Some example timings running "make check" from my macOS workstation:
! 187: - MaxPenaltyTime not set: 4:41,79s
! 188: - "MaxPenaltyTime = 1": 3:14,71s
! 189: - "MaxPenaltyTime = 0": 25,46s
! 190: Closes #249 and #251.
! 191: - Fix compilation without deprecated OpenSSL APIs. Thanks to Rosen Penev
! 192: <rosenp@gmail.com> for the patch!
! 193: Closes #252.
! 194: - Update Xcode project for latest Xcode version (10.0)
! 195: - Fix some compiler warnings of Apple Xcode/Clang
! 196: - Allow a 5th parameter in WEBIRC. Thanks to "ItsOnlyBinary".
! 197: Closes #247.
! 198: - Update some more documentation files and source code comments.
! 199: - Platforms.txt: Add and update systems.
! 200:
! 201: ngIRCd 25~rc1 (2018-08-11)
! 202: - Update config.guess (2018-03-08) and config.sub (2018-03-08) files.
! 203: - Correctly retry to establish an outgoing connections when forking of the
! 204: resolver sub-process failed (for example because of lack of free memory).
! 205: Until now, such a connection was never retried once this error was hit.
! 206: Thanks to Robert Obermeier for reporting this bug!
! 207: Closes #243.
! 208: - Fix a "use after free" bug which can be triggered on a newly established
! 209: connection when the daemon handles an ERROR command received from the peer
! 210: during client login. Thanks a lot to Joseph Bisch <joseph.bisch@gmail.com>
! 211: for discovering and reporting this issue!
! 212: - Only send TOPIC updates to a channel when the topic actually changed:
! 213: This prevents the channel from becoming flooded by unnecessary TOPIC update
! 214: messages, that can happen when IRC services try to enforce a certain topic
! 215: but which is already set (at least on the local server), for example.
! 216: Therefore still forward it to all servers, but don't inform local clients
! 217: (still update setter and timestamp information, though).
! 218: - Update Xcode project for latest Xcode version (9.2). This includes adding
! 219: missing and deleting obsolete file references.
! 220: - Handle user mode "C" ("Only users that share a channel are allowed to send
! 221: messages") like user mode "b" ("block private messages and notices"): allow
! 222: messages from servers, services, and IRC Operators, too. Change proposed by
! 223: "wowaname" back in 2015 in #ngircd, thanks!
! 224: - Fix some compiler warnings.
! 225: - Add contrib/ngircd.logcheck: Some sample logcheck(8) rules.
! 226: - Allow IRC Ops and remote servers to KILL service clients: such clients
! 227: behave like regular users, therefore IRC operators and servers should be
! 228: able to KILL them: for example to resolve nick collisions.
! 229: Closes #242.
! 230: - Don't forward KILLs to other servers if they've been blocked locally:
! 231: This prevents clients from killing IRC services, for example.
! 232: Closes #238 and #239.
! 233: - Fix a cross-compiler issue related to the Get_Error() function.
! 234: Closes #240 and #241.
! 235: - Update ./doc/Services.txt, enhance configuration examples.
! 236:
! 237: ngIRCd 24 (2017-01-20)
! 238:
! 239: - Make sure that ./contrib/platformtest.sh aborts when ./autogen.sh fails.
! 240: - Update config.guess (2016-10-02) and config.sub (2016-11-04) files.
! 241: - Build Debian packages with OpenSSL instead of GnuTLS: OpenSSL allows
! 242: to reload used certificates on runtime for example (which is very
! 243: useful when using Let's Encrypt), and therefore is preferred. And
! 244: explicitly specify the "source format".
! 245: - Fix handling of connection pool allocation and enlargement: up to now,
! 246: the daemon only enlarged its connection pool when accepting new incoming
! 247: client or server connections, not when establishing new outgoing server
! 248: links, which could lead to problems when hitting the configured limit,
! 249: see "MaxConnections". Thanks to Lukas Braun (k00mi) for reporting this!
! 250: Closes #231.
! 251:
! 252: ngIRCd 24~rc1 (2017-01-07)
! 253: - Enhance systemd service file, and install it in Debian package.
! 254: - Update configuration of Debian package.
! 255: - Log privilege violations and failed OPER request with log level "error"
! 256: and send it to the "&SERVER" channel, too.
! 257: - Immediately shut down connection when receiving an "ERROR" command,
! 258: don't wait for the peer to close the connection. This allows the daemon
! 259: to forward the received "ERROR" message in the network, instead of the
! 260: very generic "client closed connection" message.
! 261: - Fix sending of entry duration (no negative values!) when synchronizing
! 262: "x-lines" (G-LINES).
! 263: - List expiration (G-LINES): use same log level as when setting, and log
! 264: this event to the &SERVER channel, too.
! 265: - Explicitly forbid remote servers to modify "x-lines" (G-LINES) when the
! 266: "AllowRemoteOper" configuration option isn't set, even when the command
! 267: seems to originate from the remote server itself: this prevents GLINE's
! 268: to become set during server handshake in this case (what wouldn't be
! 269: possible during regular runtime when a remote IRC Op sends the command)
! 270: and what can't be undone by IRC Ops later on (because of the missing
! 271: "AllowRemoteOper" option) ...
! 272: - Make scripts and init-files in ./contrib executable.
! 273: - Fix building ngIRCd with OpenSSL 1.1. Thanks to Christoph Biedl
! 274: <ngircd.anoy@manchmal.in-ulm.de> for the patch!
! 275: - Fix code indentation warnings of gcc 6.2.
! 276: - Update config.guess (2016-04-02) and config.sub (2016-03-30) files.
! 277: - Fix warnings of the "shellcheck" linter in autogen.sh, contrib/ngindent
! 278: and contrib/platformtest.sh.
! 279: - Update Xcode project for latest Xcode version (8.0), and fix "duplicate
! 280: symbols" error messages when building (linking) the binary.
! 281: - Add "Documentation" variables to systemd configuration files.
! 282: - Make sure that SYSCONFDIR is always set, which can be handy when
! 283: using source code linters when ./configure hasn't been run already.
! 284: - Add the new "PAMServiceName" configuration option to specify the name
! 285: used as PAM service name. This setting allows to run multiple ngIRCd
! 286: instances with different PAM configurations for each instance.
! 287: Thanks to Christian Aistleitner <christian@quelltextlich.at> for the
! 288: patch, closes #226.
! 289: - Add an ".editorconfig" file to the project.
! 290: - Travis-CI: use "container-based infrastructure".
! 291: - Limit the number of message targets, and suppress duplicates: This
! 292: prevents an user from flooding the server using commands like this:
! 293: "PRIVMSG nick1,nick1,nick1,...".
! 294: Duplicate targets are suppressed silently (channels and clients).
! 295: In addition, the maximum number of targets per PRIVMSG, NOTICE, ...
! 296: command are limited to MAX_HNDL_TARGETS (25). If there are more, the
! 297: daemon sends the new 407 (ERR_TOOMANYTARGETS_MSG) numeric, containing
! 298: the first target that hasn't been handled any more. Closes #187.
! 299: - Test suite: Add new test for server-server logins.
! 300: - contrib/ngindent: Fix shebang line.
! 301: - Make contrib/platformtest.sh script more portable, and only show
! 302: "runs=Y" when the test suite really has been passed successfully.
! 303: - Code cleanup in the NJON handler and the function killing clients as
! 304: well as the function sending messages to a "mask" (cleaner code, more
! 305: fault tolerant, better code comments).
! 306: - Update and enhance documentation: README file, doc/Platforms.txt,
! 307: doc/Modes.txt, doc/Commands.txt, doc/PAM.txt.
! 308: - Fix NJOIN not propagating "half ops" status: ngIRCd tested for the wrong
! 309: prefix of "half ops" when processing NJOIN commands and therefore never
! 310: classified a remote user as "half op".
! 311: Thanks to wowaname for pointing this out on #ngircd!
! 312:
! 313: ngIRCd 23 (2015-11-16)
! 314:
! 315: - Explicitly cast time_t to long when printing it out: this prevents
! 316: wrong sized data types on platforms where time_t doesn't equal a
! 317: long any more, for example on OpenBSD (which would result in garbled
! 318: output on those platforms).
! 319: - contrib/Debian/changelog: Fix email address.
! 320: - Documentation: Spelling fixes; update doc/Platforms.txt.
! 321:
! 322: ngIRCd 23~rc1 (2015-09-06)
! 323: - Add ".clang_complete" file, which is used by the "linter-clang" package
! 324: of the Atom editor, for example.
! 325: - Make server-to-server protocol more robust: ngIRCd now catches more
! 326: errors on the server-to-server (S2S) protocol that could crash the
! 327: daemon before. This hasn't been a real problem because the IRC S2S
! 328: protocol is "trusted" by design, but the behavior is much better now.
! 329: Thanks to wowaname on #ngircd for pointing this out!
! 330: - Make platformtest.sh, autogen.sh, and ngircd.init more portable.
! 331: - Enables "reproducible builds" for ngIRCd: Use the optional BIRTHTIME
! 332: constant while building ngIRCd, which contains a time stamp for the
! 333: "Birth Date" information, in seconds since the epoch.
! 334: See <https://wiki.debian.org/ReproducibleBuilds>.
! 335: - Update "contrib/ngircd.service" file for systemd.
! 336: - INSTALL: Add deprecation notice for "PredefChannelsOnly" variable.
! 337: - Use "NOTICE *" before registration instead of "NOTICE AUTH". "AUTH" is
! 338: a valid nickname so sending notices to it is probably not a good idea.
! 339: Use "*" as the target instead as done with numerics when the nick is not
! 340: available. This mimics the behavior in Charybdis, IRCD-Hybrid, InspIRCd
! 341: 2.2, Plexus 4, etc. Closes #217.
! 342: The "NoticeAuth" configuration variable (ngircd.conf) has been renamed
! 343: to "NoticeBeforeRegistration" accordingly, but the old name is still
! 344: supported for compatibility reasons.
! 345: - Implement new channel mode "N" (regular users can't change their nick
! 346: name while on this channel). Closes #214.
! 347: - README, AUTHORS: Update mailing list and issue tracker URLs.
! 348: - Remove doc/GIT.txt (it is outdated), update doc/Contributing.txt:
! 349: ngIRCd uses GitHub, and Git itself is quite common today. So don't
! 350: include an own Git "mini HowTo" any longer.
! 351: - Specify session context for OpenSSL clients. This enables some OpenSSL
! 352: clients, including Pidgin and stunnel 5.06, to reuse a session.
! 353: Patch by Tom Ryder <tom@sanctum.geek.nz>, thanks! Closes #182.
! 354: - Keep track of who placed bans, invites, and excepts.
! 355: Idea and implementation by LucentW, Thanks! Closes #203.
! 356: - Make setgroups(3) function optional: For example, Interix is missing
! 357: this function, which prevented ngIRCd to build on this platform. When
! 358: setgroups(3) isn't available, a warning message is issued on startup.
! 359: - Implement numeric RPL_LISTSTART(321). lightIRC and other clients
! 360: expecting RPL_LISTSTART should now behave correctly.
! 361: Idea and implementation by LucentW, Thanks! Closes #207.
! 362: - Update ngircd.conf.5: "CloakUserToNick" hides user _and_ real name.
! 363: This closes #208.
! 364: - Fix case insensitive pattern matching: Up to now, only the input
! 365: string became lowercased and was then compared to the pattern -- which
! 366: failed when the pattern itself wasn't all lowercase!
! 367: - Streamline the effect of "MorePrivacy" option: Update documentation
! 368: in ngircd.conf(5); don't hide channels for IRC Ops on LIST and don't
! 369: hide IP addresses/hostnames on WHOIS when "MorePrivacy" is in effect.
! 370: This closes #198.
! 371: - IRC operators now can kick anyone when "OperCanMode" is set.
! 372: Idea and implementation by LucentW, Thanks! Closes #202.
! 373: - Implement user mode "I": Hide channels on WHOIS: this mode prevents
! 374: ngIRCd from showing channels on WHOIS (IRC Operators can always see
! 375: the channel list).
! 376: Idea and implementation by LucentW, Thanks! Closes #197.
! 377: - INVITE command: Implement ERR_USERNOTONSERV(504) numeric and make sure
! 378: that the target user is on the same server when inviting other users
! 379: to local ("&") channels.
! 380: Idea by Cahata, thanks! Closes #183.
! 381: - INVITE command: Enforce 1 second penalty time, which prevents flooding
! 382: of the target client.
! 383: This closes #186. Reported by Cahata, thanks!
! 384: - MODE command: Always report channel creation time. Up to now when
! 385: receiving a MODE command, ngIRCd only reported the channel creation
! 386: time to clients that were members of the channel. This patch reports
! 387: the channel creation time to all clients, regardless if they are joined
! 388: to that channel or not. At least ircd-seven behaves like this.
! 389: This closes #188. Reported by Cahata, thanks!
! 390: - Update Xcode project for latest Xcode version (6.3).
! 391:
! 392: ngIRCd 22.1 (2015-04-06)
! 393:
! 394: - Update doc/Platforms.txt and doc/FAQ.txt.
! 395: - Fix spelling of RPL_WHOISBOT message text.
! 396: - Don't send nick name as default PART reason: No other IRC daemon seems
! 397: to do this (today?). Closes #185.
! 398: Reported by Cahata in #ngircd, thanks!
! 399: - Fix "WHO #<chan>" showing invisible users and hiding all visible, the
! 400: logic was reversed! This bug has been introduced by commit c74115f2,
! 401: "Simplify mode checking on channels and users within a channel", ngIRCd
! 402: releases 21, 21.1, and 22 are affected :-( Problem reported by Cahata
! 403: in #ngircd, Thanks!
! 404: - Fix typo in src/testsuite/README
! 405: - Auth PING: Fix our information text for manual sending of "PONG". Up to
! 406: now, ngIRCd doesn't send a valid IRC command at all, oops!
! 407: - Auth PING: Fix internal time stamp conversion and don't send a prefix in
! 408: our PING command. The prefix confuses WeeChat, at least, which doesn't
! 409: send an appropriate PONG in the case ...
! 410: Debugging and patch by "wowaname" on #ngircd, thanks!
! 411: - Fix syntax of ERR_LISTFULL_MSG(478) numeric. Pointed out by "wowaname"
! 412: in #ngircd, thanks!
! 413: - Enhance debug messages while sending CHANINFO commands.
! 414: - Reset "last try" timer when enabling a passive server. This results in
! 415: a new connection attempt as soon as possible.
! 416: - Change log message for "Can't resolve address" and for IP address
! 417: forgeries.
! 418: - doc/HowToRelease.txt: Add note about the bug tracker.
! 419: - Update "CipherList" to not enable SSLv3 by default. Idea, initial patch,
! 420: and testing by Christoph Biedl <ngircd.anoy@manchmal.in-ulm.de>.
! 421: - Change ngIRCd test suite not to use DNS lookups: Different operating
! 422: systems do behave quite differently when doing DNS lookups, for example
! 423: "127.0.0.1" sometimes resolves to "localhost" and sometimes to
! 424: "localhost.localdomain" (for example OpenBSD). And other OS resolve
! 425: "localhost" to the real host name (for example Cygwin). So not using
! 426: DNS at all makes the test site much more portable.
! 427:
! 428: ngIRCd 22 (2014-10-11)
! 429:
! 430: - Match all list patterns case-insensitive: this affects the invite-,
! 431: ban-, and except lists, as well as G-Lines an K-Lines.
! 432: Problem pointed out by "wowaname" on #ngircd, thanks!
! 433:
! 434: ngIRCd 22~rc1 (2014-09-29)
! 435: - Sync "except lists" between servers: Up to now, ban, invite, and G-Line
! 436: lists have been synced between servers while linking -- but obviously
! 437: nobody noticed that except list have been missing ever since. Until now.
! 438: Thanks to "j4jackj", who reported this issue in #ngircd.
! 439: - Allow longer user names (up to 63 characters) for authentication.
! 440: - Correctly check that a server has a valid hostname and port, thanks to
! 441: David Binderman <dcb314@hotmail.com> who reported this bug.
! 442: - Fix the function which generates complete "IRC masks" from user input,
! 443: don't destroy the source buffer and use all provided parts (nick, user,
! 444: host name). This fixes GLINEs/KLINEs from not working in some situations.
! 445: - Increase MAX_SERVERS from 16 to 64: There are installations out there
! 446: that would like to configure more than 16 links per server, so increase
! 447: this limit. Best would be to get rid of MAX_SERVERS altogether and make
! 448: if fully dynamic, but start with this quick and dirty hack ...
! 449: - Debian: Don't adjust path names that are correct by default and correctly
! 450: set and use "docdir".
! 451: - Update config.guess and config.sub to recent versions.
! 452: - Test suite/platformtest.sh: Detect when tests have been skipped.
! 453: - doc/Bopm.txt: Update "connregex" and "kline" for current ngIRCd.
! 454: - Allow "DefaultUserModes" to set all possible modes, including modes only
! 455: settable by IRC Operators.
! 456: - Spoofed prefixes: Really kill connection on non-server links.
! 457: - Implement user mode "F": "relaxed flood protection". Clients with mode
! 458: "F" set are allowed to rapidly send data to the daemon. This mode is only
! 459: settable by IRC Operators and can cause problems in the network -- so be
! 460: careful and only set it on "trusted" clients!
! 461: User mode "F" is used by Bahamut for this purpose, for example.
! 462: - Handle "throttling" in a single function: ngIRCd implements "command
! 463: throttling" and "bps throttling" (bytes per second). The states are
! 464: detected in different functions, Conn_Handler() and Read_Request(), but
! 465: handle the actual "throttling" in a common function: this enables us to
! 466: guarantee consistent behavior and to disable throttling for special
! 467: connections in only one place
! 468: - Use server password when PAM is compiled in but disabled.
! 469: - Streamline punctuation of log messages.
! 470: - Return ISUPPORT(005) numerics on "VERSION". This is how ircd-seven,
! 471: Charybdis, Hybrid, and InspIRCd behave, for example.
! 472: - configure: Only link "contrib/Debian" if it exists, which isn't the case
! 473: on "VPATH builds", for example.
! 474: - Show the account name in WHOIS. This uses the same numeric as Charybdis
! 475: and ircu families: WHOISLOGGEDIN(330).
! 476: - Pattern matching: Remove "range matching" in our pattern matching code
! 477: using the "[...]" syntax, because [ and ] are valid characters in nick
! 478: names and one has to quote them currently using the "\" character, which
! 479: is quite unexpected for users.
! 480: - platformtest.sh: New option "-x", don't regenerate build system and
! 481: allow using separate source and build trees.
! 482: - Test suite: explicitly enable glibc memory checking.
! 483: - Make "MODE -k" handling more robust and compatible, send "fake '*' key"
! 484: in all replies.
! 485: - Update configure.ng: ngIRCd requires GNU autoconf 2.61 for generating its
! 486: build system, so update the build system accordingly and implement all
! 487: changes that autoupdate(1) suggests: Update AC_PREREQ and AC_INIT, use
! 488: AC_LINK_IFELSE, AC_RUN_IFELSE, and AC_COMPILE_IFELSE, and remove
! 489: AC_TYPE_SIGNAL (we don't use RETSIGTYPE).
! 490: - portabtest: Actually test the functions snprintf(), strlcpy(), strlcat(),
! 491: and vsnprintf() for correctness, not only existence (which was quite
! 492: useless, because if they weren't available, the program could not have
! 493: been linked at all ...).
! 494: - Implement new configuration option "Network": it is used to set the
! 495: (completely optional) "network name", to which this instance of the
! 496: daemon belongs. When set, this name is used in the ISUPPORT(005) numeric
! 497: which is sent to all clients connecting to the server after logging in.
! 498: - Update doc/Platforms.txt.
! 499: - Various code cleanups, remove unused code, streamline error handling.
! 500: Remove all imp.h and exp.h header files, support non-standard vsnprintf()
! 501: return codes, and fix some K&R C portability issues. Streamline
! 502: DEBUG_ARRAY, DEBUG_BUFFER, DEBUG_IO, DEBUG_ZIP definitions.
! 503: - Increase penalty time to 10 seconds when handling OPER commands with an
! 504: invalid password.
! 505:
! 506: ngIRCd 21.1 (2014-03-25)
! 507:
! 508: - Don't ignore but use the server password when PAM is compiled in but
! 509: disabled. Thanks to Roy Sindre Norangshol <roy.sindre@norangshol.no>!
! 510: - doc/Platforms.txt: Update from master branch.
! 511: - Really kill connections that send "spoofed prefixes" on non-server links.
! 512: This fixes commit 6cbe1308 which only killed the connection when the
! 513: spoofed prefix itself belonged to a non-server client.
! 514: - CHARCONV command: Fix handling conversion errors, don't overwrite already
! 515: converted text!
! 516: - doc/Services.txt: Update information for Anope 2.x.
! 517: - Correctly use cloaked IRC masks on "INVITE nickname": The cloaked IRC mask
! 518: of a user is his visible mask, so the daemon has to use it for generating
! 519: the "one time" entries for the invite list of the given channel, and not
! 520: the "real" mask which will never match while the target client is "+x", and
! 521: even worse, will disclose the real mask on "MODE #channel +I" commands :-/
! 522: Bug reported by Cahata on #ngircd, thanks!
! 523: - configure: Only link "contrib/Debian" if it exists. This isn't the case on
! 524: "VPATH builds", for example.
! 525: - Use $(MKDIR_P) instead of $(mkinstalldirs) in Makefile's and test for
! 526: "mkdir -p" using AC_PROG_MKDIR_P in "configure".
! 527: - Fix configure script and "make check" for TCP Wrappers (problems spotted on
! 528: OpenBSD): add missing #include's and static variables, and add libwrap at
! 529: the end of the configure run because if libwrap becomes added earlier,
! 530: other tests may fail.
! 531: - configure: add support for the LDFLAGS_END and LIBS_END variables to add
! 532: linker flags and libraries at the end of the configure run (CFLAGS_END has
! 533: been implemented already).
! 534: - platformtest.sh and Makefile.am: Don't use "test -e", it isn't portable.
! 535: - Update Copyright notices for 2014 :-)
! 536: - Fix permanent {G|K}LINES (with a timeout of 0 seconds).
! 537: - WEBIRC: Don't set the hostname received by the WEBIRC command when DNS
! 538: lookups are disabled, but use the IP address instead.
! 539: Reported by Toni Spets <toni.spets@iki.fi>, thanks!
! 540: - Check for working getaddrinfo() function: At least AIX 4.3.3 and 5.1 have a
! 541: broken implementation of getaddrinfo() which doesn't handle "0" as numeric
! 542: service correctly. This patch adds a configure check for this case and
! 543: changes all calling functions to only use getaddrinfo() if it "works".
! 544: See <http://www.stacken.kth.se/lists/heimdal-discuss/2004-05/msg00059.html>
! 545: - Only use the unsetenv() function when it is available (AIX 4.3 doesn't
! 546: support it, for example).
! 547: - Make sure that the source code is still compatible with the "ansi2knr" tool
! 548: and builds using non-ANSI K&R C compilers. Tested with Apple C on A/UX.
! 549: - Fix building ngIRCd without support for ZLIB compression. Reported by
! 550: "der_baer" on #ngircd, thanks!
! 551:
! 552: ngIRCd 21 (2013-10-30)
! 553:
! 554: - ./contrib/Debian/ngircd.init: Make sure no stale PID file is left over
! 555: when (re-)starting ngIRCd.
! 556: - Change ./contrib/platformtest.sh and update ./doc/Platforms.txt to
! 557: allow user names up to 8 characters.
! 558: - Call arc4random_stir() in forked subprocesses, when available. This
! 559: is required by FreeBSD <10 and current NetBSD at least to correctly
! 560: initialize the "arc4" random number generator on these platforms.
! 561: - Update our own Debian package configuration and fix the default path
! 562: of the "HelpFile" of the "full" package variants.
! 563:
! 564: ngIRCd 21~rc2 (2013-10-20)
! 565: - Report the correct configuration file name on configuration errors,
! 566: support longer configuration lines, and warn when lines are truncated.
! 567: - Use arc4random() function to generate "random" numbers, when available.
! 568: - platformtest.sh: Detect clang compiler, and clean up GIT source tree
! 569: before building (when possible).
! 570: - Update (date of) manual pages.
! 571: - Update "Upgrade Information" in INSTALL file, add more systems to
! 572: doc/Platforms.txt, and fix spelling in NEWS and ChangeLog files =:)
! 573: - Fix remaining compiler warnings on OpenBSD.
! 574:
! 575: ngIRCd 21~rc1 (2013-10-05)
! 576: - Actually KILL clients on GLINE/KLINE. (Closes bug #156)
! 577: - Adjust log messages for invalid and spoofed prefixes, which cleans up
! 578: logging of commands related to already KILL'ed clients. And don't
! 579: forward KILL commands for (already) unknown clients any more to prevent
! 580: unnecessary duplicates.
! 581: - Add support to show all user links using the "STATS L" (uppercase)
! 582: command (restricted to IRC Operators).
! 583: - Fixed blocking of server reconnects in some error configurations.
! 584: - Don't ignore SSL-related errors during startup any more: abort startup
! 585: when SSL is requested by the configuration but can't be initialized and
! 586: don't continue only listening on plain text communication ports.
! 587: (Closes bug #163)
! 588: - Implement configurable SSL cipher list selection for GnuTLS and OpenSSL
! 589: using the new configuration option "CipherList". In addition, this
! 590: changes the defaults to more secure values: "HIGH:!aNULL:@STRENGTH" for
! 591: OpenSSL, and "SECURE128" for GnuTLS.
! 592: - Fix "TRACE": Correctly return ERR_NEEDMOREPARAMS(461) (which basically
! 593: is "syntax error") when there are too many parameters.
! 594: - Clean up lots of permission and parameter checks in functions handling
! 595: IRC commands; and more consistently add penalty times on errors.
! 596: - Fix error numeric of WHOIS when no nick name has been provided:
! 597: as per RFC it should be ERR_NONICKNAMEGIVEN(431).
! 598: - Only log "IDENT ... no result" messages when an IDENT looked took place
! 599: and didn't return any data, not when IDENT has been disabled.
! 600: - Show connection flag "s" (SSL) in RPL_TRACE{LINK|SERVER} messages: now
! 601: you can check if a server-to-server link is SSL-encrypted or not using
! 602: the IRC "TRACE" command.
! 603: - Correctly discard supplementary groups on server startup.
! 604: - Save client IP address text for "WebIRC" users and correctly display
! 605: it on WHOIS, for example. (Closes bug #159)
! 606: - Implement the new configuration option "DefaultUserModes" which lists
! 607: user modes that become automatically set on new local clients right
! 608: after login. Please note that only modes can be set that the client
! 609: could set on itself, so you can't set "a" (away) or "o" (IRC Op),
! 610: for example! User modes "i" (invisible) or "x" (cloaked) etc. are
! 611: "interesting", though. (Closes bug #160)
! 612: - Add support for the new METADATA "account" property, which allows
! 613: services to automatically identify users after netsplits and across
! 614: service restarts.
! 615: - Enforce "penalty times" on error conditions more consistently and in
! 616: more places. Now most error codes sent back from the IRC server to the
! 617: client should result in a 2 second "penalty".
! 618: - Implement a new configuration option "AllowedChannelTypes" that lists
! 619: all allowed channel types (channel prefixes) for newly created channels
! 620: on the local server. By default, all supported channel types are allowed.
! 621: If set to the empty string, local clients can't create new channels at
! 622: all, which equals the old "PredefChannelsOnly = yes" setting.
! 623: This change deprecates the "PredefChannelsOnly" variable, too, but it is
! 624: still supported and translated to the appropriate "AllowedChannelTypes"
! 625: setting. When the old "PredefChannelsOnly" variable is processed, a
! 626: warning message is logged. (Closes bug #152)
! 627: - Add support for "client certificate fingerprinting". When a client
! 628: passes an SSL certificate to the server, the "fingerprint" will be
! 629: forwarded in the network which enables IRC services to identify the
! 630: user using this certificate and not using passwords.
! 631: - IRC Operator names, as defined in ngircd.conf, are logged now when
! 632: handling successful OPER commands.
! 633: - Some error conditions while handling IRC commands, like "permission
! 634: denied" or "need more parameters", result in more penalty times.
! 635: - The numeric replies of some commands became split too early which
! 636: resulted in more numeric reply lines than necessary.
! 637: - Implement a new configuration option "IncludeDir" in the "[Options]"
! 638: section that can be used to specify a directory which can contain
! 639: further configuration files and configuration file snippets matching
! 640: the pattern "*.conf". These files are read in after the main server
! 641: configuration file ("ngircd.conf" by default) has been read in and
! 642: parsed. The default is "$SYSCONFDIR/ngircd.conf.d", so that it is
! 643: possible to adjust the configuration only by placing additional files
! 644: into this directory. (Closes bug #157)
! 645: - Fix use-after-free in the Lists_CheckReason() function, which is used
! 646: to check if a client is a member of a particular ban/invite/... list.
! 647: - Xcode: fix detection of host OS, vendor, and CPU type, and update
! 648: project settings for Xcode 5.
! 649: - OS X PackageMaker: use relative path names in project files and package
! 650: with correct file permissions (requires root privileges on "make").
! 651: - Add Travis-CI configuration file (".travis.yml") to project.
! 652: - Look for possible cloaked Masks in Lists. Users with +x user mode can
! 653: be banned with their cloaked hostname now.
! 654: - Don't read SSL client data before DNS resolver is finished which could
! 655: have resulted in discarding the resolved client hostname and IDENT
! 656: reply afterwards, because in some situations (timing dependent) the
! 657: NICK and USER commands could have already been read in from the client,
! 658: stored in the buffer, and been processed.
! 659: Thanks to Julian Brost for reporting the issue and testing, and to
! 660: Federico G. Schwindt <fgsch@lodoss.net> for helping to debug it!
! 661: - Increase password length limit to 64 characters. (Closes bug #154)
! 662: - doc/Services.txt: Update Anope status and URL.
! 663: - Clean up Xcode project file, remove outdated files, add missing ones.
! 664: - Update Doxygen configuration file.
! 665: - configure: search for iconv_open as well as libiconv_open, because
! 666: on some installations iconv_open() is actually libiconv_open().
! 667: iconv_open() is the glibc version while libiconv_open() is the
! 668: libiconv version, now both variants are supported. (Closes bug #151)
! 669: - ngIRCd now accepts user names including "@" characters, saves the
! 670: unmodified name for authentication but stores only the part in front
! 671: of the "@" character as "IRC user name". And the latter is how
! 672: ircd2.11, Bahamut, and irc-seven behave as well. (Closes bug #155)
! 673: - Lots of IRC "information functions" like ADMIN, INFO, ... now accept
! 674: server masks and names of connected users (in addition to server names)
! 675: for specifying the target server of the command. (Closes bug #153)
! 676: - Implement a new configuration option "IdleTimeout" in the "[Limits]"
! 677: section of the configuration file which can be used to set a timeout
! 678: in seconds after which the whole daemon will shutdown when no more
! 679: connections are left active after handling at least one client.
! 680: The default is 0, "never".
! 681: This can be useful for testing or when ngIRCd is started using "socket
! 682: activation" with systemd(8), for example.
! 683: - Implement support for systemd(8) "socket activation".
! 684: - contrib/README: add description for more files.
! 685: - Enable WHOIS to display information about IRC Services using the new
! 686: numeric 310(RPL_WHOISSERVICE) This numeric is used for this purpose by
! 687: InspIRCd, for example -- but as usual, other numerics are in use, too,
! 688: like 613 in UltimateIRCd ...
! 689: Please note that neither the Operator (+o) not the "bot status" (+B)
! 690: of an IRC service is displayed in the output.
! 691: - Exit message: use singular & plural :-)
! 692: - autogen.sh: Check for autoconf/automake wrapper scripts
! 693: - Add missing punctuation marks in log messages, adjust some severity
! 694: levels, and make SSL-related messages more readable.
! 695: - AUTHORS file: Update list of contributors.
! 696: - Update systemd(8) example configuration files in ./contrib/ directory:
! 697: the "ngircd.service" file now uses the "forking" service type which
! 698: enhances the log messages shown by "systemctl status ngircd.service",
! 699: and the new "ngircd.socket" file configures a systemd socket that
! 700: configures a socket for ngIRCd and launches the daemon on demand.
! 701: - Enhance help system and the HELP command: now a "help text file" can be
! 702: set using the new configuration option "HelpFile" ("global" section),
! 703: which is read in and parsed on server startup and configuration reload,
! 704: and then is used to output individual help texts to specific topics.
! 705: Please see the file ./doc/Commands.txt for details.
! 706:
! 707: ngIRCd 20.3 (2013-08-23)
! 708:
! 709: - Security: Fix a denial of service bug (server crash) which could happen
! 710: when the configuration option "NoticeAuth" is enabled (which is NOT the
! 711: default) and ngIRCd failed to send the "notice auth" messages to new
! 712: clients connecting to the server (CVE-2013-5580).
! 713:
! 714: ngIRCd 20.2 (2013-02-15)
! 715:
! 716: - Security: Fix a denial of service bug in the function handling KICK
! 717: commands that could be used by arbitrary users to crash the daemon
! 718: (CVE-2013-1747).
! 719: - WHO command: Use the currently "displayed hostname" (which can be cloaked!)
! 720: for hostname matching, not the real one. In other words: don't display all
! 721: the cloaked users on a specific real hostname!
! 722: - configure: The header file "netinet/in_systm.h" already is optional in
! 723: ngIRCd, so don't require it in the configure script. Now ngIRCd can be
! 724: built on Minix 3 again :-)
! 725: - Return better "Connection not registered as server link" errors: Now ngIRCd
! 726: returns a more specific error message for numeric ERR_NOTREGISTERED(451)
! 727: when a regular user tries to use a command that isn't allowed for users but
! 728: for servers.
! 729: - Don't report ERR_NEEDMOREPARAMS(461) when a MDOE command with more modes
! 730: than nicknames is handled, as well as for channel limit and key changes
! 731: without specifying the limit or key parameters.
! 732: This is how a lot (all?) other IRC servers behave, including ircd2.11,
! 733: InspIRCd, and ircd-seven. And because of clients (tested with Textual and
! 734: mIRC) sending bogus MODE commands like "MODE -ooo nick", end-users got the
! 735: expected result as well as correct but misleading error messages ...
! 736: - Correctly detect when SSL subsystem must be initialized and take
! 737: outgoing connections (server links!) into account, too.
! 738: - autogen.sh: Enforce serial test harness on GNU automake >=1.13. The
! 739: new parallel test harness which is enabled by default starting with
! 740: automake 1.13 isn't compatible with our test suite.
! 741: And don't use "egrep -o", instead use "sed", because it isn't portable
! 742: and not available on OpenBSD, for example.
! 743:
! 744: ngIRCd 20.1 (2013-01-02)
! 745:
! 746: - Allow ERROR command on server and service links only, ignore them and
! 747: add a penalty time on all other link types.
! 748: - Enforced mode setting by IRC Operators: Only check the channel user
! 749: modes of the initiator if he is joined to the channel and not an IRC
! 750: operator enforcing modes (which requires the configuration option
! 751: "OperCanUseMode" to be enabled), because trying to check channel user
! 752: modes of a non-member results in an assertion when running with debug
! 753: code or could crash the daemon otherwise. This closes bug #147, thanks
! 754: to James Kirwill <james.kirwill@bk.ru> for tracking this down!
! 755: - Fix build system to cope with spaces in path names.
! 756: - Code cleanups, mostly to fix build warnings on Cygwin.
! 757:
! 758: ngIRCd 20 (2012-12-17)
! 759:
! 760: - Allow user names ("INDENT") up to 20 characters when ngIRCd has not
! 761: been configured for "strict RFC mode". This is useful if you are using
! 762: external (PAM) authentication mechanisms that require longer user names.
! 763: Patch suggested by Brett Smith <brett@w3.org>, see
! 764: <http://arthur.barton.de/pipermail/ngircd-ml/2012-October/000579.html>.
! 765:
! 766: ngIRCd 20~rc2 (2012-12-02)
! 767: - Rework cloaked hostname handling and implement the "METADATA cloakhost"
! 768: subcommand: Now ngIRCd uses two fields internally, one to store the
! 769: "real" hostname and one to save the "cloaked" hostname. This allows
! 770: "foreign servers" (aka "IRC services") to alter the real and cloaked
! 771: hostnames of clients without problems, even when the user itself issues
! 772: additional "MODE +x" and "MODE -x" commands.
! 773: - RPL_UMODEIS: send correct target name, even on server links.
! 774: - Update platformtest.sh to follow autoconf changes and only generate
! 775: the "configure" script when it is missing.
! 776: - Fix the test suite to correctly execute test scripts even when stdout
! 777: is redirected.
! 778: - Fix some compiler warnings on NetBSD and OpenBSD.
! 779:
! 780: ngIRCd 20~rc1 (2012-11-11)
! 781: - Update doc/Services.txt: describe the upcoming version of Anope 1.9.8,
! 782: then including a protocol module for ngIRCd. And remove our own patches
! 783: in ./contrib/Anope because they aren't supported any more ...
! 784: - Implement new "METADATA" command which can be used by remote servers
! 785: and IRC services to update client metadata like the client info text
! 786: ("real name"), user name, and hostname, and use this command to
! 787: configure an cloaked hostname (user mode "+x") on remote servers:
! 788: This prevents "double cloaking" of hostnames and even cloaked
! 789: hostnames are in sync on all servers supporting "METADATA" now.
! 790: - Fix error message when trying to join non-predefined channels and the
! 791: "PredefChannelsOnly" configuration option is set.
! 792: - Implement new IRC "SVSNICK" command to allow remote servers (and IRC
! 793: services) to change nicknames of already registered users. The SVSNICK
! 794: command itself doesn't change the nickname, but it becomes forwarded
! 795: to the server to which the user is connected to. And then this server
! 796: initiates the real nickname changing using regular NICK commands.
! 797: This allows to run mixed networks with old servers not supporting the
! 798: SVSNICK command, because SVSNICK commands for nicknames on such servers
! 799: are silently ignored and don't cause a desynchronization of the network.
! 800: - Make server reconnect time a little bit more random, so that two
! 801: servers trying to connect to each other asynchronously don't try this
! 802: in exactly the same time periods and kick each other off ...
! 803: - Don't accept connections for servers already being linked: there was a
! 804: time frame that could result in one connection overwriting the other,
! 805: e. g. the incoming connection overwriting the status of the outgoing
! 806: one. And this could lead to all kind of weirdness (even crashes!) later
! 807: on: now such incoming connections are dropped.
! 808: - New configuration option "MaxListSize" to configure the maximum number
! 809: of channels returned by a LIST command. The default is 100, as before.
! 810: - Implement user mode "b", "block messages": when a user has set mode "b",
! 811: all private messages and notices to this user are blocked if they don't
! 812: originate from a registered user, an IRC Op, server or service. The
! 813: originator gets an error numeric sent back in this case,
! 814: ERR_NONONREG_MSG (486), which is used by UnrealIRCd, too. (Closes #144)
! 815: - WHOIS: Not only show RPL_WHOISHOST_MSG to local IRC operators, but show
! 816: it to all IRC operators in the network. And don't show it to anybody if
! 817: the "more privacy" configuration option is enabled. (Closes #134)
! 818: - Test suite: make expect scripts more verbose displaying dots for each
! 819: reply of the server that it is waiting for.
! 820: - WHOIS: Implement numeric RPL_WHOISMODES_MSG (379) and show user modes in
! 821: the reply of the WHOIS command for the user himself or, if MorePrivacy
! 822: isn't set, for request initiated by an IRC operator. (Closes #129)
! 823: - Implement channel mode "V" (invite disallow): If the new channel mode
! 824: "V" is set, the INVITE command becomes invalid and all clients get the
! 825: new ERR_NOINVITE_MSG (518) reply. (Closes #143)
! 826: - KICK-protect IRC services.
! 827: - Implement channel mode "Q" and user mode "q": Both modes protect users
! 828: from channel kicks: only IRC operators and servers can kick users having
! 829: mode "q" or in channels with mode "Q". (Closes #141)
! 830: - Debian: require "telnet" or "telnet-ssl" for building and enable
! 831: CHARCONV in ngircd-full[-dbg] variants.
! 832: - Send RPL_REHASHING (382) numeric if a REHASH command was accepted.
! 833: - Fix spelling and variable names in some log messages.
! 834: - Allow users to "cloak" their hostname only when the configuration
! 835: variable "CloakHostModeX" (introduced in 19.2) is set. Otherwise, only
! 836: IRC operators, other servers, and services are allowed to set the user
! 837: mode "+x": this prevents regular users from changing their hostmask to
! 838: the name of the IRC server itself, which confused quite a few people ;-)
! 839: (Closes #133)
! 840: - New configuration option "OperChanPAutoOp": If disabled, IRC operators
! 841: don't become channel operators in persistent channels when joining.
! 842: Enabled by default, which has been the behavior of ngIRCd up to this
! 843: patch. (Closes #135)
! 844: - Allow IRC operators to see secret (+s) channels in LIST command as long
! 845: as the "MorePrivacy" configuration option isn't enabled in the
! 846: configuration file. (Closes #136)
! 847: - Enhance build system: Support new (>=1.12) and old (<=1.11) GNU automake
! 848: versions, update checks for required and optional features, enable
! 849: colored test output of automake (if available), rename configure.in to
! 850: more modern configure.ac, include .mailmap and all build-system files in
! 851: distribution archives and no longer require a GIT tree to detect the
! 852: correct version string.
! 853: - Update documentation: add doc/Contributing.txt and include version
! 854: numbers in doc/Modes.txt.
! 855: - Free all listen ports on initialization: now listen ports can be
! 856: reconfigured on runtime using a configuration reload.
! 857: - Initialize SSL when needed only, and disable SSL on errors.
! 858: - Implement new (optional) IRC+ "CHARCONV" command to set a client
! 859: character set that the server translates all messages to/from UTF-8.
! 860: This feature requires the "libiconv" library and must be enabled using
! 861: the new "--with-iconv" option of the ./configure script. See
! 862: doc/Protocol.txt for details. (Closes #109)
! 863: - Allow limited punctuation in usernames, for better PAM integration.
! 864: - Correctly re-initialize signal handlers on RESTART commands.
! 865: - Show a warning on startup if the configuration file is not a full path:
! 866: ngIRCd is a long-running process and changes its working directory to
! 867: "/" to not block mounted filesystems and the like when running as daemon
! 868: ("not in the foreground"); therefore the path to the configuration file
! 869: must be relative to "/" (or the chroot() directory), which basically is
! 870: "not relative", to ensure that "kill -HUP" and the "REHASH" command work
! 871: as expected later on. (Closes #127)
! 872: - Make the "&SERVER" channel definable in a [Channel] configuration block,
! 873: which enables server operators to overwrite the built-in topic and
! 874: channel modes. (Closes #131)
! 875: - Don't limit list size of "WHO #channel" commands, because it makes no
! 876: sense to not return all the users in that channel, so I removed the
! 877: check. But if there are more than MAX_RPL_WHO(25) replies, the client
! 878: requesting the list will be "penalized" one second more, then 2 in
! 879: total. (Closes #125)
! 880: - Make ngIRCd buildable using the kqueue() IO interface on FreeBSD 4.x.
! 881: - Fix the "NoticeAuth" configuration option when using SSL connections and
! 882: enhance the message to show the hostname and IDENT reply of the client.
! 883: - Introduce numeric RPL_HOSTHIDDEN_MSG (396): This numeric is sent to the
! 884: client each time it changes its displayed hostname using "MODE +/-x",
! 885: and if "CloakHost" is set right after the MOTD has been sent.
! 886: - Fix USERHOST not displaying the correctly cloaked hostname.
! 887: - Implement user mode "B" ("Bot flag"): it is settable and unsettable by
! 888: every (non-restricted) client. This is how Unreal and InspIRCd do
! 889: behave, and so do we :-)
! 890: - Dynamically allocate memory for connection passwords: This a) saves
! 891: memory for clients not using passwords at all and b) allows for
! 892: "arbitrarily" long passwords.
! 893: - Implement channel mode "M": Only the server, identified users and IRC
! 894: operators are able to talk in such a channel.
! 895: - Block nicknames that are reserved for services and are defined using the
! 896: configuration variable "ServiceMask" in "Server" blocks; And this
! 897: variable now can handle more than one mask separated by commas.
! 898: - Now "make uninstall" removes the installed "ngircd.conf" file, if it is
! 899: still equal to our "sample-ngircd.conf" file and therefore hasn't been
! 900: modified by the user. If it has been modified, it isn't removed and a
! 901: notice is displayed to the user. And "make install" now displays a
! 902: message when no ngircd.conf file exists and the "sample-ngircd.conf"
! 903: file will be installed as a starting point.
! 904: - Add contrib/ngircd.service, a systemd service file for ngircd.
! 905: - Implemented XOP channel user modes: "Half Op" ("+h", prefix "%") can set
! 906: the channel modes +imntvIbek and kick all +v and normal users; "Admin"
! 907: ("+a", prefix "&") can set channel modes +imntvIbekoRsz and kick all +o,
! 908: +h, +v and normal users; and "Owner" ("+q", prefix "~") can set channel
! 909: modes +imntvIbekoRsz and kick all +a, +o, +h, +v and normal users.
! 910: - Implement hashed cloaked hostnames for both the "CloakHost" and
! 911: "CloakHostModeX" configuration options: now the admin can use the new
! 912: '%x' placeholder to insert a hashed version of the clients hostname,
! 913: and the new configuration option "CloakHostSalt" defines the salt for
! 914: the hash function. When "CloakHostSalt" is not set (the default), a
! 915: random salt will be generated after each server restart. (Closes #133)
! 916:
! 917: ngIRCd 19.2 (2012-06-19)
! 918:
! 919: - doc/Capabilities.txt: document "multi-prefix" capability
! 920:
! 921: ngIRCd 19.2~rc1 (2012-06-13)
! 922: - New configuration option "CloakHostModeX" to configure the hostname
! 923: that gets used for IRC clients which have user mode "+x" enabled.
! 924: Up to now, the name of the IRC server itself has been used for this,
! 925: which still is the default when "CloakHostModeX" isn't set.
! 926: - Correctly handle asynchronously re-established server links: a race
! 927: condition could let the daemon loose track of an already re-established
! 928: incoming server link while preparing its own outgoing connection.
! 929: Peers that both try to connect each other could have been affected.
! 930: - Log a debug message when SIGUSR2 is handled in debug mode.
! 931: - Only allow alphanumeric characters in user-supplied user names of
! 932: USER command and IDENT replies.
! 933: - Change wording of "TLS initialized" message to make it more consistent.
! 934: - Don't leak file descriptors on error path when creating "PID files".
! 935: - Add missing mode "r" to CHANMODES in 005 "ISUPPORT" numeric.
! 936: - Update doc/Modes.txt and doc/Platforms.txt documents.
! 937: - contrib/platformtest.sh: correctly detect Open64 C compiler and handle
! 938: "CC=xxx MAKE=yyy ./platformtest.sh" calling convention.
! 939: - Add instructions for setting up Atheme IRC services.
! 940: - Implement support for IRC capability handling, the new "CAP" command,
! 941: and capability "multi-prefix" which allows both the NAME and WHO command
! 942: handlers to return more than one "class prefix" to the client.
! 943: - Update Xcode project files: reference missing documentation files.
! 944: - Fix: Don't ignore "permission denied" errors when enabling chroot.
! 945: - FAQ: enhance description of chroot setup.
! 946:
! 947: ngIRCd 19.1 (2012-03-19)
! 948:
! 949: - Fix gcc warning (v4.6.3), initialize "list" variable to NULL.
! 950: - Fix typos: "recieved" -> "received", "Please not" -> "Please note",
! 951: and fix lintian(1) warning ""hyphen-used-as-minus-sign", too.
! 952: - Really include _all_ patches to build the Anope module into the
! 953: distribution archive ... ooops!
! 954: - getpid.sh: Fix test case error for Debian using sbuild(1).
! 955: - Don't log "ngIRCd hello message" two times when starting up.
! 956:
! 957: ngIRCd 19 (2012-02-29)
! 958:
! 959: - Update build system: bump config.guess and config.sub files used by
! 960: GNU autoconf/automake to recent versions.
! 961: - Fix configuration file parser: don't accept "[SSL]" blocks in the
! 962: configuration file when no SSL support is built in ngIRCd.
! 963: - Fix building ngIRCd with old gcc versions (e. g. 2.7.2).
! 964: - Correctly re-open syslog logging after reading of configuration
! 965: file: Syslog logging has been initialized before reading the
! 966: configuration, so ngIRCd always used the default facility and ignored
! 967: the "SyslogFacility" configuration option ...
! 968: Thanks to Patrik Schindler for reporting this issue!
! 969:
! 970: ngIRCd 19~rc1 (2012-02-12)
! 971: - Enhance command limits for server links: the limit now is dependent
! 972: on the number of users connected in the network and higher while
! 973: servers are joining the network to make the login of servers faster.
! 974: - Log more information about server synchronization.
! 975: - Update preliminary ngIRCd protocol module for Anope 1.9.6, which now
! 976: is the only supported version.
! 977: - New numeric RPL_WHOISHOST_MSG(378), which returns the DNS host name
! 978: (if available) and the IP address of a client in the WHOIS reply.
! 979: Only the user itself and local IRC operators get this numeric.
! 980: - Implement channel exception list (mode 'e'). This allows a channel
! 981: operator to define exception masks that allow users to join the
! 982: channel even when a "ban" would match and prevent them from joining:
! 983: the exception list (e) overrides the ban list (b).
! 984: - PRIVMSG and NOTICE: Handle nick!user@host masks case-insensitive.
! 985: - Implement user mode 'C': If the target user of a PRIVMSG or NOTICE
! 986: command has the user mode 'C' set, it is required that both sender
! 987: and receiver are on the same channel. This prevents private flooding
! 988: by completely unknown clients.
! 989: - New RPL_WHOISREGNICK_MSG(307) numeric in WHOIS command replies: it
! 990: indicates if a nickname is registered (if user mode 'R' set).
! 991: - Limit channel invite, ban, and exception lists to 50 entries and fix
! 992: duplicate check and error messages when adding already listed entries
! 993: or deleting no (longer) existing ones.
! 994: - Fix both ERR_SUMMONDISABLED(445) and ERR_USERSDISABLED(446) replies.
! 995: - MODE command: correctly return ERR_UNKNOWNMODE(472) numeric for
! 996: unknown channel modes, instead of ERR_UMODEUNKNOWNFLAG(501).
! 997: - ISUPPORT(005) numeric: add "O", "R", and "z" modes to "CHANMODES",
! 998: add "EXCEPTS=e" and "INVEX=I", add "MAXLIST=beI:50".
! 999: - Limit the number of list items in the reply of LIST (100), WHO (25),
! 1000: WHOIS (10), and WHOWAS (25) commands.
! 1001: - LIST command: compare pattern case insensitive.
! 1002: - Limit the MODE command to handle a maximum number of 5 channel modes
! 1003: that require an argument (+Ibkl) per call and report this number
! 1004: in the ISUPPORT(005) numeric: "MODES=5".
! 1005: - Fix handling of channel mode sequence with/without arguments.
! 1006: For example, don't generate wrong error messages when handling
! 1007: "MODE #chan +IIIIItn *!aa@b *!bb@c *!cc@d *!dd@e *!ee@f".
! 1008: - When sending data on a connection, only try to get the type of
! 1009: the client if there still is one assigned. This could trigger an
! 1010: assertion and end the daemon in some error paths.
! 1011: - Don't try to close already closed/invalid sockets to forked child
! 1012: processes. This could potentially crash the daemon in some cases
! 1013: with IDENT lookups enabled.
! 1014: - WHOIS command: make sure that the reply ends with RPL_ENDOFWHOIS,
! 1015: don't answer queries for IRC servers, make sure mask matching is
! 1016: case-insensitive, and that RPL_ENDOFWHOIS numeric is sent with the
! 1017: unmodified mask (like it has been received from the client).
! 1018: - LINKS command: support <mask> parameter to limit the reply.
! 1019: - Add 1 second penalty for every further target on PRIVMSG/NOTICE
! 1020: commands: this reduces the possibility of flooding channels with
! 1021: commands like "PRIVMSG/NOTICE #a,#n,#c,... :message" a little bit.
! 1022: Problem noticed by Cahata, thanks!
! 1023: - Display correct error message when "Server{UID|GID}" variable in the
! 1024: configuration file is invalid (not a number and no existing user).
! 1025: - Update Copyright notices for 2012 :-)
! 1026: - JOIN command: don't stop handling of channel lists when a single
! 1027: channel cannot be joined (because of bad name, wrong key or channel
! 1028: limit reached), but report an error and continue. And don't check
! 1029: the channel limit and don't report with "too many channels" when
! 1030: trying to join a channel that the client already is a member of.
! 1031: - ISON command: reply with the correct upper-/lowercase nicknames.
! 1032: - New configuration option "PAMIsOptional": when set, clients not
! 1033: sending a password are still allowed to connect: they won't become
! 1034: "identified" and keep the "~" character prepended to their supplied
! 1035: user name. See "man 5 ngircd.conf" for details.
! 1036: - Fixed handling of WHO commands. This fixes two bugs: "WHO <nick>"
! 1037: returned nothing at all if the user was "+i" (reported by Cahata,
! 1038: thanks) and "WHO <nick|nickmask>" returned channel names instead
! 1039: of "*" when the user was member of a (visible) channel.
! 1040: - Fixed some spelling errors in documentation and code comments
! 1041: (Thanks to Christoph Biedl).
! 1042: - contrib/Debian/control: Update and complete "Build-Depends" and
! 1043: update our Debian package descriptions with "official" ones.
! 1044: - Fixed typo in two error messages.
! 1045: - LUSERS reply: only count channels that are visible to the requesting
! 1046: client, so the existence of secret channels is no longer revealed by
! 1047: using LUSERS. Reported by Cahata, thanks!
! 1048: - Unknown user and channel modes no longer stop the mode parser, but
! 1049: are simply ignored. Therefore modes after the unknown one are now
! 1050: handled. This is how ircd2.10/ircd2.11/ircd-seven behave, at least.
! 1051: Reported by Cahata, thanks!
! 1052: - README: Update list of implemented commands.
! 1053: - Log better error messages when rejecting clients.
! 1054: - Implement IRC commands "GLINE" and "KLINE" to ban users. G-Lines are
! 1055: synchronized between server on peering, K-Lines are local only.
! 1056: If you use "*!<user>@<host>" or "*!*@<host>" masks, these connections
! 1057: are blocked even before the user is fully logged in (before PASS,
! 1058: NICK, and USER commands have been processed) and before the child
! 1059: processes for authentication are forked, so resource usage is smaller.
! 1060: - Xcode: update project file for Xcode 4.2 and define HAVE_GAI_STRERROR
! 1061: for Mac OS X Xcode builds.
! 1062: - ./configure: Fix logic and quoting of poll() detection code: only use
! 1063: poll() when poll.h exists as well.
! 1064: - Suppress 'Can't create pre-defined channel: invalid name: ""' message.
! 1065: - whois-test: handle local host name = "localhost.localdomain" using the
! 1066: pattern "localhost*" for valid local host names.
! 1067: - sample-ngircd.conf: show correct default for "PAM" variable: The
! 1068: default of "PAM" is "yes" when ngIRCd has been configured to use it,
! 1069: so show the correct default value in the sample configuration file.
! 1070: (Closes #119)
! 1071: - Update GPL 2 license text to current version.
! 1072: - Only close "unrelated" sockets in forked child processes: This fixes
! 1073: the problem that ngIRCd can't do any IDENT lookups because of the
! 1074: socket has already been closed in the child process.
! 1075: The bug has been introduced starting with ngIRCd 17 ... :-(
! 1076: (commit ID 6ebb31ab35e)
! 1077: - Added doc/Modes.txt: document modes supported by ngIRCd.
! 1078: - Implement user mode "R": indicates that the nickname of this user
! 1079: is "registered". This mode isn't handled by ngIRCd itself, but must
! 1080: be set and unset by IRC services like Anope.
! 1081: - Implement channel mode "R": only registered users (having the user
! 1082: mode "R" set) are allowed to join this channel.
! 1083: - Test suite: bind to loopback (127.0.0.1) interface only.
! 1084: - New 2nd message "Nickname too long" for error code 432.
! 1085: - Xcode: Mac OS X config.h: support 10.5 as well as 10.6/10.7 SDK.
! 1086: - Xcode: exclude more Xcode 4 specific directories in ".gitignore".
! 1087: - Disconnect directly linked servers sending QUIT. Without this,
! 1088: the server becomes removed from the network and the client list,
! 1089: but the connection isn't shut down at all ...
! 1090: - contrib/ngindent: detect "gindent" as GNU indent.
! 1091: - Handle unknown user and channel modes: these modes are saved and
! 1092: forwarded to other servers, but ignored otherwise.
! 1093: - Handle channel user modes 'a', 'h', and 'q' from remote servers.
! 1094: These channel user modes aren't used for anything at the moment,
! 1095: but ngIRCd knows that these three modes are "channel user modes"
! 1096: and not "channel modes", that is that these modes take an "nickname"
! 1097: argument. Like unknown user and channel modes, these modes are saved
! 1098: and forwarded to other servers, but ignored otherwise.
! 1099: - Correctly inform clients when other servers change their user modes.
! 1100: This is required for some services to work correctly.
! 1101: - Test suite: make getpid.sh work even when run as root.
! 1102: - Spoofed prefixes: close connection on non-server links only.
! 1103: On server-links, spoofed prefixes can happen because of the
! 1104: asynchronous nature of the IRC protocol. So don't break server-
! 1105: links, only log a message and ignore the command. (Closes #113)
! 1106:
! 1107: ngIRCd 18 (2011-07-10)
! 1108:
! 1109: - Update timestamp of ngircd(8) manual page.
! 1110: - Add preliminary ngIRCd protocol module for Anope 1.9 to contrib/Anope/.
! 1111: - Don't register WHOWAS information when "MorePrivacy" option is in effect.
! 1112:
! 1113: ngIRCd 18~rc2 (2011-06-29)
! 1114: - Update documentation, fix some wording, and use a spellchecker :-)
! 1115: - ngircd.conf.5: strip "SSL" prefix from variables in [SSL] section.
! 1116: - ngircd.8: document debugging options.
! 1117: - GnuTLS: use 1024 bits as minimum size of the DH prime. This enables
! 1118: ngIRCd to accept incoming connections from other servers and clients
! 1119: that "only" use at least 1024 bits again, like ngIRCd 17 did (and no
! 1120: longer requires 2048 bits for incoming connections).
! 1121:
! 1122: ngIRCd 18~rc1 (2011-06-27)
! 1123: - PAM warning message: make clear which "Password" config option is ignored.
! 1124: - New configuration option "MorePrivacy" to "censor" some user information.
! 1125: When enabled, signon time and idle time is left out. Part and quit
! 1126: messages are made to look the same. WHOWAS requests are silently dropped.
! 1127: All of this is useful if one wish to conceal users that access the ngircd
! 1128: servers from TOR or I2P.
! 1129: - New configuration option "ScrubCTCP" to scrub incoming CTCP commands. If
! 1130: activated, the server silently drops incoming CTCP requests from both
! 1131: other servers and from users. The server that scrubs CTCP will not forward
! 1132: the CTCP requests to other servers in the network either, which can spell
! 1133: trouble if not every oper knows about the CTCP-scrubbing. Scrubbing CTCP
! 1134: commands also means that it is not possible to send files between users.
! 1135: There is one exception to the CTCP scrubbing performed: ACTION ("/me
! 1136: commands") requests are not scrubbed.
! 1137: - Display configuration errors more prominent on "--configtest".
! 1138: - Restructure ngIRCd configuration file: introduce new [Limits], [Options],
! 1139: and [SSL] sections. The intention of this restructuring is to make the
! 1140: [Global] section much cleaner, so that it only contains variables that
! 1141: most installations must adjust to the local requirements. All the optional
! 1142: variables are moved to [Limits], for configurable limits and timers of
! 1143: ngIRCd, and [Options], for optional features. All SSL-related variables
! 1144: are moved to [SSL] and the "SSL"-prefix is stripped. The old variables in
! 1145: the [Global] section are deprecated now, but are still recognized.
! 1146: => Don't forget to check your configuration, use "ngircd --configtest"!
! 1147: - New documentation "how to contribute": doc/Contributing.txt.
! 1148: - Slightly fix error handling when connecting to remote servers.
! 1149: - GnuTLS: bump DH-bitsize to 2048: this solves the problem that some clients
! 1150: refuse to connect to severs that only offer 1024. For interoperability it
! 1151: would be best to just use 4096 bits, but that takes minutes, even on
! 1152: current hardware ...
! 1153: - contrib/platformtest.sh: fix gcc version detection.
! 1154: - Avoid needlessly scary 'buffer overflow' messages: When the write buffer
! 1155: space grows too large, ngIRCd has to disconnect the client to avoid
! 1156: wasting too much memory, which is logged with a scary 'write buffer
! 1157: overflow' message. Change this to a more descriptive wording.
! 1158: - Require server prefixes for most commands on RFC2812 links. RFC1459 links
! 1159: (often used by services, for example) are not affected.
! 1160: - Mac OS X: update installer functionality, texts, and add our logo :-)
! 1161: - New configuration option "RequireAuthPing": PING-PONG on login. When
! 1162: enabled, this configuration option lets ngIRCd send a PING with an numeric
! 1163: "token" to clients logging in; and it will not become registered in the
! 1164: network until the client responds with the correct PONG.
! 1165: - New configuration option "NoticeAuth": send NOTICE AUTH on connect. When
! 1166: active, ngircd will send "NOTICE AUTH" messages on client connect time
! 1167: like e.g. snircd (QuakeNet) does.
! 1168: - Generate WALLOPS message on SQUIT from IRC operators; so SQUIT now behaves
! 1169: like CONNECT and DISCONNECT commands, when called by an IRC operator.
! 1170: - Allow servers to send more commands in the first 10 seconds ("burst"). This
! 1171: helps to speed up server login and network synchronization.
! 1172: - Add support for up to 3 targets in WHOIS queries, also allow up to one
! 1173: wildcard query from local hosts. Follows ircd 2.10 implementation rather
! 1174: than RFC 2812. At most 10 entries are returned per wildcard expansion.
! 1175: - ngircd.conf(5) manual page: describe types of configuration variables
! 1176: (booleans, text strings, integer numbers) and add type information to each
! 1177: variable description.
! 1178: - Don't use "the.net" in sample-ngircd.conf, use "example.net".
! 1179: - Terminate incoming connections on HTTP commands "GET" and "POST".
! 1180: - New configuration option "CloakHost": when set, this host name is used for
! 1181: every client instead of the real DNS host name (or IP address).
! 1182: - New configuration option "CloakUserToNick": when enabled, ngIRCd sets
! 1183: every clients' user name to their nickname and hides the user name
! 1184: supplied by the IRC client.
! 1185: - doc/Protocol.txt: Update description of the CHANINFO and WEBIRC commands.
! 1186: - Doxygen'ify (document) much more source files; code cleanup ...
! 1187: - Make write buffers bigger, but flush early. Before this change, a client
! 1188: got disconnected if the buffer flushing at 4k failed, now regular clients
! 1189: can store up to 32k and servers up 64k even if flushing is not possible at
! 1190: the moment. This enhances reliability on slow links.
! 1191: - Don't access possibly free'd CLIENT structure. Ooops.
! 1192: - Allow "Port = 0" in [Server] blocks. Port number 0 marks remote servers
! 1193: that try to connect to this daemon, but where this daemon never tries to
! 1194: establish a connection on its own: only incoming connections are allowed.
! 1195: - Configuration: fix 'Value of "..." is not a number!' for negative values.
! 1196: - Enable WHOIS command to return information about services.
! 1197: - Implement channel mode 'O': "IRC operators only". This channel mode is
! 1198: used on DALnet (bahamut), for example.
! 1199: - Remove support for ZeroConf/Bonjour/Rendezvous service registration
! 1200: including the "[No]ZeroConf" configuration option.
! 1201: - TOPIC command: test for channel admin rights correctly: this enables other
! 1202: servers, services and IRC operators to change channel topics, even when
! 1203: the client is not joined to this channel.
! 1204: - Deprecate NoXX-Options in ngircd.conf and move new variants into our new
! 1205: [Options] section: 'NoDNS=no' => 'DNS=yes', 'NoIdent=no' => 'Ident=yes',
! 1206: 'NoPAM=no' => 'PAM=yes', and 'NoZeroConf=no' => 'ZeroConf=yes' (and
! 1207: vice-versa). The defaults are adjusted accordingly and the old variables
! 1208: in [Global] are still accepted, so there is no functional change.
! 1209: - Fix confusing "adding to invite list" debug messages: adding entries to
! 1210: ban list produced 'invite list' debug output ...
! 1211: - Don't throttle services and servers being registered.
! 1212: - Xcode: correctly sort files :-)
! 1213: - Don't assert() when searching a client for an invalid server token (this is
! 1214: only relevant when a trusted server on a server-server link sends invalid
! 1215: commands).
! 1216:
! 1217: ngIRCd 17.1 (2010-12-19)
! 1218:
! 1219: - --configtest: remember if MOTD is configured by file or phrase
! 1220: - Enhance log messages when establishing server links a little bit
! 1221: - Reset ID of outgoing server link on DNS error correctly
! 1222: - Don't log critical (or worse) messages to stderr
! 1223: - Manual page ngircd(8): add SIGNALS section
! 1224: - Manual pages: update and simplify AUTHORS section
! 1225: - Remove "error file" when compiled with debug code enabled
! 1226: - README: Updated list of implemented commands
! 1227: - add doc/README-Interix.txt and doc/Bopm.txt to distribution tarball
! 1228: - Merge branch 'numeric-329'
! 1229: - add doc/PAM.txt to distribution tarball
! 1230: - New numeric 329: get channel creation time on "MODE #chan" commands
! 1231: - Save channel creation time; new function Channel_CreationTime()
! 1232:
! 1233: ngIRCd 17 (2010-11-07)
! 1234:
! 1235: - doc: change path names in sample-ngircd.conf depending on sysconfdir
! 1236: - Fix up generation and distribution of sample-ngircd.conf
! 1237: - contrib/ngircd-redhat.init: updated email address of Naoya Nakazawa
! 1238: - contrib/platformtest.sh: make command name quoting consistent
! 1239:
! 1240: ngIRCd 17~rc3 (2010-10-27)
! 1241: - Xcode builds: detect version number correctly, updated project file
! 1242: to use the Mac OS X 10.5.x SDK, disable pam_fail_delay() because it
! 1243: is only available starting with Mac OS X 10.6, and generate a default
! 1244: PAM configuration for the Mac OS X Installer.app package of ngIRCd.
! 1245: - Debian: updated standards version to 3.9.1, added libpam0g-dev to the
! 1246: dependencies, and install a default /etc/pam.d/ngircd allowing all logins.
! 1247: - Make contrib/platformtest.sh more portable.
! 1248: - Fix connect attempts to further IP addresses of outgoing server links.
! 1249:
! 1250: ngIRCd 17~rc2 (2010-10-25)
! 1251: - ZeroConf: include header files missing since commit a988bbc86a.
! 1252: - Generate ngIRCd version number from GIT tag.
! 1253: - Make source code compatible with ansi2knr again. This allows to compile
! 1254: ngIRCd using a pre-ANSI K&R C compiler again.
! 1255: - ./configure: check if C compiler can compile ISO Standard C.
! 1256: - ./configure: check support for C prototypes again.
! 1257: - Don't use PARAMS() macro for function implementations.
! 1258: - Added m68k/apple/aux3.0.1 (gcc 2.7.2) to doc/Platforms.txt.
! 1259: - Only try to set FD_CLOEXEC if this flag is defined.
! 1260: - Only use "__attribute__ ((unused))" if GCC >=2.8 is used.
! 1261: - doc/Makefile.am: don't set docdir, automake handles it already.
! 1262:
! 1263: ngIRCd 17~rc1 (2010-10-11)
! 1264: - New configuration option "NoZeroConf" to disable service registration at
! 1265: runtime even if ngIRCd is compiled with support for ZeroConf (e.g. using
! 1266: Howl, Avahi or on Mac OS X).
! 1267: - New configuration option "SyslogFacility" to define the syslog "facility"
! 1268: (the "target"), to which ngIRCd should send its log messages.
! 1269: Possible values are system dependent, but most probably "auth", "daemon",
! 1270: "user" and "local1" through "local7" are possible values; see syslog(3).
! 1271: Default is "local5" for historical reasons.
! 1272: - Dump the "internal server state" (configured servers, established
! 1273: connections and known clients) to the console or syslog when receiving
! 1274: the SIGUSR2 signal and debug mode is enabled.
! 1275: - Enable the daemon to disable and enable "debug mode" on runtime using
! 1276: signal SIGUSR1, when debug code is compiled in, not only on startup
! 1277: using the command line parameters.
! 1278: - Signal handler: added new 'delayed' signal handlers, including fallback
! 1279: to deprecated sysv API. And removed global NGIRCd_SignalRehash variable.
! 1280: - IO: add io_cloexec() to set close-on-exec flag.
! 1281: - ng_ipaddr.h: include required assert.h header.
! 1282: - Conn_SyncServerStruct(): test all connections; and work case insensitive
! 1283: - configure script: correctly indent IPv6 yes/no summary output.
! 1284: - Don't reset My_Connections[Idx].lastping when reading data, so the
! 1285: client lag debug-output is working again.
! 1286: - Implement user mode "x": host name cloaking (closes: #102).
! 1287: - Make configure switch "--docdir" work (closes: #108).
! 1288: - Reformat and update FAQ.txt a little bit.
! 1289: - INSTALL: mention SSL, IPv6, and changed handling of MotdFile.
! 1290: - Change MOTD file handling: ngIRCd now caches the contents of the MOTD
! 1291: file, so the daemon now requires a HUP signal or REHASH command to
! 1292: re-read the MOTD file when its content changed.
! 1293: - Startup: open /dev/null before chroot'ing the daemon.
! 1294: - Allow IRC ops to change channel modes even without OperServerMode set.
! 1295: - Allow IRC operators to use MODE command on any channel (closes: #100).
! 1296: - Added mailmap file for git-[short]log and git-blame.
! 1297: - Authenticated users should be registered without the "~" mark.
! 1298: - Set NoPAM=yes in configuration files used for the testsuite.
! 1299: - New configuration option "NoPAM" to disable PAM.
! 1300: - Implement asynchronous user authentication using PAM, please see the
! 1301: file doc/PAM.txt for details.
! 1302: - Resolver: Implement signal handler and catch TERM signals.
! 1303: - Don't set a penalty time when doing DNS lookups.
! 1304: - Add some documentation for using BOPM with ngIRCd, see doc/Bopm.txt.
! 1305: - Implement user mode "c": receive connect/disconnect NOTICEs. Note that
! 1306: this new mode requires the user to be an IRC operator.
! 1307: - ngircd.init: require "$network" and "$remote_fs" when stopping ngircd.
! 1308: - Show SSL status in WHOIS output, numeric 275.
! 1309: - Include correct header files when testing for arpa/inet.h (Closes: #105).
! 1310: - Don't access already freed memory in IRC_KILL().
! 1311: - Fix "beeing" typo ...
! 1312: - SSL/TLS: fix bogus "socket closed" error message.
! 1313:
! 1314: ngIRCd 16 (2010-05-02)
! 1315:
! 1316: - doc/SSL: remove line continuation marker
! 1317:
! 1318: ngIRCd 16~rc2 (2010-04-25)
! 1319: - Updated some more copyright notices, it's 2010 already :-)
! 1320: - Only compile in Get_Error() if really needed
! 1321: - Fix gcc warning "ignoring return value of ..."
! 1322: - Include netinet/in_systm.h alongside netinet/ip.h
! 1323: - Include netinet/{in.h, in_systm.h} when checking for netinet/ip.h
! 1324: - Only include <netinet/in_systm.h> if it exists
! 1325: - Updated doc/Platforms.txt
! 1326: - Enhance connection statistics counters: display total number of served
! 1327: connections on daemon shutdown and when a new client connects using
! 1328: the new numeric RPL_STATSCONN (250).
! 1329:
! 1330: ngIRCd 16~rc1 (2010-03-25)
! 1331: - Various fixes to the build system and code cleanups.
! 1332: - contrib/platformtest.sh: Only show latest commit.
! 1333: - Updated doc/Platforms.txt, added new README-Interix.txt documenting
! 1334: how to tun ngIRCd on Microsoft Services for UNIX (MS SFU, MS SUA).
! 1335: - Updated links to the ngIRCd homepage (bug tracker, mailing list).
! 1336: - Added missing modes to USERMODES #define
! 1337: - Show our name (IRCD=ngIRCd) in ISUPPORT (005) numeric
! 1338: - Quote received messages of ERROR commands in log output.
! 1339: - ngircd.conf manual page: document missing "Password" variable.
! 1340: - Implement WEBIRC command used by some Web-IRC frontends. The password
! 1341: required to secure this command must be configured using the new
! 1342: "WebircPassword" variable in the ngircd.conf file.
! 1343: - Don't use port 6668 as example for both "Ports" and "SSLPorts".
! 1344: - Remove limit on max number of configured irc operators.
! 1345: - Only link "nsl" library when really needed.
! 1346: - A new channel mode "secure connections only" (+z) has been implemented:
! 1347: Only clients using a SSL encrypted connection to the server are allowed
! 1348: to join such a channel.
! 1349: But please note three things: a) already joined clients are not checked
! 1350: when setting this mode, b) IRC operators are always allowed to join
! 1351: every channel, and c) remote clients using a server not supporting this
! 1352: mode are not checked either and therefore always allowed to join.
! 1353:
! 1354: ngIRCd 15 (2009-11-07)
! 1355:
! 1356: - "ngircd --configtest": print SSL configuration options even when unset.
! 1357:
! 1358: ngIRCd 15~rc1 (2009-10-15)
! 1359: - Do not add default listening port (6667) if SSL ports were specified, so
! 1360: ngIRCd can be configured to only accept SSL-encrypted connections now.
! 1361: - Enable IRC operators to use the IRC command SQUIT (instead of the already
! 1362: implemented but non-standard DISCONNECT command).
! 1363: - New configuration option "AllowRemoteOper" (disabled by default) that
! 1364: enables remote IRC operators to use the IRC commands SQUIT and CONNECT
! 1365: on the local server.
! 1366: - Mac OS X: fix test for packagemaker(1) tool in Makefile and use gcc 4.0
! 1367: for Mac OS X 10.4 compatibility in the Xcode project file.
! 1368: - Fix --with-{openssl|gnutls} to accept path names.
! 1369: - Fix LSB header of Debian init script.
! 1370: - Updated doc/Platforms.txt and include new script contrib/platformtest.sh
! 1371: to ease generating platform reports.
! 1372: - Fix connection information for already registered connections.
! 1373: - Enforce upper limit on maximum number of handled commands. This implements
! 1374: a throttling scheme: an IRC client can send up to 3 commands or 256 bytes
! 1375: per second before a one second pause is enforced.
! 1376: - Fix connection counter.
! 1377: - Fix a few error handling glitches for SSL/TLS connections.
! 1378: - Minor fixes to manual pages and documentation.
! 1379:
! 1380: ngIRCd 14.1 (2009-05-05)
! 1381:
! 1382: - Security: fix remotely triggerable crash in SSL/TLS code.
! 1383: - BSD start script contrib/ngircd.sh has been renamed to ngircd-bsd.sh.
! 1384: - New start/stop script for RedHat-based distributions:
! 1385: contrib/ngircd-redhat.init, thanks to Naoya Nakazawa <naoya@sanow.net>.
! 1386: - Doxygen: update source code repository link to GIT.
! 1387: - Debian: build ngircd-full-dbg package.
! 1388: - Allow ping timeout quit messages to show the timeout value.
! 1389: - Fix error handling on compressed links.
! 1390: - Fix server list announcement.
! 1391: - Do not remove host names from info text.
! 1392:
! 1393: ngIRCd 14 (2009-04-20)
! 1394:
! 1395: - Display IPv6 addresses as "[<addr>]" when accepting connections.
! 1396:
! 1397: ngIRCd 14~rc1 (2009-03-29)
! 1398: - Updated Debian/Linux init script (see contrib/Debian/ngircd.init).
! 1399: - Allow creation of persistent modeless channels.
! 1400: - The INFO command reports the compile time now (if available).
! 1401: - Spell check and enhance ngIRCd manual pages.
! 1402: - Channel mode changes: break on syntax errors in MODE command.
! 1403: - Support individual channel keys for pre-defined channels: introduce
! 1404: new configuration variable "KeyFile" in [Channel] sections in ngircd.conf,
! 1405: here a file can be configured for each pre-defined channel which contains
! 1406: individual channel keys for different users.
! 1407: - Remove limit on maximum number of predefined channels in ngircd.conf.
! 1408: - Updated ngircd.spec file for building RPM packages.
! 1409: - Add new and missing files to Mac OS X Xcode project, and update project.
! 1410: - Reject masks with wildcard after last dot.
! 1411: - TLS/SSL: remove useless error message when ssl connection is closed.
! 1412: - Fix memory leak when a encrypted and compressed server link goes down.
! 1413: (closes bug #95, reported by Christoph, fiesh@fiesh.homeip.net)
! 1414: - Fix handling of channels containing dots.
! 1415: (closes bug #93, reported by Gonosz Csiga)
! 1416:
! 1417: ngIRCd 13 (2008-12-25)
! 1418:
! 1419: - Updated documentation, especially doc/Services.txt and doc/SSL.txt.
! 1420: - Make the test suite work on OpenSolaris.
! 1421:
! 1422: ngIRCd 13~rc1 (2008-11-21):
! 1423: - New version number scheme :-)
! 1424: - Initial support for IRC services, using a RFC1459 style interface,
! 1425: tested with IRCServices (http://www.ircservices.za.net/) version 5.1.13.
! 1426: For this to work, ngIRCd now supports server-server links conforming
! 1427: to RFC 1459. New ngircd.conf(5) option: ServiceMask.
! 1428: - Support for SSL-encrypted server-server and client-server links using
! 1429: OpenSSL (configure: --with-openssl) or GNUTLS (configure: --with-gnutls).
! 1430: New ngircd.conf(5) options: SSLPorts, SSLKeyFile, SSLKeyFilePassword,
! 1431: SSLCertFile, SSLDHFile, and SSLConnect.
! 1432: - Server local channels have been implemented, prefix "&", that are only
! 1433: visible to users of the same server and are not visible in the network.
! 1434: In addition ngIRCd creates a "special" channel &SERVER on startup and logs
! 1435: all the messages to it that a user with mode +s receives.
! 1436: - New make target "osxpkg" to build a Mac OS X installer package.
! 1437: - Debug mode: enable support for GNU libc memory tracing (see mtrace(3)).
! 1438: - SysV init script: use LSB logging functions, if available.
! 1439: - Added some more FAQ entries (regarding logging and IRC operators).
! 1440: - Allow IRC operators to overwrite channel limits.
! 1441: - Support for enhanced PRIVMSG and NOTICE message targets.
! 1442: - More tests have been added to the test-suite ("make check"), and two
! 1443: servers are started for testing server-server linking.
! 1444: - Added a timestamp to log messages to the console.
! 1445: - New configuration option "NoIdent" to disable IDENT lookups even if the
! 1446: daemon is compiled with IDENT support.
! 1447:
! 1448: ngIRCd 0.12.1 (2008-07-09)
! 1449:
! 1450: - Allow mixed line terminations (CR+LF/CR/LF) in non-RFC-compliant mode
! 1451: - Don't allow stray \r or \n in command parameters

! 1457: obsoletes ListenIPv4 and ListenIPv6 options. If Listen is unset, it
! 1458: is treated as Listen="::,0.0.0.0".
! 1459: Note: ListenIPv4 and ListenIPv6 options are still recognized,
! 1460: but ngircd will print a warning if they are used in the config file.
! 1461:

! 1489: - Add test cases for "WHO" command. (Dana Dahlstrom)
! 1490: - Implement RFC 2812 handling of "0" argument to 'JOIN': must be treated

! 1493: - Allow NOTICEs to be sent to a channel. (Fabian Schlager)
! 1494:
! 1495: ngIRCd 0.11.1 (2008-02-26)
! 1496:
! 1497: - Fix sending of JOIN commands between servers when remote server appended
! 1498: mode flags. (Rolf Eike Beer) [from HEAD]
! 1499: - Send "G" instead of "H" flag in WHO replies. (reported by Dana Dahlstrom)

! 1504:
! 1505: ngIRCd 0.11.0-pre2 (2008-01-07)

! 1530: - Added new server configuration option "Passive" for "Server" blocks to
! 1531: disable automatic outgoing connections (similar to -p option to ngircd,

! 1534: same group is already in progress.
! 1535: - Added support for the WALLOPS command. Usage is restricted to IRC
! 1536: operators.
! 1537:
! 1538: ngIRCd 0.10.4 (2008-01-07)
! 1539:
! 1540: - SECURITY: IRC_PART could reference invalid memory, causing
! 1541: ngircd to crash [from HEAD]. (CVE-2008-0285)
! 1542:

! 1544:
! 1545: - SECURITY: Fixed a severe bug in handling JOIN commands, which could
! 1546: cause the server to crash. Thanks to Sebastian Vesper, <net@veoson.net>.
! 1547: (CVE-2007-6062)
! 1548:
! 1549: ngIRCd 0.10.2 (2007-06-08)
! 1550:
! 1551: ngIRCd 0.10.2-pre2 (2007-05-19)
! 1552: - Server links are allowed to use larger write buffers now (up to 50 KB).
! 1553:
! 1554: ngIRCd 0.10.2-pre1 (2007-05-05)
! 1555: - Fix compressed server links (broken since 0.10.0).
! 1556: - Predefined Channel configuration now allows specification of channel key
! 1557: (mode k) and maximum user count (mode l).
! 1558: - When using epoll() IO interface, compile in the select() interface as
! 1559: well and fall back to it when epoll() isn't available on runtime.
! 1560: - New configure option "--without-select" to disable select() IO API
! 1561: (even when using epoll(), see above).
! 1562: - Added support for IO APIs "poll()" and "/dev/poll".
! 1563: - Reorganized internal handling of invite and ban lists.
! 1564:
! 1565: ngIRCd 0.10.1 (2006-12-17)
! 1566:
! 1567: - Fixed validation of server names containing digits.
! 1568: - Update the "info text" of the local server after re-reading configuration.
! 1569: - Changed Numerics 265 and 266 to follow ircd 2.11.x "standards".
! 1570: - Allow PASS syntax defined in RFC 1459 for server links, too.
! 1571: - Enhanced ISUPPORT message (005 numeric).
! 1572: - New configuration option "PredefChannelsOnly": if set, clients can only
! 1573: join predefined channels.
! 1574: - Code cleanups: use "LogDebug(...)" instead of "Log(LOG_DEBUG, ...)", use
! 1575: "strcspn()", unsigned vs. signed, use "const", fix whitespaces, ...
! 1576:
! 1577: ngIRCd 0.10.0 (2006-10-01)
! 1578:
! 1579: - Fixed file handle leak when daemon is not able to send MOTD to a client.
! 1580:
! 1581: ngIRCd 0.10.0-pre2 (2006-09-09)
! 1582: - Fixed build problems with GCC option -fstack-protector.
! 1583: - Minor documentation updates.
! 1584:
! 1585: ngIRCd 0.10.0-pre1 (2006-08-02)
! 1586: - Validate "ServerName" (see RFC 2812, section 2.3.1).
! 1587: - Enhanced DIE to accept a single parameter ("comment text") which is sent
! 1588: to all locally connected clients before the server goes down.
! 1589: - The ngIRCd handles time shifts backwards more gracefully now (the
! 1590: timeout handling doesn't disconnect clients by mistake any more).
! 1591: - Internal: Restructured connection handling (the connection ID is equal
! 1592: to the file descriptor of the connection).
! 1593: - Internal: Simplified resolver code.

! 1599: the counter if data is received and disconnect clients earlier.
! 1600: - Removed unnecessary #define of "LOCAL", now use plain C "static" instead.
! 1601: - Channel topics are no longer limited to 127 characters: now the only limit
! 1602: is the maximum length of an IRC command, i. e. 512 bytes (in practice, this
! 1603: limits the topic to about 490 characters due to protocol overhead).
! 1604: - Reverse DNS lookup code now checks the result by doing an additional
! 1605: lookup to prevent spoofing.
! 1606: - Added new IO layer which (optionally) supports epoll() and kqueue() in
! 1607: addition to the select() interface.
! 1608:
! 1609: ngIRCd 0.9.2 (2005-10-15)
! 1610:
! 1611: - Fixed a bug that could cause the daemon to crash when outgoing server
! 1612: connections can't be established.
! 1613: - Fixed a bug that caused the daemon to leak file descriptors when no
! 1614: resolver subprocesses could be created.
! 1615: - Fixed server NOTICEs to users with "s" mode ("server messages").
! 1616: - Fixed a format string bug in "connection statistics" messages to clients.
! 1617:
! 1618: ngIRCd 0.9.1 (2005-08-03)
! 1619:
! 1620: - The KILL command killed much more than desired (including server links!)
! 1621: when the target user is connected to a remote server. Bug introduced in
! 1622: ngIRCd 0.9.0 ... Reported by <qssl@fastmail.fm>, Thanks!
! 1623: - Changed some constants to be "signed" (instead of unsigned) to solve
! 1624: problems with old (pre-ANSI) compilers.
! 1625:
! 1626: ngIRCd 0.9.0 (2005-07-24)
! 1627:
! 1628: ngIRCd 0.9.0-pre1 (2005-07-09)
! 1629: - Fixed maximum length of user names, now allow up to 9 characters.
! 1630: - Cut off oversized IRC messages that should be sent to the network instead
! 1631: of shutting down the (wrong) connection.
! 1632: - Don't generate error messages for unknown commands received before the
! 1633: client is registered with the server (like the original ircd).
! 1634: - Never run with root privileges but always switch the user ID.
! 1635: - Make "netsplit" messages RFC compliant.
! 1636: - Fix handling of QUIT Messages: send only one message, even if the client
! 1637: is member of multiple channels.
! 1638: - Don't exit server if closing of a socket fails; instead ignore it and
! 1639: pray that this will be "the right thing" ...
! 1640: - Implemented the IRC function "WHOWAS".
! 1641: - Don't enable assert() calls when not ./configure'd with --enable-debug.
! 1642: - Fixed ./configure test for TCP Wrappers: now it runs on Mac OS X as well.
! 1643: - Enhanced configure script: now you can pass an (optional) search path
! 1644: to all --with-XXX parameters, e. g. "--with-ident=/opt/ident".
! 1645: - Removed typedefs for the native C data types.
! 1646: Use stdbool.h / inttypes.h if available.
! 1647: - New configuration option "OperServerMode" to enable a workaround needed
! 1648: when running an network with ircd2 servers and "OperCanUseMode" enabled
! 1649: to prevent the ircd2 daemon to drop mode changes of IRC operators.
! 1650: Patch by Florian Westphal, <westphal@foo.fh-furtwangen.de>.
! 1651: - Implemented support for "secret channels" (channel mode "s").
! 1652: - New configuration option "Mask" for [Operator] sections to limit OPER
! 1653: commands to users with a specific IRC mask. Patch from Florian Westphal.
! 1654: - Write "error file" (/tmp/ngircd-XXX.err) only if compiled with debug
! 1655: code ("--enable-debug") and running as daemon process.
! 1656: - Don't create version information string each time a client connects
! 1657: but instead on server startup. By Florian Westphal.
! 1658: - New configuration variable "PidFile", section "[Global]": if defined,
! 1659: the server writes its process ID (PID) to this file. Default: off.
! 1660: Idea of Florian Westphal, <westphal@foo.fh-furtwangen.de>.
! 1661: - Code cleanups from Florian Westphal, <westphal@foo.fh-furtwangen.de>.
! 1662: - Raised the maximum length of passwords to 20 characters.
! 1663: - Fixed a memory leak when resizing the connection pool and realloc()
! 1664: failed. Now we don't fall back to malloc(), which should be sane anyway.
! 1665: Patch from Florian Westphal, <westphal@foo.fh-furtwangen.de>.
! 1666: - Added support for the Howl (http://www.porchdogsoft.com/products/howl/)
! 1667: Rendezvous API, in addition to the API of Apple (Mac OS X). The available
! 1668: API will be autodetected when you call "./configure --with-rendezvous".
! 1669: - Made ngIRCd compile on HP/UX 10.20 with native HP pre-ANSI C compiler and
! 1670: most probably other older C compilers on other systems.
! 1671: - When the daemon should switch to another user ID (ServerID is defined in
! 1672: the configuration file) and is not running in a chroot environment, it
! 1673: changes its working directory to the home directory of this user. This
! 1674: should enable the system to write proper core files when not running with
! 1675: root privileges ...
! 1676:
! 1677: ngIRCd 0.8.3 (2005-02-03)
! 1678:
! 1679: - Fixed a bug that could case a root exploit when the daemon is compiled
! 1680: to do IDENT lookups and is logging to syslog. Bug discovered by CoKi,
! 1681: <coki@nosystem.com.ar>, thanks a lot!
! 1682: (CVE-2005-0226; http://www.nosystem.com.ar/advisories/advisory-11.txt)
! 1683:
! 1684: ngIRCd 0.8.2 (2005-01-26)
! 1685:
! 1686: - Added doc/SSL.txt to distribution.
! 1687: - Fixed a buffer overflow that could cause the daemon to crash. Bug found
! 1688: by Florian Westphal, <westphal@foo.fh-furtwangen.de>. (CVE-2005-0199)
! 1689: - Fixed a possible buffer underrun when reading the MOTD file. Thanks
! 1690: to Florian Westphal, <westphal@foo.fh-furtwangen.de>.
! 1691: - Fixed detection of IRC lines which are too long to send. Detected by
! 1692: Florian Westphal, <westphal@foo.fh-furtwangen.de>.
! 1693: - Fixed return values of our own implementation of strlcpy(). The code has
! 1694: been taken from rsync and they fixed it, but we didn't until today :-/
! 1695: It has only been used when the system didn't implement strlcpy by itself,
! 1696: not on "modern" systems. Florian Westphal, <westphal@foo.fh-furtwangen.de>.
! 1697:
! 1698: ngIRCd 0.8.1 (2004-12-25)
! 1699:
! 1700: - Autoconf: Updated config.guess and config.sub
! 1701: - Added some more debug code ...
! 1702: - Fixed wrong variable names in output of "ngircd --configtest".
! 1703: - Debian: Fixed the name of the "default file" in the init script for
! 1704: ngircd-full packages. And do the test if the binary is executable after
! 1705: reading this file.
! 1706: - Enhanced the "test suite": please have a look at src/testsuite/README!
! 1707:
! 1708: ngIRCd 0.8.0 (2004-06-26)
! 1709:
! 1710: - Fixed wrong buffer size calculation for results of the resolver.
! 1711:
! 1712: ngircd 0.8.0-pre2 (2004-05-16)
! 1713: - Enhanced logging to console when running in "no-detached mode": added
! 1714: PID and log messages of resolver sub-processes.
! 1715: - Fixed host name lookups when using IDENT user lookups.
! 1716: - "make clean" and "make maintainer-clean" remove more files now.
! 1717:
! 1718: ngIRCd 0.8.0-pre1 (2004-05-07)
! 1719: - Two new configuration options: "ChrootDir" and "MotdPhrase", thanks to
! 1720: Benjamin Pineau <ben@zouh.org>. Now you can force the daemon to change
! 1721: its root and working directory to something "safe". MotdPhrase is used
! 1722: to define an "MOTD string" instead of a whole file, useful if the
! 1723: "real" MOTD file would be outside the "jail".
! 1724: - INVITE- and BAN-lists become synchronized between IRC+ servers when
! 1725: establishing new connections, if the peer supports this as well.
! 1726: - Reorganized autogen.sh and configure scripts.
! 1727: - Fixed a wrong assert() which could cause the daemon to exit spuriously
! 1728: when closing down connections.
! 1729: - Better logging of decompression errors returned by zlib.
! 1730: - Servers other than the destination server didn't clean up the invite
! 1731: list of an "invite-only" channel properly when an INVITE'd user joined.
! 1732: - Changed the reply of the MODE command to match the syntax of the
! 1733: original ircd exactly: the unnecessary but missing ":" before the last
! 1734: parameter has been added.
! 1735: - Fixed TRACE: don't output "Serv" lines for ourself; display more info.
! 1736: - Results of the resolver (host names and IDENT names) are discarded after
! 1737: the client is successfully registered with the server.
! 1738: - Better logging while establishing and shutting down connections.
! 1739: - The type of service (TOS) of all sockets is set to "interactive" now.
! 1740: - Added short command line option "-t" as alternative to "--configtest".
! 1741: - Added optional support for "IDENT" lookups on incoming connections. You
! 1742: have to enable this function with the ./configure switch "--with-ident".
! 1743: The default is not to do IDENT lookups.
! 1744:
! 1745: ngIRCd 0.7.7 (2004-02-05)
! 1746:
! 1747: - The info text ("real name") of users is set to "-" if none has been
! 1748: specified using the USER command (e. g. "USER user * * :"). Reason:
! 1749: the original ircd doesn't like empty ones and would KILL such users.
! 1750: - Fixed (optional) TCP Wrapper test which was broken and could result in
! 1751: false results. Thanks to Fuminori Tanizaki <tany@mcnet.ad.jp>!
! 1752: - Removed "USE_" prefixes of configuration #defines.
! 1753:
! 1754: ngIRCd 0.7.6 (2003-12-05)
! 1755:
! 1756: - Fixed abort() ("server crash") when INVITE'ing users to nonexistent
! 1757: channels. Bug found by <hiddenx@wp.pl>.
! 1758: - Extended version numbering of CVS versions (added date).
! 1759: - Enhanced/fixed doc/Protocol.txt;
! 1760:
! 1761: ngIRCd 0.7.5 (2003-11-07)
! 1762:
! 1763: - Fixed ban behavior: users which are banned from a channel can't no
! 1764: longer send PRIVMSG's to this channel (fixes Bug #47).
! 1765: - Fixed and enhanced the "penalty handling" of the server: commands that
! 1766: require more resources block the client for a short time.
! 1767: - Changed the internal time resolution to one second.
! 1768: - New configuration variable "MaxConnectionsIP" to limit the number of
! 1769: simultaneous connections from a single IP that the server will accept.
! 1770: This configuration options lowers the risk of denial of service attacks
! 1771: (DoS), the default is 5 connections per client IP.
! 1772: - Fixed build problems under Mac OS X 10.3.
! 1773: - Use "-pipe" when compiling with gcc, speeds things up a little :-)
! 1774: - Added new configuration variable "Listen" to bind all listening
! 1775: sockets of the server to a single IP address.
! 1776: - Suppress misleading error message of diff during make run.
! 1777: - Enhanced test-suite and made it work on GNU/Hurd.
! 1778: - Fixed minor typo in debug output :-)
! 1779:
! 1780: ngIRCd 0.7.1 (2003-07-18)
! 1781:
! 1782: - Included files to build Debian packages (located in "debian/").
! 1783: - Updated config.guess and config.sub to newer upstream versions.
! 1784: - NJOIN propagates user channel modes correctly again ... Upsa.
! 1785: - Made Makefile more compatible with "make -j<n>".
! 1786: - Added support for GNU/Hurd.
! 1787: - Fixed a compiler warning related to an unnecessary assert().
! 1788: - Enhanced VERSION command when using debug versions.
! 1789:
! 1790: ngIRCd 0.7.0 (2003-05-01)
! 1791:
! 1792: - "ServerName" is checked better now: a dot (".") is required.
! 1793: - The KILL command verifies and logs more parameters.
! 1794:
! 1795: ngIRCd 0.7.0-pre2 (2003-04-27)
! 1796: - CVS build system fixes (made autogen.sh more portable).
! 1797: - Fixed compilation and test-suite on Solaris (tested with 2.6).
! 1798: - New documentation file "doc/Platforms.txt" describing the status of
! 1799: ngIRCd on the various tested platforms.
! 1800: - Test for broken GCC on Mac OS X and disable "-pedantic" in this case.
! 1801: - Disable "-ansi" on Cygwin: system headers are incompatible.
! 1802: - The server tried to connect to other servers only once when DNS or
! 1803: socket failures occurred.
! 1804: - Fixed --configtest: There is no variable "ServerPwd", it's "Password".
! 1805:
! 1806: ngIRCd 0.7.0-pre1 (2003-04-22)
! 1807: - New signal handler (more secure, actions are executed outside).
! 1808: - GCC: the compiler is now called with more warning options enabled.
! 1809: - Replaced a lot of str[n]cpy(), str[n]cat() and sprintf() calls with the
! 1810: more secure functions strlcpy(), strlcat() and snprintf(). On systems
! 1811: that don't support strlcpy() and strlcat(), these functions are included
! 1812: in the libngportab now (with prototypes in portab.h).
! 1813: - If the server can't close a socket, it panics now. This is an error that
! 1814: can't occur during normal operation so there is something broken.
! 1815: - The order of log messages during disconnects is more "natural" now ;-)
! 1816: - Cleaned up handling of server configuration structures: modifying and
! 1817: removing servers during runtime works more reliable now.
! 1818: - Compression code from "conn.[ch]" is now found in new "conn-zip.[ch]"
! 1819: - Moved some connection functions from "conn.[ch]" to "conn-func.[ch]".
! 1820: - New command CONNECT to enable and add server links. The syntax is not
! 1821: RFC-compatible: use "CONNECT <name> <port>" to enable and connect an
! 1822: configured server and "CONNECT <name> <port> <host> <mypwd> <peerpwd>"
! 1823: to add a new server (ngIRCd tries to connect new servers only once!).
! 1824: - Added DISCONNECT command ("DISCONNECT <name>") to disable servers.
! 1825: - Restructured the documentation: Now the main language is English. The
! 1826: German documentation has been removed (until there is a maintainer).
! 1827: - Enhanced killing of users caused by a nickname collision.
! 1828: - Better error detection for status code ("numerics") forwarding.
! 1829: - Moved tool functions to own library: "libngtool".
! 1830: - New command TRACE (you can trace only servers at the moment).
! 1831: - New command HELP that lists all understood commands.
! 1832: - There should no longer remain "unknown connections" (see e.g. LUSERS)
! 1833: if an outgoing server link can't be established.
! 1834: - Added AC_PREREQ(2.50) to configure.in for better autoconf compatibility.
! 1835: - Conn_Close() now handles recursive calls for the same link correctly.
! 1836: - ngIRCd can register itself with Rendezvous: to enable support pass the
! 1837: new switch "--with-rendezvous" to configure.
! 1838: - Added support for TCP Wrappers library: pass "--with-tcp-wrappers" to
! 1839: configure to enable it.
! 1840: - Changed some configure options to use "--with"/"--without" as prefix
! 1841: instead of "--enable"/"--disable": "--without-syslog", "--without-zlib",
! 1842: "--with-tcp-wrappers", and "--with-rendezvous".
! 1843: - Better error reporting to clients on connect.
! 1844: - Enhanced manual pages ngircd(8) and ngircd.conf(5).
! 1845: - Documentation is now installed in $(datadir)/doc/ngircd.
! 1846: - Enhanced handling of NJOIN in case of nick collisions.
! 1847:
! 1848: ngIRCd 0.6.1 (2003-01-21)
! 1849:
! 1850: - Fixed KILL: you can't crash the server by killing yourself any more,
! 1851: ngIRCd no longer sends a QUIT to other servers after the KILL, and you
! 1852: can kill only valid users now.
! 1853: - The server no longer forwards commands to ordinary users, instead it
! 1854: answers with the correct error message ("no such server") now.
! 1855: - WHOIS commands weren't always forwarded as requested.
! 1856: - The server sets a correct default AWAY message now when propagating
! 1857: between servers (bug introduced in 0.6.0).
! 1858: - Fixed up and enhanced CHANINFO command: channel keys and user limits
! 1859: are synchronized between servers now, too.
! 1860: - MODE returns the key and user limit for channel members correctly now.
! 1861: - Non-members of a channel could crash the server when trying to change
! 1862: its modes or modes of its members.
! 1863: - The server didn't validate weather a target user is a valid channel
! 1864: member when changing his channel user modes which could crash ngIRCd.
! 1865:
! 1866:
! 1867: Older changes (sorry, only available in German language):
! 1868:
! 1869: ngIRCd 0.6.0, 24.12.2002
! 1870:
! 1871: ngIRCd 0.6.0-pre2, 23.12.2002
! 1872: - neuer Numeric 005 ("Features") beim Connect.
! 1873: - LUSERS erweitert: nun wird die maximale Anzahl der lokalen und globalen
! 1874: Clients, die dem Server bzw. im Netzwerk seit dem letzten (Re-)Start
! 1875: dem Server gleichzeitig bekannt waren, angezeigt.
! 1876:
! 1877: ngIRCd 0.6.0-pre1, 18.12.2002
! 1878: - beim Schliessen einer Verbindung zeigt der Server nun vor dem ERROR
! 1879: noch eine Statistik ueber die empfangene und gesendete Datenmenge an.
! 1880: - der Server wartet bei einer eingehenden Verbindung nun laenger auf den
! 1881: Resolver (4 Sekunden), wenn das Ergebnis eintrifft setzt er aber den
! 1882: Login sofort fort (bisher wurde immer mind. 1 Sekunde gewartet).
! 1883: - Connection-Strukturen werden nun "pool-weise" verwaltet; der Pool wird
! 1884: bei Bedarf bis zu einem konfigurierten Limit vergroessert.
! 1885: - Mit der neuen Konfigurationsvariable "MaxConnections" (Sektion "Global")
! 1886: kann die maximale Anzahl gleichzeitiger Verbindungen begrenzt werden.
! 1887: Der Default ist -1, "unlimitiert".
! 1888: - der Server erkennt nun, ob bereits eine eingehende Verbindung von einem
! 1889: Peer-Server besteht und versucht dann nicht mehr, selber eine eigene
! 1890: ausgehende Verbindung zu diesem auufzubauen. Dadurch kann nun auf beiden
! 1891: Servern in der Konfiguration ein Port fuer den Connect konfiguriert
! 1892: werden (beide Server versuchen sich dann gegenseitig zu connectieren).
! 1893: - Test-Suite und Dokumentation an A/UX angepasst.
! 1894: - unter HP-UX definiert das configure-Script nun _XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED.
! 1895: - Server identifizieren sich nun mit asynchronen Passwoertern, d.h. das
! 1896: Passwort, welches A an B schickt, kann ein anderes sein als das, welches
! 1897: B als Antwort an A sendet. In der Konfig.-Datei, Abschnitt "Server",
! 1898: wurde "Password" dazu durch "MyPassword" und "PeerPassword" ersetzt.
! 1899: - Der Server kann nun zur Laufzeit die Konfiguration neu einlesen: dies
! 1900: macht er nach dem Befehl REHASH oder wenn ein HUP-Signal empfangen wird.
! 1901: - Channel-Mode "P" ("persistent") kann nur noch von IRC-Operatoren gesetzt
! 1902: werden. Grund: User koennen den Server sonst leicht "Channel-Flooden".
! 1903: - MOTD kann nun an andere Server geforwarded werden.
! 1904: - IRC-Befehl "TIME" implementiert.
! 1905: - Server-Server-Links koennen nun komprimiert werden, dazu wird die zlib
! 1906: (www.zlib.org) benoetigt. Unterstuetzt die Gegenseite die Komprimierung
! 1907: nicht, wird automatisch unkomprimiert kommuniziert. Das Verfahren ist
! 1908: kompatibel mit dem Original-ircd 2.10.3, d.h. beide Server koennen
! 1909: miteinander ueber komprimiert Links kommunizieren.
! 1910: - Handling der Schreibpuffer umgestellt: Server sollte schneller arbeiten.
! 1911: - Prefix-Fehler werden besser protokolliert (mit verursachendem Befehl).
! 1912: - SQUIT wird nicht mehr doppelt an andere Server weitergeleitet.
! 1913: - Der Server versucht nun vor dem Schliessen einer Verbindung Daten, die
! 1914: noch im Schreibpuffer stehen, zu senden.
! 1915: - Source in weiteres Modul "irc-info" aufgespalten.
! 1916: - Konfigurationsvariablen werden besser validiert: Laengen, Zahlen, ...
! 1917: - neuen Befehl STATS begonnen: bisher unterstuetzt wird "l" und "m".
! 1918: - bei ISON und USERHOST fehlte im Ergebnis-String der korrekte Absender.
! 1919: - IRC Operatoren koennen nun mit KILL User toeten. Achtung: ein Grund muss
! 1920: zwingend als zweiter Parameter angegeben werden!
! 1921: - neue Konfigurations-Variable "MaxJoins": Hiermit kann die maximale Zahl
! 1922: der Channels, in denen ein User Mitglied sein kann, begrent werden.
! 1923: - neuer, deutlich flexiblerer Parser fuer den MODE Befehl.
! 1924: - neue Channel-Modes l (User-Limit) und k (Channel-Key) implementiert.
! 1925:
! 1926: ngIRCd 0.5.4, 24.11.2002
! 1927:
! 1928: - Fehler-Handling von connect() gefixed: der Server kann sich nun auch
! 1929: unter A/UX wieder zu anderen verbinden.
! 1930: - in den Konfigurationsvariablen ServerUID und ServerGID kann nun nicht
! 1931: nur die numerische ID, sondern auch der Name des Users bzw. der Gruppe
! 1932: verwendet werden. Beim Start des Daemons wird nun beides angezeigt.
! 1933: - Besseres Logging von Prefix-Fehlern.
! 1934: - angenommene Sockets werden nun korrekt auf "non-blocking" konfiguriert,
! 1935: beim Senden und Empfangen werden Blockierungen besser abgefangen.
! 1936: - RPL_UMODEIS hat Code 221, nicht 211 ... *argl*
! 1937: - select() in Try_Write() hat falschen (keinen!) Timeout verwendet;
! 1938: die "Zeit-Aufloesung" des Servers sind zudem nun 2 Sekunden (TIME_RES).
! 1939: Insgesamt sollte die Reaktionszeit des Server nun besser sein.
! 1940:
! 1941: ngIRCd 0.5.3, 08.11.2002
! 1942:
! 1943: - NOTICE liefert nun wirklich nie mehr einen Fehler, auch dann nicht,
! 1944: wenn der sendende Client noch gar nicht registriert ist.
! 1945: - ein "schneller Server-Reconnect" wird nur noch dann versucht, wenn die
! 1946: Verbindung zuvor ordentlich (="lange genug") in Ordnung war; somit also
! 1947: nicht meht, wenn der Peer-Server gleich beim Connect ein ERROR liefert.
! 1948: Das vermeidet "Connect-Orgien".
! 1949: - einige Datentypen aufgeraumt: z.B. sind viele INT32s nun LONGs. Das ist
! 1950: auf Platformen mit 8-Byte-Integern kompatibler.
! 1951: - RPL_YOURHOST_MSG ist nun ircII- und RFC-kompatibel ;-)
! 1952: - Segfault unter hoher Netzaktivitaet behoben: in Conn_Close() wird die
! 1953: Connection-Struktur nun frueher als "ungueltig" markiert.
! 1954:
! 1955: ngIRCd 0.5.2, 04.10.2002
! 1956:
! 1957: - Buffer Overflow in Read_Resolver_Result() behoben.
! 1958: - Format-String-Bugs, die zum Abbruch des Servers fuehrten, behoben.
! 1959: - Maximale Laenge eines IRC-Prefix wurde falsch berechnet.
! 1960:
! 1961: ngIRCd 0.5.1, 03.10.2002
! 1962:
! 1963: - in RPL_YOURHOST_MSG wurde ein fehlerhafter Versionsstring geliefert.
! 1964: - Test-Suite: start-server.sh, stop-server.sh und stress-server.sh koennen
! 1965: nun "manuell" von der Kommandozeile gestartet werden, stress-server.sh
! 1966: startet per Default nur noch 5 Sessions, eine andere Zahl kann auf der
! 1967: Kommandozeile uebergeben werden (Syntax: "stress-server.sh <count>").
! 1968: - In bestimmten Faellen hat der Server versucht auf einen bereits wieder
! 1969: geschlossenen Socket Daten zu schreiben; das fuehrte zu einem Abbruch des
! 1970: Servers durch ein assert(). Nun wird geprueft, ob der Socket noch ok ist.
! 1971: - im "contrib"-Verzeichnis befindet sich nun eine RPM-Spec-Datei, aus den
! 1972: .tar.gz's koennen nun mit "rpm -ta <archiv>" RPM's erzeugt werden. Danke
! 1973: an Sean Reifschneider <jafo@tummy.com>!
! 1974: - Syntax von RPL_MYINFO_MSG korrigiert: liefert nun vier Parameter.
! 1975:
! 1976: ngIRCd 0.5.0, 20.09.2002
! 1977:
! 1978: - Dokumentation aktualisiert.
! 1979: - Fehler bei Validierung von "AdminInfo2" behoben.
! 1980: - Test der Flags fuer "ps" in der Testsuite verbessert, ist nun zu mehr
! 1981: Plattformen kompatibler.
! 1982:
! 1983: ngIRCd 0.5.0-pre2, 17.09.2002
! 1984: - Fix in IRC_WriteStrServersPrefix() war "badly broken" -- behoben.
! 1985:
! 1986: ngIRCd 0.5.0-pre1, 16.09.2002
! 1987: - Manual-Pages ngircd.8 und ngircd.conf.5 begonnen.
! 1988: - Wird der Netzwerk-Sniffer aktiviert (--sniffer), so schaltet der
! 1989: ngIRCd nun automatisch in den Debug-Modus.
! 1990: - auf Systemen, die inet_aton() nicht kennen (wie z.B. A/UX), kann der
! 1991: ngIRCd nun dennoch auch aktiv Server-Links aufbauen.
! 1992: - h_errno wird auf Systemen, die das nicht kennen (wie z.B. HP-UX 10.20)
! 1993: nicht mehr verwendet. Somit compiliert der ngIRCd nun auch dort :-)
! 1994: - um auf dem Ziel-System nicht vorhandene Funktionen nachzubilden wird nun
! 1995: die "libngportab" erzeugt; genutzt wird dies bisher fuer vsnprintf().
! 1996: Nun compiliert der ngIRCd auch unter Solaris 2.5.1.
! 1997: - "persistente Channels" (Mode 'P') implementiert: diese koennen in der
! 1998: Konfigurationsdatei definiert werden (Sektion "Channel", vgl. Beispiel-
! 1999: Konfiguration "sample-ngircd.conf") und bleiben auch dann bestehen,
! 2000: wenn kein User mehr im Channel ist. Zu Channel-Operatoren werden bisher
! 2001: nur IRC-Operatoren, die den Channel betreten. Die persistenten Channels
! 2002: werden durch das Flag "P" gelennzeichnet, welches normal durch Channel-
! 2003: Op's gesetzt und geloescht werden kann.
! 2004: - bei "--configtest" werden keine leere Abschnitte mehr ausgegeben.
! 2005: - Source in weitere Module aufgespalten: lists, irc-op und resolve.
! 2006: - #include's aufgeraeumt: Header includieren keine anderen mehr.
! 2007: - KICK implementiert (bisher kann nur ein User aus einem Channel geckicked
! 2008: werden, Listen, wir im RFC vorgesehen, werden bisher nicht unterstuetzt).
! 2009: - INVITE, den Channel-Mode "i" sowie Invite-Lists ueber den MODE-Befehl
! 2010: (setzen, erfragen und loeschen) implementiert.
! 2011: - Source an ansi2knr fuer pre-ANSI-Compiler angepasst; ansi2knr in Source-
! 2012: Tree aufgenommen und in Build-System integriert; der ngIRCd compiliert
! 2013: nun z.B. unter A/UX mit dem nativen Compiler von Apple.
! 2014: - TOPIC lieferte bei unbekanntem Channel einen falschen Fehlercode.
! 2015: - LIST versteht nun Wildcards und kann an andere Server geforwarded werden.
! 2016: - wurde ein KILL fuer nicht-lokale Clients empfangen, so wurden die
! 2017: Verwaltungs-Strukturen nicht korrekt freigegeben.
! 2018: - empfangene NJOIN's wurden "zerhackt" an andere Server weitergegeben.
! 2019: - neue Konfigurationsoption "OperCanUseMode" (Sektion "Global"):
! 2020: ist sie aktiv, koennen IRC-Operatoren immer Channel-Modes setzen.
! 2021: - Dokumentation des neuen IRC+-Protokolls begonnen: doc/Protocol.txt
! 2022: - Protokoll- und Server-ID bei PASS-Befehlen auf neues Format umgestellt;
! 2023: bei empfangenen PASS-Befehlen werden diese zudem nun auch ausgewertet.
! 2024: Die unterstuetzten Flags sind in doc/Protocol.txt beschrieben.
! 2025: - mit dem neuen Befehl CHANINFO synchronisieren Server, die das IRC+-
! 2026: Protokoll unterstuetzen, Channel-Modes und Topics.
! 2027: - neue Option "--disable-ircplus" fuer das configure-Script, um das
! 2028: IRC+-Protokoll abzuschalten (per Default ist es aktiviert).
! 2029: - Ban-Lists (setzen, erfragen und loeschen) implementiert.
! 2030: - wird der Server mit "-n"/"--nodaemon" gestartet, so werden keine Mel-
! 2031: dungen mehr ueber Syslog ausgegeben, sondern nur noch auf der Konsole.
! 2032: - "Test-Suite" begonnen (in "make check" integriert): Dabei wird ein
! 2033: speziell konfigurierter Server auf Port 6789 gestartet, mit dem dann
! 2034: einige Tests durchgefuehrt werden (u.a. "Stress-Test" mit 50 Clients).
! 2035: - zu lange Operator-Namen in der Konfiguration wurden falsch gekuerzt.
! 2036: - kleine Anpassung an AIX 3.2.5: nun laeuft der ngIRCd auch dort :-)
! 2037: - ADMIN-Befehl implementiert. Die Daten hierzu werden in der Konfig-Datei
! 2038: im [Global]-Abschnitt mit den Variablen "AdminInfo1", "AdminInfo2" und
! 2039: "AdminEMail" konfiguriert.
! 2040:
! 2041: ngIRCd 0.4.3, 11.06.2002
! 2042:
! 2043: - Bei PRIVMSG und NOTICE hat der ngIRCd nicht ueberpruft, ob das Ziel
! 2044: ueberhaupt ein User ist. War es keiner, so fuehrte dies zu einem
! 2045: Abbruch des Servers [es wurde assert() aufgerufen].
! 2046:
! 2047: ngIRCd 0.4.2, 29.04.2002
! 2048:
! 2049: - LUSERS verzaehlt sich bei eigenen Server-Links nicht mehr.
! 2050: - QUIT wird nun auch von noch nicht registrierten Clients akzeptiert.
! 2051: - IRC-Funktion LIST implementiert; bisher werden allerdings noch keine
! 2052: Wildcards (bis auf "*") unterstuetzt.
! 2053:
! 2054: ngIRCd 0.4.1, 08.04.2002
! 2055:
! 2056: - Bei Server-Links wird nicht mehr an Hand der Anzahl der Parameter
! 2057: eines empfangenen SERVER-Befehls, sondern "intern" erkannt, ob es
! 2058: sich um eine ein- oder ausgehende Verbindung handelt und somit das
! 2059: eigene PASS-SERVER-Paar gesendet werden muss oder nicht. Da sich
! 2060: verschiedene Versionen des Original-ircd's anders verhalten, schlug
! 2061: die Anmeldung je nach Gehenseite evtl. fehl.
! 2062: - Bei einem NICK-Befehl eines lokalen Client konnte der Server ab-
! 2063: stuerzen, da ein Format-String einer Log-Meldung fehlerhaft war.
! 2064:
! 2065: ngIRCd 0.4.0, 01.04.2002
! 2066:
! 2067: - IRC-Befehle nochmal auf weitere Source-Dateien aufgespalten.
! 2068: - WHO implementiert (bisher ohne komplette Unterstuetzung von Masks).
! 2069: - Der AWAY-Mode wurde nicht ueber mehrere Server-Links weitergegeben.
! 2070: - stderr wird nun in eine Datei umgelenkt (/tmp/ngircd-<PID>.err).
! 2071: Laeuft der Server nicht im Debug-Modus, so wird diese bei Programm-
! 2072: ende geloescht. Sollte der Server abstuerzen, finden sich hier evtl.
! 2073: zusaetzliche Informationen.
! 2074: - In Nicknames wird das Zeichen "-" nun als zulaessig erkannt.
! 2075: - die Beispiel-Konfigurationsdatei (doc/sample-ngircd.conf) wird als
! 2076: ngircd.conf installiert, wenn noch keine "echte" Konfigurationsdatei
! 2077: vorhanden ist.
! 2078: - bei WHO, WHOIS und NAMES wird nun nur noch der Status "Operator" oder
! 2079: "voiced" geliefert -- nicht mehr beides.
! 2080: - Server-Gruppen implementiert: es wird immer nur zu einem Server in
! 2081: einer Gruppe eine Verbindung aufgebaut, klappt es beim ersten Server
! 2082: nicht, so wird der naechste probiert (Variable "Group" in der Kon-
! 2083: figurationsdatei, Sektion [Server]).
! 2084: - IRC_PING() ist, wenn nicht im "strict RFC"-Mode, toleranter und ak-
! 2085: zeptiert beliebig viele Parameter (z.B. BitchX sendet soetwas).
! 2086: - die "Portab-Header" werden nicht mehr benoetigt, die System-Erkennung
! 2087: wird nun ausschliesslich vom configure-Script durchgefuehrt. System-
! 2088: abhaengige Definitionen finden sich nun unter src/portrab/.
! 2089: - Clients und Channels werden nicht mehr ueber ihren Namen, sondern
! 2090: einen Hash-Wert gesucht: sollte deutlich schneller sein.
! 2091: - neuer Kommandozeilen-Parameter "--configtest": die Konfiguration wird
! 2092: gelesen und dann die verwendeten Werte angezeigt.
! 2093: - Client-Mode "s" (Server Notices) implementiert.
! 2094: - mit dem neuen Kommandozeilen-Parameter "--config"/"-f" kann eine
! 2095: alternative Konfigurationsdatei angegeben werden.
! 2096: - nach dem Start kann der ngIRCd, wenn er mit root-Rechten laeuft,
! 2097: zu einer anderen User-ID und Group-ID wechseln.
! 2098: - URL der Homepage wird u.a. bei "--version" mit angezeigt.
! 2099:
! 2100: ngIRCd 0.3.0, 02.03.2002
! 2101:
! 2102: - bekommt der Server ein HUP-Signal, so startet er neu -- genau so, wie
! 2103: er auf den IRC-Befehl RESTART reagiert.
! 2104: - FAQ um Hinweise auf den Bugtracker erweitert.
! 2105: - neuer Kommandozeilen-Schalter "--passive" (-p): wird er angegeben, so
! 2106: verbindet sich der ngIRCd nicht mehr automatisch zu anderen Servern.
! 2107: Zum Debuggen manchmal ganz praktisch :-)
! 2108: - direkt nach dem Start schreibt der ngIRCd nun die aktiven Kommando-
! 2109: zeilenschalter in's Logfile (Passive, Debug, Sniffer ...).
! 2110: - das Signal-Flag SA_RESTART wird nur noch gesetzt, wenn es auf dem
! 2111: jeweiligen System auch definiert ist.
! 2112: - bei ausgehenden Verbindungen wird nun der Ziel-Port protokolliert.
! 2113: - neue Befehle VERSION und KILL implementiert.
! 2114: - make-Target "check" (und "distcheck") mit Sinn erfuellt :-)
! 2115: (die Tests sind aber bisher nicht all zu tiefgehend ...)
! 2116: - Durch einen Ueberlauf konnte die Idle-Time bei WHOIS negativ werden ...
! 2117: - Anpassungen an A/UX: gehoert nun auch zu den unterstuetzten Platformen.
! 2118: - WHOIS wird nicht mehr automatisch an den "Original-Server" weiterge-
! 2119: leitet: war eh nicht RFC-konform und machte mit Clients Probleme.
! 2120: - an User wird nun immer ein "komplettes" Prefix (mit Host-Mask) ver-
! 2121: schickt, Server bekommen nach wie vor kurze: das "Original" hat bei
! 2122: bestimmten Befehlen (PRIVMSG) ansonsten evtl. Probleme ...
! 2123: - NAMES korrigiert und vollstaendig implementiert.
! 2124: - SQUIT wird auf jeden Fall geforwarded, zudem besseres Logging.
! 2125: - Ist ein Nick bei der User-Registrierung bereits belegt, nimmt der
! 2126: Server nun korrekt weitere NICK-Befehle an und verwendet diese.
! 2127: - PRIVMSG beachtet nun die Channel-Modes "n" und "m".
! 2128: - AWAY implementiert. PRIVMSG, MODE, USERHOST und WHOIS angepasst.
! 2129: - der ngIRCd unterstuetzt nun Channel-Topics (TOPIC-Befehl).
! 2130: - ausgehende Server-Verbindungen werden nun asynchron connectiert und
! 2131: blockieren nicht mehr den ganzen Server, wenn die Gegenseite nicht
! 2132: erreicht werden kann (bis zum Timeout konnten Minuten vergehen!).
! 2133: - Wert der Konfigurations-Variable "ConnectRetry" wird besser beachtet.
! 2134: - Channel- und Nicknames werden nun ordentlich validiert.
! 2135:
! 2136: ngIRCd 0.2.1, 17.02.2002
! 2137:
! 2138: - NICK korrigiert: es werden nun auch alle "betroffenen" User informiert.
! 2139: - configure-Script erweitert, u.a. bessere Anpassung an BeOS: dort wird
! 2140: nun die "libbe" zum ngIRCd gelinkt, somit funktioniert auch syslog.
! 2141: - Fehlerhafte bzw. noch nicht verstandene Modes werden nun ausfuehrlicher
! 2142: an den Client geliefert.
! 2143:
! 2144: ngIRCd 0.2.0, 15.02.2002
! 2145:
! 2146: - Nicknames und Channel-Namen werden etwas besser auf Gueltigkeit ueber-
! 2147: prueft; ist aber nach wie vor noch nicht ausreichend.
! 2148: - NJOINS von Servern wurden nicht an andere Server weitergeleitet.
! 2149: - Begonnen Channel-Modes und User-Channel-Modes zu implementieren: der
! 2150: Server versteht an User-Modes o und v, beachtet letzteres allerdings
! 2151: noch nirgends. Bekannte (aber nicht beachtete!) Channel-Modes sind
! 2152: bisher a, m, n, p, q, s und t. Diese Modes werden von Usern ange-
! 2153: nommen, von anderen Servern werden auch unbekannte Modes uebernommen.
! 2154: - Benutzer von connectierenden Servern wurden nicht in den Channels ange-
! 2155: kuendigt, es wurden nur die internen Strukturen angepasst.
! 2156: - Nach dem Connect eines Users werden LUSERS-Informationen angezeigt.
! 2157:
! 2158: ngIRCd 0.1.0, 29.01.2002
! 2159:
! 2160: - User-Modes bei User-Registrierungen von andere Servern (NICK-Befehl)
! 2161: wurden falsch uebernommen. Zudem wurden die Modes falsch gekuerzt.
! 2162: - Server-Verbindungen werden nun nach dem Start erst nach einer kurzen

! 2170: es gibt keine Channel-Ops, kein Topic, kein "topic lock" etc. pp.
! 2171: Chatten in Channels ist aber natuerlich moeglich ;-)
! 2172: - neue Befehle fuer Channles: JOIN, PART und NJOIN.
! 2173: - durch die Channels einige Aenderungen an PRIVMSG, WHOIS, MODE etc.
! 2174: - neu connectierenden Servern werden nun Channels mit NJOIN angekuendigt.

! 2181:
! 2182: ngIRCd 0.0.3, 16.01.2002
! 2183:
! 2184: - Server-Links vollstaendig implementiert: der ngIRCd kann nun auch
! 2185: "Sub-Server" haben, also sowohl als Leaf-Node als auch Hub in einem
! 2186: IRC-Netzwerk arbeiten.
! 2187: - MODE und NICK melden nun die Aenderungen an andere Server, ebenso
! 2188: die Befehle QUIT und SQUIT.

! 2211: nur "leafed server" sein, d.h. keine "Client-Server" haben. Einige
! 2212: Befehle sind auch noch nicht (optimal) angepasst: PRIVMSG funktioniert
! 2213: aber bereits, ebenso wie WHOIS (letzterer wird immer an den Server,
! 2214: auf dem der User registriert ist, weitergegeben).
! 2215: - "arpa/inet.h" wird nur noch includiert, wenn vorhanden.
