ngIRCd is free software and published under the
ngIRCd CVSHEAD
+ - New configuration option "OperServerMode" to enable a workaround needed
+ when running an network with ircd2 servers and "OperCanUseMode" enabled
+ to prevent the ircd2 daemon to drop mode changes of IRC operators.
+ Patch by Florian Westphal, <westphal@foo.fh-furtwangen.de>.
+ - Implemented support for "secret channels" (channel mode "s").
+ - New configuration option "Mask" for [Operator] sections to limit OPER
+ commands to ussers with a specific IRC mask. Patch from Florian Westphal.
+ - Write "error file" (/tmp/ngircd-XXX.err) only if compiled with debug
+ code ("--enable-debug") and running as daemon process.
+ - Don't create version information string each time a client connects
+ but insetead on server startup. By Florian Westphal.
+ - New configuration variable "PidFile", section "[Global]": if defined,
+ the server writes its process ID (PID) to this file. Default: off.
+ Idea of Florian Westphal, <westphal@foo.fh-furtwangen.de>.
+ - Code cleanups from Florian Westphal, <westphal@foo.fh-furtwangen.de>.
+ - Raised the maximum length of passwords to 20 characters.
+ - Fixed a memory leak when resizing the connection pool and realloc()
+ failed. Now we don't fall back to malloc(), which should be sane anyway.
+ Patch from Florian Westphal, <westphal@foo.fh-furtwangen.de>.
+ - Added support for the Howl (http://www.porchdogsoft.com/products/howl/)
+ Rendezvous API, in addition to the API of Apple (Mac OS X). The available
+ API will be autodetected when you call "./configure --with-rendezvous".
- Made ngIRCd compile on HP/UX 10.20 with native HP pre-ANSI C compiler and
most probably other older C compilers on other systems.
- When the daemon should switch to another user ID (ServerID is defined in
should enable the system to write proper core files when not running with
root privileges ...
+ngIRCd 0.8.3 (2005-02-03)
+
+ - Fixed a bug that could case a root exploit when the daemon is compiled
+ to do IDENT lookups and is logging to syslog. Bug discovered by CoKi,
+ <coki@nosystem.com.ar>, thanks a lot!
+ (http://www.nosystem.com.ar/advisories/advisory-11.txt)
+
+ngIRCd 0.8.2 (2005-01-26)
+
+ - Added doc/SSL.txt to distribution.
+ - Fixed a buffer overflow that could cause the daemon to crash. Bug found
+ by Florian Westphal, <westphal@foo.fh-furtwangen.de>.
+ - Fixed a possible buffer underrun when reading the MOTD file. Thanks
+ to Florian Westphal, <westphal@foo.fh-furtwangen.de>.
+ - Fixed detection of IRC lines which are too long to send. Detected by
+ Florian Westphal, <westphal@foo.fh-furtwangen.de>.
+ - Fixed return values of our own implementation of strlcpy(). The code has
+ been taken from rsync and they fixed it, but we didn't until today :-/
+ It has only been used when the system didn't implement strlcpy by itself,
+ not on "modern" systems. Florian Westphal, <westphal@foo.fh-furtwangen.de>.
