12 ngIRCd Release 19 (2012-02-29)
14 - Update build system: bump config.guess and config.sub files used by
15 GNU autoconf/automake to recent versions.
16 - Fix configuration file parser: don't accept "[SSL]" blocks in the
17 configuration file when no SSL support is built in ngIRCd.
18 - Fix building ngIRCd with old gcc versions (e. g. 2.7.2).
19 - Correctly re-open syslog logging after reading of configuration
20 file: Syslog logging has been initialized before reading the
21 configuraton, so ngIRCd always used the default facility and ignored
22 the "SyslogFacility" configuration option ...
23 Thanks to Patrik Schindler for reporting this issue!
25 ngIRCd 19~rc1 (2012-02-12)
26 - Enhance command limits for server links: the limit now is dependent
27 on the number of users connected in the network and higher while
28 servers are joining the network to make the login of servers faster.
29 - Log more information about server synchronization.
30 - Update preliminary ngIRCd protocol module for Anope 1.9.6, which now
31 is the only supported version.
32 - New numeric RPL_WHOISHOST_MSG(378), which returns the DNS hostname
33 (if available) and the IP address of a client in the WHOIS reply.
34 Only the user itself and local IRC operators get this numeric.
35 - Implement channel exception list (mode 'e'). This allows a channel
36 operator to define exception masks that allow users to join the
37 channel even when a "ban" would match and prevent them from joining:
38 the exception list (e) overrides the ban list (b).
39 - PRIVMSG and NOTICE: Handle nick!user@host masks case-insensitive.
40 - Implement user mode 'C': If the target user of a PRIVMSG or NOTICE
41 command has the user mode 'C' set, it is required that both sender
42 and receiver are on the same channel. This prevents private flooding
43 by completely unknown clients.
44 - New RPL_WHOISREGNICK_MSG(307) numeric in WHOIS command replies: it
45 indicates if a nick name is registered (if user mode 'R' set).
46 - Limit channel invite, ban, and exception lists to 50 entries and fix
47 duplicate check and error messages when adding already listed entries
48 or deleting no (longer) existing ones.
49 - Fix both ERR_SUMMONDISABLED(445) and ERR_USERSDISABLED(446) replies.
50 - MODE command: correctly return ERR_UNKNOWNMODE(472) numeric for
51 unknown channel modes, instead of ERR_UMODEUNKNOWNFLAG(501).
52 - ISUPPORT(005) numeric: add "O", "R", and "z" modes to "CHANMODES",
53 add "EXCEPTS=e" and "INVEX=I", add "MAXLIST=beI:50".
54 - Limit the number of list items in the reply of LIST (100), WHO (25),
55 WHOIS (10), and WHOWAS (25) commands.
56 - LIST command: compare pattern case insensitive.
57 - Limit the MODE command to handle a maximum number of 5 channel modes
58 that require an argument (+Ibkl) per call and report this number
59 in the ISUPPORT(005) numeric: "MODES=5".
60 - Fix handling of channel mode sequence with/without arguments.
61 For example, don't generate wrong error messages when handling
62 "MODE #chan +IIIIItn *!aa@b *!bb@c *!cc@d *!dd@e *!ee@f".
63 - When sending data on a connection, only try to get the type of
64 the client if there still is one assigned. This could trigger an
65 assertion and end the daemon in some error paths.
66 - Don't try to close already closed/invalid sockets to forked child
67 processes. This could potentially crash the daemon in some cases
68 with IDENT lookups enabled.
69 - WHOIS command: make sure that the reply ends with RPL_ENDOFWHOIS,
70 don't answer queries for IRC servers, make sure mask matching is
71 case-insensitive, and that RPL_ENDOFWHOIS numeric is sent with the
72 unmodified mask (like it has been received from the client).
73 - LINKS command: support <mask> parameter to limit the reply.
74 - Add 1 second penalty for every further target on PRIVMSG/NOTICE
75 commands: this reduces the possibility of flooding channels with
76 commands like "PRIVMSG/NOTICE #a,#n,#c,... :message" a little bit.
77 Problem noticed by Cahata, thanks!
78 - Display correct error message when "Server{UID|GID}" variabe in the
79 configuration file is invalid (not a number and no existing user).
80 - Update Copyright notices for 2012 :-)
81 - JOIN command: don't stop handling of channel lists when a single
82 channel cannot be joined (because of bad name, wrong key or channel
83 limit reached), but report an error and continue. And don't check
84 the channel limit and don't report with "too many channels" when
85 trying to join a channel that the client already is a member of.
86 - ISON command: reply with the correct upper-/lowercase nick names.
87 - New configuration option "PAMIsOptional": when set, clients not
88 sending a password are still allowed to connect: they won't become
89 "identified" and keep the "~" character prepended to their supplied
90 user name. See "man 5 ngircd.conf" for details.
91 - Fixed handling of WHO commands. This fixes two bugs: "WHO <nick>"
92 returned nothing at all if the user was "+i" (reported by Cahata,
93 thanks) and "WHO <nick|nickmask>" returned channel names instead
94 of "*" when the user was member of a (visible) channel.
95 - Fixed some spelling errors in documentation and code comments
96 (Thanks to Christoph Biedl).
97 - contrib/Debian/control: Update and complete "Build-Depends" and
98 update our Debian package descriptions with "official" ones.
99 - Fixed typo in two error messages.
100 - LUSERS reply: only count channels that are visible to the requesting
101 client, so the existence of secret channels is no longer revealed by
102 using LUSERS. Reported by Cahata, thanks!
103 - Unknown user and channel modes no longer stop the mode parser, but
104 are simply ignored. Therefore modes after the unknown one are now
105 handled. This is how ircd2.10/ircd2.11/ircd-seven behave, at least.
106 Reported by Cahata, thanks!
107 - README: Update list of implemented commands.
108 - Log better error messages when rejecting clients.
109 - Implement IRC commands "GLINE" and "KLINE" to ban users. G-Lines are
110 synchronized between server on peering, K-Lines are local only.
111 If you use "*!<user>@<host>" or "*!*@<host>" masks, these connections
112 are blocked even before the user is fully logged in (before PASS,
113 NICK, and USER commands have been processed) and before the child
114 processes for authentication are forked, so resource usage is smaller.
115 - Xcode: update project file for Xcode 4.2 and define HAVE_GAI_STRERROR
116 for Mac OS X Xcode builds.
117 - ./configure: Fix logic and quoting of poll() detection code: only use
118 poll() when poll.h exists as well.
119 - Suppress 'Can't create pre-defined channel: invalid name: ""' message.
120 - whois-test: handle local hostname = "localhost.localdomain" using the
121 pattern "localhost*" for valid local hostnames.
122 - sample-ngircd.conf: show correct default for "PAM" variable: The
123 default of "PAM" is "yes" when ngIRCd has been configured to use it,
124 so show the correct default value in the sample configuration file.
126 - Update GPL 2 license text to current version.
127 - Only close "unrelated" sockets in forked child processes: This fixes
128 the problem that ngIRCd can't do any IDENT lookups because of the
129 socket has already been closed in the child process.
130 The bug has been introduced starting with ngIRCd 17 ... :-(
131 (commit ID 6ebb31ab35e)
132 - Added doc/Modes.txt: document modes supported by ngIRCd.
133 - Implement user mode "R": indicates that the nick name of this user
134 is "registered". This mode isn't handled by ngIRCd itself, but must
135 be set and unset by IRC services like Anope.
136 - Implement channel mode "R": only registered users (having the user
137 mode "R" set) are allowed to join this channel.
138 - Test suite: bind to loopback (127.0.0.1) interface only.
139 - New 2nd message "Nickname too long" for error code 432.
140 - Xcode: Mac OS X config.h: support 10.5 as well as 10.6/10.7 SDK.
141 - Xcode: exclude more Xcode 4 specific directories in ".gitignore".
142 - Disconnect directly linked servers sending QUIT. Without this,
143 the server becomes removed from the network and the client list,
144 but the connection isn't shut down at all ...
145 - contrib/ngindent: detect "gindent" as GNU indent.
146 - Handle unknown user and channel modes: these modes are saved and
147 forwarded to other servers, but ignored otherwise.
148 - Handle channel user modes 'a', 'h', and 'q' from remote servers.
149 These channel user modes aren't used for anything at the moment,
150 but ngIRCd knows that these three modes are "channel user modes"
151 and not "channel modes", that is that these modes take an "nick name"
152 argument. Like unknown user and channel modes, these modes are saved
153 and forwarded to other servers, but ignored otherwise.
154 - Correctly inform clients when other servers change their user modes.
155 This is required for some services to work correctly.
156 - Test suite: make getpid.sh work even when run as root.
157 - Spoofed prefixes: close connection on non-server links only.
158 On server-links, spoofed prefixes can happen because of the
159 asynchronous nature of the IRC protocol. So don't break server-
160 links, only log a message and ignore the command. (Closes #113)
162 ngIRCd Release 18 (2011-07-10)
164 - Update timestamp of ngircd(8) manual page.
165 - Add preliminary ngIRCd protocol module for Anope 1.9 to contrib/Anope/.
166 - Don't register WHOWAS information when "MorePrivacy" option is in effect.
168 ngIRCd 18~rc2 (2011-06-29)
169 - Update documentation, fix some wording, and use a spellchecker :-)
170 - ngircd.conf.5: strip "SSL" prefix from variables in [SSL] section.
171 - ngircd.8: document debugging options.
172 - GnuTLS: use 1024 bits as minimum size of the DH prime. This enables
173 ngIRCd to accept incoming connections from other servers and clients
174 that "only" use at least 1024 bits again, like ngIRCd 17 did (and no
175 longer requires 2048 bits for incoming connections).
177 ngIRCd 18~rc1 (2011-06-27)
178 - PAM warning message: make clear which "Password" config option is ignored.
179 - New configuration option "MorePrivacy" to "censor" some user information.
180 When enabled, signon time and idle time is left out. Part and quit
181 messages are made to look the same. WHOWAS requests are silently dropped.
182 All of this is useful if one wish to conceal users that access the ngircd
183 servers from TOR or I2P.
184 - New configuration option "ScrubCTCP" to scrub incoming CTCP commands. If
185 activated, the server silently drops incoming CTCP requests from both
186 other servers and from users. The server that scrubs CTCP will not forward
187 the CTCP requests to other servers in the network either, which can spell
188 trouble if not every oper knows about the CTCP-scrubbing. Scrubbing CTCP
189 commands also means that it is not possible to send files between users.
190 There is one exception to the CTCP scrubbing performed: ACTION ("/me
191 commands") requests are not scrubbed.
192 - Display configuration errors more prominent on "--configtest".
193 - Restructure ngIRCd configuration file: introduce new [Limits], [Options],
194 and [SSL] sections. The intention of this restructuring is to make the
195 [Global] section much cleaner, so that it only contains variables that
196 most installations must adjust to the local requirements. All the optional
197 variables are moved to [Limits], for configurable limits and timers of
198 ngIRCd, and [Options], for optional features. All SSL-related variables
199 are moved to [SSL] and the "SSL"-prefix is stripped. The old variables in
200 the [Global] section are deprecated now, but are still recognized.
201 => Don't forget to check your configuration, use "ngircd --configtest"!
202 - New documentation "how to contribute": doc/Contributing.txt.
203 - Slightly fix error handling when connecting to remote servers.
204 - GnuTLS: bump DH-bitsize to 2048: this solves the problem that some clients
205 refuse to connect to severs that only offer 1024. For interoperability it
206 would be best to just use 4096 bits, but that takes minutes, even on
208 - contrib/platformtest.sh: fix gcc version detection.
209 - Avoid needlessly scary 'buffer overflow' messages: When the write buffer
210 space grows too large, ngIRCd has to disconnect the client to avoid
211 wasting too much memory, which is logged with a scary 'write buffer
212 overflow' message. Change this to a more descriptive wording.
213 - Require server prefixes for most commands on RFC2812 links. RFC1459 links
214 (often used by services, for example) are not affected.
215 - Mac OS X: update installer functionality, texts, and add our logo :-)
216 - New configuration option "RequireAuthPing": PING-PONG on login. When
217 enabled, this configuration option lets ngIRCd send a PING with an numeric
218 "token" to clients logging in; and it will not become registered in the
219 network until the client responds with the correct PONG.
220 - New configuration option "NoticeAuth": send NOTICE AUTH on connect. When
221 active, ngircd will send "NOTICE AUTH" messages on client connect time
222 like e.g. snircd (QuakeNet) does.
223 - Generate WALLOPS message on SQUIT from IRC operators; so SQUIT now behaves
224 like CONNECT and DISCONNECT commands, when called by an IRC operator.
225 - Allow servers to send more commands in the first 10 seconds ("burst"). This
226 helps to speed up server login and network synchronization.
227 - Add support for up to 3 targets in WHOIS queries, also allow up to one
228 wildcard query from local hosts. Follows ircd 2.10 implementation rather
229 than RFC 2812. At most 10 entries are returned per wildcard expansion.
230 - ngircd.conf(5) manual page: describe types of configuration variables
231 (booleans, text strings, integer numbers) and add type information to each
232 variable description.
233 - Don't use "the.net" in sample-ngircd.conf, use "example.net".
234 - Terminate incoming connections on HTTP commands "GET" and "POST".
235 - New configuration option "CloakHost": when set, this hostname is used for
236 every client instead of the real DNS hostname (or IP address).
237 - New configuration option "CloakUserToNick": when enabled, ngIRCd sets
238 every clients' user name to their nick name and hides the user name
239 supplied by the IRC client.
240 - doc/Protocol.txt: Update description of the CHANINFO and WEBIRC commands.
241 - Doxygen'ify (document) much more source files; code cleanup ...
242 - Make write buffers bigger, but flush early. Before this change, a client
243 got disconnected if the buffer flushing at 4k failed, now regular clients
244 can store up to 32k and servers up 64k even if flushing is not possible at
245 the moment. This enhances reliability on slow links.
246 - Don't access possibly free'd CLIENT structure. Ooops.
247 - Allow "Port = 0" in [Server] blocks. Port number 0 marks remote servers
248 that try to connect to this daemon, but where this daemon never tries to
249 establish a connection on its own: only incoming connections are allowed.
250 - Configuration: fix 'Value of "..." is not a number!' for negative values.
251 - Enable WHOIS command to return information about services.
252 - Implement channel mode 'O': "IRC operators only". This channel mode is
253 used on DALnet (bahamut), for example.
254 - Remove support for ZeroConf/Bonjour/Rendezvous service registration
255 including the "[No]ZeroConf" configuration option.
256 - TOPIC command: test for channel admin rights correctly: this enables other
257 servers, services and IRC operators to change channel topics, even when
258 the client is not joined to this channel.
259 - Deprecate NoXX-Options in ngircd.conf and move new variants into our new
260 [Options] section: 'NoDNS=no' => 'DNS=yes', 'NoIdent=no' => 'Ident=yes',
261 'NoPAM=no' => 'PAM=yes', and 'NoZeroConf=no' => 'ZeroConf=yes' (and
262 vice-versa). The defaults are adjusted accordingly and the old variables
263 in [Global] are still accepted, so there is no functional change.
264 - Fix confusing "adding to invite list" debug messages: adding entries to
265 ban list produced 'invite list' debug output ...
266 - Don't throttle services and servers being registered.
267 - Xcode: correctly sort files :-)
268 - Don't assert() when searching a client for an invalid server token (this is
269 only relevant when a trusted server on a server-server link sends invalid
272 ngIRCd Release 17.1 (2010-12-19)
274 - --configtest: remember if MOTD is configured by file or phrase
275 - Enhance log messages when establishing server links a little bit
276 - Reset ID of outgoing server link on DNS error correctly
277 - Don't log critical (or worse) messages to stderr
278 - Manual page ngircd(8): add SIGNALS section
279 - Manual pages: update and simplify AUTHORS section
280 - Remove "error file" when compiled with debug code enabled
281 - README: Updated list of implemented commands
282 - add doc/README-Interix.txt and doc/Bopm.txt to distribution tarball
283 - Merge branch 'numeric-329'
284 - add doc/PAM.txt to distribution tarball
285 - New numeric 329: get channel creation time on "MODE #chan" commands
286 - Save channel creation time; new function Channel_CreationTime()
288 ngIRCd Release 17 (2010-11-07)
290 - doc: change path names in sample-ngircd.conf depending on sysconfdir
291 - Fix up generation and distribution of sample-ngircd.conf
292 - contrib/ngircd-redhat.init: updated email address of Naoya Nakazawa
293 - contrib/platformtest.sh: make command name quoting consistent
295 ngIRCd 17~rc3 (2010-10-27)
296 - Xcode builds: detect version number correctly, updateed project file
297 to use the Mac OS X 10.5.x SDK, disable pam_fail_delay() because it
298 is only available starting with Mac OS X 10.6, and generate a default
299 PAM configuration for the Mac OS X Installer.app package of ngIRCd.
300 - Debian: updated standards version to 3.9.1, added libpam0g-dev to the
301 dependencies, and install a default /etc/pam.d/ngircd allowing all logins.
302 - Make contrib/platformtest.sh more portable.
303 - Fix connect attempts to further IP addresses of outgoing server links.
305 ngIRCd 17~rc2 (2010-10-25)
306 - ZeroConf: include header files missing since commit a988bbc86a.
307 - Generate ngIRCd version number from GIT tag.
308 - Make sourcecode compatible with ansi2knr again. This allows to compile
309 ngIRCd using a pre-ANSI K&R C compiler again.
310 - ./configure: check if C compiler can compile ISO Standard C.
311 - ./configure: check support for C prototypes again.
312 - Don't use PARAMS() macro for function implementations.
313 - Added m68k/apple/aux3.0.1 (gcc 2.7.2) to doc/Platforms.txt.
314 - Only try to set FD_CLOEXEC if this flag is defined.
315 - Only use "__attribute__ ((unused))" if GCC >=2.8 is used.
316 - doc/Makefile.am: don't set docdir, automake handles it already.
318 ngIRCd 17~rc1 (2010-10-11)
319 - New configuration option "NoZeroConf" to disable service registration at
320 runtime even if ngIRCd is compiled with support for ZeroConf (e.g. using
321 Howl, Avahi or on Mac OS X).
322 - New configuration option "SyslogFacility" to define the syslog "facility"
323 (the "target"), to which ngIRCd should send its log messages.
324 Possible values are system dependant, but most probably "auth", "daemon",
325 "user" and "local1" through "local7" are possible values; see syslog(3).
326 Default is "local5" for historical reasons.
327 - Dump the "internal server state" (configured servers, established
328 connections and known clients) to the console or syslog when receiving
329 the SIGUSR2 signal and debug mode is enabled.
330 - Enable the daemon to disable and enable "debug mode" on runtime using
331 signal SIGUSR1, when debug code is compiled in, not only on startup
332 using the command line parameters.
333 - Signal handler: added new 'delayed' signal handlers, including fallback
334 to deprecated sysv API. And removed global NGIRCd_SignalRehash variable.
335 - IO: add io_cloexec() to set close-on-exec flag.
336 - ng_ipaddr.h: include required assert.h header.
337 - Conn_SyncServerStruct(): test all connections; and work case insensitive
338 - configure script: correctly indent IPv6 yes/no summary output.
339 - Don't reset My_Connections[Idx].lastping when reading data, so the
340 client lag debug-output is working again.
341 - Implement user mode "x": hostname cloaking (closes: #102).
342 - Make configure switch "--docdir" work (closes: #108).
343 - Reformat and update FAQ.txt a little bit.
344 - INSTALL: mention SSL, IPv6, and changed handling of MotdFile.
345 - Change MOTD file handling: ngIRCd now caches the contens of the MOTD
346 file, so the daemon now requires a HUP signal or REHASH command to
347 re-read the MOTD file when its content changed.
348 - Startup: open /dev/null before chroot'ing the daemon.
349 - Allow IRC ops to change channel modes even without OperServerMode set.
350 - Allow IRC operators to use MODE command on any channel (closes: #100).
351 - Added mailmap file for git-[short]log and git-blame.
352 - Authenticated users should be registered without the "~" mark.
353 - Set NoPAM=yes in configuration files used for the testsuite.
354 - New configuration option "NoPAM" to disable PAM.
355 - Implement asynchronous user authentication using PAM, please see the
356 file doc/PAM.txt for details.
357 - Resolver: Implement signal handler and catch TERM signals.
358 - Don't set a penalty time when doing DNS lookups.
359 - Add some documentation for using BOPM with ngIRCd, see doc/Bopm.txt.
360 - Implement user mode "c": receive connect/disconnect NOTICEs. Note that
361 this new mode requires the user to be an IRC operator.
362 - ngircd.init: require "$network" and "$remote_fs" when stopping ngircd.
363 - Show SSL status in WHOIS output, numeric 275.
364 - Include correct header files when testing for arpa/inet.h (Closes: #105).
365 - Don't access already freed memory in IRC_KILL().
366 - Fix "beeing" typo ...
367 - SSL/TLS: fix bogus "socket closed" error message.
369 ngIRCd Release 16 (2010-05-02)
371 - doc/SSL: remove line continuation marker
373 ngIRCd 16~rc2 (2010-04-25)
374 - Updated some more copyright notices, it's 2010 already :-)
375 - Only compile in Get_Error() if really needed
376 - Fix gcc warning "ignoring return value of ..."
377 - Include netinet/in_systm.h alongside netinet/ip.h
378 - Include netinet/{in.h, in_systm.h} when checking for netinet/ip.h
379 - Only include <netinet/in_systm.h> if it exists
380 - Updated doc/Platforms.txt
381 - Enhace connection statistics counters: display total number of served
382 connections on daemon shutdown and when a new client connects using
383 the new numeric RPL_STATSCONN (250).
385 ngIRCd 16~rc1 (2010-03-25)
386 - Various fixes to the build system and code cleanups.
387 - contrib/platformtest.sh: Only show latest commit.
388 - Updatet doc/Platforms.txt, added new README-Interix.txt documenting
389 how to tun ngIRCd on Microsoft Services for UNIX (MS SFU, MS SUA).
390 - Updated links to the ngIRCd homepage (bug tracker, mailing list).
391 - Added missing modes to USERMODES #define
392 - Show our name (IRCD=ngIRCd) in ISUPPORT (005) numeric
393 - Quote received messages of ERROR commands in log output.
394 - ngircd.conf manual page: document missing "Password" variable.
395 - Implement WEBIRC command used by some Web-IRC frontends. The password
396 required to secure this command must be configured using the new
397 "WebircPassword" variable in the ngircd.conf file.
398 - Don't use port 6668 as example for both "Ports" and "SSLPorts".
399 - Remove limit on max number of configured irc operators.
400 - Only link "nsl" library when really needed.
401 - A new channel mode "secure connections only" (+z) has been implemented:
402 Only clients using a SSL encrypted connection to the server are allowed
403 to join such a channel.
404 But please note three things: a) already joined clients are not checked
405 when setting this mode, b) IRC operators are always allowed to join
406 every channel, and c) remote clients using a server not supporting this
407 mode are not checked either and therefore always allowed to join.
409 ngIRCd Release 15 (2009-11-07)
411 - "ngircd --configtest": print SSL configuration options even when unset.
413 ngIRCd 15~rc1 (2009-10-15)
414 - Do not add default listening port (6667) if SSL ports were specified, so
415 ngIRCd can be configured to only accept SSL-encrypted connections now.
416 - Enable IRC operators to use the IRC command SQUIT (insted of the already
417 implemented but non-standard DISCONNECT command).
418 - New configuration option "AllowRemoteOper" (disabled by default) that
419 enables remote IRC operators to use the IRC commands SQUIT and CONNECT
421 - Mac OS X: fix test for packagemaker(1) tool in Makefile and use gcc 4.0
422 for Mac OS X 10.4 compatibility in the Xcode project file.

460 here a file can be configured for each pre-defined channel which contains
461 individual channel keys for different users.
462 - Remove limit on maximum number of predefined channels in ngircd.conf.

472 ngIRCd Release 13 (2008-12-25)
474 - Updated documentation, especially doc/Services.txt and doc/SSL.txt.
475 - Make the test suite work on OpenSolaris.
477 ngIRCd 13~rc1 (2008-11-21):
478 - New version number scheme :-)
479 - Initial support for IRC services, using a RFC1459 style interface,
480 tested with IRCServices (http://www.ircservices.za.net/) version 5.1.13.
481 For this to work, ngIRCd now supports server-server links conforming
482 to RFC 1459. New ngircd.conf(5) option: ServiceMask.
483 - Support for SSL-encrypted server-server and client-server links using
484 OpenSSL (configure: --with-openssl) or GNUTLS (configure: --with-gnutls).
485 New ngircd.conf(5) options: SSLPorts, SSLKeyFile, SSLKeyFilePassword,
486 SSLCertFile, SSLDHFile, and SSLConnect.
487 - Server local channels have been implemented, prefix "&", that are only
488 visible to users of the same server and are not visible in the network.
489 In addition ngIRCd creates a "special" channel &SERVER on startup and logs
490 all the messages to it that a user with mode +s receives.
491 - New make target "osxpkg" to build a Mac OS X installer package.
492 - Debug mode: enable support for GNU libc memory tracing (see mtrace(3)).
493 - SysV init script: use LSB logging functions, if available.
494 - Added some more FAQ entries (regarding logging and IRC operators).
495 - Allow IRC operators to overwrite channel limits.
496 - Support for enhanced PRIVMSG and NOTICE message targets.
497 - More tests have been added to the test-suite ("make check"), and two
498 servers are started for testing server-server linking.
499 - Added a timestamp to log messages to the console.
500 - New configuration option "NoIdent" to disable IDENT lookups even if the
501 daemon is compiled with IDENT support.
503 ngIRCd 0.12.1 (2008-07-09)
505 - Allow mixed line terminations (CR+LF/CR/LF) in non-RFC-compliant mode
506 - Don't allow stray \r or \n in command parameters
507 - --configtest: return non-zero exit code if there are errors
508 - Update ngIRCd manual pages
509 - Add option aliases -V (for --version) and -h (for --help).
510 - Fix 'no-ipv6' compile error.
511 - Make Listen parameter a comma-separated list of addresses. This also
512 obsoletes ListenIPv4 and ListenIPv6 options. If Listen is unset, it
513 is treated as Listen="::,0.0.0.0".
514 Note: ListenIPv4 and ListenIPv6 options are still recognized,
515 but ngircd will print a warning if they are used in the config file.
517 ngIRCd 0.12.0 (2008-05-13)
519 - Fix Bug: 85: "WHO #SecretChannel" that user is not a member of now returns
520 proper RPL_ENDOFWHO_MSG instead of nothing. (Ali Shemiran)
521 - Fix compile on FreeBSD 5.4 and AIX.
522 - If bind() fails, also print IP address and not just the port number.

532 ngIRCd 0.12.0-pre1 (2008-04-20)
533 - Include Mac OS X Xcode project in distribution archives.
534 - Do not exit on SIGHUP or /REHASH if the config file cannot opened.
536 - Install a LaunchDaemon script to start/stop ngIRCd on Mac OS X.
537 - Implemented IRC commands INFO, SUMMON (dummy), and USERS (dummy) and
538 enhanced test suite to check these commands. (Dana Dahlstrom)
539 - RPL_WHOREPLY messages generated by IRC_WHO didn't include flags (*,@,+).
541 - IRC_WHO now supports search patterns and will test this against user
542 nickname/servername/hostname, etc. as required by RFC 2812, Section 3.6.1.
543 (reported by Dana Dahlstrom)
544 - Add test cases for "WHO" command. (Dana Dahlstrom)
545 - Implement RFC 2812 handling of "0" argument to 'JOIN': must be treated
546 as if the user had sent PART commands for all channels the user is a
547 member of. (Dana Dahlstrom)
548 - Allow NOTICEs to be sent to a channel. (Fabian Schlager)
550 ngIRCd 0.11.1 (2008-02-26)
552 - Fix sending of JOIN commands between servers when remote server appended
553 mode flags. (Rolf Eike Beer) [from HEAD]
554 - Send "G" instead of "H" flag in WHO replies. (reported by Dana Dahlstrom)
555 - Under some circumstances ngIRCd issued channel MODE message with a
556 trailing space. (Dana Dahlstrom) [from HEAD]
558 ngIRCd 0.11.0 (2008-01-15)
560 ngIRCd 0.11.0-pre2 (2008-01-07)
561 - SECURITY: IRC_PART could reference invalid memory, causing
562 ngircd to crash [from HEAD]. (CVE-2008-0285)
564 ngIRCd 0.11.0-pre1 (2008-01-02)
565 - Use dotted-decimal IP address if hostname is >= 64.
566 - Add support for /STAT u (server uptime) command.
567 - New [Server] configuration Option "Bind" allows to specify
568 the source IP address to use when connecting to remote server.
569 - New configuration option "MaxNickLength" to specify the allowed maximum
570 length of user nick names. Note: must be unique in an IRC network!
571 - Enhanced the IRC+ protocol to support an enhanced "server handshake" and
572 enable server to recognize numeric 005 (ISUPPORT) and 376 (ENDOFMOTD).
573 See doc/Protocol.txt for details.
574 - Re-added doc/SSL.txt to distribution -- got lost somewhere!?
575 - Fixes the wrong logging output when nested servers are introduced
576 to the network as well as the wrong output of the LINKS command.
577 - Update Mac OS X Xcode project file for Xcode 3.
578 - Adjust test suite to be usable on HP/UX 11.11 :-)
579 - Fix code to compile using K&R C compiler and ansi2kr again.
580 - New config option NoDNS: Disables DNS lookups when clients connect.
581 - Fixed propagation of channel mode 'P' on server links.
582 - Numeric 317: implemented "signon time" (displayed in WHOIS result).
583 - Fixed code that prevented GCC 2.95 to compile ngIRCd.
584 - Adjust path names in manual pages according to "./configure" settings.
585 - Added new server configuration option "Passive" for "Server" blocks to
586 disable automatic outgoing connections (similar to -p option to ngircd,
587 but only for the specified server). (Tassilo Schweyer)
588 - Don't connect to a server if a connection to another server within the
589 same group is already in progress.
590 - Added support for the WALLOPS command. Usage is restricted to IRC
593 ngIRCd 0.10.4 (2008-01-07)
595 - SECURITY: IRC_PART could reference invalid memory, causing

606 ngIRCd 0.10.2-pre2 (2007-05-19)
607 - Server links are allowed to use larger write buffers now (up to 50 KB).
609 ngIRCd 0.10.2-pre1 (2007-05-05)
610 - Fix compressed server links (broken since 0.10.0).
611 - Predefined Channel configuration now allows specification of channel key
612 (mode k) and maximum user count (mode l).
613 - When using epoll() IO interface, compile in the select() interface as
614 well and fall back to it when epoll() isn't available on runtime.
615 - New configure option "--without-select" to disable select() IO API
616 (even when using epoll(), see above).
617 - Added support for IO APIs "poll()" and "/dev/poll".
618 - Reorganized internal handling of invite and ban lists.
620 ngIRCd 0.10.1 (2006-12-17)
622 - Fixed validation of server names containing digits.
623 - Update the "info text" of the local server after re-reading configuration.
624 - Changed Numerics 265 and 266 to follow ircd 2.11.x "standards".
625 - Allow PASS syntax defined in RFC 1459 for server links, too.
626 - Enhanced ISUPPORT message (005 numeric).
627 - New configuration option "PredefChannelsOnly": if set, clients can only
628 join predefined channels.
629 - Code cleanups: use "LogDebug(...)" instead of "Log(LOG_DEBUG, ...)", use
630 "strcspn()", unsigned vs. signed, use "const", fix whitespaces, ...
632 ngIRCd 0.10.0 (2006-10-01)
634 - Fixed file handle leak when daemon is not able to send MOTD to a client.
636 ngIRCd 0.10.0-pre2 (2006-09-09)
637 - Fixed build problems with GCC option -fstack-protector.
638 - Minor documentation updates.
640 ngIRCd 0.10.0-pre1 (2006-08-02)
641 - Validate "ServerName" (see RFC 2812, section 2.3.1).
642 - Enhanced DIE to accept a single parameter ("comment text") which is sent
643 to all locally connected clients before the server goes down.
644 - The ngIRCd handles time shifts backwards more gracefully now (the
645 timeout handling doesn't disconnect clients by mistake any more).
646 - Internal: Restructured connection handling (the connection ID is equal
647 to the file descriptor of the connection).
648 - Internal: Simplified resolver code.
649 - JOIN now supports more than one channel key at a time.
650 - Implemented numeric "333": Time and user name who set a channel topic.
651 - Enhanced the handler for PING and PONG commands: fix forwarding and enable
652 back-passing of a client supplied additional argument of PING.
653 - Changed handling of timeouts for unregistered connections: don't reset
654 the counter if data is received and disconnect clients earlier.
655 - Removed unnecessary #define of "LOCAL", now use plain C "static" instead.
656 - Channel topics are no longer limited to 127 characters: now the only limit
657 is the maximum length of an IRC command, i. e. 512 bytes (in practice, this
658 limits the topic to about 490 characters due to protocol overhead).
659 - Reverse DNS lookup code now checks the result by doing an additional
660 lookup to prevent spoofing.
661 - Added new IO layer which (optionally) supports epoll() and kqueue() in
662 addition to the select() interface.
664 ngIRCd 0.9.2 (2005-10-15)
666 - Fixed a bug that could cause the daemon to crash when outgoing server
667 connections can't be established.
668 - Fixed a bug that caused the daemon to leak file descriptors when no
669 resolver subprocesses could be created.
670 - Fixed server NOTICEs to users with "s" mode ("server messages").
671 - Fixed a format string bug in "connection statistics" messages to clients.
673 ngIRCd 0.9.1 (2005-08-03)
675 - The KILL command killed much more than desired (including server links!)
676 when the target user is connected to a remote server. Bug introduced in
677 ngIRCd 0.9.0 ... Reported by <qssl@fastmail.fm>, Thanks!
678 - Changed some constants to be "signed" (instead of unsigned) to solve
679 problems with old (pre-ANSI) compilers.
681 ngIRCd 0.9.0 (2005-07-24)
683 ngIRCd 0.9.0-pre1 (2005-07-09)
684 - Fixed maximum length of user names, now allow up to 9 characters.
685 - Cut off oversized IRC messages that should be sent to the network instead
686 of shutting down the (wrong) connection.
687 - Don't generate error messages for unknown commands received before the
688 client is registered with the server (like the original ircd).
689 - Never run with root privileges but always switch the user ID.
690 - Make "netsplit" messages RFC compliant.
691 - Fix handling of QUIT Messages: send only one message, even if the client
692 is member of multiple channels.
693 - Don't exit server if closing of a socket fails; instead ignore it and
694 pray that this will be "the right thing" ...
695 - Implemented the IRC function "WHOWAS".
696 - Don't enable assert() calls when not ./configure'd with --enable-debug.
697 - Fixed ./configure test for TCP Wrappers: now it runs on Mac OS X as well.
698 - Enhanced configure script: now you can pass an (optional) search path
699 to all --with-XXX parameters, e. g. "--with-ident=/opt/ident".
700 - Removed typedefs for the native C datatypes.
701 Use stdbool.h / inttypes.h if available.
702 - New configuration option "OperServerMode" to enable a workaround needed
703 when running an network with ircd2 servers and "OperCanUseMode" enabled
704 to prevent the ircd2 daemon to drop mode changes of IRC operators.
705 Patch by Florian Westphal, <westphal@foo.fh-furtwangen.de>.
706 - Implemented support for "secret channels" (channel mode "s").
707 - New configuration option "Mask" for [Operator] sections to limit OPER
708 commands to users with a specific IRC mask. Patch from Florian Westphal.
709 - Write "error file" (/tmp/ngircd-XXX.err) only if compiled with debug
710 code ("--enable-debug") and running as daemon process.
711 - Don't create version information string each time a client connects
712 but instead on server startup. By Florian Westphal.
713 - New configuration variable "PidFile", section "[Global]": if defined,
714 the server writes its process ID (PID) to this file. Default: off.
715 Idea of Florian Westphal, <westphal@foo.fh-furtwangen.de>.
716 - Code cleanups from Florian Westphal, <westphal@foo.fh-furtwangen.de>.
717 - Raised the maximum length of passwords to 20 characters.
718 - Fixed a memory leak when resizing the connection pool and realloc()
719 failed. Now we don't fall back to malloc(), which should be sane anyway.
720 Patch from Florian Westphal, <westphal@foo.fh-furtwangen.de>.
721 - Added support for the Howl (http://www.porchdogsoft.com/products/howl/)
722 Rendezvous API, in addition to the API of Apple (Mac OS X). The available
723 API will be autodetected when you call "./configure --with-rendezvous".
724 - Made ngIRCd compile on HP/UX 10.20 with native HP pre-ANSI C compiler and
725 most probably other older C compilers on other systems.
726 - When the daemon should switch to another user ID (ServerID is defined in
727 the configuration file) and is not running in a chroot environment, it
728 changes its working directory to the home directory of this user. This
729 should enable the system to write proper core files when not running with
732 ngIRCd 0.8.3 (2005-02-03)
734 - Fixed a bug that could case a root exploit when the daemon is compiled
735 to do IDENT lookups and is logging to syslog. Bug discovered by CoKi,
736 <coki@nosystem.com.ar>, thanks a lot!
737 (CVE-2005-0226; http://www.nosystem.com.ar/advisories/advisory-11.txt)
739 ngIRCd 0.8.2 (2005-01-26)
741 - Added doc/SSL.txt to distribution.
742 - Fixed a buffer overflow that could cause the daemon to crash. Bug found
743 by Florian Westphal, <westphal@foo.fh-furtwangen.de>. (CVE-2005-0199)
744 - Fixed a possible buffer underrun when reading the MOTD file. Thanks
745 to Florian Westphal, <westphal@foo.fh-furtwangen.de>.
746 - Fixed detection of IRC lines which are too long to send. Detected by
747 Florian Westphal, <westphal@foo.fh-furtwangen.de>.
748 - Fixed return values of our own implementation of strlcpy(). The code has
749 been taken from rsync and they fixed it, but we didn't until today :-/
750 It has only been used when the system didn't implement strlcpy by itself,
751 not on "modern" systems. Florian Westphal, <westphal@foo.fh-furtwangen.de>.
753 ngIRCd 0.8.1 (2004-12-25)
755 - Autoconf: Updated config.guess and config.sub
756 - Added some more debug code ...
757 - Fixed wrong variable names in output of "ngircd --configtest".
758 - Debian: Fixed the name of the "default file" in the init script for
759 ngircd-full packages. And do the test if the binary is executable after
761 - Enhanced the "test suite": please have a look at src/testsuite/README!
763 ngIRCd 0.8.0 (2004-06-26)
765 - Fixed wrong buffer size calculation for results of the resolver.
767 ngircd 0.8.0-pre2 (2004-05-16)
768 - Enhanced logging to console when running in "no-detached mode": added
769 PID and log messages of resolver sub-processes.
770 - Fixed host name lookups when using IDENT user lookups.
771 - "make clean" and "make maintainer-clean" remove more files now.
773 ngIRCd 0.8.0-pre1 (2004-05-07)
774 - Two new configuration options: "ChrootDir" and "MotdPhrase", thanks to
775 Benjamin Pineau <ben@zouh.org>. Now you can force the daemon to change
776 its root and working directory to something "safe". MotdPhrase is used
777 to define an "MOTD string" instead of a whole file, useful if the
778 "real" MOTD file would be outside the "jail".
779 - INVITE- and BAN-lists become synchronized between IRC+ servers when
780 establishing new connections, if the peer supports this as well.
781 - Reorganized autogen.sh and configure scripts.
782 - Fixed a wrong assert() which could cause the daemon to exit spuriously
783 when closing down connections.
784 - Better logging of decompression errors returned by zlib.
785 - Servers other than the destination server didn't clean up the invite
786 list of an "invite-only" channel properly when an INVITE'd user joined.
787 - Changed the reply of the MODE command to match the syntax of the
788 original ircd exactly: the unnecessary but missing ":" before the last
789 parameter has been added.
790 - Fixed TRACE: don't output "Serv" lines for ourself; display more info.
791 - Results of the resolver (hostnames and IDENT names) are discarded after
792 the client is successfully registered with the server.
793 - Better logging while establishing and shutting down connections.
794 - The type of service (TOS) of all sockets is set to "interactive" now.
795 - Added short command line option "-t" as alternative to "--configtest".
796 - Added optional support for "IDENT" lookups on incoming connections. You
797 have to enable this function with the ./configure switch "--with-ident".
798 The default is not to do IDENT lookups.
800 ngIRCd 0.7.7 (2004-02-05)
802 - The info text ("real name") of users is set to "-" if none has been
803 specified using the USER command (e. g. "USER user * * :"). Reason:
804 the original ircd doesn't like empty ones and would KILL such users.
805 - Fixed (optional) TCP Wrapper test which was broken and could result in
806 false results. Thanks to Fuminori Tanizaki <tany@mcnet.ad.jp>!
807 - Removed "USE_" prefixes of configuration #defines.
809 ngIRCd 0.7.6 (2003-12-05)
811 - Fixed abort() ("server crash") when INVITE'ing users to nonexistent
812 channels. Bug found by <hiddenx@wp.pl>.
813 - Extended version numbering of CVS versions (added date).
814 - Enhanced/fixed doc/Protocol.txt;
816 ngIRCd 0.7.5 (2003-11-07)
818 - Fixed ban behavior: users which are banned from a channel can't no
819 longer send PRIVMSG's to this channel (fixes Bug #47).
820 - Fixed and enhanced the "penalty handling" of the server: commands that
821 require more resources block the client for a short time.
822 - Changed the internal time resolution to one second.
823 - New configuration variable "MaxConnectionsIP" to limit the number of
824 simultaneous connections from a single IP that the server will accept.
825 This configuration options lowers the risk of denial of service attacks
826 (DoS), the default is 5 connections per client IP.
827 - Fixed build problems under Mac OS X 10.3.
828 - Use "-pipe" when compiling with gcc, speeds things up a little :-)
829 - Added new configuration variable "Listen" to bind all listening
830 sockets of the server to a single IP address.
831 - Suppress misleading error message of diff during make run.
832 - Enhanced test-suite and made it work on GNU/Hurd.
833 - Fixed minor typo in debug output :-)
835 ngIRCd 0.7.1 (2003-07-18)
837 - Included files to build Debian packages (located in "debian/").
838 - Updated config.guess and config.sub to newer upstream versions.
839 - NJOIN propagates user channel modes correctly again ... Upsa.
840 - Made Makefile more compatible with "make -j<n>".
841 - Added support for GNU/Hurd.
842 - Fixed a compiler warning related to an unnecessary assert().
843 - Enhanced VERSION command when using debug versions.
845 ngIRCd 0.7.0 (2003-05-01)
847 - "ServerName" is checked better now: a dot (".") is required.
848 - The KILL command verifies and logs more parameters.
850 ngIRCd 0.7.0-pre2 (2003-04-27)
851 - CVS build system fixes (made autogen.sh more portable).
852 - Fixed compilation and test-suite on Solaris (tested with 2.6).
853 - New documentation file "doc/Platforms.txt" describing the status of
854 ngIRCd on the various tested platforms.
855 - Test for broken GCC on Mac OS X and disable "-pedantic" in this case.
856 - Disable "-ansi" on Cygwin: system headers are incompatible.
857 - The server tried to connect to other servers only once when DNS or
858 socket failures occurred.
859 - Fixed --configtest: There is no variable "ServerPwd", it's "Password".
861 ngIRCd 0.7.0-pre1 (2003-04-22)
862 - New signal handler (more secure, actions are executed outside).
863 - GCC: the compiler is now called with more warning options enabled.
864 - Replaced a lot of str[n]cpy(), str[n]cat() and sprintf() calls with the
865 more secure functions strlcpy(), strlcat() and snprintf(). On systems
866 that don't support strlcpy() and strlcat(), these functions are included
867 in the libngportab now (with prototypes in portab.h).
868 - If the server can't close a socket, it panics now. This is an error that
869 can't occur during normal operation so there is something broken.
870 - The order of log messages during disconnects is more "natural" now ;-)
871 - Cleaned up handling of server configuration structures: modifying and
872 removing servers during runtime works more reliable now.
873 - Compression code from "conn.[ch]" is now found in new "conn-zip.[ch]"
874 - Moved some connection functions from "conn.[ch]" to "conn-func.[ch]".
875 - New command CONNECT to enable and add server links. The syntax is not
876 RFC-compatible: use "CONNECT <name> <port>" to enable and connect an
877 configured server and "CONNECT <name> <port> <host> <mypwd> <peerpwd>"
878 to add a new server (ngIRCd tries to connect new servers only once!).
879 - Added DISCONNECT command ("DISCONNECT <name>") to disable servers.
880 - Restructured the documentation: Now the main language is English. The
881 german documentation has been removed (until there is a maintainer).
882 - Enhanced killing of users caused by a nickname collision.
883 - Better error detection for status code ("numerics") forwarding.
884 - Moved tool functions to own library: "libngtool".
885 - New command TRACE (you can trace only servers at the moment).
886 - New command HELP that lists all understood commands.
887 - There should no longer remain "unknown connections" (see e.g. LUSERS)
888 if an outgoing server link can't be established.
889 - Added AC_PREREQ(2.50) to configure.in for better autoconf compatibility.
890 - Conn_Close() now handles recursive calls for the same link correctly.
891 - ngIRCd can register itself with Rendezvous: to enable support pass the
892 new switch "--with-rendezvous" to configure.
893 - Added support for TCP Wrappers library: pass "--with-tcp-wrappers" to
894 configure to enable it.
895 - Changed some configure options to use "--with"/"--without" as prefix
896 instead of "--enable"/"--disable": "--without-syslog", "--without-zlib",
897 "--with-tcp-wrappers", and "--with-rendezvous".
898 - Better error reporting to clients on connect.
899 - Enhanced manual pages ngircd(8) and ngircd.conf(5).
900 - Documentation is now installed in $(datadir)/doc/ngircd.
901 - Enhanced handling of NJOIN in case of nick collisions.
903 ngIRCd 0.6.1, 2003-01-21
905 - Fixed KILL: you can't crash the server by killing yourself any more,
906 ngIRCd no longer sends a QUIT to other servers after the KILL, and you
907 can kill only valid users now.
908 - The server no longer forwards commands to ordinary users, instead it
909 answers with the correct error message ("no such server") now.
910 - WHOIS commands weren't always forwarded as requested.
911 - The server sets a correct default AWAY message now when propagating
912 between servers (bug introduced in 0.6.0).
913 - Fixed up and enhanced CHANINFO command: channel keys and user limits
914 are synchronized between servers now, too.
915 - MODE returns the key and user limit for channel members correctly now.
916 - Non-members of a channel could crash the server when trying to change
917 its modes or modes of its members.
918 - The server didn't validate weather a target user is a valid channel
919 member when changing his channel user modes which could crash ngIRCd.
922 Older changes (sorry, only available in german language):
924 ngIRCd 0.6.0, 2002-12-24
926 ngIRCd 0.6.0-pre2, 2002-12-23
927 - neuer Numeric 005 ("Features") beim Connect.
928 - LUSERS erweitert: nun wird die maximale Anzahl der lokalen und globalen
929 Clients, die dem Server bzw. im Netzwerk seit dem letzten (Re-)Start
930 dem Server gleichzeitig bekannt waren, angezeigt.
932 ngIRCd 0.6.0-pre1, 2002-12-18
933 - beim Schliessen einer Verbindung zeigt der Server nun vor dem ERROR
934 noch eine Statistik ueber die empfangene und gesendete Datenmenge an.
935 - der Server wartet bei einer eingehenden Verbindung nun laenger auf den
936 Resolver (4 Sekunden), wenn das Ergebnis eintrifft setzt er aber den
937 Login sofort fort (bisher wurde immer mind. 1 Sekunde gewartet).
938 - Connection-Strukturen werden nun "pool-weise" verwaltet; der Pool wird
939 bei Bedarf bis zu einem konfigurierten Limit vergroessert.
940 - Mit der neuen Konfigurationsvariable "MaxConnections" (Sektion "Global")
941 kann die maximale Anzahl gleichzeitiger Verbindungen begrenzt werden.
942 Der Default ist -1, "unlimitiert".
943 - der Server erkennt nun, ob bereits eine eingehende Verbindung von einem
944 Peer-Server besteht und versucht dann nicht mehr, selber eine eigene
945 ausgehende Verbindung zu diesem auufzubauen. Dadurch kann nun auf beiden
946 Servern in der Konfiguration ein Port fuer den Connect konfiguriert
947 werden (beide Server versuchen sich dann gegenseitig zu connectieren).
948 - Test-Suite und Dokumentation an A/UX angepasst.
949 - unter HP-UX definiert das configure-Script nun _XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED.
950 - Server identifizieren sich nun mit asynchronen Passwoertern, d.h. das
951 Passwort, welches A an B schickt, kann ein anderes sein als das, welches
952 B als Antwort an A sendet. In der Konfig.-Datei, Abschnitt "Server",
953 wurde "Password" dazu durch "MyPassword" und "PeerPassword" ersetzt.
954 - Der Server kann nun zur Laufzeit die Konfiguration neu einlesen: dies
955 macht er nach dem Befehl REHASH oder wenn ein HUP-Signal empfangen wird.
956 - Channel-Mode "P" ("persistent") kann nur noch von IRC-Operatoren gesetzt
957 werden. Grund: User koennen den Server sonst leicht "Channel-Flooden".
958 - MOTD kann nun an andere Server geforwarded werden.
959 - IRC-Befehl "TIME" implementiert.
960 - Server-Server-Links koennen nun komprimiert werden, dazu wird die zlib
961 (www.zlib.org) benoetigt. Unterstuetzt die Gegenseite die Komprimierung
962 nicht, wird automatisch unkomprimiert kommuniziert. Das Verfahren ist
963 kompatibel mit dem Original-ircd 2.10.3, d.h. beide Server koennen
964 miteinander ueber komprimiert Links kommunizieren.
965 - Handling der Schreibpuffer umgestellt: Server sollte schneller arbeiten.
966 - Prefix-Fehler werden besser protokolliert (mit verursachendem Befehl).
967 - SQUIT wird nicht mehr doppelt an andere Server weitergeleitet.
968 - Der Server versucht nun vor dem Schliessen einer Verbindung Daten, die
969 noch im Schreibpuffer stehen, zu senden.
970 - Source in weiteres Modul "irc-info" aufgespalten.
971 - Konfigurationsvariablen werden besser validiert: Laengen, Zahlen, ...
972 - neuen Befehl STATS begonnen: bisher unterstuetzt wird "l" und "m".
973 - bei ISON und USERHOST fehlte im Ergebnis-String der korrekte Absender.
974 - IRC Operatoren koennen nun mit KILL User toeten. Achtung: ein Grund muss
975 zwingend als zweiter Parameter angegeben werden!
976 - neue Konfigurations-Variable "MaxJoins": Hiermit kann die maximale Zahl
977 der Channels, in denen ein User Mitglied sein kann, begrent werden.
978 - neuer, deutlich flexiblerer Parser fuer den MODE Befehl.
979 - neue Channel-Modes l (User-Limit) und k (Channel-Key) implementiert.
981 ngIRCd 0.5.4, 24.11.2002
983 - Fehler-Handling von connect() gefixed: der Server kann sich nun auch
984 unter A/UX wieder zu anderen verbinden.
985 - in den Konfigurationsvariablen ServerUID und ServerGID kann nun nicht
986 nur die numerische ID, sondern auch der Name des Users bzw. der Gruppe
987 verwendet werden. Beim Start des Daemons wird nun beides angezeigt.
988 - Besseres Logging von Prefix-Fehlern.
989 - angenommene Sockets werden nun korrekt auf "non-blocking" konfiguriert,
990 beim Senden und Empfangen werden Blockierungen besser abgefangen.
991 - RPL_UMODEIS hat Code 221, nicht 211 ... *argl*
992 - select() in Try_Write() hat falschen (keinen!) Timeout verwendet;
993 die "Zeit-Aufloesung" des Servers sind zudem nun 2 Sekunden (TIME_RES).
994 Insgesamt sollte die Reaktionszeit des Server nun besser sein.
996 ngIRCd 0.5.3, 08.11.2002
998 - NOTICE liefert nun wirklich nie mehr einen Fehler, auch dann nicht,
999 wenn der sendende Client noch gar nicht registriert ist.
1000 - ein "schneller Server-Reconnect" wird nur noch dann versucht, wenn die
1001 Verbindung zuvor ordentlich (="lange genug") in Ordnung war; somit also
1002 nicht meht, wenn der Peer-Server gleich beim Connect ein ERROR liefert.
1003 Das vermeidet "Connect-Orgien".
1004 - einige Datentypen aufgeraumt: z.B. sind viele INT32s nun LONGs. Das ist
1005 auf Platformen mit 8-Byte-Integern kompatibler.
1006 - RPL_YOURHOST_MSG ist nun ircII- und RFC-kompatibel ;-)
1007 - Segfault unter hoher Netzaktivitaet behoben: in Conn_Close() wird die
1008 Connection-Struktur nun frueher als "ungueltig" markiert.
1010 ngIRCd 0.5.2, 04.10.2002
1012 - Buffer Overflow in Read_Resolver_Result() behoben.
1013 - Format-String-Bugs, die zum Abbruch des Servers fuehrten, behoben.
1014 - Maximale Laenge eines IRC-Prefix wurde falsch berechnet.
1016 ngIRCd 0.5.1, 03.10.2002
1018 - in RPL_YOURHOST_MSG wurde ein fehlerhafter Versionsstring geliefert.
1019 - Test-Suite: start-server.sh, stop-server.sh und stress-server.sh koennen
1020 nun "manuell" von der Kommandozeile gestartet werden, stress-server.sh
1021 startet per Default nur noch 5 Sessions, eine andere Zahl kann auf der
1022 Kommandozeile uebergeben werden (Syntax: "stress-server.sh <count>").
1023 - In bestimmten Faellen hat der Server versucht auf einen bereits wieder
1024 geschlossenen Socket Daten zu schreiben; das fuehrte zu einem Abbruch des
1025 Servers durch ein assert(). Nun wird geprueft, ob der Socket noch ok ist.
1026 - im "contrib"-Verzeichnis befindet sich nun eine RPM-Spec-Datei, aus den
1027 .tar.gz's koennen nun mit "rpm -ta <archiv>" RPM's erzeugt werden. Danke
1028 an Sean Reifschneider <jafo@tummy.com>!
1029 - Syntax von RPL_MYINFO_MSG korrigiert: liefert nun vier Parameter.
1031 ngIRCd 0.5.0, 20.09.2002
1033 - Dokumentation aktualisiert.
1034 - Fehler bei Validierung von "AdminInfo2" behoben.
1035 - Test der Flags fuer "ps" in der Testsuite verbessert, ist nun zu mehr
1036 Plattformen kompatibler.
1038 ngIRCd 0.5.0-pre2, 17.09.2002
1039 - Fix in IRC_WriteStrServersPrefix() war "badly broken" -- behoben.
1041 ngIRCd 0.5.0-pre1, 16.09.2002
1042 - Manual-Pages ngircd.8 und ngircd.conf.5 begonnen.
1043 - Wird der Netzwerk-Sniffer aktiviert (--sniffer), so schaltet der
1044 ngIRCd nun automatisch in den Debug-Modus.
1045 - auf Systemen, die inet_aton() nicht kennen (wie z.B. A/UX), kann der
1046 ngIRCd nun dennoch auch aktiv Server-Links aufbauen.
1047 - h_errno wird auf Systemen, die das nicht kennen (wie z.B. HP-UX 10.20)
1048 nicht mehr verwendet. Somit compiliert der ngIRCd nun auch dort :-)
1049 - um auf dem Ziel-System nicht vorhandene Funktionen nachzubilden wird nun
1050 die "libngportab" erzeugt; genutzt wird dies bisher fuer vsnprintf().
1051 Nun compiliert der ngIRCd auch unter Solaris 2.5.1.
1052 - "persistente Channels" (Mode 'P') implementiert: diese koennen in der
1053 Konfigurationsdatei definiert werden (Sektion "Channel", vgl. Beispiel-
1054 Konfiguration "sample-ngircd.conf") und bleiben auch dann bestehen,
1055 wenn kein User mehr im Channel ist. Zu Channel-Operatoren werden bisher
1056 nur IRC-Operatoren, die den Channel betreten. Die persistenten Channels
1057 werden durch das Flag "P" gelennzeichnet, welches normal durch Channel-
1058 Op's gesetzt und geloescht werden kann.
1059 - bei "--configtest" werden keine leere Abschnitte mehr ausgegeben.
1060 - Source in weitere Module aufgespalten: lists, irc-op und resolve.
1061 - #include's aufgeraeumt: Header includieren keine anderen mehr.
1062 - KICK implementiert (bisher kann nur ein User aus einem Channel geckicked
1063 werden, Listen, wir im RFC vorgesehen, werden bisher nicht unterstuetzt).
1064 - INVITE, den Channel-Mode "i" sowie Invite-Lists ueber den MODE-Befehl
1065 (setzen, erfragen und loeschen) implementiert.
1066 - Source an ansi2knr fuer pre-ANSI-Compiler angepasst; ansi2knr in Source-
1067 Tree aufgenommen und in Build-System integriert; der ngIRCd compiliert
1068 nun z.B. unter A/UX mit dem nativen Compiler von Apple.
1069 - TOPIC lieferte bei unbekanntem Channel einen falschen Fehlercode.
1070 - LIST versteht nun Wildcards und kann an andere Server geforwarded werden.
1071 - wurde ein KILL fuer nicht-lokale Clients empfangen, so wurden die
1072 Verwaltungs-Strukturen nicht korrekt freigegeben.
1073 - empfangene NJOIN's wurden "zerhackt" an andere Server weitergegeben.
1074 - neue Konfigurationsoption "OperCanUseMode" (Sektion "Global"):
1075 ist sie aktiv, koennen IRC-Operatoren immer Channel-Modes setzen.
1076 - Dokumentation des neuen IRC+-Protokolls begonnen: doc/Protocol.txt
1077 - Protokoll- und Server-ID bei PASS-Befehlen auf neues Format umgestellt;
1078 bei empfangenen PASS-Befehlen werden diese zudem nun auch ausgewertet.
1079 Die unterstuetzten Flags sind in doc/Protocol.txt beschrieben.
1080 - mit dem neuen Befehl CHANINFO synchronisieren Server, die das IRC+-
1081 Protokoll unterstuetzen, Channel-Modes und Topics.
1082 - neue Option "--disable-ircplus" fuer das configure-Script, um das
1083 IRC+-Protokoll abzuschalten (per Default ist es aktiviert).
1084 - Ban-Lists (setzen, erfragen und loeschen) implementiert.
1085 - wird der Server mit "-n"/"--nodaemon" gestartet, so werden keine Mel-
1086 dungen mehr ueber Syslog ausgegeben, sondern nur noch auf der Konsole.
1087 - "Test-Suite" begonnen (in "make check" integriert): Dabei wird ein
1088 speziell konfigurierter Server auf Port 6789 gestartet, mit dem dann
1089 einige Tests durchgefuehrt werden (u.a. "Stress-Test" mit 50 Clients).
1090 - zu lange Operator-Namen in der Konfiguration wurden falsch gekuerzt.
1091 - kleine Anpassung an AIX 3.2.5: nun laeuft der ngIRCd auch dort :-)
1092 - ADMIN-Befehl implementiert. Die Daten hierzu werden in der Konfig-Datei
1093 im [Global]-Abschnitt mit den Variablen "AdminInfo1", "AdminInfo2" und
1094 "AdminEMail" konfiguriert.
1096 ngIRCd 0.4.3, 11.06.2002
1098 - Bei PRIVMSG und NOTICE hat der ngIRCd nicht ueberpruft, ob das Ziel
1099 ueberhaupt ein User ist. War es keiner, so fuehrte dies zu einem
1100 Abbruch des Servers [es wurde assert() aufgerufen].
1102 ngIRCd 0.4.2, 29.04.2002
1104 - LUSERS verzaehlt sich bei eigenen Server-Links nicht mehr.
1105 - QUIT wird nun auch von noch nicht registrierten Clients akzeptiert.
1106 - IRC-Funktion LIST implementiert; bisher werden allerdings noch keine
1107 Wildcards (bis auf "*") unterstuetzt.
1109 ngIRCd 0.4.1, 08.04.2002
1111 - Bei Server-Links wird nicht mehr an Hand der Anzahl der Parameter
1112 eines empfangenen SERVER-Befehls, sondern "intern" erkannt, ob es
1113 sich um eine ein- oder ausgehende Verbindung handelt und somit das
1114 eigene PASS-SERVER-Paar gesendet werden muss oder nicht. Da sich
1115 verschiedene Versionen des Original-ircd's anders verhalten, schlug
1116 die Anmeldung je nach Gehenseite evtl. fehl.
1117 - Bei einem NICK-Befehl eines lokalen Client konnte der Server ab-
1118 stuerzen, da ein Format-String einer Log-Meldung fehlerhaft war.
1120 ngIRCd 0.4.0, 01.04.2002
1122 - IRC-Befehle nochmal auf weitere Source-Dateien aufgespalten.
1123 - WHO implementiert (bisher ohne komplette Unterstuetzung von Masks).
1124 - Der AWAY-Mode wurde nicht ueber mehrere Server-Links weitergegeben.
1125 - stderr wird nun in eine Datei umgelenkt (/tmp/ngircd-<PID>.err).
1126 Laeuft der Server nicht im Debug-Modus, so wird diese bei Programm-
1127 ende geloescht. Sollte der Server abstuerzen, finden sich hier evtl.
1128 zusaetzliche Informationen.
1129 - In Nicknames wird das Zeichen "-" nun als zulaessig erkannt.
1130 - die Beispiel-Konfigurationsdatei (doc/sample-ngircd.conf) wird als
1131 ngircd.conf installiert, wenn noch keine "echte" Konfigurationsdatei
1133 - bei WHO, WHOIS und NAMES wird nun nur noch der Status "Operator" oder
1134 "voiced" geliefert -- nicht mehr beides.
1135 - Server-Gruppen implementiert: es wird immer nur zu einem Server in
1136 einer Gruppe eine Verbindung aufgebaut, klappt es beim ersten Server
1137 nicht, so wird der naechste probiert (Variable "Group" in der Kon-
1138 figurationsdatei, Sektion [Server]).
1139 - IRC_PING() ist, wenn nicht im "strict RFC"-Mode, toleranter und ak-
1140 zeptiert beliebig viele Parameter (z.B. BitchX sendet soetwas).
1141 - die "Portab-Header" werden nicht mehr benoetigt, die System-Erkennung
1142 wird nun ausschliesslich vom configure-Script durchgefuehrt. System-
1143 abhaengige Definitionen finden sich nun unter src/portrab/.
1144 - Clients und Channels werden nicht mehr ueber ihren Namen, sondern
1145 einen Hash-Wert gesucht: sollte deutlich schneller sein.
1146 - neuer Kommandozeilen-Parameter "--configtest": die Konfiguration wird
1147 gelesen und dann die verwendeten Werte angezeigt.
1148 - Client-Mode "s" (Server Notices) implementiert.
1149 - mit dem neuen Kommandozeilen-Parameter "--config"/"-f" kann eine
1150 alternative Konfigurationsdatei angegeben werden.
1151 - nach dem Start kann der ngIRCd, wenn er mit root-Rechten laeuft,
1152 zu einer anderen User-ID und Group-ID wechseln.
1153 - URL der Homepage wird u.a. bei "--version" mit angezeigt.
1155 ngIRCd 0.3.0, 02.03.2002
1157 - bekommt der Server ein HUP-Signal, so startet er neu -- genau so, wie
1158 er auf den IRC-Befehl RESTART reagiert.
1159 - FAQ um Hinweise auf den Bugtracker erweitert.
1160 - neuer Kommandozeilen-Schalter "--passive" (-p): wird er angegeben, so
1161 verbindet sich der ngIRCd nicht mehr automatisch zu anderen Servern.
1162 Zum Debuggen manchmal ganz praktisch :-)
1163 - direkt nach dem Start schreibt der ngIRCd nun die aktiven Kommando-
1164 zeilenschalter in's Logfile (Passive, Debug, Sniffer ...).
1165 - das Signal-Flag SA_RESTART wird nur noch gesetzt, wenn es auf dem
1166 jeweiligen System auch definiert ist.
1167 - bei ausgehenden Verbindungen wird nun der Ziel-Port protokolliert.
1168 - neue Befehle VERSION und KILL implementiert.
1169 - make-Target "check" (und "distcheck") mit Sinn erfuellt :-)
1170 (die Tests sind aber bisher nicht all zu tiefgehend ...)
1171 - Durch einen Ueberlauf konnte die Idle-Time bei WHOIS negativ werden ...
1172 - Anpassungen an A/UX: gehoert nun auch zu den unterstuetzten Platformen.
1173 - WHOIS wird nicht mehr automatisch an den "Original-Server" weiterge-
1174 leitet: war eh nicht RFC-konform und machte mit Clients Probleme.
1175 - an User wird nun immer ein "komplettes" Prefix (mit Host-Mask) ver-
1176 schickt, Server bekommen nach wie vor kurze: das "Original" hat bei
1177 bestimmten Befehlen (PRIVMSG) ansonsten evtl. Probleme ...
1178 - NAMES korrigiert und vollstaendig implementiert.
1179 - SQUIT wird auf jeden Fall geforwarded, zudem besseres Logging.
1180 - Ist ein Nick bei der User-Registrierung bereits belegt, nimmt der
1181 Server nun korrekt weitere NICK-Befehle an und verwendet diese.
1182 - PRIVMSG beachtet nun die Channel-Modes "n" und "m".
1183 - AWAY implementiert. PRIVMSG, MODE, USERHOST und WHOIS angepasst.
1184 - der ngIRCd unterstuetzt nun Channel-Topics (TOPIC-Befehl).
1185 - ausgehende Server-Verbindungen werden nun asynchron connectiert und
1186 blockieren nicht mehr den ganzen Server, wenn die Gegenseite nicht
1187 erreicht werden kann (bis zum Timeout konnten Minuten vergehen!).
1188 - Wert der Konfigurations-Variable "ConnectRetry" wird besser beachtet.
1189 - Channel- und Nicknames werden nun ordentlich validiert.
1191 ngIRCd 0.2.1, 17.02.2002
1193 - NICK korrigiert: es werden nun auch alle "betroffenen" User informiert.
1194 - configure-Script erweitert, u.a. bessere Anpassung an BeOS: dort wird
1195 nun die "libbe" zum ngIRCd gelinkt, somit funktioniert auch syslog.
1196 - Fehlerhafte bzw. noch nicht verstandene Modes werden nun ausfuehrlicher
1197 an den Client geliefert.
1199 ngIRCd 0.2.0, 15.02.2002
1201 - Nicknames und Channel-Namen werden etwas besser auf Gueltigkeit ueber-
1202 prueft; ist aber nach wie vor noch nicht ausreichend.
1203 - NJOINS von Servern wurden nicht an andere Server weitergeleitet.
1204 - Begonnen Channel-Modes und User-Channel-Modes zu implementieren: der
1205 Server versteht an User-Modes o und v, beachtet letzteres allerdings
1206 noch nirgends. Bekannte (aber nicht beachtete!) Channel-Modes sind
1207 bisher a, m, n, p, q, s und t. Diese Modes werden von Usern ange-
1208 nommen, von anderen Servern werden auch unbekannte Modes uebernommen.
1209 - Benutzer von connectierenden Servern wurden nicht in den Channels ange-
1210 kuendigt, es wurden nur die internen Strukturen angepasst.
1211 - Nach dem Connect eines Users werden LUSERS-Informationen angezeigt.
1213 ngIRCd 0.1.0, 29.01.2002
1215 - User-Modes bei User-Registrierungen von andere Servern (NICK-Befehl)
1216 wurden falsch uebernommen. Zudem wurden die Modes falsch gekuerzt.
1217 - Server-Verbindungen werden nun nach dem Start erst nach einer kurzen
1218 Pause aufgebaut (zur Zeit drei Sekunden).
1219 - Hilfetext korrigiert: --help und --version waren vertauscht, die
1220 Option --sniffer wurde gar nicht erwaehnt.
1221 - FAQ.txt in doc/ begonnen.
1222 - der IRC-Sniffer wird nur noch aktiviert, wenn die Option auf der
1223 Kommandozeile angegeben wurde (bei entsprechend compiliertem Server).
1224 - Channels implementiert, bisher jedoch noch ohne Channel-Modes, d.h.
1225 es gibt keine Channel-Ops, kein Topic, kein "topic lock" etc. pp.
1226 Chatten in Channels ist aber natuerlich moeglich ;-)
1227 - neue Befehle fuer Channles: JOIN, PART und NJOIN.
1228 - durch die Channels einige Aenderungen an PRIVMSG, WHOIS, MODE etc.
1229 - neu connectierenden Servern werden nun Channels mit NJOIN angekuendigt.
1230 - Signal-Hander geaendert: die Fehlermeldung "interrupted system call"
1231 sollte so nicht mehr auftreten.
1232 - "spaeter" neu connectierende Server werden nun im Netz angekuendigt.
1233 - SERVER-Meldungen an andere Server sind nun korrekt sortiert.
1234 - Clients werden nun korrekt sowohl nur ueber den Nickname als auch die
1235 komplette "Host Mask" erkannt.
1237 ngIRCd 0.0.3, 16.01.2002
1239 - Server-Links vollstaendig implementiert: der ngIRCd kann nun auch
1240 "Sub-Server" haben, also sowohl als Leaf-Node als auch Hub in einem
1241 IRC-Netzwerk arbeiten.
1242 - MODE und NICK melden nun die Aenderungen an andere Server, ebenso
1243 die Befehle QUIT und SQUIT.
1244 - WHOIS wird nun immer an den "Original-Server" weitergeleitet.
1245 - Parses handhabt Leerzeichen zw. Parametern nun etwas "lockerer".
1246 - Status-Codes an den Server selber werden ignorier.
1247 - Log-Meldungen und Log-Level ueberarbeitet und korrigiert.
1248 - Kommandozeilen-Parser: Debug- und No-Daemon-Modus, Hilfe.
1249 - ngIRCd wandelt sich nun in einen Daemon (Hintergrundprozess) um.
1250 - WHOIS korrigiert: Anfrage wurde u.U. an User geforwarded anstatt vom
1251 Server beantwortet zu werden.
1252 - neue Befehle: LUSERS, LINKS
1253 - Client-Modes von Remote-Servern wurden nicht korrekt uerbernommen.
1255 ngIRCd 0.0.2, 06.01.2002
1257 - Struktur der Konfigurationsdatei geaendert: sie ist nun "Samba like",
1258 d.h. sie besteht aus Abschnitten (siehe "doc/sample-ngircd.conf").
1259 - Es koennen mehrere IRC-Server-Opertatoren konfiguriert werden.
1260 - Zombies der Resolver-Prozesse werden nun ordentlich "getoetet".
1261 - NICK kann nun die Gross- und Kleinschreibung eines Nicks aendern.
1262 - ein Server-Passwort ist nun konfigurierbar.
1263 - neue Befehle: ERROR, SERVER, NJOIN (nur als "Fake"), SQUIT.
1264 - Asynchroner Resolver Hostname->IP implementiert.
1265 - Server-Links teilweise implementiert: bisher kann der ngIRCd jedoch
1266 nur "leafed server" sein, d.h. keine "Client-Server" haben. Einige
1267 Befehle sind auch noch nicht (optimal) angepasst: PRIVMSG funktioniert
1268 aber bereits, ebenso wie WHOIS (letzterer wird immer an den Server,
1269 auf dem der User registriert ist, weitergegeben).
1270 - "arpa/inet.h" wird nur noch includiert, wenn vorhanden.
1271 - Fehler bei select() fuerhen nun zum Abbruch von ngIRCd, bisher landete
1272 der Server zumeist in einer Endlosschleife.
1273 - Logmeldungen und Level an vielen Stellen verbessert.
1274 - lokalen Usernamen wird nun ein "~" vorangestellt, da bisher noch keine
1275 Ident-Anfragen gemacht werden.
1277 ngIRCd 0.0.1, 31.12.2001
1279 - erste oeffentliche Version von ngIRCd als "public preview" :-)
