11 ngIRCd Release 18 (2011-07-10)
13 - Add preliminary ngIRCd protocol module for Anope 1.9 to contrib/Anope/.
15 ngIRCd 18~rc2 (2011-06-29)
16 - GnuTLS: use 1024 bits as minimum size of the DH prime. This enables
17 ngIRCd to accept incoming connections from other servers and clients
18 that "only" use at least 1024 bits again, like ngIRCd 17 did (and no
19 longer requires 2048 bits for incoming connections).
21 ngIRCd 18~rc1 (2011-06-27)
22 - New configuration option "MorePrivacy" to "censor" some user information.
23 When enabled, signon time and idle time is left out. Part and quit
24 messages are made to look the same. WHOWAS requests are silently dropped.
25 All of this is useful if one wish to conceal users that access the ngircd
26 servers from TOR or I2P.
27 - New configuration option "ScrubCTCP" to scrub incoming CTCP commands. If
28 activated, the server silently drops incoming CTCP requests from both
29 other servers and from users. The server that scrubs CTCP will not forward
30 the CTCP requests to other servers in the network either, which can spell
31 trouble if not every oper knows about the CTCP-scrubbing. Scrubbing CTCP
32 commands also means that it is not possible to send files between users.
33 There is one exception to the CTCP scrubbing performed: ACTION ("/me
34 commands") requests are not scrubbed.
35 - Restructure ngIRCd configuration file: introduce new [Limits], [Options],
36 and [SSL] sections. The intention of this restructuring is to make the
37 [Global] section much cleaner, so that it only contains variables that
38 most installations must adjust to the local requirements. All the optional
39 variables are moved to [Limits], for configurable limits and timers of
40 ngIRCd, and [Options], for optional features. All SSL-related variables
41 are moved to [SSL] and the "SSL"-prefix is stripped. The old variables in
42 the [Global] section are deprecated now, but are still recognized.
43 => Don't forget to check your configuration, use "ngircd --configtest"!
44 - New documentation "how to contribute": doc/Contributing.txt.
45 - Avoid needlessly scary 'buffer overflow' messages: When the write buffer
46 space grows too large, ngIRCd has to disconnect the client to avoid
47 wasting too much memory, which is logged with a scary 'write buffer
48 overflow' message. Change this to a more descriptive wording.
49 - New configuration option "RequireAuthPing": PING-PONG on login. When
50 enabled, this configuration option lets ngIRCd send a PING with an numeric
51 "token" to clients logging in; and it will not become registered in the
52 network until the client responds with the correct PONG.
53 - New configuration option "NoticeAuth": send NOTICE AUTH on connect. When
54 active, ngircd will send "NOTICE AUTH" messages on client connect time
55 like e.g. snircd (QuakeNet) does.
56 - Add support for up to 3 targets in WHOIS queries, also allow up to one
57 wildcard query from local hosts. Follows ircd 2.10 implementation rather
58 than RFC 2812. At most 10 entries are returned per wildcard expansion.
59 - ngircd.conf(5) manual page: describe types of configuration variables
60 (booleans, text strings, integer numbers) and add type information to each
62 - Terminate incoming connections on HTTP commands "GET" and "POST".
63 - New configuration option "CloakHost": when set, this hostname is used for
64 every client instead of the real DNS hostname (or IP address).
65 - New configuration option "CloakUserToNick": when enabled, ngIRCd sets
66 every clients' user name to their nick name and hides the user name
67 supplied by the IRC client.
68 - Make write buffers bigger, but flush early. Before this change, a client
69 got disconnected if the buffer flushing at 4k failed, now regular clients
70 can store up to 32k and servers up 64k even if flushing is not possible at
71 the moment. This enhances reliability on slow links.
72 - Allow "Port = 0" in [Server] blocks. Port number 0 marks remote servers
73 that try to connect to this daemon, but where this daemon never tries to
74 establish a connection on its own: only incoming connections are allowed.
75 - Enable WHOIS command to return information about services.
76 - Implement channel mode 'O': "IRC operators only". This channel mode is
77 used on DALnet (bahamut), for example.
78 - Remove support for ZeroConf/Bonjour/Rendezvous service registration
79 including the "[No]ZeroConf" configuration option.
80 - Deprecate NoXX-Options in ngircd.conf and move new variants into our new
81 [Options] section: 'NoDNS=no' => 'DNS=yes', 'NoIdent=no' => 'Ident=yes',
82 'NoPAM=no' => 'PAM=yes', and 'NoZeroConf=no' => 'ZeroConf=yes' (and
83 vice-versa). The defaults are adjusted accordingly and the old variables
84 in [Global] are still accepted, so there is no functional change.
86 ngIRCd Release 17.1 (2010-12-19)
88 - Don't log critical (or worse) messages to stderr
89 - Remove "error file" when compiled with debug code enabled
90 - New numeric 329: get channel creation time on "MODE #chan" commands
92 ngIRCd Release 17 (2010-11-07)
94 - doc: change path names in sample-ngircd.conf depending on sysconfdir
96 ngIRCd 17~rc2 (2010-10-25)
97 - Generate ngIRCd version number from GIT tag.
98 - Make sourcecode compatible with ansi2knr again. This allows to compile
99 ngIRCd using a pre-ANSI K&R C compiler again.
101 ngIRCd 17~rc1 (2010-10-11)
102 - New configuration option "NoZeroConf" to disable service registration at
103 runtime even if ngIRCd is compiled with support for ZeroConf (e.g. using
104 Howl, Avahi or on Mac OS X).
105 - New configuration option "SyslogFacility" to define the syslog "facility"
106 (the "target"), to which ngIRCd should send its log messages.
107 Possible values are system dependant, but most probably "auth", "daemon",
108 "user" and "local1" through "local7" are possible values; see syslog(3).
109 Default is "local5" for historical reasons.
110 - Dump the "internal server state" (configured servers, established
111 connections and known clients) to the console or syslog when receiving
112 the SIGUSR2 signal and debug mode is enabled.
113 - Enable the daemon to disable and enable "debug mode" on runtime using
114 signal SIGUSR1, when debug code is compiled in, not only on startup
115 using the command line parameters.
116 - Implement user mode "x": hostname cloaking (closes: #102).
117 - Change MOTD file handling: ngIRCd now caches the contens of the MOTD
118 file, so the daemon now requires a HUP signal or REHASH command to
119 re-read the MOTD file when its content changed.
120 - Allow IRC ops to change channel modes even without OperServerMode set.
121 - Allow IRC operators to use MODE command on any channel (closes: #100).
122 - New configuration option "NoPAM" to disable PAM.
123 - Implement asynchronous user authentication using PAM, please see the
124 file doc/PAM.txt for details.
125 - Add some documentation for using BOPM with ngIRCd, see doc/Bopm.txt.
126 - Implement user mode "c": receive connect/disconnect NOTICEs. Note that
127 this new mode requires the user to be an IRC operator.
128 - Show SSL status in WHOIS output, numeric 275.
130 ngIRCd Release 16 (2010-05-02)
132 ngIRCd 16~rc2 (2010-04-25)
133 - Enhace connection statistics counters: display total number of served
134 connections on daemon shutdown and when a new client connects using
135 the new numeric RPL_STATSCONN (250).
137 ngIRCd 16~rc1 (2010-03-25)
138 - Implement WEBIRC command used by some Web-IRC frontends. The password
139 required to secure this command must be configured using the new
140 "WebircPassword" variable in the ngircd.conf file.
141 - Remove limit on max number of configured irc operators.
142 - A new channel mode "secure connections only" (+z) has been implemented:
143 Only clients using a SSL encrypted connection to the server are allowed
144 to join such a channel.
145 But please note three things: a) already joined clients are not checked
146 when setting this mode, b) IRC operators are always allowed to join
147 every channel, and c) remote clients using a server not supporting this
148 mode are not checked either and therefore always allowed to join.
150 ngIRCd Release 15 (2009-11-07)
152 ngIRCd 15~rc1 (2009-10-15)
153 - Do not add default listening port (6667) if SSL ports were specified, so
154 ngIRCd can be configured to only accept SSL-encrypted connections now.
155 - Enable IRC operators to use the IRC command SQUIT (insted of the already
156 implemented but non-standard DISCONNECT command).
157 - New configuration option "AllowRemoteOper" (disabled by default) that
158 enables remote IRC operators to use the IRC commands SQUIT and CONNECT
160 - Enforce upper limit on maximum number of handled commands. This implements
161 a throttling scheme: an IRC client can send up to 3 commands or 256 bytes
162 per second before a one second pause is enforced.
164 ngIRCd Release 14.1 (2009-05-05)
166 - Security: fix remotely triggerable crash in SSL/TLS code.
167 - Debian: build ngircd-full-dbg package.
168 - Allow ping timeout quit messages to show the timeout value.
170 ngIRCd Release 14 (2009-04-20)
172 ngIRCd 14~rc1 (2009-03-29)
173 - Allow creation of persistent modeless channels.
174 - The INFO command reports the compile time now (if available).
175 - Support individual channel keys for pre-defined channels: introduce
176 new configuration variable "KeyFile" in [Channel] sections in ngircd.conf,
177 here a file can be configured for each pre-defined channel which contains
178 individual channel keys for different users.
179 - Remove limit on maximum number of predefined channels in ngircd.conf.
181 ngIRCd Release 13 (2008-12-25)
183 ngIRCd 13~rc1 (2008-11-21):
184 - New version number scheme :-)
185 - Initial support for IRC services, using a RFC1459 style interface,
186 tested with IRCServices (http://www.ircservices.za.net/) version 5.1.13.
187 For this to work, ngIRCd now supports server-server links conforming
188 to RFC 1459. New ngircd.conf(5) option: ServiceMask.
189 - Support for SSL-encrypted server-server and client-server links using
190 OpenSSL (configure: --with-openssl) or GNUTLS (configure: --with-gnutls).
191 New ngircd.conf(5) options: SSLPorts, SSLKeyFile, SSLKeyFilePassword,
192 SSLCertFile, SSLDHFile, and SSLConnect.
193 - Server local channels have been implemented, prefix "&", that are only
194 visible to users of the same server and are not visible in the network.
195 In addition ngIRCd creates a "special" channel &SERVER on startup and logs
196 all the messages to it that a user with mode +s receives.
197 - New make target "osxpkg" to build a Mac OS X installer package.
198 - New configuration option "NoIdent" to disable IDENT lookups even if the
199 daemon is compiled with IDENT support.
201 ngIRCd 0.12.1 (2008-07-09)
203 - Add option aliases -V (for --version) and -h (for --help).
204 - Make Listen parameter a comma-separated list of addresses. This also
205 obsoletes ListenIPv4 and ListenIPv6 options. If Listen is unset, it
206 is treated as Listen="::,0.0.0.0".
207 Note: ListenIPv4 and ListenIPv6 options are still recognized,
208 but ngircd will print a warning if they are used in the config file.
210 ngIRCd 0.12.0 (2008-05-13)
212 ngIRCd 0.12.0-pre2 (2008-04-29)
213 - IPv6: Add config options to disable ipv4/ipv6 support.
215 ngIRCd 0.12.0-pre1 (2008-04-20)
217 - Install a LaunchDaemon script to start/stop ngIRCd on Mac OS X.
218 - Implemented IRC commands INFO, SUMMON (dummy), and USERS (dummy) and
219 enhanced test suite to check these commands. (Dana Dahlstrom)
220 - IRC_WHO now supports search patterns and will test this against user
221 nickname/servername/hostname, etc. as required by RFC 2812, Section 3.6.1.
222 (reported by Dana Dahlstrom)
223 - Implement RFC 2812 handling of "0" argument to 'JOIN': must be treated
224 as if the user had sent PART commands for all channels the user is a
225 member of. (Dana Dahlstrom)
226 - Allow NOTICEs to be sent to a channel. (Fabian Schlager)
228 ngIRCd 0.11.0 (2008-01-15)
230 - Add support for /STAT u (server uptime) command.
231 - New [Server] configuration Option "Bind" allows to specify
232 the source IP address to use when connecting to remote server.
233 - New configuration option "MaxNickLength" to specify the allowed maximum
234 length of user nick names. Note: must be unique in an IRC network!
235 - Numeric 317: implemented "signon time" (displayed in WHOIS result).
236 - Added new server configuration option "Passive" for "Server" blocks to
237 disable automatic outgoing connections (similar to -p option to ngircd,
238 but only for the specified server). (Tassilo Schweyer)
239 - Added support for the WALLOPS command. Usage is restricted to IRC
242 ngIRCd 0.10.2 (2007-06-08)
244 - Predefined channel configuration now allows specification of channel key
245 (mode k) and maximum user count (mode l): variables "Key" and "MaxUsers".
246 - When using the epoll() IO interface, compile in the select() interface as
247 well and fall back to it when epoll() isn't available on runtime.
248 - Added support for IO APIs "poll()" and "/dev/poll".
250 ngIRCd 0.10.1 (2006-12-17)
252 - Allow PASS syntax defined in RFC 1459 for server links, too.
253 - New configuration option "PredefChannelsOnly": if set, clients can only
254 join predefined channels.
256 ngIRCd 0.10.0 (2006-10-01)
258 ngIRCd 0.10.0-pre1 (2006-08-02)
259 - Enhanced DIE to accept a single parameter ("comment text") which is sent
260 to all locally connected clients before the server goes down.
261 - JOIN now supports more than one channel key at a time.
262 - Implemented numeric "333": Time and user name who set a channel topic.
263 - Channel topics are no longer limited to 127 characters: now the only limit
264 is the maximum length of an IRC command, i. e. 512 bytes (in practice, this
265 limits the topic to about 490 characters due to protocol overhead).
266 - Reverse DNS lookup code now checks the result by doing an additional
267 lookup to prevent spoofing.
268 - Added new IO layer which (optionally) supports epoll() and kqueue() in
269 addition to the select() interface.
271 ngIRCd 0.9.0 (2005-07-24)
273 - Never run with root privileges but always switch the user ID.
274 - Make "netsplit" messages RFC compliant.
275 - Implemented the IRC function "WHOWAS".
276 - New configuration option "OperServerMode" to enable a workaround needed
277 when running an network with ircd2 servers and "OperCanUseMode" enabled
278 to prevent the ircd2 daemon to drop mode changes of IRC operators.
279 Patch by Florian Westphal, <westphal@foo.fh-furtwangen.de>.
280 - Implemented support for "secret channels" (channel mode "s").
281 - New configuration option "Mask" for [Operator] sections to limit OPER
282 commands to users with a specific IRC mask. Patch from Florian Westphal.
283 - New configuration variable "PidFile", section "[Global]": if defined,
284 the server writes its process ID (PID) to this file. Default: off.
285 Idea of Florian Westphal, <westphal@foo.fh-furtwangen.de>.
286 - Added support for the Howl (http://www.porchdogsoft.com/products/howl/)
287 Rendezvous API, in addition to the API of Apple (Mac OS X). The available
288 API will be autodetected when you call "./configure --with-rendezvous".
290 ngIRCd 0.8.0 (2004-06-26)
292 - Two new configuration options: "ChrootDir" and "MotdPhrase", thanks to
293 Benjamin Pineau <ben@zouh.org>. Now you can force the daemon to change
294 its root and working directory to something "safe". MotdPhrase is used
295 to define an "MOTD string" instead of a whole file, useful if the
296 "real" MOTD file would be outside the "jail".
297 - INVITE- and BAN-lists become synchronized between IRC+ servers when
298 establishing new connections, if the peer supports this as well.
299 - The type of service (TOS) of all sockets is set to "interactive" now.
300 - Added short command line option "-t" as alternative to "--configtest".
301 - Added optional support for "IDENT" lookups on incoming connections. You
302 have to enable this function with the ./configure switch "--with-ident".
303 The default is not to do IDENT lookups.
305 ngIRCd 0.7.5 (2003-07-11)
307 - New configuration variable "MaxConnectionsIP" to limit the number of
308 simultaneous connections from a single IP that the server will accept.
309 This configuration options lowers the risk of denial of service attacks
310 (DoS), the default is 5 connections per client IP.
311 - Added new configuration variable "Listen" to bind all listening
312 sockets of the server to a single IP address.
314 ngIRCd 0.7.1 (2003-07-18)
316 - Added support for GNU/Hurd.
318 ngIRCd 0.7.0 (2003-05-01)
320 - New command CONNECT to enable and add server links. The syntax is not
321 RFC-compatible: use "CONNECT <name> <port>" to enable and connect an
322 configured server and "CONNECT <name> <port> <host> <mypwd> <peerpwd>"
323 to add a new server (ngIRCd tries to connect new servers only once!).
324 - Added DISCONNECT command ("DISCONNECT <name>") to disable servers.
325 - New command TRACE (you can trace only servers at the moment).
326 - New command HELP that lists all understood commands.
327 - ngIRCd can register itself with Rendezvous: to enable support pass the
328 new switch "--with-rendezvous" to configure.
329 - Added support for TCP Wrappers library: pass "--with-tcp-wrappers" to
330 configure to enable it.
331 - Changed some configure options to use "--with"/"--without" as prefix
332 instead of "--enable"/"--disable": "--without-syslog", "--without-zlib",
333 "--with-tcp-wrappers", and "--with-rendezvous".
334 - Enhanced manual pages ngircd(8) and ngircd.conf(5).
335 - Documentation is now installed in $(datadir)/doc/ngircd.
338 Older news (sorry, only available in german language):
340 ngIRCd 0.6.0, 2002-12-24
342 - beim Schliessen einer Verbindung zeigt der Server nun vor dem ERROR
343 noch eine Statistik ueber die empfangene und gesendete Datenmenge an.
344 - Connection-Strukturen werden nun "pool-weise" verwaltet; der Pool wird
345 bei Bedarf bis zu einem konfigurierten Limit vergroessert.
346 - Mit der neuen Konfigurationsvariable "MaxConnections" (Sekion "Global")
347 kann die maximale Anzahl gleichzeitiger Verbindungen begrenzt werden.
348 Der Default ist -1, "unlimitiert".
349 - der Server erkennt nun, ob bereits eine eingehende Verbindung von einem
350 Peer-Server besteht und versucht dann nicht mehr, selber eine eigene
351 ausgehende Verbindung zu diesem auufzubauen. Dadurch kann nun auf beiden
352 Servern in der Konfiguration ein Port fuer den Connect konfiguriert
353 werden (beide Server versuchen sich dann gegenseitig zu connectieren).
354 - Server identifizieren sich nun mit asyncronen Passwoertern, d.h. das
355 Passwort, welches A an B schickt, kann ein anderes sein als das, welches
356 B als Antwort an A sendet. In der Konfig.-Datei, Abschnitt "Server",
357 wurde "Password" dazu durch "MyPassword" und "PeerPassword" ersetzt.
358 - Der Server kann nun zur Laufzeit die Konfiguration neu einlesen: dies
359 macht er nach dem Befehl REHASH oder wenn ein HUP-Signal empfangen wird.
360 - Server-Server-Links koennen nun komprimiert werden, dazu wird die zlib
361 (www.zlib.org) benoetigt. Unterstuetzt die Gegenseite die Komprimierung
362 nicht, wird automatisch unkomprimiert kommuniziert. Das Verfahren ist
363 kompatibel mit dem Original-ircd 2.10.3, d.h. beide Server koennen
364 miteinander ueber komprimiert Links kommunizieren.
365 - neue Konfigurations-Variable "MaxJoins": Hiermit kann die maximale Zahl
366 der Channels, in denen ein User Mitglied sein kann, begrent werden.
367 - neue Channel-Modes l (User-Limit) und k (Channel-Key) implementiert.
369 ngIRCd 0.5.0, 20.09.2002
371 - AIX (3.2.5), HP-UX (10.20), IRIX (6.5), NetBSD (1.5.3/m68k) und Solaris
372 (2.5.1, 2.6) gehoeren nun auch zu den unterstuetzten Platformen.
373 - Unter A/UX (und evtl. weiteren Systemen) kompiliert der ngIRCd nun mit
374 dem "nativen" (ggf. pre-ANSI) Compiler.
375 - "persistente Channels" (Mode 'P') implementiert: diese koennen in der
376 Konfigurationsdatei definiert werden (Sektion "Channel", vgl. Beispiel-
377 Konfiguration "sample-ngircd.conf") und bleiben auch dann bestehen,
378 wenn kein User mehr im Channel ist.
379 - neue IRC-Befehle: KICK, INVITE, ADMIN, CHANINFO; LIST wurde erweitert.
380 Mit dem neuen Befehl CHANINFO syncronisieren Server, die das IRC+-
381 Protokoll unterstuetzen, Channel-Modes und Topics. Fuer den ADMIN-Befehl
382 gibt es neue Konfigurationsoptionen (Sektion "Global"): "AdminInfo1",
383 "AdminInfo2" und "AdminEMail".
384 - Invite- und Ban-Lists implementiert.
385 - neue Konfigurationsoption "OperCanUseMode" (Sektion "Global"):
386 ist sie aktiv, koennen IRC-Operatoren immer Channel-Modes setzen.
387 - "Test-Suite" begonnen: mit "make check" wird sie durchlaufen.
389 ngIRCd 0.4.2, 29.04.2002
391 - IRC-Funktion LIST implementiert; bisher werden allerdings noch keine
392 Regular Expressions (bis auf "*") unterstuetzt.
394 ngIRCd 0.4.0, 01.04.2002
396 - WHO implementiert (bisher ohne komplette Unterstuetzung von Masks).
397 - stderr wird nun in eine Datei umgelenkt (/ngircd-<PID>.err).
398 Laeuft der Server nicht im Debug-Modus, so wird diese bei Programm-
399 ende geloescht. Sollte der Server abstuerzen, finden sich hier evtl.
400 zusaetzliche Informationen.
401 - Server-Gruppen implementiert: es wird immer nur zu einem Server in
402 einer Gruppe eine Verbindung aufgebaut, klappt es beim ersten Server
403 nicht, so wird der naechste probiert.
404 - Clients und Channels werden nicht mehr ueber ihren Namen, sondern
405 einen Hash-Wert gesucht: sollte deutlich schneller sein.
406 - neuer Kommandozeilen-Parameter "--configtest": die Konfiguration wird
407 gelesen und die dann verwendeten Werte angezeigt.
408 - Client-Mode "s" (Server Notices) implementiert.
409 - mit dem neuen Kommandozeilen-Parameter "--config"/"-f" kann eine
410 alternative Konfigurationsdatei angegeben werden.
411 - nach dem Start kann der ngIRCd, wenn er mit root-Rechten laeuft,
412 zu einer anderen User-ID und Group-ID wechseln.
414 ngIRCd 0.3.0, 02.03.2002
416 - bekommt der Server ein HUP-Signal, so startet er neu -- genau so, wie
417 er auf den IRC-Befehl RESTART reagiert.
418 - neuer Kommandozeilen-Schalter "--passive" (-p): wird er angegeben, so
419 verbindet sich der ngIRCd nicht mehr automatisch zu anderen Servern.
420 Zum Debuggen manchmal ganz praktisch :-)
421 - neue Befehle VERSION und KILL implementiert. NAMES korrigiert.
422 - Anpassungen an A/UX: gehoert nun auch zu den unterstuetzten Platformen.
423 - AWAY (und der User-Mode 'a') ist nun implementiert.
424 - der ngIRCd unterstuetzt nun Channel-Topics (TOPIC-Befehl).
425 - Channel- und Nicknames werden nun ordentlich validiert.
427 ngIRCd 0.2.0, 15.02.2002
429 - Begonnen Channel-Modes und User-Channel-Modes zu implementieren: der
430 Server versteht an User-Modes o und v, beachtet letzteres allerdings
431 noch nirgends. Bekannte (aber nicht beachtete!) Channel-Modes sind
432 bisher a, m, n, p, q, s und t. Diese Modes werden von Usern ange-
433 nommen, von anderen Servern werden auch unbekannte Modes uebernommen.
434 - Nach dem Connect eines Users werden LUSERS-Informationen angezeigt.
436 ngIRCd 0.1.0, 29.01.2002
438 - Channels implementiert, bisher jedoch noch ohne Channel-Modes, d.h.
439 es gibt keine Channel-Ops, kein Topic, kein "topic lock" etc. pp.
440 Chatten in Channels ist aber natuerlich moeglich ;-)
441 Dadurch zum Teil groessere Aenderungen an bisherigen Funktionen.
442 - neue Befehle fuer Channles: JOIN, PART und NJOIN.
443 - FAQ.txt in doc/ begonnen.
445 ngIRCd 0.0.3, 16.01.2002
447 - Server-Links vollstaendig implementiert: der ngIRCd kann nun auch
