+ngIRCd Release 15 (2009-11-07)
+
+ - "ngircd --configtest": print SSL configuration options even when unset.
+
+ ngIRCd 15~rc1 (2009-10-15)
+ - Do not add default listening port (6667) if SSL ports were specified, so
+ ngIRCd can be configured to only accept SSL-encrypted connections now.
+ - Enable IRC operators to use the IRC command SQUIT (insted of the already
+ implemented but non-standard DISCONNECT command).
+ - New configuration option "AllowRemoteOper" (disabled by default) that
+ enables remote IRC operators to use the IRC commands SQUIT and CONNECT
+ on the local server.
+ - Mac OS X: fix test for packagemaker(1) tool in Makefile and use gcc 4.0
+ for Mac OS X 10.4 compatibility in the Xcode project file.
+ - Fix --with-{openssl|gnutls} to accept path names.
+ - Fix LSB header of Debian init script.
+ - Updated doc/Platforms.txt and include new script contrib/platformtest.sh
+ to ease generating platform reports.
+ - Fix connection information for already registered connections.
+ - Enforce upper limit on maximum number of handled commands. This implements
+ a throttling scheme: an IRC client can send up to 3 commands or 256 bytes
+ per second before a one second pause is enforced.
+ - Fix connection counter.
+ - Fix a few error handling glitches for SSL/TLS connections.
+ - Minor fixes to manual pages and documentation.
+

-(1) i686/pc/linux-gnu:
+(1) i686/pc/linux-gnu & x86_64/unknown/linux-gnu:
ngIRCd has been tested with various Linux distributions, such as SuSE,
RedHat, Debian, and Gentoo using Kernels 2.2.x, 2.4.x and 2.6.x with
various versions of the GNU C compiler (starting with 2.95.x and up to
version 4.3.x). The eldest glibc used was glibc-2.0.7. ngIRCd compiled
and run on all these systems without problems.
- Actual Linux kernels (2.6.x) and glic's support the epoll() IO interface.
+ Actual Linux kernels (2.6.x) and glibc's support the epoll() IO interface.
(2) This compiler is an pre-ANSI C compiler, therefore the source code is
automatically converted using the included ansi2knr tool while building.
