13 - Only send TOPIC updates to a channel when the topic actually changed:
14 This prevents the channel from becoming flooded by unecessary TOPIC update
15 messages, that can happen when IRC services try to enforce a certain topic
16 but which is already set (at least on the local server), for example.
17 Therefore still forward it to all servers, but don't inform local clients
18 (still update setter and timestamp information, though!).
19 - Update Xcode project for latest Xcode version (9.2). This includes adding
20 missing and deleting obsolete file references.
21 - Handle user mode "C" ("Only users that share a channel are allowed to send
22 messages") like user mode "b" ("block private messages and notices"): allow
23 messages from servers, services, and IRC Operators, too. Change proposed by
24 "wowaname" back in 2015 in #ngircd, thanks!
25 - Allow IRC Ops and remote servers to KILL service clients: such clients
26 behave like regular users, therefore IRC operators and servers should be
27 able to KILL them: for example to resolve nick collisions.
30 ngIRCd 24 (2017-01-20)
32 ngIRCd 24~rc1 (2017-01-07)
33 - Log privilege violations and failed OPER request with log level "error"
34 and send it to the "&SERVER" channel, too.
35 - Immediately shut down connection when receiving an "ERROR" command,
36 don't wait for the peer to close the connection. This allows the daemon
37 to forward the received "ERROR" message in the network, instead of the
38 very generic "client closed connection" message.
39 - Explicitly forbid remote servers to modify "x-lines" (G-LINES) when the
40 "AllowRemoteOper" configuration option isn't set, even when the command
41 seems to originate from the remote server itself: this prevents GLINE's
42 to become set during server handshake in this case (what wouldn't be
43 possible during regular runtime when a remote IRC Op sends the command)
44 and what can't be undone by IRC Ops later on (because of the missing
45 "AllowRemoteOper" option) ...
46 - Update Xcode project for latest Xcode version (8.0), and fix "duplicate
47 symbols" error messages when building (linking) the binary.
48 - Add "Documentation" variables to systemd configuration files.
49 - Make sure that SYSCONFDIR is always set, which can be handy when
50 using source code linters when ./configure hasn't been run already.
51 - Add the new "PAMServiceName" configuration option to specify the name
52 used as PAM service name. This setting allows to run multiple ngIRCd
53 instances with different PAM configurations for each instance.
54 Thanks to Christian Aistleitner <christian@quelltextlich.at> for the
56 - Add an ".editorconfig" file to the project.
57 - Limit the number of message target, and suppress duplicates: This
58 prevents an user from flooding the server using commands like this:
59 "PRIVMSG nick1,nick1,nick1,...".
60 Duplicate targets are suppressed silently (channels and clients).
61 In addition, the maximum number of targets per PRIVMSG, NOTICE, ...
62 command are limited to MAX_HNDL_TARGETS (25). If there are more, the
63 daemon sends the new 407 (ERR_TOOMANYTARGETS_MSG) numeric, containing
64 the first target that hasn't been handled any more. Closes #187.
65 - Make contrib/platformtest.sh script more portable, and only show
66 "runs=Y" when the test suite really has been passed successfully.
68 ngIRCd 23 (2015-11-16)
70 ngIRCd 23~rc1 (2015-09-06)
71 - Use "NOTICE *" before registration instead of "NOTICE AUTH". "AUTH" is
72 a valid nickname so sending notices to it is probably not a good idea.
73 Use "*" as the target instead as done with numerics when the nick is not
74 available. This mimics the behavior in Charybdis, IRCD-Hybrid, InspIRCd
75 2.2, Plexus 4, etc. Closes #217.
76 The "NoticeAuth" configuration variable (ngircd.conf) has been renamed
77 to "NoticeBeforeRegistration" accordingly, but the old name is still
78 supported for compatibility reasons.
79 - Implement new channel mode "N" (regular users can't change their nick
80 name while on this channel). Closes #214.
81 - Keep track of who placed bans, invites, and excepts.
82 Idea and implementation by LucentW, Thanks! Closes #203.
83 - Implement numeric RPL_LISTSTART(321). lightIRC and other clients
84 expecting RPL_LISTSTART should now behave correctly.
85 Idea and implementation by LucentW, Thanks! Closes #207.
86 - Streamline the effect of "MorePrivacy" option: Update documentation
87 in ngircd.conf(5); don't hide channels for IRC Ops on LIST and don't
88 hide IP addresses/hostnames on WHOIS when "MorePrivacy" is in effect.
90 - IRC operators now can kick anyone when "OperCanMode" is set.
91 Idea and implementation by LucentW, Thanks! Closes #202.
92 - Implement user mode "I": Hide channels on WHOIS: this mode prevents
93 ngIRCd from showing channels on WHOIS (IRC Operators can always see
95 Idea and implementation by LucentW, Thanks! Closes #197.
96 - INVITE command: Implement ERR_USERNOTONSERV(504) numeric and make sure
97 that the target user is on the same server when inviting other users
98 to local ("&") channels.
99 Idea by Cahata, thanks! Closes #183.
100 - MODE command: Always report channel creation time. Up to now when
101 receiving a MODE command, ngIRCd only reported the channel creation
102 time to clients that were members of the channel. This patch reports
103 the channel creation time to all clients, regardless if they are joined
104 to that channel or not. At least ircd-seven behaves like this.
105 This closes #188. Reported by Cahata, thanks!
107 ngIRCd 22.1 (2015-04-06)
109 - Update "CipherList" to not enable SSLv3 by default. Idea, initial patch,
110 and testing by Christoph Biedl <ngircd.anoy@manchmal.in-ulm.de>.
111 - Change ngIRCd test suite not to use DNS lookups: Different operating
112 systems do behave quite differently when doing DNS lookups, for example
113 "127.0.0.1" sometimes resolves to "localhost" and sometimes to
114 "localhost.localdomain" (for example OpenBSD). And other OS resolve
115 "localhost" to the real host name (for example Cygwin). So not using
116 DNS at all makes the test site much more portable.
118 ngIRCd 22 (2014-10-11)
120 - Match all list patterns case-insensitive: this affects the invite-,
121 ban-, and except lists, as well as G-Lines an K-Lines.
122 Problem pointed out by "wowaname" on #ngircd, thanks!
124 ngIRCd 22~rc1 (2014-09-29)
125 - Sync "except lists" between servers: Up to now, ban, invite, and G-Line
126 lists have been synced between servers while linking -- but obviously
127 nobody noticed that except list have been missing ever since. Until now.
128 Thanks to "j4jackj", who reported this issue in #ngircd.
129 - Allow longer user names (up to 63 characters) for authentication.
130 - Increase MAX_SERVERS from 16 to 64: There are installations out there
131 that would like to configure more than 16 links per server, so increase
132 this limit. Best would be to get rid of MAX_SERVERS altogether and make
133 if fully dynamic, but start with this quick and dirty hack ...
134 - Test suite/platformtest.sh: Detect when tests have been skipped.
135 - Allow "DefaultUserModes" to set all possible modes, including modes only
136 settable by IRC Operators.
137 - Implement user mode "F": "relaxed flood protection". Clients with mode
138 "F" set are allowed to rapidly send data to the daemon. This mode is only
139 settable by IRC Operators and can cause problems in the network -- so be
140 careful and only set it on "trusted" clients!
141 User mode "F" is used by Bahamut for this purpose, for example.
142 - Use server password when PAM is compiled in but disabled.
143 - Streamline punctuation of log messages.
144 - Return ISUPPORT(005) numerics on "VERSION". This is how ircd-seven,
145 Charybdis, Hybrid, and InspIRCd behave, for example.
146 - configure: Only link "contrib/Debian" if it exists, which isn't the case
147 on "VPATH builds", for example.
148 - Show the account name in WHOIS. This uses the same numeric as Charybdis
149 and ircu families: WHOISLOGGEDIN(330).
150 - Pattern matching: Remove "range matching" in our pattern matching code
151 using the "[...]" syntax, because [ and ] are valid characters in nick
152 names and one has to quote them currently using the "\" character, which
153 is quite unexpected for users.
154 - platformtest.sh: New option "-x", don't regenerate build system and
155 allow using separate source and build trees.
156 - Test suite: explicitly enable glibc memory checking.
157 - Make "MODE -k" handling more robust and compatible, send "fake '*' key"
159 - portabtest: Actually test the functions snprintf(), strlcpy(), strlcat(),
160 and vsnprintf() for correctness, not only existence (which was quite
161 useless, because if they weren't available, the program could not have
162 been linked at all ...).
163 - Implement new configuration option "Network": it is used to set the
164 (completely optional) "network name", to which this instance of the
165 daemon belongs. When set, this name is used in the ISUPPORT(005) numeric
166 which is sent to all clients connecting to the server after logging in.
167 - Update doc/Platforms.txt.
168 - Various code cleanups, remove unused code, streamline error handling.
169 Remove all imp.h and exp.h header files, support non-standard vsnprintf()
170 return codes, and fix some K&R C portability issues. Streamline
171 DEBUG_ARRAY, DEBUG_BUFFER, DEBUG_IO, DEBUG_ZIP definitions.
172 - Increase penalty time to 10 seconds when handling OPER commands with an
175 ngIRCd 21.1 (2014-03-25)
177 - Don't ignore but use the server password when PAM is compiled in but
178 disabled. Thanks to Roy Sindre Norangshol <roy.sindre@norangshol.no>!
179 - doc/Platforms.txt: Update from master branch.
180 - doc/Services.txt: Update information for Anope 2.x.
181 - configure: add support for the LDFLAGS_END and LIBS_END variables to add
182 linker flags and libraries at the end of the configure run (CFLAGS_END has
183 been implemented already).
184 - Update Copyright notices for 2014 :-)
186 ngIRCd 21 (2013-10-30)
188 - Call arc4random_stir() in forked subprocesses, when available. This
189 is required by FreeBSD <10 and current NetBSD at least to correctly
190 initialize the "arc4" random number generator on these platforms.
192 ngIRCd 21~rc2 (2013-10-20)
193 - Report the correct configuration file name on configuration errors,
194 support longer configuration lines, and warn when lines are truncated.
196 ngIRCd 21~rc1 (2013-10-05)
197 - Actually KILL clients on GLINE/KLINE. (Closes bug #156)
198 - Add support to show all user links using the "STATS L" (uppercase)
199 command (restricted to IRC Operators).
200 - Implement configurable SSL cipher list selection for GnuTLS and OpenSSL
201 using the new configuration option "CipherList". In addition, this
202 changes the defaults to more secure values: "HIGH:!aNULL:@STRENGTH" for
203 OpenSSL, and "SECURE128" for GnuTLS.
204 - Show connection flag "s" (SSL) in RPL_TRACE{LINK|SERVER} messages: now
205 you can check if a server-to-server link is SSL-encrypted or not using
206 the IRC "TRACE" command.
207 - Implement the new configuration option "DefaultUserModes" which lists
208 user modes that become automatically set on new local clients right
209 after login. Please note that only modes can be set that the client
210 could set on itself, so you can't set "a" (away) or "o" (IRC Op),
211 for example! User modes "i" (invisible) or "x" (cloaked) etc. are
212 "interesting", though. (Closes bug #160)
213 - Add support for the new METADATA "account" property, which allows
214 services to automatically identify users after netsplits and across
216 - Implement a new configuration option "AllowedChannelTypes" that lists
217 all allowed channel types (channel prefixes) for newly created channels
218 on the local server. By default, all supported channel types are allowed.
219 If set to the empty string, local clients can't create new channels at
220 all, which equals the old "PredefChannelsOnly = yes" setting.
221 This change deprecates the "PredefChannelsOnly" variable, too, but it is
222 still supported and translated to the appropriate "AllowedChannelTypes"
223 setting. When the old "PredefChannelsOnly" variable is processed, a
224 warning message is logged. (Closes bug #152)
225 - Add support for "client certificate fingerprinting". When a client
226 passes an SSL certificate to the server, the "fingerprint" will be
227 forwarded in the network which enables IRC services to identify the
228 user using this certificate and not using passwords.
229 - Implement a new configuration option "IncludeDir" in the "[Options]"
230 section that can be used to specify a directory which can contain
231 further configuration files and configuration file snippets matching
232 the pattern "*.conf". These files are read in after the main server
233 configuration file ("ngircd.conf" by default) has been read in and
234 parsed. The default is "$SYSCONFDIR/ngircd.conf.d", so that it is
235 possible to adjust the configuration only by placing additional files
236 into this directory. (Closes bug #157)
237 - Add Travis-CI configuration file (".travis.yml") to project.
238 - ngIRCd now accepts user names including "@" characters, saves the
239 unmodified name for authentication but stores only the part in front
240 of the "@" character as "IRC user name". And the latter is how
241 ircd2.11, Bahamut, and irc-seven behave as well. (Closes bug #155)
242 - Lots of IRC "information functions" like ADMIN, INFO, ... now accept
243 server masks and names of connected users (in addition to server names)
244 for specifying the target server of the command. (Closes bug #153)
245 - Implement a new configuration option "IdleTimeout" in the "[Limits]"
246 section of the configuration file which can be used to set a timeout
247 in seconds after which the whole daemon will shutdown when no more
248 connections are left active after handling at least one client.
249 The default is 0, "never".
250 This can be useful for testing or when ngIRCd is started using "socket
251 activation" with systemd(8), for example.
252 - Implement support for systemd(8) "socket activation".
253 - Enable WHOIS to display information about IRC Services using the new
254 numeric 310(RPL_WHOISSERVICE) This numeric is used for this purpose by
255 InspIRCd, for example -- but as usual, other numerics are in use, too,
256 like 613 in UltimateIRCd ...
257 Please note that neither the Operator (+o) not the "bot status" (+B)
258 of an IRC service is displayed in the output.
259 - Update systemd(8) example configuration files in ./contrib/ directory:
260 the "ngircd.service" file now uses the "forking" service type which
261 enhances the log messages shown by "systemctl status ngircd.service",
262 and the new "ngircd.socket" file configures a systemd socket that
263 configures a socket for ngIRCd and launches the daemon on demand.
264 - Enhance help system and the HELP command: now a "help text file" can be
265 set using the new configuration option "HelpFile" ("global" section),
266 which is read in and parsed on server startup and configuration reload,
267 and then is used to output individual help texts to specific topics.
268 Please see the file ./doc/Commands.txt for details.
270 ngIRCd 20.3 (2013-08-23)
272 - This release is a bugfix release only, without new features.
273 - Security: Fix a denial of service bug (server crash) which could happen
274 when the configuration option "NoticeAuth" is enabled (which is NOT the
275 default) and ngIRCd failed to send the "notice auth" messages to new
276 clients connecting to the server (CVE-2013-5580).
278 ngIRCd 20.2 (2013-02-15)
280 - This release is a bugfix release only, without new features.
281 - Security: Fix a denial of service bug in the function handling KICK
282 commands that could be used by arbitrary users to to crash the daemon
285 ngIRCd 20.1 (2013-01-02)
287 - This release is a bugfix release only, without new features.
289 ngIRCd 20 (2012-12-17)
291 - Allow user names ("INDENT") up to 20 characters when ngIRCd has not
292 been configured for "strict RFC mode". This is useful if you are using
293 external (PAM) authentication mechanisms that require longer user names.
294 Patch suggested by Brett Smith <brett@w3.org>, see
295 <http://arthur.barton.de/pipermail/ngircd-ml/2012-October/000579.html>.
297 ngIRCd 20~rc2 (2012-12-02)
298 - Rework cloaked hostname handling and implement the "METADATA cloakhost"
299 subcommand: Now ngIRCd uses two fields internally, one to store the
300 "real" hostname and one to save the "cloaked" hostname. This allows
301 "foreign servers" (aka "IRC services") to alter the real and cloaked
302 hostnames of clients without problems, even when the user itself issues
303 additional "MODE +x" and "MODE -x" commands.
305 ngIRCd 20~rc1 (2012-11-11)
306 - Update doc/Services.txt: describe the upcoming version of Anope 1.9.8,
307 then including a protocol module for ngIRCd. And remove our own patches
308 in ./contrib/Anope because they aren't supported any more ...
309 - Implement new "METADATA" command which can be used by remote servers
310 and IRC services to update client metadata like the client info text
311 ("real name"), user name, and hostname, and use this command to
312 configure an cloaked hostname (user mode "+x") on remote servers:
313 This prevents "double cloaking" of hostnames and even cloaked
314 hostnames are in sync on all servers supporting "METADATA" now.
315 - Implement new IRC "SVSNICK" command to allow remote servers (and IRC
316 services) to change nicknames of already registered users. The SVSNICK
317 command itself doesn't change the nickname, but it becomes forwarded
318 to the server to which the user is connected to. And then this server
319 initiates the real nickname changing using regular NICK commands.
320 This allows to run mixed networks with old servers not supporting the
321 SVSNICK command, because SVSNICK commands for nicknames on such servers
322 are silently ignored and don't cause a desynchronization of the network.
323 - New configuration option "MaxListSize" to configure the maximum number
324 of channels returned by a LIST command. The default is 100, as before.
325 - Implement user mode "b", "block messages": when a user has set mode "b",
326 all private messages and notices to this user are blocked if they don't
327 originate from a registered user, an IRC Op, server or service. The
328 originator gets an error numeric sent back in this case,
329 ERR_NONONREG_MSG (486), which is used by UnrealIRCd, too. (Closes #144)
330 - Implement channel mode "V" (invite disallow): If the new channel mode
331 "V" is set, the INVITE command becomes invalid and all clients get the
332 new ERR_NOINVITE_MSG (518) reply. (Closes #143)
333 - Implement channel mode "Q" and user mode "q": Both modes protect users
334 from channel kicks: only IRC operators and servers can kick users having
335 mode "q" or in channels with mode "Q". (Closes #141)
336 - Allow users to "cloak" their hostname only when the configuration
337 variable "CloakHostModeX" (introduced in 19.2) is set. Otherwise, only
338 IRC operators, other servers, and services are allowed to set the user
339 mode "+x": this prevents regular users from changing their hostmask to
340 the name of the IRC server itself, which confused quite a few people ;-)
342 - New configuration option "OperChanPAutoOp": If disabled, IRC operators
343 don't become channel operators in persistent channels when joining.
344 Enabled by default, which has been the behavior of ngIRCd up to this
346 - Allow IRC operators to see secret (+s) channels in LIST command as long
347 as the "MorePrivacy" configuration option isn't enabled in the
348 configuration file. (Closes #136)
349 - Implement new (optional) IRC+ "CHARCONV" command to set a client
350 character set that the server translates all messages to/from UTF-8.
351 This feature requires the "libiconv" library and must be enabled using
352 the new "--with-iconv" option of the ./configure script. See
353 doc/Protocol.txt for details. (Closes #109)
354 - Implement user mode "B" ("Bot flag"): it is settable and unsettable by
355 every (non-restricted) client. This is how Unreal and InspIRCd do
356 behave, and so do we :-)
357 - Implement channel mode "M": Only the server, identified users and IRC
358 operators are able to talk in such a channel.
359 - Block nicknames that are reserved for services and are defined using the
360 configuration variable "ServiceMask" in "Server" blocks; And this
361 variable now can handle more than one mask separated by commas.
362 - Implemented XOP channel user modes: "Half Op" ("+h", prefix "%") can set
363 the channel modes +imntvIbek and kick all +v and normal users; "Admin"
364 ("+a", prefix "&") can set channel modes +imntvIbekoRsz and kick all +o,
365 +h, +v and normal users; and "Owner" ("+q", prefix "~") can set channel
366 modes +imntvIbekoRsz and kick all +a, +o, +h, +v and normal users.
367 - Implement hashed cloaked hostnames for both the "CloakHost" and
368 "CloakHostModeX" configuration options: now the admin can use the new
369 '%x' placeholder to insert a hashed version of the clients hostname,
370 and the new configuration option "CloakHostSalt" defines the salt for
371 the hash function. When "CloakHostSalt" is not set (the default), a
372 random salt will be generated after each server restart.
374 ngIRCd 19.2 (2012-06-19)
376 ngIRCd 19.2~rc1 (2012-06-13)
377 - New configuration option "CloakHostModeX" to configure the hostname
378 that gets used for IRC clients which have user mode "+x" enabled.
379 Up to now, the name of the IRC server itself has been used for this,
380 which still is the default when "CloakHostModeX" isn't set.
381 - Add instructions for setting up Atheme IRC services.
382 - Implement support for IRC capability handling, the new "CAP" command,
383 and capability "multi-prefix" which allows both the NAME and WHO command
384 handlers to return more than one "class prefix" to the client.
386 ngIRCd 19.1 (2012-03-19)
388 - Really include _all_ patches to build the Anope module into the
389 distribution archive ... ooops!
391 ngIRCd 19 (2012-02-29)
393 ngIRCd 19~rc1 (2012-02-12)
394 - Update preliminary ngIRCd protocol module for Anope 1.9.6, which now
395 is the only supported version.
396 - New numeric RPL_WHOISHOST_MSG(378), which returns the DNS host name
397 (if available) and the IP address of a client in the WHOIS reply.
398 Only the user itself and local IRC operators get this numeric.
399 - Implement channel exception list (mode 'e'). This allows a channel
400 operator to define exception masks that allow users to join the
401 channel even when a "ban" would match and prevent them from joining:
402 the exception list (e) overrides the ban list (b).
403 - Implement user mode 'C': If the target user of a PRIVMSG or NOTICE
404 command has the user mode 'C' set, it is required that both sender
405 and receiver are on the same channel. This prevents private flooding
406 by completely unknown clients.
407 - New RPL_WHOISREGNICK_MSG(307) numeric in WHOIS command replies: it
408 indicates if a nickname is registered (if user mode 'R' set).
409 - Limit channel invite, ban, and exception lists to 50 entries and fix
410 duplicate check and error messages when adding already listed entries
411 or deleting no (longer) existing ones.
412 - Limit the number of list items in the reply of LIST (100), WHO (25),
413 WHOIS (10), and WHOWAS (25) commands.
414 - Limit the MODE command to handle a maximum number of 5 channel modes
415 that require an argument (+Ibkl) per call and report this number
416 in the ISUPPORT(005) numeric: "MODES=5".
417 - LINKS command: support <mask> parameter to limit the reply.
418 - Add 1 second penalty for every further target on PRIVMSG/NOTICE
419 commands: this reduces the possibility of flooding channels with
420 commands like "PRIVMSG/NOTICE #a,#n,#c,... :message" a little bit.
421 Problem noticed by Cahata, thanks!
422 - New configuration option "PAMIsOptional": when set, clients not
423 sending a password are still allowed to connect: they won't become
424 "identified" and keep the "~" character prepended to their supplied
425 user name. See "man 5 ngircd.conf" for details.
426 - Fixed handling of WHO commands. This fixes two bugs: "WHO <nick>"
427 returned nothing at all if the user was "+i" (reported by Cahata,
428 thanks) and "WHO <nick|nickmask>" returned channel names instead
429 of "*" when the user was member of a (visible) channel.
430 - LUSERS reply: only count channels that are visible to the requesting
431 client, so the existence of secret channels is no longer revealed by
432 using LUSERS. Reported by Cahata, thanks!
433 - Unknown user and channel modes no longer stop the mode parser, but
434 are simply ignored. Therefore modes after the unknown one are now
435 handled. This is how ircd2.10/ircd2.11/ircd-seven behave, at least.
436 Reported by Cahata, thanks!
437 - Implement IRC commands "GLINE" and "KLINE" to ban users. G-Lines are
438 synchronized between server on peering, K-Lines are local only.
439 If you use "*!<user>@<host>" or "*!*@<host>" masks, these connections
440 are blocked even before the user is fully logged in (before PASS,
441 NICK, and USER commands have been processed) and before the child
442 processes for authentication are forked, so resource usage is smaller.
443 - Added doc/Modes.txt: document modes supported by ngIRCd.
444 - Implement user mode "R": indicates that the nickname of this user
445 is "registered". This mode isn't handled by ngIRCd itself, but must
446 be set and unset by IRC services like Anope.
447 - Implement channel mode "R": only registered users (having the user
448 mode "R" set) are allowed to join this channel.
449 - Test suite: bind to loopback (127.0.0.1) interface only.
450 - Handle unknown user and channel modes: these modes are saved and
451 forwarded to other servers, but ignored otherwise.
452 - Handle channel user modes 'a', 'h', and 'q' from remote servers.
453 These channel user modes aren't used for anything at the moment,
454 but ngIRCd knows that these three modes are "channel user modes"
455 and not "channel modes", that is that these modes take an "nickname"
456 argument. Like unknown user and channel modes, these modes are saved
457 and forwarded to other servers, but ignored otherwise.
459 ngIRCd 18 (2011-07-10)
461 - Add preliminary ngIRCd protocol module for Anope 1.9 to contrib/Anope/.
463 ngIRCd 18~rc2 (2011-06-29)
464 - GnuTLS: use 1024 bits as minimum size of the DH prime. This enables
465 ngIRCd to accept incoming connections from other servers and clients
466 that "only" use at least 1024 bits again, like ngIRCd 17 did (and no
467 longer requires 2048 bits for incoming connections).
469 ngIRCd 18~rc1 (2011-06-27)
470 - New configuration option "MorePrivacy" to "censor" some user information.
471 When enabled, signon time and idle time is left out. Part and quit
472 messages are made to look the same. WHOWAS requests are silently dropped.
473 All of this is useful if one wish to conceal users that access the ngircd
474 servers from TOR or I2P.
475 - New configuration option "ScrubCTCP" to scrub incoming CTCP commands. If
476 activated, the server silently drops incoming CTCP requests from both
477 other servers and from users. The server that scrubs CTCP will not forward
478 the CTCP requests to other servers in the network either, which can spell
479 trouble if not every oper knows about the CTCP-scrubbing. Scrubbing CTCP
480 commands also means that it is not possible to send files between users.
481 There is one exception to the CTCP scrubbing performed: ACTION ("/me
482 commands") requests are not scrubbed.
483 - Restructure ngIRCd configuration file: introduce new [Limits], [Options],
484 and [SSL] sections. The intention of this restructuring is to make the
485 [Global] section much cleaner, so that it only contains variables that
486 most installations must adjust to the local requirements. All the optional
487 variables are moved to [Limits], for configurable limits and timers of
488 ngIRCd, and [Options], for optional features. All SSL-related variables
489 are moved to [SSL] and the "SSL"-prefix is stripped. The old variables in
490 the [Global] section are deprecated now, but are still recognized.
491 => Don't forget to check your configuration, use "ngircd --configtest"!
492 - New documentation "how to contribute": doc/Contributing.txt.
493 - Avoid needlessly scary 'buffer overflow' messages: When the write buffer
494 space grows too large, ngIRCd has to disconnect the client to avoid
495 wasting too much memory, which is logged with a scary 'write buffer
496 overflow' message. Change this to a more descriptive wording.
497 - New configuration option "RequireAuthPing": PING-PONG on login. When
498 enabled, this configuration option lets ngIRCd send a PING with an numeric
499 "token" to clients logging in; and it will not become registered in the
500 network until the client responds with the correct PONG.
501 - New configuration option "NoticeAuth": send NOTICE AUTH on connect. When
502 active, ngircd will send "NOTICE AUTH" messages on client connect time
503 like e.g. snircd (QuakeNet) does.
504 - Add support for up to 3 targets in WHOIS queries, also allow up to one
505 wildcard query from local hosts. Follows ircd 2.10 implementation rather
506 than RFC 2812. At most 10 entries are returned per wildcard expansion.
507 - ngircd.conf(5) manual page: describe types of configuration variables
508 (booleans, text strings, integer numbers) and add type information to each
509 variable description.
510 - Terminate incoming connections on HTTP commands "GET" and "POST".
511 - New configuration option "CloakHost": when set, this host name is used for
512 every client instead of the real DNS host name (or IP address).
513 - New configuration option "CloakUserToNick": when enabled, ngIRCd sets
514 every clients' user name to their nickname and hides the user name
515 supplied by the IRC client.
516 - Make write buffers bigger, but flush early. Before this change, a client
517 got disconnected if the buffer flushing at 4k failed, now regular clients
518 can store up to 32k and servers up 64k even if flushing is not possible at
519 the moment. This enhances reliability on slow links.
520 - Allow "Port = 0" in [Server] blocks. Port number 0 marks remote servers
521 that try to connect to this daemon, but where this daemon never tries to
522 establish a connection on its own: only incoming connections are allowed.
523 - Enable WHOIS command to return information about services.
524 - Implement channel mode 'O': "IRC operators only". This channel mode is
525 used on DALnet (bahamut), for example.
526 - Remove support for ZeroConf/Bonjour/Rendezvous service registration
527 including the "[No]ZeroConf" configuration option.
528 - Deprecate NoXX-Options in ngircd.conf and move new variants into our new
529 [Options] section: 'NoDNS=no' => 'DNS=yes', 'NoIdent=no' => 'Ident=yes',
530 'NoPAM=no' => 'PAM=yes', and 'NoZeroConf=no' => 'ZeroConf=yes' (and
531 vice-versa). The defaults are adjusted accordingly and the old variables
532 in [Global] are still accepted, so there is no functional change.
534 ngIRCd 17.1 (2010-12-19)
536 - Don't log critical (or worse) messages to stderr
537 - Remove "error file" when compiled with debug code enabled
538 - New numeric 329: get channel creation time on "MODE #chan" commands
540 ngIRCd 17 (2010-11-07)
542 - doc: change path names in sample-ngircd.conf depending on sysconfdir
544 ngIRCd 17~rc2 (2010-10-25)
545 - Generate ngIRCd version number from GIT tag.
546 - Make source code compatible with ansi2knr again. This allows to compile
547 ngIRCd using a pre-ANSI K&R C compiler again.
549 ngIRCd 17~rc1 (2010-10-11)
550 - New configuration option "NoZeroConf" to disable service registration at
551 runtime even if ngIRCd is compiled with support for ZeroConf (e.g. using
552 Howl, Avahi or on Mac OS X).
553 - New configuration option "SyslogFacility" to define the syslog "facility"
554 (the "target"), to which ngIRCd should send its log messages.
555 Possible values are system dependent, but most probably "auth", "daemon",
556 "user" and "local1" through "local7" are possible values; see syslog(3).
557 Default is "local5" for historical reasons.
558 - Dump the "internal server state" (configured servers, established
559 connections and known clients) to the console or syslog when receiving
560 the SIGUSR2 signal and debug mode is enabled.
561 - Enable the daemon to disable and enable "debug mode" on runtime using
562 signal SIGUSR1, when debug code is compiled in, not only on startup
563 using the command line parameters.
564 - Implement user mode "x": host name cloaking (closes: #102).
565 - Change MOTD file handling: ngIRCd now caches the contents of the MOTD
566 file, so the daemon now requires a HUP signal or REHASH command to
567 re-read the MOTD file when its content changed.
568 - Allow IRC ops to change channel modes even without OperServerMode set.
569 - Allow IRC operators to use MODE command on any channel (closes: #100).
570 - New configuration option "NoPAM" to disable PAM.
571 - Implement asynchronous user authentication using PAM, please see the
572 file doc/PAM.txt for details.
573 - Add some documentation for using BOPM with ngIRCd, see doc/Bopm.txt.
574 - Implement user mode "c": receive connect/disconnect NOTICEs. Note that
575 this new mode requires the user to be an IRC operator.
576 - Show SSL status in WHOIS output, numeric 275.
578 ngIRCd 16 (2010-05-02)
580 ngIRCd 16~rc2 (2010-04-25)
581 - Enhance connection statistics counters: display total number of served
582 connections on daemon shutdown and when a new client connects using
583 the new numeric RPL_STATSCONN (250).
585 ngIRCd 16~rc1 (2010-03-25)
586 - Implement WEBIRC command used by some Web-IRC frontends. The password
587 required to secure this command must be configured using the new
588 "WebircPassword" variable in the ngircd.conf file.
589 - Remove limit on max number of configured irc operators.
590 - A new channel mode "secure connections only" (+z) has been implemented:
591 Only clients using a SSL encrypted connection to the server are allowed
592 to join such a channel.
593 But please note three things: a) already joined clients are not checked
594 when setting this mode, b) IRC operators are always allowed to join
595 every channel, and c) remote clients using a server not supporting this
596 mode are not checked either and therefore always allowed to join.
598 ngIRCd 15 (2009-11-07)
600 ngIRCd 15~rc1 (2009-10-15)
601 - Do not add default listening port (6667) if SSL ports were specified, so
602 ngIRCd can be configured to only accept SSL-encrypted connections now.
603 - Enable IRC operators to use the IRC command SQUIT (instead of the already
604 implemented but non-standard DISCONNECT command).
605 - New configuration option "AllowRemoteOper" (disabled by default) that
606 enables remote IRC operators to use the IRC commands SQUIT and CONNECT
608 - Enforce upper limit on maximum number of handled commands. This implements
609 a throttling scheme: an IRC client can send up to 3 commands or 256 bytes
610 per second before a one second pause is enforced.
612 ngIRCd 14.1 (2009-05-05)
614 - Security: fix remotely triggerable crash in SSL/TLS code.
615 - Debian: build ngircd-full-dbg package.
616 - Allow ping timeout quit messages to show the timeout value.
618 ngIRCd 14 (2009-04-20)
620 ngIRCd 14~rc1 (2009-03-29)
621 - Allow creation of persistent modeless channels.
622 - The INFO command reports the compile time now (if available).
623 - Support individual channel keys for pre-defined channels: introduce
624 new configuration variable "KeyFile" in [Channel] sections in ngircd.conf,
625 here a file can be configured for each pre-defined channel which contains
626 individual channel keys for different users.
627 - Remove limit on maximum number of predefined channels in ngircd.conf.
629 ngIRCd 13 (2008-12-25)
631 ngIRCd 13~rc1 (2008-11-21):
632 - New version number scheme :-)
633 - Initial support for IRC services, using a RFC1459 style interface,
634 tested with IRCServices (http://www.ircservices.za.net/) version 5.1.13.
635 For this to work, ngIRCd now supports server-server links conforming
636 to RFC 1459. New ngircd.conf(5) option: ServiceMask.
637 - Support for SSL-encrypted server-server and client-server links using
638 OpenSSL (configure: --with-openssl) or GNUTLS (configure: --with-gnutls).
639 New ngircd.conf(5) options: SSLPorts, SSLKeyFile, SSLKeyFilePassword,
640 SSLCertFile, SSLDHFile, and SSLConnect.
641 - Server local channels have been implemented, prefix "&", that are only
642 visible to users of the same server and are not visible in the network.
643 In addition ngIRCd creates a "special" channel &SERVER on startup and logs
644 all the messages to it that a user with mode +s receives.
645 - New make target "osxpkg" to build a Mac OS X installer package.
646 - New configuration option "NoIdent" to disable IDENT lookups even if the
647 daemon is compiled with IDENT support.
649 ngIRCd 0.12.1 (2008-07-09)
651 - Add option aliases -V (for --version) and -h (for --help).
652 - Make Listen parameter a comma-separated list of addresses. This also
653 obsoletes ListenIPv4 and ListenIPv6 options. If Listen is unset, it
654 is treated as Listen="::,0.0.0.0".
655 Note: ListenIPv4 and ListenIPv6 options are still recognized,
656 but ngircd will print a warning if they are used in the config file.
658 ngIRCd 0.12.0 (2008-05-13)
660 ngIRCd 0.12.0-pre2 (2008-04-29)
661 - IPv6: Add config options to disable ipv4/ipv6 support.
663 ngIRCd 0.12.0-pre1 (2008-04-20)
665 - Install a LaunchDaemon script to start/stop ngIRCd on Mac OS X.
666 - Implemented IRC commands INFO, SUMMON (dummy), and USERS (dummy) and
667 enhanced test suite to check these commands. (Dana Dahlstrom)
668 - IRC_WHO now supports search patterns and will test this against user
669 nickname/server name/host name, etc. as required by RFC 2812, Section 3.6.1.
670 (reported by Dana Dahlstrom)
671 - Implement RFC 2812 handling of "0" argument to 'JOIN': must be treated
672 as if the user had sent PART commands for all channels the user is a
673 member of. (Dana Dahlstrom)
674 - Allow NOTICEs to be sent to a channel. (Fabian Schlager)
676 ngIRCd 0.11.0 (2008-01-15)
678 - Add support for /STAT u (server uptime) command.
679 - New [Server] configuration Option "Bind" allows to specify
680 the source IP address to use when connecting to remote server.
681 - New configuration option "MaxNickLength" to specify the allowed maximum
682 length of user nicknames. Note: must be unique in an IRC network!
683 - Numeric 317: implemented "signon time" (displayed in WHOIS result).
684 - Added new server configuration option "Passive" for "Server" blocks to
685 disable automatic outgoing connections (similar to -p option to ngircd,
686 but only for the specified server). (Tassilo Schweyer)
687 - Added support for the WALLOPS command. Usage is restricted to IRC
690 ngIRCd 0.10.2 (2007-06-08)
692 - Predefined channel configuration now allows specification of channel key
693 (mode k) and maximum user count (mode l): variables "Key" and "MaxUsers".
694 - When using the epoll() IO interface, compile in the select() interface as
695 well and fall back to it when epoll() isn't available on runtime.
696 - Added support for IO APIs "poll()" and "/dev/poll".
698 ngIRCd 0.10.1 (2006-12-17)
700 - Allow PASS syntax defined in RFC 1459 for server links, too.
701 - New configuration option "PredefChannelsOnly": if set, clients can only
702 join predefined channels.
704 ngIRCd 0.10.0 (2006-10-01)
706 ngIRCd 0.10.0-pre1 (2006-08-02)
707 - Enhanced DIE to accept a single parameter ("comment text") which is sent
708 to all locally connected clients before the server goes down.
709 - JOIN now supports more than one channel key at a time.
710 - Implemented numeric "333": Time and user name who set a channel topic.
711 - Channel topics are no longer limited to 127 characters: now the only limit
712 is the maximum length of an IRC command, i. e. 512 bytes (in practice, this
713 limits the topic to about 490 characters due to protocol overhead).
714 - Reverse DNS lookup code now checks the result by doing an additional
715 lookup to prevent spoofing.
716 - Added new IO layer which (optionally) supports epoll() and kqueue() in
717 addition to the select() interface.
719 ngIRCd 0.9.0 (2005-07-24)
721 - Never run with root privileges but always switch the user ID.
722 - Make "netsplit" messages RFC compliant.
723 - Implemented the IRC function "WHOWAS".
724 - New configuration option "OperServerMode" to enable a workaround needed
725 when running an network with ircd2 servers and "OperCanUseMode" enabled
726 to prevent the ircd2 daemon to drop mode changes of IRC operators.
727 Patch by Florian Westphal, <westphal@foo.fh-furtwangen.de>.
728 - Implemented support for "secret channels" (channel mode "s").
729 - New configuration option "Mask" for [Operator] sections to limit OPER
730 commands to users with a specific IRC mask. Patch from Florian Westphal.
731 - New configuration variable "PidFile", section "[Global]": if defined,
732 the server writes its process ID (PID) to this file. Default: off.
733 Idea of Florian Westphal, <westphal@foo.fh-furtwangen.de>.
734 - Added support for the Howl (http://www.porchdogsoft.com/products/howl/)
735 Rendezvous API, in addition to the API of Apple (Mac OS X). The available
736 API will be autodetected when you call "./configure --with-rendezvous".
738 ngIRCd 0.8.0 (2004-06-26)
740 - Two new configuration options: "ChrootDir" and "MotdPhrase", thanks to
741 Benjamin Pineau <ben@zouh.org>. Now you can force the daemon to change
742 its root and working directory to something "safe". MotdPhrase is used
743 to define an "MOTD string" instead of a whole file, useful if the
744 "real" MOTD file would be outside the "jail".
745 - INVITE- and BAN-lists become synchronized between IRC+ servers when
746 establishing new connections, if the peer supports this as well.
747 - The type of service (TOS) of all sockets is set to "interactive" now.
748 - Added short command line option "-t" as alternative to "--configtest".
749 - Added optional support for "IDENT" lookups on incoming connections. You
750 have to enable this function with the ./configure switch "--with-ident".
751 The default is not to do IDENT lookups.
753 ngIRCd 0.7.5 (2003-07-11)
755 - New configuration variable "MaxConnectionsIP" to limit the number of
756 simultaneous connections from a single IP that the server will accept.
757 This configuration options lowers the risk of denial of service attacks
758 (DoS), the default is 5 connections per client IP.
759 - Added new configuration variable "Listen" to bind all listening
760 sockets of the server to a single IP address.
762 ngIRCd 0.7.1 (2003-07-18)
764 - Added support for GNU/Hurd.
766 ngIRCd 0.7.0 (2003-05-01)
768 - New command CONNECT to enable and add server links. The syntax is not
769 RFC-compatible: use "CONNECT <name> <port>" to enable and connect an
770 configured server and "CONNECT <name> <port> <host> <mypwd> <peerpwd>"
771 to add a new server (ngIRCd tries to connect new servers only once!).
772 - Added DISCONNECT command ("DISCONNECT <name>") to disable servers.
773 - New command TRACE (you can trace only servers at the moment).
774 - New command HELP that lists all understood commands.
775 - ngIRCd can register itself with Rendezvous: to enable support pass the
776 new switch "--with-rendezvous" to configure.
777 - Added support for TCP Wrappers library: pass "--with-tcp-wrappers" to
778 configure to enable it.
779 - Changed some configure options to use "--with"/"--without" as prefix
780 instead of "--enable"/"--disable": "--without-syslog", "--without-zlib",
781 "--with-tcp-wrappers", and "--with-rendezvous".
782 - Enhanced manual pages ngircd(8) and ngircd.conf(5).
783 - Documentation is now installed in $(datadir)/doc/ngircd.
786 Older news (sorry, only available in German language):
788 ngIRCd 0.6.0, 24.12.2002
790 - beim Schliessen einer Verbindung zeigt der Server nun vor dem ERROR
791 noch eine Statistik ueber die empfangene und gesendete Datenmenge an.
792 - Connection-Strukturen werden nun "pool-weise" verwaltet; der Pool wird
793 bei Bedarf bis zu einem konfigurierten Limit vergroessert.
794 - Mit der neuen Konfigurationsvariable "MaxConnections" (Sekion "Global")
795 kann die maximale Anzahl gleichzeitiger Verbindungen begrenzt werden.
796 Der Default ist -1, "unlimitiert".
797 - der Server erkennt nun, ob bereits eine eingehende Verbindung von einem
798 Peer-Server besteht und versucht dann nicht mehr, selber eine eigene
799 ausgehende Verbindung zu diesem auufzubauen. Dadurch kann nun auf beiden
800 Servern in der Konfiguration ein Port fuer den Connect konfiguriert
801 werden (beide Server versuchen sich dann gegenseitig zu connectieren).
802 - Server identifizieren sich nun mit asynchronen Passwoertern, d.h. das
803 Passwort, welches A an B schickt, kann ein anderes sein als das, welches
804 B als Antwort an A sendet. In der Konfig.-Datei, Abschnitt "Server",
805 wurde "Password" dazu durch "MyPassword" und "PeerPassword" ersetzt.
806 - Der Server kann nun zur Laufzeit die Konfiguration neu einlesen: dies
807 macht er nach dem Befehl REHASH oder wenn ein HUP-Signal empfangen wird.
808 - Server-Server-Links koennen nun komprimiert werden, dazu wird die zlib
809 (www.zlib.org) benoetigt. Unterstuetzt die Gegenseite die Komprimierung
810 nicht, wird automatisch unkomprimiert kommuniziert. Das Verfahren ist
811 kompatibel mit dem Original-ircd 2.10.3, d.h. beide Server koennen
812 miteinander ueber komprimiert Links kommunizieren.
813 - neue Konfigurations-Variable "MaxJoins": Hiermit kann die maximale Zahl
814 der Channels, in denen ein User Mitglied sein kann, begrent werden.
815 - neue Channel-Modes l (User-Limit) und k (Channel-Key) implementiert.
817 ngIRCd 0.5.0, 20.09.2002
819 - AIX (3.2.5), HP-UX (10.20), IRIX (6.5), NetBSD (1.5.3/m68k) und Solaris
820 (2.5.1, 2.6) gehoeren nun auch zu den unterstuetzten Platformen.
821 - Unter A/UX (und evtl. weiteren Systemen) kompiliert der ngIRCd nun mit
822 dem "nativen" (ggf. pre-ANSI) Compiler.
823 - "persistente Channels" (Mode 'P') implementiert: diese koennen in der
824 Konfigurationsdatei definiert werden (Sektion "Channel", vgl. Beispiel-
825 Konfiguration "sample-ngircd.conf") und bleiben auch dann bestehen,
826 wenn kein User mehr im Channel ist.
827 - neue IRC-Befehle: KICK, INVITE, ADMIN, CHANINFO; LIST wurde erweitert.
828 Mit dem neuen Befehl CHANINFO synchronisieren Server, die das IRC+-
829 Protokoll unterstuetzen, Channel-Modes und Topics. Fuer den ADMIN-Befehl
830 gibt es neue Konfigurationsoptionen (Sektion "Global"): "AdminInfo1",
831 "AdminInfo2" und "AdminEMail".
832 - Invite- und Ban-Lists implementiert.
833 - neue Konfigurationsoption "OperCanUseMode" (Sektion "Global"):
834 ist sie aktiv, koennen IRC-Operatoren immer Channel-Modes setzen.
835 - "Test-Suite" begonnen: mit "make check" wird sie durchlaufen.
837 ngIRCd 0.4.2, 29.04.2002
839 - IRC-Funktion LIST implementiert; bisher werden allerdings noch keine
840 Regular Expressions (bis auf "*") unterstuetzt.
842 ngIRCd 0.4.0, 01.04.2002
844 - WHO implementiert (bisher ohne komplette Unterstuetzung von Masks).
845 - stderr wird nun in eine Datei umgelenkt (/ngircd-<PID>.err).
846 Laeuft der Server nicht im Debug-Modus, so wird diese bei Programm-
847 ende geloescht. Sollte der Server abstuerzen, finden sich hier evtl.
848 zusaetzliche Informationen.
849 - Server-Gruppen implementiert: es wird immer nur zu einem Server in
850 einer Gruppe eine Verbindung aufgebaut, klappt es beim ersten Server
851 nicht, so wird der naechste probiert.
852 - Clients und Channels werden nicht mehr ueber ihren Namen, sondern
853 einen Hash-Wert gesucht: sollte deutlich schneller sein.
854 - neuer Kommandozeilen-Parameter "--configtest": die Konfiguration wird
855 gelesen und die dann verwendeten Werte angezeigt.
856 - Client-Mode "s" (Server Notices) implementiert.
857 - mit dem neuen Kommandozeilen-Parameter "--config"/"-f" kann eine
858 alternative Konfigurationsdatei angegeben werden.
859 - nach dem Start kann der ngIRCd, wenn er mit root-Rechten laeuft,
860 zu einer anderen User-ID und Group-ID wechseln.
862 ngIRCd 0.3.0, 02.03.2002
864 - bekommt der Server ein HUP-Signal, so startet er neu -- genau so, wie
865 er auf den IRC-Befehl RESTART reagiert.
866 - neuer Kommandozeilen-Schalter "--passive" (-p): wird er angegeben, so
867 verbindet sich der ngIRCd nicht mehr automatisch zu anderen Servern.
868 Zum Debuggen manchmal ganz praktisch :-)
869 - neue Befehle VERSION und KILL implementiert. NAMES korrigiert.
870 - Anpassungen an A/UX: gehoert nun auch zu den unterstuetzten Platformen.
871 - AWAY (und der User-Mode 'a') ist nun implementiert.
872 - der ngIRCd unterstuetzt nun Channel-Topics (TOPIC-Befehl).
873 - Channel- und Nicknames werden nun ordentlich validiert.
875 ngIRCd 0.2.0, 15.02.2002
877 - Begonnen Channel-Modes und User-Channel-Modes zu implementieren: der
878 Server versteht an User-Modes o und v, beachtet letzteres allerdings
879 noch nirgends. Bekannte (aber nicht beachtete!) Channel-Modes sind
880 bisher a, m, n, p, q, s und t. Diese Modes werden von Usern ange-
881 nommen, von anderen Servern werden auch unbekannte Modes uebernommen.
882 - Nach dem Connect eines Users werden LUSERS-Informationen angezeigt.
884 ngIRCd 0.1.0, 29.01.2002
886 - Channels implementiert, bisher jedoch noch ohne Channel-Modes, d.h.
887 es gibt keine Channel-Ops, kein Topic, kein "topic lock" etc. pp.
888 Chatten in Channels ist aber natuerlich moeglich ;-)
889 Dadurch zum Teil groessere Aenderungen an bisherigen Funktionen.
890 - neue Befehle fuer Channles: JOIN, PART und NJOIN.
891 - FAQ.txt in doc/ begonnen.
893 ngIRCd 0.0.3, 16.01.2002
895 - Server-Links vollstaendig implementiert: der ngIRCd kann nun auch
896 "Sub-Server" haben, also sowohl als Leaf-Node als auch Hub in einem
897 IRC-Netzwerk arbeiten.
898 - WHOIS wird nun immer an den "Original-Server" weitergeleitet.
899 - Parser handhabt Leerzeichen zw. Parametern nun etwas "lockerer".
900 - Kommandozeilen-Parser: Debug- und No-Daemon-Modus, Hilfe.
901 - ngIRCd wandelt sich nun in einen Daemon (Hintergrundprozess) um.
902 - neue Befehle: LUSERS, LINKS.
904 ngIRCd 0.0.2, 06.01.2002
906 - neuer Aufbau der Konfigurationsdatei,
907 - mehrere IRC-Operatoren koennen konfiguriert werden,
908 - Server-Links teilweise implementiert. Bisher kann der ngIRCd jedoch
909 nur "leafed server" sein, d.h. keine "Client-Server" haben.
911 ngIRCd 0.0.1, 31.12.2001
913 - erste oeffentliche Version von ngIRCd als "public preview" :-)
