ngIRCd Release 19
+ ngIRCd 19~rc1 (2012-02-12)
+ - Enhance command limits for server links: the limit now is dependent
+ on the number of users connected in the network and higher while
+ servers are joining the network to make the login of servers faster.
+ - Log more information about server synchronization.
+ - Update preliminary ngIRCd protocol module for Anope 1.9.6, which now
+ is the only supported version.
+ - New numeric RPL_WHOISHOST_MSG(378), which returns the DNS hostname
+ (if available) and the IP address of a client in the WHOIS reply.
+ Only the user itself and local IRC operators get this numeric.
- Implement channel exception list (mode 'e'). This allows a channel
operator to define exception masks that allow users to join the
channel even when a "ban" would match and prevent them from joining:
- Fix both ERR_SUMMONDISABLED(445) and ERR_USERSDISABLED(446) replies.
- MODE command: correctly return ERR_UNKNOWNMODE(472) numeric for
unknown channel modes, instead of ERR_UMODEUNKNOWNFLAG(501).
- - ISUPPORT(005) numeric: add "O", "R", and "z" modes to "CHANMODES".
+ - ISUPPORT(005) numeric: add "O", "R", and "z" modes to "CHANMODES",
+ add "EXCEPTS=e" and "INVEX=I", add "MAXLIST=beI:50".
- Limit the number of list items in the reply of LIST (100), WHO (25),
WHOIS (10), and WHOWAS (25) commands.
- LIST command: compare pattern case insensitive.
- Log better error messages when rejecting clients.
- Implement IRC commands "GLINE" and "KLINE" to ban users. G-Lines are
synchronized between server on peering, K-Lines are local only.
+ If you use "*!<user>@<host>" or "*!*@<host>" masks, these connections
+ are blocked even before the user is fully logged in (before PASS,
+ NICK, and USER commands have been processed) and before the child
+ processes for authentication are forked, so resource usage is smaller.
- Xcode: update project file for Xcode 4.2 and define HAVE_GAI_STRERROR
for Mac OS X Xcode builds.
- ./configure: Fix logic and quoting of poll() detection code: only use
