-- ChangeLog --
+ngIRCd 23 (2015-11-16)
+
+ - Explicitly cast time_t to long when printing it out: this prevents
+ wrong sized data types on platforms where time_t doesn't equal a
+ long any more, for example on OpenBSD (which would result in garbled
+ output on those platforms).
+ - contrib/Debian/changelog: Fix email address.
+ - Documentation: Spelling fixes; update doc/Platforms.txt.
+
+ ngIRCd 23~rc1 (2015-09-06)
+ - Add ".clang_complete" file, which is used by the "linter-clang" package
+ of the Atom editor, for example.
+ - Make server-to-server protocol more robust: ngIRCd now catches more
+ errors on the server-to-server (S2S) protocol that could crash the
+ daemon before. This hasn't been a real problem because the IRC S2S
+ protocol is "trusted" by design, but the behavior is much better now.
+ Thanks to wowaname on #ngircd for pointing this out!
+ - Make platformtest.sh, autogen.sh, and ngircd.init more portable.
+ - Enables "reproducible builds" for ngIRCd: Use the optional BIRTHTIME
+ constant while building ngIRCd, which contains a time stamp for the
+ "Birth Date" information, in seconds since the epoch.
+ See <https://wiki.debian.org/ReproducibleBuilds>.
+ - Update "contrib/ngircd.service" file for systemd.
+ - INSTALL: Add deprecation notice for "PredefChannelsOnly" variable.
+ - Use "NOTICE *" before registration instead of "NOTICE AUTH". "AUTH" is
+ a valid nickname so sending notices to it is probably not a good idea.
+ Use "*" as the target instead as done with numerics when the nick is not
+ available. This mimics the behavior in Charybdis, IRCD-Hybrid, InspIRCd
+ 2.2, Plexus 4, etc. Closes #217.
+ The "NoticeAuth" configuration variable (ngircd.conf) has been renamed
+ to "NoticeBeforeRegistration" accordingly, but the old name is still
+ supported for compatibility reasons.
+ - Implement new channel mode "N" (regular users can't change their nick
+ name while on this channel). Closes #214.
+ - README, AUTHORS: Update mailing list and issue tracker URLs.
+ - Remove doc/GIT.txt (it is outdated), update doc/Contributing.txt:
+ ngIRCd uses GitHub, and Git itself is quite common today. So don't
+ include an own Git "mini HowTo" any longer.
+ - Specify session context for OpenSSL clients. This enables some OpenSSL
+ clients, including Pidgin and stunnel 5.06, to reuse a session.
+ Patch by Tom Ryder <tom@sanctum.geek.nz>, thanks! Closes #182.
+ - Keep track of who placed bans, invites, and excepts.
+ Idea and implementation by LucentW, Thanks! Closes #203.
+ - Make setgroups(3) function optional: For example, Interix is missing
+ this function, which prevented ngIRCd to build on this platform. When
+ setgroups(3) isn't available, a warning message is issued on startup.
+ - Implement numeric RPL_LISTSTART(321). lightIRC and other clients
+ expecting RPL_LISTSTART should now behave correctly.
+ Idea and implementation by LucentW, Thanks! Closes #207.
+ - Update ngircd.conf.5: "CloakUserToNick" hides user _and_ real name.
+ This closes #208.
+ - Fix case insensitive pattern matching: Up to now, only the the input
+ string became lowercased and was then compared to the pattern -- which
+ failed when the pattern itself wasn't all lowercase!
+ - Streamline the effect of "MorePrivacy" option: Update documentation
+ in ngircd.conf(5); don't hide channels for IRC Ops on LIST and don't
+ hide IP addresses/hostnames on WHOIS when "MorePrivacy" is in effect.
+ This closes #198.
+ - IRC operators now can kick anyone when "OperCanMode" is set.
+ Idea and implementation by LucentW, Thanks! Closes #202.
+ - Implement user mode "I": Hide channels on WHOIS: this mode prevents
+ ngIRCd from showing channels on WHOIS (IRC Operators can always see
+ the channel list).
+ Idea and implementation by LucentW, Thanks! Closes #197.
+ - INVITE command: Implement ERR_USERNOTONSERV(504) numeric and make sure
+ that the target user is on the same server when inviting other users
+ to local ("&") channels.
+ Idea by Cahata, thanks! Closes #183.
+ - INVITE command: Enforce 1 second penalty time, which prevents flooding
+ of the target client.
+ This closes #186. Reported by Cahata, thanks!
+ - MODE command: Always report channel creation time. Up to now when
+ receiving a MODE command, ngIRCd only reported the channel creation
+ time to clients that were members of the channel. This patch reports
+ the channel creation time to all clients, regardless if they are joined
+ to that channel or not. At least ircd-seven behaves like this.
+ This closes #188. Reported by Cahata, thanks!
+ - Update Xcode project for latest Xcode version (6.3).
+
+ngIRCd 22.1 (2015-04-06)
+
+ - Update doc/Platforms.txt and doc/FAQ.txt.
+ - Fix spelling of RPL_WHOISBOT message text.
+ - Don't send nick name as default PART reason: No other IRC daemon seems
+ to do this (today?). Closes #185.
+ Reported by Cahata in #ngircd, thanks!
+ - Fix "WHO #<chan>" showing invisible users and hiding all visible, the
+ logic was reversed! This bug has been introduced by commit c74115f2,
+ "Simplify mode checking on channels and users within a channel", ngIRCd
+ releases 21, 21.1, and 22 are affected :-( Problem reported by Cahata
+ in #ngircd, Thanks!
+ - Fix typo in src/testsuite/README
+ - Auth PING: Fix our information text for manual sending of "PONG". Up to
+ now, ngIRCd doesn't send a valid IRC command at all, oops!
+ - Auth PING: Fix internal time stamp conversion and don't send a prefix in
+ our PING command. The prefix confuses WeeChat, at least, which doesn't
+ send an appropriate PONG in the case ...
+ Debugging and patch by "wowaname" on #ngircd, thanks!
+ - Fix syntax of ERR_LISTFULL_MSG(478) numeric. Pointed out by "wowaname"
+ in #ngircd, thanks!
+ - Enhance debug messages while sending CHANINFO commands.
+ - Reset "last try" timer when enabling a passive server. This results in
+ a new connection attempt as soon as possible.
+ - Change log message for "Can't resolve address" and for IP address
+ forgeries.
+ - doc/HowToRelease.txt: Add note about the bug tracker.
+ - Update "CipherList" to not enable SSLv3 by default. Idea, initial patch,
+ and testing by Christoph Biedl <ngircd.anoy@manchmal.in-ulm.de>.
+ - Change ngIRCd test suite not to use DNS lookups: Different operating
+ systems do behave quite differently when doing DNS lookups, for example
+ "127.0.0.1" sometimes resolves to "localhost" and sometimes to
+ "localhost.localdomain" (for example OpenBSD). And other OS resolve
+ "localhost" to the real host name (for example Cygwin). So not using
+ DNS at all makes the test site much more portable.
+
ngIRCd 22 (2014-10-11)
- Match all list patterns case-insensitive: this affects the invite-,
"CC=xxx MAKE=yyy ./platformtest.sh" calling convention.
- Add instructions for setting up Atheme IRC services.
- Implement support for IRC capability handling, the new "CAP" command,
- and capablity "multi-prefix" which allows both the NAME and WHO command

handlers to return more than one "class prefix" to the client.
- Update Xcode project files: reference missing documentation files.
- Fix: Don't ignore "permission denied" errors when enabling chroot.

"user" and "local1" through "local7" are possible values; see syslog(3).

- - Change MOTD file handling: ngIRCd now caches the contens of the MOTD
+ - Change MOTD file handling: ngIRCd now caches the contents of the MOTD
file, so the daemon now requires a HUP signal or REHASH command to
re-read the MOTD file when its content changed.
- Startup: open /dev/null before chroot'ing the daemon.
- Include netinet/{in.h, in_systm.h} when checking for netinet/ip.h

- Added missing modes to USERMODES #define
ngIRCd 15~rc1 (2009-10-15)

ngIRCd 13 (2008-12-25)
- Fixed ./configure test for TCP Wrappers: now it runs on Mac OS X as well.
- Enhanced configure script: now you can pass an (optional) search path
to all --with-XXX parameters, e. g. "--with-ident=/opt/ident".
- - Removed typedefs for the native C datatypes.
+ - Removed typedefs for the native C data types.
Use stdbool.h / inttypes.h if available.
- New configuration option "OperServerMode" to enable a workaround needed
when running an network with ircd2 servers and "OperCanUseMode" enabled
