-- ChangeLog --
-ngIRCd Release 19
-
- - New numeric RPL_WHOISHOST_MSG(378), which returns the DNS hostname
+ngIRCd 21
+
+ - Enforce "penalty times" on error conditions more consistently and in
+ more places. Now most error codes sent back from the IRC server to the
+ client should result in a 2 second "penalty".
+ - Implement a new configuration option "AllowedChannelTypes" that lists
+ all allowed channel types (channel prefixes) for newly created channels
+ on the local server. By default, all supported channel types are allowed.
+ If set to the empty string, local clients can't create new channels at
+ all, which equals the old "PredefChannelsOnly = yes" setting.
+ This change deprecates the "PredefChannelsOnly" variable, too, but it is
+ still supported and translated to the apropriate "AllowedChannelTypes"
+ setting. When the old "PredefChannelsOnly" variable is processed, a
+ warning message is logged. (Closes bug #152)
+ - Add support for "client certificate fingerprinting". When a client
+ passes an SSL certificate to the server, the "fingerprint" will be
+ forwarded in the network which enables IRC services to identify the
+ user using this certificate and not using passwords.
+ - IRC Operator names, as defined in ngircd.conf, are logged now when
+ handling successful OPER commands.
+ - Some error conditions while handling IRC commands, like "permission
+ denied" or "need more parameters", result in more penalty times.
+ - The numeric replies of some commands became split too early which
+ resulted in more numeric reply lines than necessary.
+ - Implement a new configuration option "IncludeDir" in the "[Options]"
+ section that can be used to specify a directory which can contain
+ further configuration files and configuration file snippets matching
+ the pattern "*.conf". These files are read in after the main server
+ configuration file ("ngircd.conf" by default) has been read in and
+ parsed. The default is "$SYSCONFDIR/ngircd.conf.d", so that it is
+ possible to adjust the configuration only by placing additional files
+ into this directory. (Closes bug #157)
+ - Fix use-after-free in the Lists_CheckReason() function, which is used
+ to check if a client is a member of a particular ban/invite/... list.
+ - Xcode: fix detection of host OS, vendor, and CPU type.
+ - OS X PackageMaker: use relative path names in project files and package
+ with correct file permissions (requires root privileges on "make").
+ - Add Travis-CI configuration file (".travis.yml") to project.
+ - Look for possible cloaked Masks in Lists. Users with +x usermode can
+ be banned with their cloaked hostname now.
+ - Don't read SSL client data before DNS resolver is finished which could
+ have resulted in discarding the resolved client hostname and IDENT
+ reply afterwards, because in some situations (timing dependent) the
+ NICK and USER commands could have already been read in from the client,
+ stored in the buffer, and been processed.
+ Thanks to Julian Brost for reporting the issue and testing, and to
+ Federico G. Schwindt <fgsch@lodoss.net> for helping to debug it!
+ - Increase password length limit to 64 characters. (Closes bug #154)
+ - doc/Services.txt: Update Anope status and URL.
+ - Clean up Xcode project file, remove outdated files, add missing ones.
+ - Update Doxygen configuration file.
+ - configure: search for iconv_open as well as libiconv_open, because
+ on some installations iconv_open() is actually libiconv_open().
+ iconv_open() is the glibc version while libiconv_open() is the
+ libiconv version, now both variants are supported. (Closes bug #151)
+ - ngIRCd now accepts user names including "@" characters, saves the
+ unmodified name for authentication but stores only the part in front
+ of the "@" character as "IRC user name". And the latter is how
+ ircd2.11, Bahamut, and irc-seven behave as well. (Closes bug #155)
+ - Lots of IRC "information functions" like ADMIN, INFO, ... now accept
+ server masks and names of connected users (in addition to server names)
+ for specifying the target server of the command. (Closes bug #153)
+ - Implement a new configuration option "IdleTimeout" in the "[Limits]"
+ section of the configuration file which can be used to set a timeout
+ in seconds after which the whole daemon will shutdown when no more
+ connections are left active after handling at least one client.
+ The default is 0, "never".
+ This can be useful for testing or when ngIRCd is started using "socket
+ activation" with systemd(8), for example.
+ - Implement support for systemd(8) "socket activation".
+ - contrib/README: add description for more files.
+ - Enable WHOIS to display information about IRC Services using the new
+ numeric 310(RPL_WHOISSERVICE) This numeric is used for this purpose by
+ InspIRCd, for example -- but as usual, other numerics are in use, too,
+ like 613 in UltimateIRCd ...
+ Please note that neither the Operator (+o) not the "bot status" (+B)
+ of an IRC service id displayed in the output.
+ - Exit message: use singular & plural :-)
+ - autogen.sh: Check for autoconf/automake wrapper scripts
+ - Add missing punctuation marks in log messages, adjust some severity
+ levels, and make SSL-related messages more readable.
+ - AUTHORS file: Update list of contributors.
+ - Update systemd(8) example configuration files in ./contrib/ directory:
+ the "ngircd.service" file now uses the "forking" service type which
+ enhances the log messages shown by "systemctl status ngircd.service",
+ and the new "ngircd.socket" file configures a systemd socket that
+ configures a socket for ngIRCd and launches the daemon on demand.
+ - Enhance help system and the HELP command: now a "help text file" can be
+ set using the new configuration option "HelpFile" ("global" section),
+ which is read in and parsed on server startup and configuration reload,
+ and then is used to output individual help texts to specific topics.
+ Please see the file ./doc/Commands.txt for details.
+
+ngIRCd 20.3 (2013-08-23)
+
+ - Security: Fix a denial of service bug (server crash) which could happen
+ when the configuration option "NoticeAuth" is enabled (which is NOT the
+ default) and ngIRCd failed to send the "notice auth" messages to new
+ clients connecting to the server (CVE-2013-5580).
+
+ngIRCd 20.2 (2013-02-15)
+
+ - Security: Fix a denial of service bug in the function handling KICK
+ commands that could be used by arbitrary users to to crash the daemon
+ (CVE-2013-1747).
+ - WHO command: Use the currently "displayed hostname" (which can be cloaked!)
+ for hostname matching, not the real one. In other words: don't display all
+ the cloaked users on a specific real hostname!
+ - configure: The header file "netinet/in_systm.h" already is optional in
+ ngIRCd, so don't require it in the configure script. Now ngIRCd can be
+ built on Minix 3 again :-)
+ - Return better "Connection not registered as server link" errors: Now ngIRCd
+ returns a more specific error message for numeric ERR_NOTREGISTERED(451)
+ when a regular user tries to use a command that isn't allowed for users but
+ for servers.
+ - Don't report ERR_NEEDMOREPARAMS(461) when a MDOE command with more modes
+ than nicknames is handled, as well as for channel limit and key changes
+ without specifying the limit or key parameters.
+ This is how a lot (all?) other IRC servers behave, including ircd2.11,
+ InspIRCd, and ircd-seven. And because of clients (tested with Textual and
+ mIRC) sending bogus MODE commands like "MODE -ooo nick", end-users got the
+ expected result as well as correct but misleading error messages ...
+ - Correctly detect when SSL subsystem must be initialized and take
+ outgoing connections (server links!) into account, too.
+ - autogen.sh: Enforce serial test harness on GNU automake >=1.13. The
+ new parallel test harness which is enabled by default starting with
+ automake 1.13 isn't compatible with our test suite.
+ And don't use "egrep -o", instead use "sed", because it isn't portable
+ and not available on OpenBSD, for example.
+
+ngIRCd 20.1 (2013-01-02)
+
+ - Allow ERROR command on server and service links only, ignore them and
+ add a penalty time on all other link types.
+ - Enforced mode setting by IRC Operators: Only check the channel user
+ modes of the initiator if he is joined to the channel and not an IRC
+ operator enforcing modes (which requires the configuration option
+ "OperCanUseMode" to be enabled), because trying to check channel user
+ modes of a non-member results in an assertion when running with debug
+ code or could crash the daemon otherwise. This closes bug #147, thanks
+ to James Kirwill <james.kirwill@bk.ru> for tracking this down!
+ - Fix build system to cope with spaces in path names.
+ - Code cleanups, mostly to fix build warnings on Cygwin.
+
+ngIRCd 20 (2012-12-17)
+
+ - Allow user names ("INDENT") up to 20 characters when ngIRCd has not
+ been configured for "strict RFC mode". This is useful if you are using
+ external (PAM) authentication mechanisms that require longer user names.
+ Patch suggested by Brett Smith <brett@w3.org>, see
+ <http://arthur.barton.de/pipermail/ngircd-ml/2012-October/000579.html>.
+
+ ngIRCd 20~rc2 (2012-12-02)
+ - Rework cloaked hostname handling and implement the "METADATA cloakhost"
+ subcommand: Now ngIRCd uses two fields internally, one to store the
+ "real" hostname and one to save the "cloaked" hostname. This allows
+ "foreign servers" (aka "IRC services") to alter the real and cloaked
+ hostnames of clients without problems, even when the user itself issues
+ additional "MODE +x" and "MODE -x" commands.
+ - RPL_UMODEIS: send correct target name, even on server links.
+ - Update platformtest.sh to follow autoconf changes and only generate
+ the "configure" script when it is missing.
+ - Fix the test suite to correctly execute test scripts even when stdout
+ is redirected.
+ - Fix some compiler warnings on NetBSD and OpenBSD.
+
+ ngIRCd 20~rc1 (2012-11-11)
+ - Update doc/Services.txt: describe the upcoming version of Anope 1.9.8,
+ then including a protocol module for ngIRCd. And remove our own patches
+ in ./contrib/Anope because they aren't supported any more ...
+ - Implement new "METADATA" command which can be used by remote servers
+ and IRC services to update client metadata like the client info text
+ ("real name"), user name, and hostname, and use this command to
+ configure an cloaked hostname (user mode "+x") on remote servers:
+ This prevents "double cloaking" of hostnames and even cloaked
+ hostnames are in sync on all servers supporting "METADATA" now.
+ - Fix error message when trying to join non-predefined channels and the
+ "PredefChannelsOnly" configuration option is set.
+ - Implement new IRC "SVSNICK" command to allow remote servers (and IRC
+ services) to change nicknames of already registered users. The SVSNICK
+ command itself doesn't change the nickname, but it becomes forwarded
+ to the server to which the user is connected to. And then this server
+ initiates the real nickname changing using regular NICK commands.
+ This allows to run mixed networks with old servers not supporting the
+ SVSNICK command, because SVSNICK commands for nicknames on such servers
+ are silently ignored and don't cause a desynchronization of the network.
+ - Make server reconnect time a little bit more random, so that two
+ servers trying to connect to each other asynchronously don't try this
+ in exactly the same time periods and kick each other off ...
+ - Don't accept connections for servers already being linked: there was a
+ time frame that could result in one connection overwriting the other,
+ e. g. the incoming connection overwriting the status of the outgoing
+ one. And this could lead to all kind of weirdness (even crashes!) later
+ on: now such incoming connections are dropped.
+ - New configuration option "MaxListSize" to configure the maximum number
+ of channels returned by a LIST command. The default is 100, as before.
+ - Implement user mode "b", "block messages": when a user has set mode "b",
+ all private messages and notices to this user are blocked if they don't
+ originate from a registered user, an IRC Op, server or service. The
+ originator gets an error numeric sent back in this case,
+ ERR_NONONREG_MSG (486), which is used by UnrealIRCd, too. (Closes #144)
+ - WHOIS: Not only show RPL_WHOISHOST_MSG to local IRC operators, but show
+ it to all IRC operators in the network. And don't show it to anybody if
+ the "more privacy" configuration option is enabled. (Closes #134)
+ - Test suite: make expect scripts more verbose displaying dots for each
+ reply of the server that it is waiting for.
+ - WHOIS: Implement numeric RPL_WHOISMODES_MSG (379) and show user modes in
+ the reply of the WHOIS command for the user himself or, if MorePrivacy
+ isn't set, for request initiated by an IRC operator. (Closes #129)
+ - Implement channel mode "V" (invite disallow): If the new channel mode
+ "V" is set, the INVITE command becomes invalid and all clients get the
+ new ERR_NOINVITE_MSG (518) reply. (Closes #143)
+ - KICK-protect IRC services.
+ - Implement channel mode "Q" and user mode "q": Both modes protect users
+ from channel kicks: only IRC operators and servers can kick users having
+ mode "q" or in channels with mode "Q". (Closes #141)
+ - Debian: require "telnet" or "telnet-ssl" for building and enable
+ CHARCONV in ngircd-full[-dbg] variants.
+ - Send RPL_REHASHING (382) numeric if a REHASH command was accepted.
+ - Fix spelling and variable names in some log messages.
+ - Allow users to "cloak" their hostname only when the configuration
+ variable "CloakHostModeX" (introduced in 19.2) is set. Otherwise, only
+ IRC operators, other servers, and services are allowed to set the user
+ mode "+x": this prevents regular users from changing their hostmask to
+ the name of the IRC server itself, which confused quite a few people ;-)
+ (Closes #133)
+ - New configuration option "OperChanPAutoOp": If disabled, IRC operators
+ don't become channel operators in persistent channels when joining.
+ Enabled by default, which has been the behavior of ngIRCd up to this
+ patch. (Closes #135)
+ - Allow IRC operators to see secret (+s) channels in LIST command as long
+ as the "MorePrivacy" configuration option isn't enabled in the
+ configuration file. (Closes #136)
+ - Enhance build system: Support new (>=1.12) and old (<=1.11) GNU automake
+ versions, update checks for required and optional features, enable
+ colored test output of automake (if available), rename configure.in to
+ more modern configure.ac, include .mailmap and all build-system files in
+ distribution archives and no longer require a GIT tree to detect the
+ correct version string.
+ - Update documentation: add doc/Contributing.txt and include version
+ numbers in doc/Modes.txt.
+ - Free all listen ports on initialization: now listen ports can be
+ reconfigured on runtime using a configuration reload.
+ - Initialize SSL when needed only, and disable SSL on errors.
+ - Implement new (optional) IRC+ "CHARCONV" command to set a client
+ character set that the server translates all messages to/from UTF-8.
+ This feature requires the "libiconv" library and must be enabled using
+ the new "--with-iconv" option of the ./configure script. See
+ doc/Protocol.txt for details. (Closes #109)
+ - Allow limited punctuation in usernames, for better PAM integration.
+ - Correctly re-initialize signal handlers on RESTART commands.
+ - Show a warning on startup if the configuration file is not a full path:
+ ngIRCd is a long-running process and changes its working directory to
+ "/" to not block mounted filesystems and the like when running as daemon
+ ("not in the foreground"); therefore the path to the configuration file
+ must be relative to "/" (or the chroot() directory), which basically is
+ "not relative", to ensure that "kill -HUP" and the "REHASH" command work
+ as expected later on. (Closes #127)
+ - Make the "&SERVER" channel definable in a [Channel] configuration block,
+ which enables server operators to overwrite the built-in topic and
+ channel modes. (Closes #131)
+ - Don't limit list size of "WHO #channel" commands, because it makes no
+ sense to not return all the users in that channel, so I removed the
+ check. But if there are more than MAX_RPL_WHO(25) replies, the client
+ requesting the list will be "penalized" one second more, then 2 in
+ total. (Closes #125)
+ - Make ngIRCd buildable using the kqueue() IO interface on FreeBSD 4.x.
+ - Fix the "NoticeAuth" configuration option when using SSL connections and
+ enhance the message to show the hostname and IDENT reply of the client.
+ - Introduce numeric RPL_HOSTHIDDEN_MSG (396): This numeric is sent to the
+ client each time it changes its displayed hostname using "MODE +/-x",
+ and if "CloakHost" is set right after the MOTD has been sent.
+ - Fix USERHOST not displaying the correctly cloaked hostname.
+ - Implement user mode "B" ("Bot flag"): it is settable and unsettable by
+ every (non-restricted) client. This is how Unreal and InspIRCd do
+ behave, and so do we :-)
+ - Dynamically allocate memory for connection passwords: This a) saves
+ memory for clients not using passwords at all and b) allows for
+ "arbitrarily" long passwords.
+ - Implement channel mode "M": Only the server, identified users and IRC
+ operators are able to talk in such a channel.
+ - Block nicknames that are reserved for services and are defined using the
+ configuration variable "ServiceMask" in "Server" blocks; And this
+ variable now can handle more than one mask separated by commas.
+ - Now "make uninstall" removes the installed "ngircd.conf" file, if it is
+ still equal to our "sample-ngircd.conf" file and therefore hasn't been
+ modified by the user. If it has been modified, it isn't removed and a
+ notice is displayed to the user. And "make install" now displays a
+ message when no ngircd.conf file exists and the "sample-ngircd.conf"
+ file will be installed as a starting point.
+ - Add contrib/ngircd.service, a systemd service file for ngircd.
+ - Implemented XOP channel user modes: "Half Op" ("+h", prefix "%") can set
+ the channel modes +imntvIbek and kick all +v and normal users; "Admin"
+ ("+a", prefix "&") can set channel modes +imntvIbekoRsz and kick all +o,
+ +h, +v and normal users; and "Owner" ("+q", prefix "~") can set channel
+ modes +imntvIbekoRsz and kick all +a, +o, +h, +v and normal users.
+ - Implement hashed cloaked hostnames for both the "CloakHost" and
+ "CloakHostModeX" configuration options: now the admin can use the new
+ '%x' placeholder to insert a hashed version of the clients hostname,
+ and the new configuration option "CloakHostSalt" defines the salt for
+ the hash function. When "CloakHostSalt" is not set (the default), a
+ random salt will be generated after each server restart. (Closes #133)
+
+ngIRCd Release 19.2 (2012-06-19)
+
+ - doc/Capabilities.txt: document "multi-prefix" capability
+
+ ngIRCd 19.2~rc1 (2012-06-13)
+ - New configuration option "CloakHostModeX" to configure the hostname
+ that gets used for IRC clients which have user mode "+x" enabled.
+ Up to now, the name of the IRC server itself has been used for this,
+ which still is the default when "CloakHostModeX" isn't set.
+ - Correctly handle asynchronously re-established server links: a race
+ condition could let the daemon loose track of an already re-established
+ incoming server link while preparing its own outgoing connection.
+ Peers that both try to connect each other could have been affected.
+ - Log a debug message when SIGUSR2 is handled in debug mode.
+ - Only allow alphanumeric characters in user-supplied user names of
+ USER command and IDENT replies.
+ - Change wording of "TLS initialized" message to make it more consistent.
+ - Don't leak file descriptors on error path when creating "PID files".
+ - Add missing mode "r" to CHANMODES in 005 "ISUPPORT" numeric.
+ - Update doc/Modes.txt and doc/Platforms.txt documents.
+ - contrib/platformtest.sh: correctly detect Open64 C compiler and handle
+ "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.
+ - FAQ: enhance description of chroot setup.
+
+ngIRCd Release 19.1 (2012-03-19)
+
+ - Fix gcc warning (v4.6.3), initialize "list" variable to NULL.
+ - Fix typos: "recieved" -> "received", "Please not" -> "Please note",
+ and fix lintian(1) warning ""hyphen-used-as-minus-sign", too.
+ - Really include _all_ patches to build the Anope module into the
+ distribution archive ... ooops!
+ - getpid.sh: Fix test case error for Debian using sbuild(1).
+ - Don't log "ngIRCd hello message" two times when starting up.
+
+ngIRCd Release 19 (2012-02-29)
+
+ - Update build system: bump config.guess and config.sub files used by
+ GNU autoconf/automake to recent versions.
+ - Fix configuration file parser: don't accept "[SSL]" blocks in the
+ configuration file when no SSL support is built in ngIRCd.
+ - Fix building ngIRCd with old gcc versions (e. g. 2.7.2).
+ - Correctly re-open syslog logging after reading of configuration
+ file: Syslog logging has been initialized before reading the
+ configuration, so ngIRCd always used the default facility and ignored
+ the "SyslogFacility" configuration option ...
+ Thanks to Patrik Schindler for reporting this issue!
+
+ 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 host name
(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
and receiver are on the same channel. This prevents private flooding
by completely unknown clients.
- New RPL_WHOISREGNICK_MSG(307) numeric in WHOIS command replies: it
- indicates if a nick name is registered (if user mode 'R' set).
+ indicates if a nickname is registered (if user mode 'R' set).
- Limit channel invite, ban, and exception lists to 50 entries and fix
duplicate check and error messages when adding already listed entries
or deleting no (longer) existing ones.
- 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.
commands: this reduces the possibility of flooding channels with
commands like "PRIVMSG/NOTICE #a,#n,#c,... :message" a little bit.
Problem noticed by Cahata, thanks!
- - Display correct error message when "Server{UID|GID}" variabe in the

- Update Copyright notices for 2012 :-)
- JOIN command: don't stop handling of channel lists when a single

"identified" and keep the "~" character prepended to their supplied
- ./configure: Fix logic and quoting of poll() detection code: only use
poll() when poll.h exists as well.
- Suppress 'Can't create pre-defined channel: invalid name: ""' message.

- sample-ngircd.conf: show correct default for "PAM" variable: The
default of "PAM" is "yes" when ngIRCd has been configured to use it,
so show the correct default value in the sample configuration file.
The bug has been introduced starting with ngIRCd 17 ... :-(
(commit ID 6ebb31ab35e)
- Added doc/Modes.txt: document modes supported by ngIRCd.

These channel user modes aren't used for anything at the moment,
but ngIRCd knows that these three modes are "channel user modes"

argument. Like unknown user and channel modes, these modes are saved
and forwarded to other servers, but ignored otherwise.
- Correctly inform clients when other servers change their user modes.

supplied by the IRC client.
- doc/Protocol.txt: Update description of the CHANINFO and WEBIRC commands.
- Doxygen'ify (document) much more source files; code cleanup ...
- configure script: correctly indent IPv6 yes/no summary output.
