+ngIRCd 25 (2019-01-23)
+
+ - Fix documentation of MotdPhrase length, which actually is 126 characters:
+ update sample configuration file as well as the man page. Thanks to
+ shankari <shankari@eecs.berkeley.edu>.
+ Closes #254.
+ - Implement new configuration option "MaxPenaltyTime", which configures the
+ maximum penalty time increase in seconds, per penalty event. Set to -1 for
+ no limit (the default), 0 to disable penalties altogether. ngIRCd doesn't
+ use penalty increases higher than 2 seconds during normal operation, so
+ values higher than 1 rarely make sense.
+ Disabling (or reducing) penalties can greatly speed up "make check" runs
+ for example, see below, but are mostly a debugging feature and normally
+ not meant to be used on production systems!
+ Some example timings running "make check" from my macOS workstation:
+ - MaxPenaltyTime not set: 4:41,79s
+ - "MaxPenaltyTime = 1": 3:14,71s
+ - "MaxPenaltyTime = 0": 25,46s
+ Closes #249 and #251.
+ - Fix compilation without deprecated OpenSSL APIs. Thanks to Rosen Penev
+ <rosenp@gmail.com> for the patch!
+ Closes #252.
+ - Update Xcode project for latest Xcode version (10.0)
+ - Fix some compiler warnings of Apple Xcode/Clang
+ - Allow a 5th parameter in WEBIRC. Thanks to "ItsOnlyBinary".
+ Closes #247.
+ - Update some more documentation files and source code comments.
+ - Platforms.txt: Add and update systems.
+
+ ngIRCd 25~rc1 (2018-08-11)
+ - Update config.guess (2018-03-08) and config.sub (2018-03-08) files.
+ - Correctly retry to establish an outgoing connections when forking of the
+ resolver sub-process failed (for example because of lack of free memory).
+ Until now, such a connection was never retried once this error was hit.
+ Thanks to Robert Obermeier for reporting this bug!
+ Closes #243.
+ - Fix a "use after free" bug which can be triggered on a newly established
+ connection when the daemon handles an ERROR command received from the peer
+ during client login. Thanks a lot to Joseph Bisch <joseph.bisch@gmail.com>
+ for discovering and reporting this issue!
+ - Only send TOPIC updates to a channel when the topic actually changed:
+ This prevents the channel from becoming flooded by unnecessary TOPIC update
+ messages, that can happen when IRC services try to enforce a certain topic
+ but which is already set (at least on the local server), for example.
+ Therefore still forward it to all servers, but don't inform local clients
+ (still update setter and timestamp information, though).
+ - Update Xcode project for latest Xcode version (9.2). This includes adding
+ missing and deleting obsolete file references.
+ - Handle user mode "C" ("Only users that share a channel are allowed to send
+ messages") like user mode "b" ("block private messages and notices"): allow
+ messages from servers, services, and IRC Operators, too. Change proposed by
+ "wowaname" back in 2015 in #ngircd, thanks!
+ - Fix some compiler warnings.
+ - Add contrib/ngircd.logcheck: Some sample logcheck(8) rules.
+ - Allow IRC Ops and remote servers to KILL service clients: such clients
+ behave like regular users, therefore IRC operators and servers should be
+ able to KILL them: for example to resolve nick collisions.
+ Closes #242.
+ - Don't forward KILLs to other servers if they've been blocked locally:
+ This prevents clients from killing IRC services, for example.
+ Closes #238 and #239.
+ - Fix a cross-compiler issue related to the Get_Error() function.
+ Closes #240 and #241.
+ - Update ./doc/Services.txt, enhance configuration examples.
+
+ngIRCd 24 (2017-01-20)
+
+ - Make sure that ./contrib/platformtest.sh aborts when ./autogen.sh fails.
+ - Update config.guess (2016-10-02) and config.sub (2016-11-04) files.
+ - Build Debian packages with OpenSSL instead of GnuTLS: OpenSSL allows
+ to reload used certificates on runtime for example (which is very
+ useful when using Let's Encrypt), and therefore is preferred. And
+ explicitly specify the "source format".
+ - Fix handling of connection pool allocation and enlargement: up to now,
+ the daemon only enlarged its connection pool when accepting new incoming
+ client or server connections, not when establishing new outgoing server
+ links, which could lead to problems when hitting the configured limit,
+ see "MaxConnections". Thanks to Lukas Braun (k00mi) for reporting this!
+ Closes #231.
ngIRCd 24~rc1 (2017-01-07)
