+ngIRCd 21.1 (2014-03-25)
+
+ - Don't ignore but use the server password when PAM is compiled in but
+ disabled. Thanks to Roy Sindre Norangshol <roy.sindre@norangshol.no>!
+ - doc/Platforms.txt: Update from master branch.
+ - Really kill connections that send "spoofed prefixes" on non-server links.
+ This fixes commit 6cbe1308 which only killed the connection when the
+ spoofed prefix itself belonged to a non-server client.
+ - CHARCONV command: Fix handling conversion errors, don't overwrite already
+ converted text!
+ - doc/Services.txt: Update information for Anope 2.x.
+ - Correctly use cloaked IRC masks on "INVITE nickname": The cloaked IRC mask
+ of a user is his visible mask, so the daemon has to use it for generating
+ the "one time" entries for the invite list of the given channel, and not
+ the "real" mask which will never match while the target client is "+x", and
+ even worse, will disclose the real mask on "MODE #channel +I" commands :-/
+ Bug reported by Cahata on #ngircd, thanks!
+ - configure: Only link "contrib/Debian" if it exists. This isn't the case on
+ "VPATH builds", for example.
+ - Use $(MKDIR_P) instead of $(mkinstalldirs) in Makefile's and test for
+ "mkdir -p" using AC_PROG_MKDIR_P in "configure".
+ - Fix configure script and "make check" for TCP Wrappers (problems spotted on
+ OpenBSD): add missing #include's and static variables, and add libwrap at
+ the end of the configure run because if libwrap becomes added earlier,
+ other tests may fail.
+ - configure: add support for the LDFLAGS_END and LIBS_END variables to add
+ linker flags and libraries at the end of the configure run (CFLAGS_END has
+ been implemented already).
+ - platformtest.sh and Makefile.am: Don't use "test -e", it isn't portable.
+ - Update Copyright notices for 2014 :-)
+ - Fix permanent {G|K}LINES (with a timeout of 0 seconds).
+ - WEBIRC: Don't set the hostname received by the WEBIRC command when DNS
+ lookups are disabled, but use the IP address instead.
+ Reported by Toni Spets <toni.spets@iki.fi>, thanks!
+ - Check for working getaddrinfo() function: At least AIX 4.3.3 and 5.1 have a
+ broken implementation of getaddrinfo() which doesn't handle "0" as numeric
+ service correctly. This patch adds a configure check for this case and
+ changes all calling functions to only use getaddrinfo() if it "works".
+ See <http://www.stacken.kth.se/lists/heimdal-discuss/2004-05/msg00059.html>
+ - Only use the unsetenv() function when it is available (AIX 4.3 doesn't
+ support it, for example).
+ - Make sure that the source code is still compatible with the "ansi2knr" tool
+ and builds using non-ANSI K&R C compilers. Tested with Apple C on A/UX.
+ - Fix building ngIRCd without support for ZLIB compression. Reported by
+ "der_baer" on #ngircd, thanks!
+
+ngIRCd 21 (2013-10-30)
+
+ - ./contrib/Debian/ngircd.init: Make sure no stale PID file is left over
+ when (re-)starting ngIRCd.
+ - Change ./contrib/platformtest.sh and update ./doc/Platforms.txt to
+ allow user names up to 8 characters.
+ - Call arc4random_stir() in forked subprocesses, when available. This
+ is required by FreeBSD <10 and current NetBSD at least to correctly
+ initialize the "arc4" random number generator on these platforms.
+ - Update our own Debian package configuration and fix the default path
+ of the "HelpFile" of the "full" package variants.
+
+ ngIRCd 21~rc2 (2013-10-20)
+ - Report the correct configuration file name on configuration errors,
+ support longer configuration lines, and warn when lines are truncated.
+ - Use arc4random() function to generate "random" numbers, when available.
+ - platformtest.sh: Detect clang compiler, and clean up GIT source tree
+ before building (when possible).
+ - Update (date of) manual pages.
+ - Update "Upgrade Information" in INSTALL file, add more systems to
+ doc/Platforms.txt, and fix spelling in NEWS and ChangeLog files =:)
+ - Fix remaining compiler warnings on OpenBSD.
+
+ ngIRCd 21~rc1 (2013-10-05)
- Actually KILL clients on GLINE/KLINE. (Closes bug #156)
- Adjust log messages for invalid and spoofed prefixes, which cleans up
logging of commands related to already KILL'ed clients. And don't
unnecessary duplicates.
- Add support to show all user links using the "STATS L" (uppercase)
command (restricted to IRC Operators).
- - Fixed blocking of server reconnects in some error confitions.
+ - Fixed blocking of server reconnects in some error configurations.
- Don't ignore SSL-related errors during startup any more: abort startup
when SSL is requested by the configuration but can't be initialized and
- don't continue only listening on plain text communicaiton ports.
+ don't continue only listening on plain text communication ports.
(Closes bug #163)
- Implement configurable SSL cipher list selection for GnuTLS and OpenSSL
using the new configuration option "CipherList". In addition, this
is "syntax error") when there are too many parameters.
- Clean up lots of permission and parameter checks in functions handling
IRC commands; and more consistently add penalty times on errors.
- - Fix error numeric of WHOIS when no nick namename has been provided:
- as per RFC it shoud be ERR_NONICKNAMEGIVEN(431).
+ - Fix error numeric of WHOIS when no nick name has been provided:
+ as per RFC it should be ERR_NONICKNAMEGIVEN(431).
- Only log "IDENT ... no result" messages when an IDENT looked took place
and didn't return any data, not when IDENT has been disabled.
- Show connection flag "s" (SSL) in RPL_TRACE{LINK|SERVER} messages: now
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"
+ still supported and translated to the appropriate "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
- 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
+ - Look for possible cloaked Masks in Lists. Users with +x user mode 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
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 is 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
the hash function. When "CloakHostSalt" is not set (the default), a
random salt will be generated after each server restart. (Closes #133)
