-ngIRCd CVS-HEAD

+ngIRCd CVSHEAD
+
+ - Two new configuration options: "ChrootDir" and "MotdPhrase", thanks to
+ Benjamin Pineau <ben@zouh.org>. Now you can force the daemon to change
+ its root and working directory to something "safe". MotdPhrase is used
+ to define an "MOTD string" instead of a whole file, useful if the
+ "real" MOTD file would be outside the "jail".
+ - INVITE- and BAN-lists become synchronized between IRC+ servers when
+ establishing new connections, if the peer supports this as well.
+ - Reorganized autogen.sh and configure scripts.
+ - Fixed a wrong assert() which could cause the daemon to exit spuriously
+ when closing down connections.
+ - Better logging of decompression errors returned by zlib.
+ - Servers other than the destination server didn't clean up the invite
+ list of an "invite-only" channel properly when an INVITE'd user joined.
+ - Changed the reply of the MODE command to match the syntax of the
+ original ircd exactly: the unnecessary but missing ":" before the last
+ parameter has been added.
+ - Fixed TRACE: don't output "Serv" lines for ourself; display more info.
+ - Results of the resolver (hostnames and IDENT names) are discarded after
+ the client is successfully registered with the server.
+ - Better logging while establishing and shutting down connections.
+ - The type of service (TOS) of all sockets is set to "interactive" now.
+ - Added short command line option "-t" as alternative to "--configtest".
+ - Added optional support for "IDENT" lookups on incoming connections. You
+ have to enable this function with the ./configure switch "--with-ident".
+ The default is not to do IDENT lookups.
+
+ngIRCd 0.7.7 (2004-02-05)
+
+ - The info text ("real name") of users is set to "-" if none has been
+ specified using the USER command (e. g. "USER user * * :"). Reason:
+ the original ircd doesn't like empty ones and would KILL such users.
+ - Fixed (optional) TCP Wrapper test which was broken and could result in
+ false results. Thanks to Fuminori Tanizaki <tany@mcnet.ad.jp>!
+ - Removed "USE_" prefixes of configuration #defines.
+
+ngIRCd 0.7.6 (2003-12-05)
+
+ - Fixed abort() ("server crash") when INVITE'ing users to nonexistent
+ channels. Bug found by <hiddenx@wp.pl>.
+ - Extended version numbering of CVS versions (added date).
+ - Enhanced/fixed doc/Protocol.txt;
+
+ngIRCd 0.7.5 (2003-11-07)
+
+ - Fixed ban behavior: users which are banned from a channel can't no
+ longer send PRIVMSG's to this channel (fixes Bug #47).
+ - Fixed and enhanced the "penalty handling" of the server: commands that
+ require more resources block the client for a short time.
+ - Changed the internal time resolution to one second.
+ - New configuration variable "MaxConnectionsIP" to limit the number of
+ simultaneous connections from a single IP that the server will accept.
+ This configuration options lowers the risk of denial of service attacks
+ (DoS), the default is 5 connections per client IP.
+ - Fixed build problems under Mac OS X 10.3.
+ - Use "-pipe" when compiling with gcc, speeds things up a little :-)
+ - Added new configuration variable "Listen" to bind all listening
+ sockets of the server to a single IP address.
+ - Suppress misleading error message of diff during make run.
+ - Enhanced test-suite and made it work on GNU/Hurd.
+ - Fixed minor typo in debug output :-)
+
+ngIRCd 0.7.1 (2003-07-18)
+
+ - Included files to build Debian packages (located in "debian/").
+ - Updated config.guess and config.sub to newer upstream versions.
+ - NJOIN propagates user channel modes correctly again ... Upsa.
+ - Made Makefile more compatible with "make -j<n>".
+ - Added support for GNU/Hurd.
+ - Fixed a compiler warning related to an unnecessary assert().
+ - Enhanced VERSION command when using debug versions.
+
+ngIRCd 0.7.0 (2003-05-01)
+
+ - "ServerName" is checked better now: a dot (".") is required.
+ - The KILL command verifies and logs more parameters.
+
+ ngIRCd 0.7.0-pre2 (2003-04-27)
+ - CVS build system fixes (made autogen.sh more portable).
+ - Fixed compilation and test-suite on Solaris (tested with 2.6).
+ - New documentation file "doc/Platforms.txt" describing the status of
+ ngIRCd on the various tested platforms.
+ - Test for broken GCC on Mac OS X and disable "-pedantic" in this case.
+ - Disable "-ansi" on Cygwin: system headers are incompatible.
+ - The server tried to connect to other servers only once when DNS or
+ socket failures occurred.
+ - Fixed --configtest: There is no variable "ServerPwd", it's "Password".
+
+ ngIRCd 0.7.0-pre1 (2003-04-22)
- New signal handler (more secure, actions are executed outside).
- GCC: the compiler is now called with more warning options enabled.
- Replaced a lot of str[n]cpy(), str[n]cat() and sprintf() calls with the
"--with-tcp-wrappers", and "--with-rendezvous".
- Better error reporting to clients on connect.
- Enhanced manual pages ngircd(8) and ngircd.conf(5).
+ - Documentation is now installed in $(datadir)/doc/ngircd.
+ - Enhanced hanling of NJOIN in case of nick collisions.
ngIRCd 0.6.1, 2003-01-21
- The server sets a correct default AWAY message now when propagating
between servers (bug introduced in 0.6.0).
- Fixed up and enhanced CHANINFO command: channel keys and user limits
- are syncronized between servers now, too.
+ are synchronized between servers now, too.
- MODE returns the key and user limit for channel members correctly now.
- Non-members of a channel could crash the server when trying to change
its modes or modes of its members.
