+ -- ChangeLog --
+
+
+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
+ more secure functions strlcpy(), strlcat() and snprintf(). On systems
+ that don't support strlcpy() and strlcat(), these functions are included
+ in the libngportab now (with prototypes in portab.h).
+ - If the server can't close a socket, it panics now. This is an error that
+ can't occur during normal operation so there is something broken.
+ - The order of log messages during disconnects is more "natural" now ;-)
+ - Cleaned up handling of server configuration structures: modifying and
+ removing servers during runtime works more reliable now.
+ - Compression code from "conn.[ch]" is now found in new "conn-zip.[ch]"
+ - Moved some connection functions from "conn.[ch]" to "conn-func.[ch]".
+ - New command CONNECT to enable and add server links. The syntax is not
+ RFC-compatible: use "CONNECT <name> <port>" to enable and connect an
+ configured server and "CONNECT <name> <port> <host> <mypwd> <peerpwd>"
+ to add a new server (ngIRCd tries to connect new servers only once!).
+ - Added DISCONNECT command ("DISCONNECT <name>") to disable servers.
+ - Restructured the documentation: Now the main language is English. The
+ german documentation has been removed (until there is a maintainer).
+ - Enhanced killing of users caused by a nickname collision.
+ - Better error detection for status code ("numerics") forwarding.
+ - Moved tool functions to own library: "libngtool".
+ - New command TRACE (you can trace only servers at the moment).
+ - New command HELP that lists all understood commands.
+ - There should no longer remain "unknown connections" (see e.g. LUSERS)
+ if an outgoing server link can't be established.
+ - Added AC_PREREQ(2.50) to configure.in for better autoconf compatibility.
+ - Conn_Close() now handles recursive calls for the same link correctly.
+ - ngIRCd can register itself with Rendezvous: to enable support pass the
+ new switch "--with-rendezvous" to configure.
+ - Added support for TCP Wrappers library: pass "--with-tcp-wrappers" to
+ configure to enable it.
+ - Changed some configure options to use "--with"/"--without" as prefix
+ instead of "--enable"/"--disable": "--without-syslog", "--without-zlib",
+ "--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
+
+ - Fixed KILL: you can't crash the server by killing yourself any more,
+ ngIRCd no longer sends a QUIT to other servers after the KILL, and you
+ can kill only valid users now.
+ - The server no longer forwards commands to ordinary users, instead it
+ answers with the correct error message ("no such server") now.
+ - WHOIS commands weren't always forwarded as requested.
+ - 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 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.
+ - The server didn't validate weather a target user is a valid channel
+ member when changing his channel user modes which could crash ngIRCd.
