+ 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)
+ - Enhance systemd service file, and install it in Debian package.
+ - Update configuration of Debian package.
+ - Log privilege violations and failed OPER request with log level "error"
+ and send it to the "&SERVER" channel, too.
+ - Immediately shut down connection when receiving an "ERROR" command,
+ don't wait for the peer to close the connection. This allows the daemon
+ to forward the received "ERROR" message in the network, instead of the
+ very generic "client closed connection" message.
+ - Fix sending of entry duration (no negative values!) when synchronizing
+ "x-lines" (G-LINES).
+ - List expiration (G-LINES): use same log level as when setting, and log
+ this event to the &SERVER channel, too.
+ - Explicitly forbid remote servers to modify "x-lines" (G-LINES) when the
+ "AllowRemoteOper" configuration option isn't set, even when the command
+ seems to originate from the remote server itself: this prevents GLINE's
+ to become set during server handshake in this case (what wouldn't be
+ possible during regular runtime when a remote IRC Op sends the command)
+ and what can't be undone by IRC Ops later on (because of the missing
+ "AllowRemoteOper" option) ...
+ - Make scripts and init-files in ./contrib executable.
+ - Fix building ngIRCd with OpenSSL 1.1. Thanks to Christoph Biedl
+ <ngircd.anoy@manchmal.in-ulm.de> for the patch!
+ - Fix code indentation warnings of gcc 6.2.
+ - Update config.guess (2016-04-02) and config.sub (2016-03-30) files.
+ - Fix warnings of the "shellcheck" linter in autogen.sh, contrib/ngindent
+ and contrib/platformtest.sh.
+ - Update Xcode project for latest Xcode version (8.0), and fix "duplicate
+ symbols" error messages when building (linking) the binary.
+ - Add "Documentation" variables to systemd configuration files.
+ - Make sure that SYSCONFDIR is always set, which can be handy when
+ using source code linters when ./configure hasn't been run already.
+ - Add the new "PAMServiceName" configuration option to specify the name
+ used as PAM service name. This setting allows to run multiple ngIRCd
+ instances with different PAM configurations for each instance.
+ Thanks to Christian Aistleitner <christian@quelltextlich.at> for the
+ patch, closes #226.
+ - Add an ".editorconfig" file to the project.
+ - Travis-CI: use "container-based infrastructure".
+ - Limit the number of message targets, and suppress duplicates: This
+ prevents an user from flooding the server using commands like this:
+ "PRIVMSG nick1,nick1,nick1,...".
+ Duplicate targets are suppressed silently (channels and clients).
+ In addition, the maximum number of targets per PRIVMSG, NOTICE, ...
+ command are limited to MAX_HNDL_TARGETS (25). If there are more, the
+ daemon sends the new 407 (ERR_TOOMANYTARGETS_MSG) numeric, containing
+ the first target that hasn't been handled any more. Closes #187.
+ - Test suite: Add new test for server-server logins.
+ - contrib/ngindent: Fix shebang line.
+ - Make contrib/platformtest.sh script more portable, and only show
+ "runs=Y" when the test suite really has been passed successfully.
+ - Code cleanup in the NJON handler and the function killing clients as
+ well as the function sending messages to a "mask" (cleaner code, more
+ fault tolerant, better code comments).
+ - Update and enhance documentation: README file, doc/Platforms.txt,
+ doc/Modes.txt, doc/Commands.txt, doc/PAM.txt.
+ - Fix NJOIN not propagating "half ops" status: ngIRCd tested for the wrong
+ prefix of "half ops" when processing NJOIN commands and therefore never
+ classified a remote user as "half op".
+ Thanks to wowaname for pointing this out on #ngircd!

- Explicitly cast time_t to long when printing it out: this prevents
wrong sized data types on platforms where time_t doesn't equal a
