+ ngIRCd 23~rc1
+ - INSTALL: Add deprecation notice for "PredefChannelsOnly" variable.
+ - Use "NOTICE *" before registration instead of "NOTICE AUTH". "AUTH" is
+ a valid nickname so sending notices to it is probably not a good idea.
+ Use "*" as the target instead as done with numerics when the nick is not
+ available. This mimics the behaviour in Charybdis, IRCD-Hybrid, InspIRCd
+ 2.2, Plexus 4, etc. Closes #217.
+ The "NoticeAuth" configuration variable (ngircd.conf) has been renamed
+ to "NoticeBeforeRegistration" accordingly, but the old name is still
+ supported for compatibility reasons.
+ - Implement new channel mode "N" (regular users can't change their nick
+ name while on this channel). Closes #214.
+ - README, AUTHORS: Update mailing list and issue tracker URLs.
+ - Remove doc/GIT.txt (it is outdated), update doc/Contributing.txt:
+ ngIRCd uses GitHub, and Git itself is quite common today. So don't
+ include an own Git "mini HowTo" any longer.
+ - Specify session context for OpenSSL clients. This enables some OpenSSL
+ clients, including Pidgin and stunnel 5.06, to reuse a session.
+ Patch by Tom Ryder <tom@sanctum.geek.nz>, thanks! Closes #182.
+ - Keep track of who placed bans, invites, and excepts.
+ Idee and implementation by LucentW, Thanks! Closes #203.
+ - Make setgroups(3) function optional: For example, Interix is missing
+ this function, which prevented ngIRCd to build on this platform. When
+ setgroups(3) isn't available, a warning message is issued on startup.
+ - Implement numeric RPL_LISTSTART(321). lightIRC and other clients
+ expecting RPL_LISTSTART should now behave correctly.
+ Idee and implementation by LucentW, Thanks! Closes #207.
+ - Update ngircd.conf.5: "CloadUserToNick" hides user _and_ real name.
+ This closes #208.
+ - Fix case insensitive pattern matching: Up to now, only the the input
+ string became lowercased and was then compared to the pattern -- which
+ failed when the pattern itself wasn't all lowercase!
+ - Streamline the effect of "MorePrivacy" option: Update documentation
+ in ngircd.conf(5); don't hide channels for IRC Ops on LIST and don't
+ hide IP addresses/hostnames on WHOIS when "MorePrivacy" is in effect.
+ This closes #198.
+ - IRC operators now can kick anyone when "OperCanMode" is set.
+ Idee and implementation by LucentW, Thanks! Closes #202.
+ - Implement user mode "I": Hide channels on WHOIS: this mode prevents
+ ngIRCd from showing channels on WHOIS (IRC Operators can always see
+ the channel list).
+ Idee and implementation by LucentW, Thanks! Closes #197.
+ - INVITE command: Implement ERR_USERNOTONSERV(504) numeric and make sure
+ that the target user is on the same server when inviting other users
+ to local ("&") channels.
+ Idea by Cahata, thanks! Closes #183.
+ - INVITE command: Enforce 1 second penalty time, which prevents flooding
+ of the target client.
+ This closes #186. Reported by Cahata, thanks!
+ - MODE command: Always report channel creation time. Up to now when
+ receiving a MODE command, ngIRCd only reported the channel creation
+ time to clients that were members of the channel. This patch reports
+ the channel creation time to all clients, regardless if they are joined
+ to that channel or not. At least ircd-seven behaves like this.
+ This closes #188. Reported by Cahata, thanks!
+ - Update Xcode project for latest Xcode version (6.3).
+
+ngIRCd 22.1 (2015-04-06)
+
+ - Update doc/Platforms.txt and doc/FAQ.txt.
+ - Fix spelling of RPL_WHOISBOT message text.
+ - Don't send nick name as default PART reason: No other IRC daemon seems
+ to do this (today?). Closes #185.
+ Reported by Cahata in #ngircd, thanks!
+ - Fix "WHO #<chan>" showing invisible users and hiding all visible, the
+ logic was reversed! This bug has been introduced by commit c74115f2,
+ "Simplify mode checking on channels and users within a channel", ngIRCd
+ releases 21, 21.1, and 22 are affected :-( Problem reported by Cahata
+ in #ngircd, Thanks!
+ - Fix typo in src/testsuite/README
+ - Auth PING: Fix our information text for manual sending of "PONG". Up to
+ now, ngIRCd doesn't send a valid IRC command at all, oops!
+ - Auth PING: Fix internal time stamp conversion and don't send a prefix in
+ our PING command. The prefix confuses WeeChat, at least, which doesn't
+ send an appropriate PONG in the case ...
+ Debugging and patch by "wowaname" on #ngircd, thanks!
+ - Fix syntax of ERR_LISTFULL_MSG(478) numeric. Pointed out by "wowaname"
+ in #ngircd, thanks!
+ - Enhance debug messages while sending CHANINFO commands.
+ - Reset "last try" timer when enabling a passive server. This results in
+ a new connection attempt as soon as possible.
+ - Change log message for "Can't resolve address" and for IP address
+ forgeries.
+ - doc/HowToRelease.txt: Add note about the bug tracker.
+ - Update "CipherList" to not enable SSLv3 by default. Idea, initial patch,
+ and testing by Christoph Biedl <ngircd.anoy@manchmal.in-ulm.de>.
+ - Change ngIRCd test suite not to use DNS lookups: Different operating
+ systems do behave quite differently when doing DNS lookups, for example
+ "127.0.0.1" sometimes resolves to "localhost" and sometimes to
+ "localhost.localdomain" (for example OpenBSD). And other OS resolve
+ "localhost" to the real host name (for example Cygwin). So not using
+ DNS at all makes the test site much more portable.
+
+ngIRCd 22 (2014-10-11)
+
+ - Match all list patterns case-insensitive: this affects the invite-,
+ ban-, and except lists, as well as G-Lines an K-Lines.
+ Problem pointed out by "wowaname" on #ngircd, thanks!
+
+ ngIRCd 22~rc1 (2014-09-29)
+ - Sync "except lists" between servers: Up to now, ban, invite, and G-Line
+ lists have been synced between servers while linking -- but obviously
+ nobody noticed that except list have been missing ever since. Until now.
+ Thanks to "j4jackj", who reported this issue in #ngircd.
+ - Allow longer user names (up to 63 characters) for authentication.
+ - Correctly check that a server has a valid hostname and port, thanks to
+ David Binderman <dcb314@hotmail.com> who reported this bug.
- Fix the function which generates complete "IRC masks" from user input,
don't destroy the source buffer and use all provided parts (nick, user,
host name). This fixes GLINEs/KLINEs from not working in some situations.
- Allow "DefaultUserModes" to set all possible modes, including modes only
settable by IRC Operators.
- Spoofed prefixes: Really kill connection on non-server links.
- - Implement user mode "F": "relaxed flood protection". Clients with mode "F"
- set are allowed to send data to the daemon. This mode is only settable by
- IRC Operators and can cause problems in the network -- so be careful and
- only set it on "trusted" clients!
+ - Implement user mode "F": "relaxed flood protection". Clients with mode
+ "F" set are allowed to rapidly send data to the daemon. This mode is only
+ settable by IRC Operators and can cause problems in the network -- so be
+ careful and only set it on "trusted" clients!
User mode "F" is used by Bahamut for this purpose, for example.
- Handle "throttling" in a single function: ngIRCd implements "command
throttling" and "bps throttling" (bytes per second). The states are
