+
+
+ngIRCd CVSHEAD
+
+ - 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.
+ - 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).
- - 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.
- If the server can't close a socket, it panics now. This is an error that
- can't occure during normal operation so there is something broken.
+ 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.
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.
