+ngIRCd 21 (2013-10-30)
+
+ - ./contrib/Debian/ngircd.init: Make sure no stale PID file is left over
+ when (re-)starting ngIRCd.
+ - Change ./contrib/platformtest.sh and update ./doc/Platforms.txt to
+ allow usernames up to 8 characters.
+ - Call arc4random_stir() in forked subprocesses, when available. This
+ is required by FreeBSD <10 and current NetBSD at least to correctly
+ initialize the "arc4" random number generator on these platforms.
+ - Update our own Debian package configuration and fix the default path
+ of the "HelpFile" of the "full" package variants.
+
+ ngIRCd 21~rc2 (2013-10-20)
+ - Report the correct configuration file name on configuration errors,
+ support longer configuration lines, and warn when lines are truncated.
+ - Use arc4random() function to generate "random" numbers, when available.
+ - platformtest.sh: Detect clang compiler, and clean up GIT source tree
+ before building (when possible).
+ - Update (date of) manual pages.
+ - Update "Upgrade Information" in INSTALL file, add more systems to
+ doc/Platforms.txt, and fix spelling in NEWS and ChangeLog files =:)
+ - Fix remaining compiler warnings on OpenBSD.
+
+ ngIRCd 21~rc1 (2013-10-05)
+ - Actually KILL clients on GLINE/KLINE. (Closes bug #156)
+ - Adjust log messages for invalid and spoofed prefixes, which cleans up
+ logging of commands related to already KILL'ed clients. And don't
+ forward KILL commands for (already) unknown clients any more to prevent
+ unnecessary duplicates.
+ - Add support to show all user links using the "STATS L" (uppercase)
+ command (restricted to IRC Operators).
+ - Fixed blocking of server reconnects in some error configurations.
+ - Don't ignore SSL-related errors during startup any more: abort startup
+ when SSL is requested by the configuration but can't be initialized and
+ don't continue only listening on plain text communication ports.
+ (Closes bug #163)
+ - Implement configurable SSL cipher list selection for GnuTLS and OpenSSL
+ using the new configuration option "CipherList". In addition, this
+ changes the defaults to more secure values: "HIGH:!aNULL:@STRENGTH" for
+ OpenSSL, and "SECURE128" for GnuTLS.
+ - Fix "TRACE": Correctly return ERR_NEEDMOREPARAMS(461) (which basically
+ is "syntax error") when there are too many parameters.
+ - Clean up lots of permission and parameter checks in functions handling
+ IRC commands; and more consistently add penalty times on errors.
+ - Fix error numeric of WHOIS when no nick name has been provided:
+ as per RFC it should be ERR_NONICKNAMEGIVEN(431).
+ - Only log "IDENT ... no result" messages when an IDENT looked took place
+ and didn't return any data, not when IDENT has been disabled.
+ - Show connection flag "s" (SSL) in RPL_TRACE{LINK|SERVER} messages: now
+ you can check if a server-to-server link is SSL-encrypted or not using
+ the IRC "TRACE" command.
+ - Correctly discard supplementary groups on server startup.
+ - Save client IP address text for "WebIRC" users and correctly display
+ it on WHOIS, for example. (Closes bug #159)
+ - Implement the new configuration option "DefaultUserModes" which lists
+ user modes that become automatically set on new local clients right
+ after login. Please note that only modes can be set that the client
+ could set on itself, so you can't set "a" (away) or "o" (IRC Op),
+ for example! User modes "i" (invisible) or "x" (cloaked) etc. are
+ "interesting", though. (Closes bug #160)
+ - Add support for the new METADATA "account" property, which allows
+ services to automatically identify users after netsplits and across
+ service restarts.
+ - Enforce "penalty times" on error conditions more consistently and in
+ more places. Now most error codes sent back from the IRC server to the
+ client should result in a 2 second "penalty".
+ - Implement a new configuration option "AllowedChannelTypes" that lists
+ all allowed channel types (channel prefixes) for newly created channels
+ on the local server. By default, all supported channel types are allowed.
+ If set to the empty string, local clients can't create new channels at
+ all, which equals the old "PredefChannelsOnly = yes" setting.
+ This change deprecates the "PredefChannelsOnly" variable, too, but it is
+ still supported and translated to the appropriate "AllowedChannelTypes"
+ setting. When the old "PredefChannelsOnly" variable is processed, a
+ warning message is logged. (Closes bug #152)
+ - Add support for "client certificate fingerprinting". When a client
+ passes an SSL certificate to the server, the "fingerprint" will be
+ forwarded in the network which enables IRC services to identify the
+ user using this certificate and not using passwords.
+ - IRC Operator names, as defined in ngircd.conf, are logged now when
+ handling successful OPER commands.
+ - Some error conditions while handling IRC commands, like "permission
+ denied" or "need more parameters", result in more penalty times.
- The numeric replies of some commands became split too early which
resulted in more numeric reply lines than necessary.
- Implement a new configuration option "IncludeDir" in the "[Options]"
into this directory. (Closes bug #157)
- Fix use-after-free in the Lists_CheckReason() function, which is used
to check if a client is a member of a particular ban/invite/... list.
- - Xcode: fix detection of host OS, vendor, and CPU type.
+ - Xcode: fix detection of host OS, vendor, and CPU type, and update
+ project settings for Xcode 5.
- OS X PackageMaker: use relative path names in project files and package
with correct file permissions (requires root privileges on "make").
- Add Travis-CI configuration file (".travis.yml") to project.
- - Look for possible cloaked Masks in Lists. Users with +x usermode can
+ - Look for possible cloaked Masks in Lists. Users with +x user mode can
be banned with their cloaked hostname now.
- Don't read SSL client data before DNS resolver is finished which could
have resulted in discarding the resolved client hostname and IDENT
InspIRCd, for example -- but as usual, other numerics are in use, too,
like 613 in UltimateIRCd ...
Please note that neither the Operator (+o) not the "bot status" (+B)

+ of an IRC service is displayed in the output.
- Exit message: use singular & plural :-)
- - Add missing punctuation marks in log messages and adjust some
- severity levels.
+ - autogen.sh: Check for autoconf/automake wrapper scripts
+ - Add missing punctuation marks in log messages, adjust some severity
+ levels, and make SSL-related messages more readable.
- AUTHORS file: Update list of contributors.
- Update systemd(8) example configuration files in ./contrib/ directory:
the "ngircd.service" file now uses the "forking" service type which
and then is used to output individual help texts to specific topics.
Please see the file ./doc/Commands.txt for details.
+ngIRCd 20.3 (2013-08-23)
+
+ - Security: Fix a denial of service bug (server crash) which could happen
+ when the configuration option "NoticeAuth" is enabled (which is NOT the
+ default) and ngIRCd failed to send the "notice auth" messages to new
+ clients connecting to the server (CVE-2013-5580).
+
ngIRCd 20.2 (2013-02-15)
- Security: Fix a denial of service bug in the function handling KICK
the hash function. When "CloakHostSalt" is not set (the default), a
random salt will be generated after each server restart. (Closes #133)
