+ngIRCd
+
+ - Implemented hashed cloaked hostnames for both the "CloakHost" and
+ "CloakHostModeX" configuration options: now the admin can use the new
+ '%x' placeholder to insert a hashed version of the clients hostname,
+ and the new configuration option "CloakHostSalt" defines the salt for
+ the hash function. When "CloakHostSalt" is not set (the default), a
+ random salt will be generated after each server restart.
+
+ngIRCd Release 19.2 (2012-06-19)
+
+ - doc/Capabilities.txt: document "multi-prefix" capability
+
+ ngIRCd 19.2~rc1 (2012-06-13)
+ - New configuration option "CloakHostModeX" to configure the hostname
+ that gets used for IRC clients which have user mode "+x" enabled.
+ Up to now, the name of the IRC server itself has been used for this,
+ which still is the default when "CloakHostModeX" isn't set.
+ - Correctly handle asynchronously re-established server links: a race
+ condition could let the daemon loose track of an already re-established
+ incoming server link while preparing its own outgoing connection.
+ Peers that both try to connect each other could have been affected.
+ - Log a debug message when SIGUSR2 is handled in debug mode.
+ - Only allow alphanumeric characters in user-supplied user names of
+ USER command and IDENT replies.
+ - Change wording of "TLS initialized" message to make it more consistent.
+ - Don't leak file descriptors on error path when creating "PID files".
+ - Add missing mode "r" to CHANMODES in 005 "ISUPPORT" numeric.
+ - Update doc/Modes.txt and doc/Platforms.txt documents.
+ - contrib/platformtest.sh: correctly detect Open64 C compiler and handle
+ "CC=xxx MAKE=yyy ./platformtest.sh" calling convention.
+ - Add instructions for setting up Atheme IRC services.
+ - Implement support for IRC capability handling, the new "CAP" command,
+ and capablity "multi-prefix" which allows both the NAME and WHO command
+ handlers to return more than one "class prefix" to the client.
+ - Update Xcode project files: reference missing documentation files.
+ - Fix: Don't ignore "permission denied" errors when enabling chroot.
+ - FAQ: enhance description of chroot setup.
+
+ngIRCd Release 19.1 (2012-03-19)
+
+ - Fix gcc warning (v4.6.3), initialize "list" variable to NULL.
+ - Fix typos: "recieved" -> "received", "Please not" -> "Please note",
+ and fix lintian(1) warning ""hyphen-used-as-minus-sign", too.
+ - Really include _all_ patches to build the Anope module into the
+ distribution archive ... ooops!
+ - getpid.sh: Fix test case error for Debian using sbuild(1).
+ - Don't log "ngIRCd hello message" two times when starting up.
+
+ngIRCd Release 19 (2012-02-29)
+
+ - Update build system: bump config.guess and config.sub files used by
+ GNU autoconf/automake to recent versions.
+ - Fix configuration file parser: don't accept "[SSL]" blocks in the
+ configuration file when no SSL support is built in ngIRCd.
+ - Fix building ngIRCd with old gcc versions (e. g. 2.7.2).
+ - Correctly re-open syslog logging after reading of configuration
+ file: Syslog logging has been initialized before reading the
+ configuration, so ngIRCd always used the default facility and ignored
+ the "SyslogFacility" configuration option ...
+ Thanks to Patrik Schindler for reporting this issue!
+
+ ngIRCd 19~rc1 (2012-02-12)
+ - Enhance command limits for server links: the limit now is dependent
+ on the number of users connected in the network and higher while
+ servers are joining the network to make the login of servers faster.
+ - Log more information about server synchronization.
+ - Update preliminary ngIRCd protocol module for Anope 1.9.6, which now
+ is the only supported version.
+ - New numeric RPL_WHOISHOST_MSG(378), which returns the DNS host name
+ (if available) and the IP address of a client in the WHOIS reply.
+ Only the user itself and local IRC operators get this numeric.
+ - Implement channel exception list (mode 'e'). This allows a channel
+ operator to define exception masks that allow users to join the
+ channel even when a "ban" would match and prevent them from joining:
+ the exception list (e) overrides the ban list (b).
+ - PRIVMSG and NOTICE: Handle nick!user@host masks case-insensitive.
+ - Implement user mode 'C': If the target user of a PRIVMSG or NOTICE
+ command has the user mode 'C' set, it is required that both sender
+ and receiver are on the same channel. This prevents private flooding
+ by completely unknown clients.
+ - New RPL_WHOISREGNICK_MSG(307) numeric in WHOIS command replies: it
+ indicates if a nick name is registered (if user mode 'R' set).
+ - Limit channel invite, ban, and exception lists to 50 entries and fix
+ duplicate check and error messages when adding already listed entries
+ or deleting no (longer) existing ones.
+ - Fix both ERR_SUMMONDISABLED(445) and ERR_USERSDISABLED(446) replies.
+ - MODE command: correctly return ERR_UNKNOWNMODE(472) numeric for
+ unknown channel modes, instead of ERR_UMODEUNKNOWNFLAG(501).
+ - ISUPPORT(005) numeric: add "O", "R", and "z" modes to "CHANMODES",
+ add "EXCEPTS=e" and "INVEX=I", add "MAXLIST=beI:50".
+ - Limit the number of list items in the reply of LIST (100), WHO (25),
+ WHOIS (10), and WHOWAS (25) commands.
+ - LIST command: compare pattern case insensitive.
+ - Limit the MODE command to handle a maximum number of 5 channel modes
+ that require an argument (+Ibkl) per call and report this number
+ in the ISUPPORT(005) numeric: "MODES=5".
+ - Fix handling of channel mode sequence with/without arguments.
+ For example, don't generate wrong error messages when handling
+ "MODE #chan +IIIIItn *!aa@b *!bb@c *!cc@d *!dd@e *!ee@f".
+ - When sending data on a connection, only try to get the type of
+ the client if there still is one assigned. This could trigger an
+ assertion and end the daemon in some error paths.
+ - Don't try to close already closed/invalid sockets to forked child
+ processes. This could potentially crash the daemon in some cases
+ with IDENT lookups enabled.
+ - WHOIS command: make sure that the reply ends with RPL_ENDOFWHOIS,
+ don't answer queries for IRC servers, make sure mask matching is
+ case-insensitive, and that RPL_ENDOFWHOIS numeric is sent with the
+ unmodified mask (like it has been received from the client).
+ - LINKS command: support <mask> parameter to limit the reply.
+ - Add 1 second penalty for every further target on PRIVMSG/NOTICE
+ commands: this reduces the possibility of flooding channels with
+ commands like "PRIVMSG/NOTICE #a,#n,#c,... :message" a little bit.
+ Problem noticed by Cahata, thanks!
+ - Display correct error message when "Server{UID|GID}" variable in the
+ configuration file is invalid (not a number and no existing user).
+ - Update Copyright notices for 2012 :-)
+ - JOIN command: don't stop handling of channel lists when a single
+ channel cannot be joined (because of bad name, wrong key or channel
+ limit reached), but report an error and continue. And don't check
+ the channel limit and don't report with "too many channels" when
+ trying to join a channel that the client already is a member of.
+ - ISON command: reply with the correct upper-/lowercase nick names.
+ - New configuration option "PAMIsOptional": when set, clients not
+ sending a password are still allowed to connect: they won't become
+ "identified" and keep the "~" character prepended to their supplied
+ user name. See "man 5 ngircd.conf" for details.
+ - Fixed handling of WHO commands. This fixes two bugs: "WHO <nick>"
+ returned nothing at all if the user was "+i" (reported by Cahata,
+ thanks) and "WHO <nick|nickmask>" returned channel names instead
+ of "*" when the user was member of a (visible) channel.
+ - Fixed some spelling errors in documentation and code comments
+ (Thanks to Christoph Biedl).
+ - contrib/Debian/control: Update and complete "Build-Depends" and
+ update our Debian package descriptions with "official" ones.
+ - Fixed typo in two error messages.
+ - LUSERS reply: only count channels that are visible to the requesting
+ client, so the existence of secret channels is no longer revealed by
+ using LUSERS. Reported by Cahata, thanks!
+ - Unknown user and channel modes no longer stop the mode parser, but
+ are simply ignored. Therefore modes after the unknown one are now
+ handled. This is how ircd2.10/ircd2.11/ircd-seven behave, at least.
+ Reported by Cahata, thanks!
+ - README: Update list of implemented commands.
+ - Log better error messages when rejecting clients.
+ - Implement IRC commands "GLINE" and "KLINE" to ban users. G-Lines are
+ synchronized between server on peering, K-Lines are local only.
+ If you use "*!<user>@<host>" or "*!*@<host>" masks, these connections
+ are blocked even before the user is fully logged in (before PASS,
+ NICK, and USER commands have been processed) and before the child
+ processes for authentication are forked, so resource usage is smaller.
+ - Xcode: update project file for Xcode 4.2 and define HAVE_GAI_STRERROR
+ for Mac OS X Xcode builds.
+ - ./configure: Fix logic and quoting of poll() detection code: only use
+ poll() when poll.h exists as well.
+ - Suppress 'Can't create pre-defined channel: invalid name: ""' message.
+ - whois-test: handle local host name = "localhost.localdomain" using the
+ pattern "localhost*" for valid local host names.
+ - sample-ngircd.conf: show correct default for "PAM" variable: The
+ default of "PAM" is "yes" when ngIRCd has been configured to use it,
+ so show the correct default value in the sample configuration file.
+ (Closes #119)
+ - Update GPL 2 license text to current version.
+ - Only close "unrelated" sockets in forked child processes: This fixes
+ the problem that ngIRCd can't do any IDENT lookups because of the
+ socket has already been closed in the child process.
+ The bug has been introduced starting with ngIRCd 17 ... :-(
+ (commit ID 6ebb31ab35e)
+ - Added doc/Modes.txt: document modes supported by ngIRCd.
+ - Implement user mode "R": indicates that the nick name of this user
+ is "registered". This mode isn't handled by ngIRCd itself, but must
+ be set and unset by IRC services like Anope.
+ - Implement channel mode "R": only registered users (having the user
+ mode "R" set) are allowed to join this channel.
+ - Test suite: bind to loopback (127.0.0.1) interface only.
+ - New 2nd message "Nickname too long" for error code 432.
+ - Xcode: Mac OS X config.h: support 10.5 as well as 10.6/10.7 SDK.
+ - Xcode: exclude more Xcode 4 specific directories in ".gitignore".
+ - Disconnect directly linked servers sending QUIT. Without this,
+ the server becomes removed from the network and the client list,
+ but the connection isn't shut down at all ...
+ - contrib/ngindent: detect "gindent" as GNU indent.
+ - Handle unknown user and channel modes: these modes are saved and
+ forwarded to other servers, but ignored otherwise.
+ - Handle channel user modes 'a', 'h', and 'q' from remote servers.
+ These channel user modes aren't used for anything at the moment,
+ but ngIRCd knows that these three modes are "channel user modes"
+ and not "channel modes", that is that these modes take an "nick name"
+ argument. Like unknown user and channel modes, these modes are saved
+ and forwarded to other servers, but ignored otherwise.
+ - Correctly inform clients when other servers change their user modes.
+ This is required for some services to work correctly.
+ - Test suite: make getpid.sh work even when run as root.
+ - Spoofed prefixes: close connection on non-server links only.
+ On server-links, spoofed prefixes can happen because of the
+ asynchronous nature of the IRC protocol. So don't break server-
+ links, only log a message and ignore the command. (Closes #113)
