ngIRCd
- - Implemented hashed cloaked hostnames for both the "CloakHost" and
+ - Implement user mode "b", "block messages": when a user has set mode "b",
+ all private messages and notices to this user are blocked if they don't
+ originate from a registered user, an IRC Op, server or service. The
+ originator gets an error numeric sent back in this case,
+ ERR_NONONREG_MSG (486), which is used by UnrealIRCd, too. (Closes #144)
+ - WHOIS: Not only show RPL_WHOISHOST_MSG to local IRC operators, but show
+ it to all IRC operators in the network. And don't show it to anybody if
+ the "more privacy" configuration option is enabled. (Closes #134)
+ - Test suite: make expect scripts more verbose displaying dots for each
+ reply of the server that it is waiting for.
+ - WHOIS: Implement numeric RPL_WHOISMODES_MSG (379) and show user modes in
+ the reply of the WHOIS command for the user himself or, if MorePrivacy
+ isn't set, for request initiated by an IRC operator. (Closes #129)
+ - Implement channel mode "V" (invite disallow): If the new channel mode
+ "V" is set, the INVITE command becomes invalid and all clients get the
+ new ERR_NOINVITE_MSG (518) reply. (Closes #143)
+ - KICK-protect IRC services.
+ - Implement channel mode "Q" and user mode "q": Both modes protect users
+ from channel kicks: only IRC operators and servers can kick users having
+ mode "q" or in channels with mode "Q". (Closes #141)
+ - Debian: require "telnet" or "telnet-ssl" for building and enable
+ CHARCONV in ngircd-full[-dbg] variants.
+ - Send RPL_REHASHING (382) numeric if a REHASH command was accepted.
+ - Fix spelling and variable names in some log messages.
+ - Allow users to "cloak" their hostname only when the configuration
+ variable "CloakHostModeX" (introduced in 19.2) is set. Otherwise, only
+ IRC operators, other servers, and services are allowed to set the user
+ mode "+x": this prevents regular users from changing their hostmask to
+ the name of the IRC server itself, which confused quite a few people ;-)
+ (Closes #133)
+ - New configuration option "OperChanPAutoOp": If disabled, IRC operators
+ don't become channel operators in persistent channels when joining.
+ Enabled by default, which has been the behavior of ngIRCd up to this
+ patch. (Closes #135)
+ - Allow IRC operators to see secret (+s) channels in LIST command as long
+ as the "MorePrivacy" configuration option isn't enabled in the
+ configuration file. (Closes #136)
+ - Enhance build system: Support new (>=1.12) and old (<=1.11) GNU automake
+ versions, update checks for required and optional features, enable
+ colored test output of automake (if available), rename configure.in to
+ more modern configure.ac, include .mailmap and all build-system files in
+ distribution archives and no longer require a GIT tree to detect the
+ correct version string.
+ - Update documentation: add doc/Contributing.txt and include version
+ numbers in doc/Modes.txt.
+ - Free all listen ports on initialization: now listen ports can be
+ reconfigured on runtime using a configuration reload.
+ - Initialize SSL when needed only, and disable SSL on errors.
+ - Implement new (optional) IRC+ "CHARCONV" command to set a client
+ character set that the server translates all messages to/from UTF-8.
+ This feature requires the "libiconv" library and must be enabled using
+ the new "--with-iconv" option of the ./configure script. See
+ doc/Protocol.txt for details. (Closes #109)
+ - Allow limited punctuation in usernames, for better PAM integration.
+ - Correctly re-initialize signal handlers on RESTART commands.
+ - Show a warning on startup if the configuration file is not a full path:
+ ngIRCd is a long-running process and changes its working directory to
+ "/" to not block mounted filesystems and the like when running as daemon
+ ("not in the foreground"); therefore the path to the configuration file
+ must be relative to "/" (or the chroot() directory), which basically is
+ "not relative", to ensure that "kill -HUP" and the "REHASH" command work
+ as expected later on. (Closes #127)
+ - Make the "&SERVER" channel definable in a [Channel] configuration block,
+ which enables server operators to overwrite the built-in topic and
+ channel modes. (Closes #131)
+ - Don't limit list size of "WHO #channel" commands, because it makes no
+ sense to not return all the users in that channel, so I removed the
+ check. But if there are more than MAX_RPL_WHO(25) replies, the client
+ requesting the list will be "penalized" one second more, then 2 in
+ total. (Closes #125)
+ - Make ngIRCd buildable using the kqueue() IO interface on FreeBSD 4.x.
+ - Fix the "NoticeAuth" configuration option when using SSL connections and
+ enhance the message to show the hostname and IDENT reply of the client.
+ - Introduce numeric RPL_HOSTHIDDEN_MSG (396): This numeric is sent to the
+ client each time it changes its displayed hostname using "MODE +/-x",
+ and if "CloakHost" is set right after the MOTD has been sent.
+ - Fix USERHOST not displaying the correctly cloaked hostname.
+ - Implement user mode "B" ("Bot flag"): it is settable and unsettable by
+ every (non-restricted) client. This is how Unreal and InspIRCd do
+ behave, and so do we :-)
+ - Dynamically allocate memory for connection passwords: This a) saves
+ memory for clients not using passwords at all and b) allows for
+ "arbitrarily" long passwords.
+ - Implement channel mode "M": Only the server, identified users and IRC
+ operators are able to talk in such a channel.
+ - Block nicknames that are reserved for services and are defined using the
+ configuration variable "ServiceMask" in "Server" blocks; And this
+ variable now can handle more than one mask separated by commas.
+ - Now "make uninstall" removes the installed "ngircd.conf" file, if it is
+ still equal to our "sample-ngircd.conf" file and therefore hasn't been
+ modified by the user. If it has been modified, it isn't removed and a
+ notice is displayed to the user. And "make install" now displays a
+ message when no ngircd.conf file exists and the "sample-ngircd.conf"
+ file will be installed as a starting point.
+ - Add contrib/ngircd.service, a systemd service file for ngircd.
+ - Implemented XOP channel user modes: "Half Op" ("+h", prefix "%") can set
+ the channel modes +imntvIbek and kick all +v and normal users; "Admin"
+ ("+a", prefix "&") can set channel modes +imntvIbekoRsz and kick all +o,
+ +h, +v and normal users; and "Owner" ("+q", prefix "~") can set channel
+ modes +imntvIbekoRsz and kick all +a, +o, +h, +v and normal users.
+ - Implement 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.
+ random salt will be generated after each server restart. (Closes #133)
