ngIRCd is free software and published under the
ngIRCd CVSHEAD
-
- - Debian: Fxied the name of the "default file" in the init script for
- ngircd-full packages. And do the test if the binary is executable after
- reading this file.
+ - Implemented the IRC function "WHOWAS".
+ - Don't enable assert() calls when not ./configure'd with --enable-debug.
+ - Fixed ./configure test for TCP Wrappers: now it runs on Mac OS X as well.
+ - Enhanced configure script: now you can pass an (optional) search path
+ to all --with-XXX parameters, e. g. "--with-ident=/opt/ident".
+ - Removed typedefs for the native C datatypes.
+ Use stdbool.h / inttypes.h if available.
+ - New configuration option "OperServerMode" to enable a workaround needed
+ when running an network with ircd2 servers and "OperCanUseMode" enabled
+ to prevent the ircd2 daemon to drop mode changes of IRC operators.
+ Patch by Florian Westphal, <westphal@foo.fh-furtwangen.de>.
+ - Implemented support for "secret channels" (channel mode "s").
+ - New configuration option "Mask" for [Operator] sections to limit OPER
+ commands to users with a specific IRC mask. Patch from Florian Westphal.
+ - Write "error file" (/tmp/ngircd-XXX.err) only if compiled with debug
+ code ("--enable-debug") and running as daemon process.
+ - Don't create version information string each time a client connects
+ but instead on server startup. By Florian Westphal.
+ - New configuration variable "PidFile", section "[Global]": if defined,
+ the server writes its process ID (PID) to this file. Default: off.
+ Idea of Florian Westphal, <westphal@foo.fh-furtwangen.de>.
+ - Code cleanups from Florian Westphal, <westphal@foo.fh-furtwangen.de>.
+ - Raised the maximum length of passwords to 20 characters.
+ - Fixed a memory leak when resizing the connection pool and realloc()
+ failed. Now we don't fall back to malloc(), which should be sane anyway.
+ Patch from Florian Westphal, <westphal@foo.fh-furtwangen.de>.
+ - Added support for the Howl (http://www.porchdogsoft.com/products/howl/)
+ Rendezvous API, in addition to the API of Apple (Mac OS X). The available
+ API will be autodetected when you call "./configure --with-rendezvous".
+ - Made ngIRCd compile on HP/UX 10.20 with native HP pre-ANSI C compiler and
+ most probably other older C compilers on other systems.
- When the daemon should switch to another user ID (ServerID is defined in
the configuration file) and is not running in a chroot environment, it
changes it's working directory to the home directory of this user. This
should enable the system to write proper core files when not running with
root privileges ...
+
+ngIRCd 0.8.3 (2005-02-03)
+
+ - Fixed a bug that could case a root exploit when the daemon is compiled
+ to do IDENT lookups and is logging to syslog. Bug discovered by CoKi,
+ <coki@nosystem.com.ar>, thanks a lot!
+ (http://www.nosystem.com.ar/advisories/advisory-11.txt)
+
+ngIRCd 0.8.2 (2005-01-26)
+
+ - Added doc/SSL.txt to distribution.
+ - Fixed a buffer overflow that could cause the daemon to crash. Bug found
+ by Florian Westphal, <westphal@foo.fh-furtwangen.de>.
+ - Fixed a possible buffer underrun when reading the MOTD file. Thanks
+ to Florian Westphal, <westphal@foo.fh-furtwangen.de>.
+ - Fixed detection of IRC lines which are too long to send. Detected by
+ Florian Westphal, <westphal@foo.fh-furtwangen.de>.
+ - Fixed return values of our own implementation of strlcpy(). The code has
+ been taken from rsync and they fixed it, but we didn't until today :-/
+ It has only been used when the system didn't implement strlcpy by itself,
+ not on "modern" systems. Florian Westphal, <westphal@foo.fh-furtwangen.de>.
+
+ngIRCd 0.8.1 (2004-12-25)
+
+ - Autoconf: Updated config.guess and config.sub
+ - Added some more debug code ...
+ - Fixed wrong variable names in output of "ngircd --configtest".
+ - Debian: Fixed the name of the "default file" in the init script for
+ ngircd-full packages. And do the test if the binary is executable after
+ reading this file.
- Enhanced the "test suite": please have a look at src/testsuite/README!
