-- ChangeLog --
+ngIRCd Release 18 (2011-07-10)
+
+ - Update timestamp of ngircd(8) manual page.
+ - Add preliminary ngIRCd protocol module for Anope 1.9 to contrib/Anope/.
+ - Don't register WHOWAS information when "MorePrivacy" option is in effect.
+
+ ngIRCd 18~rc2 (2011-06-29)
+ - Update documentation, fix some wording, and use a spellchecker :-)
+ - ngircd.conf.5: strip "SSL" prefix from variables in [SSL] section.
+ - ngircd.8: document debugging options.
+ - GnuTLS: use 1024 bits as minimum size of the DH prime. This enables
+ ngIRCd to accept incoming connections from other servers and clients
+ that "only" use at least 1024 bits again, like ngIRCd 17 did (and no
+ longer requires 2048 bits for incoming connections).
+
+ ngIRCd 18~rc1 (2011-06-27)
+ - PAM warning message: make clear which "Password" config option is ignored.
+ - New configuration option "MorePrivacy" to "censor" some user information.
+ When enabled, signon time and idle time is left out. Part and quit
+ messages are made to look the same. WHOWAS requests are silently dropped.
+ All of this is useful if one wish to conceal users that access the ngircd
+ servers from TOR or I2P.
+ - New configuration option "ScrubCTCP" to scrub incoming CTCP commands. If
+ activated, the server silently drops incoming CTCP requests from both
+ other servers and from users. The server that scrubs CTCP will not forward
+ the CTCP requests to other servers in the network either, which can spell
+ trouble if not every oper knows about the CTCP-scrubbing. Scrubbing CTCP
+ commands also means that it is not possible to send files between users.
+ There is one exception to the CTCP scrubbing performed: ACTION ("/me
+ commands") requests are not scrubbed.
+ - Display configuration errors more prominent on "--configtest".
+ - Restructure ngIRCd configuration file: introduce new [Limits], [Options],
+ and [SSL] sections. The intention of this restructuring is to make the
+ [Global] section much cleaner, so that it only contains variables that
+ most installations must adjust to the local requirements. All the optional
+ variables are moved to [Limits], for configurable limits and timers of
+ ngIRCd, and [Options], for optional features. All SSL-related variables
+ are moved to [SSL] and the "SSL"-prefix is stripped. The old variables in
+ the [Global] section are deprecated now, but are still recognized.
+ => Don't forget to check your configuration, use "ngircd --configtest"!
+ - New documentation "how to contribute": doc/Contributing.txt.
+ - Slightly fix error handling when connecting to remote servers.
+ - GnuTLS: bump DH-bitsize to 2048: this solves the problem that some clients
+ refuse to connect to severs that only offer 1024. For interoperability it
+ would be best to just use 4096 bits, but that takes minutes, even on
+ current hardware ...
+ - contrib/platformtest.sh: fix gcc version detection.
+ - Avoid needlessly scary 'buffer overflow' messages: When the write buffer
+ space grows too large, ngIRCd has to disconnect the client to avoid
+ wasting too much memory, which is logged with a scary 'write buffer
+ overflow' message. Change this to a more descriptive wording.
+ - Require server prefixes for most commands on RFC2812 links. RFC1459 links
+ (often used by services, for example) are not affected.
+ - Mac OS X: update installer functionality, texts, and add our logo :-)
+ - New configuration option "RequireAuthPing": PING-PONG on login. When
+ enabled, this configuration option lets ngIRCd send a PING with an numeric
+ "token" to clients logging in; and it will not become registered in the
+ network until the client responds with the correct PONG.
+ - New configuration option "NoticeAuth": send NOTICE AUTH on connect. When
+ active, ngircd will send "NOTICE AUTH" messages on client connect time
+ like e.g. snircd (QuakeNet) does.
+ - Generate WALLOPS message on SQUIT from IRC operators; so SQUIT now behaves
+ like CONNECT and DISCONNECT commands, when called by an IRC operator.
+ - Allow servers to send more commands in the first 10 seconds ("burst"). This
+ helps to speed up server login and network synchronization.
+ - Add support for up to 3 targets in WHOIS queries, also allow up to one
+ wildcard query from local hosts. Follows ircd 2.10 implementation rather
+ than RFC 2812. At most 10 entries are returned per wildcard expansion.
+ - ngircd.conf(5) manual page: describe types of configuration variables
+ (booleans, text strings, integer numbers) and add type information to each
+ variable description.
+ - Don't use "the.net" in sample-ngircd.conf, use "example.net".
+ - Terminate incoming connections on HTTP commands "GET" and "POST".
+ - New configuration option "CloakHost": when set, this hostname is used for
+ every client instead of the real DNS hostname (or IP address).
+ - New configuration option "CloakUserToNick": when enabled, ngIRCd sets
+ every clients' user name to their nick name and hides the user name
+ supplied by the IRC client.
+ - doc/Protocol.txt: Update description of the CHANINFO and WEBIRC commands.
+ - Doxygen'ify (document) much more source files; code cleanup ...
+ - Make write buffers bigger, but flush early. Before this change, a client
+ got disconnected if the buffer flushing at 4k failed, now regular clients
+ can store up to 32k and servers up 64k even if flushing is not possible at
+ the moment. This enhances reliability on slow links.
+ - Don't access possibly free'd CLIENT structure. Ooops.
+ - Allow "Port = 0" in [Server] blocks. Port number 0 marks remote servers
+ that try to connect to this daemon, but where this daemon never tries to
+ establish a connection on its own: only incoming connections are allowed.
+ - Configuration: fix 'Value of "..." is not a number!' for negative values.
+ - Enable WHOIS command to return information about services.
+ - Implement channel mode 'O': "IRC operators only". This channel mode is
+ used on DALnet (bahamut), for example.
+ - Remove support for ZeroConf/Bonjour/Rendezvous service registration
+ including the "[No]ZeroConf" configuration option.
+ - TOPIC command: test for channel admin rights correctly: this enables other
+ servers, services and IRC operators to change channel topics, even when
+ the client is not joined to this channel.
+ - Deprecate NoXX-Options in ngircd.conf and move new variants into our new
+ [Options] section: 'NoDNS=no' => 'DNS=yes', 'NoIdent=no' => 'Ident=yes',
+ 'NoPAM=no' => 'PAM=yes', and 'NoZeroConf=no' => 'ZeroConf=yes' (and
+ vice-versa). The defaults are adjusted accordingly and the old variables
+ in [Global] are still accepted, so there is no functional change.
+ - Fix confusing "adding to invite list" debug messages: adding entries to
+ ban list produced 'invite list' debug output ...
+ - Don't throttle services and servers being registered.
+ - Xcode: correctly sort files :-)
+ - Don't assert() when searching a client for an invalid server token (this is
+ only relevant when a trusted server on a server-server link sends invalid
+ commands).
+
+ngIRCd Release 17.1 (2010-12-19)
+
+ - --configtest: remember if MOTD is configured by file or phrase
+ - Enhance log messages when establishing server links a little bit
+ - Reset ID of outgoing server link on DNS error correctly
+ - Don't log critical (or worse) messages to stderr
+ - Manual page ngircd(8): add SIGNALS section
+ - Manual pages: update and simplify AUTHORS section
+ - Remove "error file" when compiled with debug code enabled
+ - README: Updated list of implemented commands
+ - add doc/README-Interix.txt and doc/Bopm.txt to distribution tarball
+ - Merge branch 'numeric-329'
+ - add doc/PAM.txt to distribution tarball
+ - New numeric 329: get channel creation time on "MODE #chan" commands
+ - Save channel creation time; new function Channel_CreationTime()
+
ngIRCd Release 17 (2010-11-07)
- doc: change path names in sample-ngircd.conf depending on sysconfdir
werden (beide Server versuchen sich dann gegenseitig zu connectieren).
- Test-Suite und Dokumentation an A/UX angepasst.
- unter HP-UX definiert das configure-Script nun _XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED.
- - Server identifizieren sich nun mit asyncronen Passwoertern, d.h. das
+ - Server identifizieren sich nun mit asynchronen Passwoertern, d.h. das
Passwort, welches A an B schickt, kann ein anderes sein als das, welches
B als Antwort an A sendet. In der Konfig.-Datei, Abschnitt "Server",
wurde "Password" dazu durch "MyPassword" und "PeerPassword" ersetzt.
- Protokoll- und Server-ID bei PASS-Befehlen auf neues Format umgestellt;
bei empfangenen PASS-Befehlen werden diese zudem nun auch ausgewertet.
Die unterstuetzten Flags sind in doc/Protocol.txt beschrieben.
- - mit dem neuen Befehl CHANINFO syncronisieren Server, die das IRC+-
+ - mit dem neuen Befehl CHANINFO synchronisieren Server, die das IRC+-
Protokoll unterstuetzen, Channel-Modes und Topics.
- neue Option "--disable-ircplus" fuer das configure-Script, um das
IRC+-Protokoll abzuschalten (per Default ist es aktiviert).
- PRIVMSG beachtet nun die Channel-Modes "n" und "m".
- AWAY implementiert. PRIVMSG, MODE, USERHOST und WHOIS angepasst.
- der ngIRCd unterstuetzt nun Channel-Topics (TOPIC-Befehl).
- - ausgehende Server-Verbindungen werden nun asyncron connectiert und
+ - ausgehende Server-Verbindungen werden nun asynchron connectiert und
blockieren nicht mehr den ganzen Server, wenn die Gegenseite nicht
erreicht werden kann (bis zum Timeout konnten Minuten vergehen!).
- Wert der Konfigurations-Variable "ConnectRetry" wird besser beachtet.
- NICK kann nun die Gross- und Kleinschreibung eines Nicks aendern.
- ein Server-Passwort ist nun konfigurierbar.
- neue Befehle: ERROR, SERVER, NJOIN (nur als "Fake"), SQUIT.
- - Asyncroner Resolver Hostname->IP implementiert.
+ - Asynchroner Resolver Hostname->IP implementiert.
- Server-Links teilweise implementiert: bisher kann der ngIRCd jedoch
nur "leafed server" sein, d.h. keine "Client-Server" haben. Einige
Befehle sind auch noch nicht (optimal) angepasst: PRIVMSG funktioniert
