ngIRCd CVSHEAD
-
+ - Internal: Simplified resolver code.
+ - Fixed a bug that caused the daemon to leak file descriptors when no
+ resolver subprocesses could be created.
+ - JOIN now supports more than one channel key at a time.
+ - Implementec numeric "333": Time and user name who set a channel topic.
+ - Fixed server NOTICEs to users with "s" mode ("server messages").
+ - Enhanced the handler for PING and PONG commands: fix forwarding and enable
+ back-passing of a client supplied additional argument of PING.
+ - Changed handling of timeouts for unregistered connections: don't reset
+ the counter if data is received and disconnect clients earlier.
+ - Fixed a format string bug in "connection statistics" messages to clients.
+ - Removed unnecessary #define of "LOCAL", now use plain C "static" instead.
+ - Channel topics are no longer limited to 127 characters: now the only limit
+ is the maximum length of an IRC command, i. e. 512 bytes (in practice, this
+ limits the topic to about 490 characters due to protocol overhead).
+ - Reverse DNS lookup code now checks the result by doing an additional
+ lookup to prevent spoofing.
+ - Added new IO layer which (optionally) supports epoll() and kqueue() in
+ addition to the select() interface.
+
+ngIRCd 0.9.1 (2005-08-03)
+
+ - The KILL command killed much more than desired (including server links!)
+ when the target user is connected to a remote server. Bug introduced in
+ ngIRCd 0.9.0 ... Reported by <qssl@fastmail.fm>, Thanks!
+ - Changed some constants to be "signed" (instead of unsigned) to solve
+ problems with old (pre-ANSI) compilers.
+
+ngIRCd 0.9.0 (2005-07-24)
+
+ ngIRCd 0.9.0-pre1 (2005-07-09)
+ - Fixed maximum length of user names, now allow up to 9 characters.
+ - Cut off oversized IRC messages that should be sent to the network instead
+ of shutting down the (wrong) connection.
+ - Don't generate error messages for unknown commands received before the
+ client is registered with the server (like the original ircd).
+ - Never run with root privileges but always switch the user ID.
+ - Make "netsplit" messages RFC compliant.
+ - Fix handling of QUIT Messages: send only one message, even if the client
+ is member of multiple channels.
+ - Don't exit server if closing of a socket fails; instead ignore it and
+ pray that this will be "the right thing" ...
+ - 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 ussers with a specific IRC mask. Patch from Florian Westphal.
+ 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 insetead on server startup. By Florian Westphal.
+ 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>.
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
+ changes its 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 ...
