+ - 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)
+
+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 host name is used for
+ every client instead of the real DNS host name (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
+ - Fix up generation and distribution of sample-ngircd.conf
+ - contrib/ngircd-redhat.init: updated email address of Naoya Nakazawa
+ - contrib/platformtest.sh: make command name quoting consistent
+
+ ngIRCd 17~rc3 (2010-10-27)
+ - Xcode builds: detect version number correctly, updateed project file
+ to use the Mac OS X 10.5.x SDK, disable pam_fail_delay() because it
+ is only available starting with Mac OS X 10.6, and generate a default
+ PAM configuration for the Mac OS X Installer.app package of ngIRCd.
+ - Debian: updated standards version to 3.9.1, added libpam0g-dev to the
+ dependencies, and install a default /etc/pam.d/ngircd allowing all logins.
+ - Make contrib/platformtest.sh more portable.
+ - Fix connect attempts to further IP addresses of outgoing server links.
+
+ ngIRCd 17~rc2 (2010-10-25)
+ - ZeroConf: include header files missing since commit a988bbc86a.
+ - Generate ngIRCd version number from GIT tag.
+ - Make sourcecode compatible with ansi2knr again. This allows to compile
+ ngIRCd using a pre-ANSI K&R C compiler again.
+ - ./configure: check if C compiler can compile ISO Standard C.
+ - ./configure: check support for C prototypes again.
+ - Don't use PARAMS() macro for function implementations.
+ - Added m68k/apple/aux3.0.1 (gcc 2.7.2) to doc/Platforms.txt.
+ - Only try to set FD_CLOEXEC if this flag is defined.
+ - Only use "__attribute__ ((unused))" if GCC >=2.8 is used.
+ - doc/Makefile.am: don't set docdir, automake handles it already.
+
+ ngIRCd 17~rc1 (2010-10-11)
+ - New configuration option "NoZeroConf" to disable service registration at
+ runtime even if ngIRCd is compiled with support for ZeroConf (e.g. using
+ Howl, Avahi or on Mac OS X).
+ - New configuration option "SyslogFacility" to define the syslog "facility"
+ (the "target"), to which ngIRCd should send its log messages.
+ Possible values are system dependant, but most probably "auth", "daemon",
+ "user" and "local1" through "local7" are possible values; see syslog(3).
+ Default is "local5" for historical reasons.
+ - Dump the "internal server state" (configured servers, established
+ connections and known clients) to the console or syslog when receiving
+ the SIGUSR2 signal and debug mode is enabled.
+ - Enable the daemon to disable and enable "debug mode" on runtime using
+ signal SIGUSR1, when debug code is compiled in, not only on startup
+ using the command line parameters.
+ - Signal handler: added new 'delayed' signal handlers, including fallback
+ to deprecated sysv API. And removed global NGIRCd_SignalRehash variable.
+ - IO: add io_cloexec() to set close-on-exec flag.
+ - ng_ipaddr.h: include required assert.h header.
+ - Conn_SyncServerStruct(): test all connections; and work case insensitive
+ - configure script: correctly indent IPv6 yes/no summary output.
+ - Don't reset My_Connections[Idx].lastping when reading data, so the
+ client lag debug-output is working again.
+ - Implement user mode "x": host name cloaking (closes: #102).
+ - Make configure switch "--docdir" work (closes: #108).
+ - Reformat and update FAQ.txt a little bit.
+ - INSTALL: mention SSL, IPv6, and changed handling of MotdFile.
+ - Change MOTD file handling: ngIRCd now caches the contens of the MOTD
+ file, so the daemon now requires a HUP signal or REHASH command to
+ re-read the MOTD file when its content changed.
+ - Startup: open /dev/null before chroot'ing the daemon.
+ - Allow IRC ops to change channel modes even without OperServerMode set.
+ - Allow IRC operators to use MODE command on any channel (closes: #100).
+ - Added mailmap file for git-[short]log and git-blame.
+ - Authenticated users should be registered without the "~" mark.
+ - Set NoPAM=yes in configuration files used for the testsuite.
+ - New configuration option "NoPAM" to disable PAM.
+ - Implement asynchronous user authentication using PAM, please see the
+ file doc/PAM.txt for details.
+ - Resolver: Implement signal handler and catch TERM signals.
+ - Don't set a penalty time when doing DNS lookups.
+ - Add some documentation for using BOPM with ngIRCd, see doc/Bopm.txt.
+ - Implement user mode "c": receive connect/disconnect NOTICEs. Note that
+ this new mode requires the user to be an IRC operator.
+ - ngircd.init: require "$network" and "$remote_fs" when stopping ngircd.
+ - Show SSL status in WHOIS output, numeric 275.
+ - Include correct header files when testing for arpa/inet.h (Closes: #105).
+ - Don't access already freed memory in IRC_KILL().
+ - Fix "beeing" typo ...
+ - SSL/TLS: fix bogus "socket closed" error message.
+
+ngIRCd Release 16 (2010-05-02)
+
+ - doc/SSL: remove line continuation marker
+
+ ngIRCd 16~rc2 (2010-04-25)
+ - Updated some more copyright notices, it's 2010 already :-)
+ - Only compile in Get_Error() if really needed
+ - Fix gcc warning "ignoring return value of ..."
+ - Include netinet/in_systm.h alongside netinet/ip.h
+ - Include netinet/{in.h, in_systm.h} when checking for netinet/ip.h
+ - Only include <netinet/in_systm.h> if it exists
+ - Updated doc/Platforms.txt
+ - Enhace connection statistics counters: display total number of served
+ connections on daemon shutdown and when a new client connects using
+ the new numeric RPL_STATSCONN (250).
+
+ ngIRCd 16~rc1 (2010-03-25)
+ - Various fixes to the build system and code cleanups.
+ - contrib/platformtest.sh: Only show latest commit.
+ - Updatet doc/Platforms.txt, added new README-Interix.txt documenting
+ how to tun ngIRCd on Microsoft Services for UNIX (MS SFU, MS SUA).
+ - Updated links to the ngIRCd homepage (bug tracker, mailing list).
+ - Added missing modes to USERMODES #define
+ - Show our name (IRCD=ngIRCd) in ISUPPORT (005) numeric
+ - Quote received messages of ERROR commands in log output.
+ - ngircd.conf manual page: document missing "Password" variable.
+ - Implement WEBIRC command used by some Web-IRC frontends. The password
+ required to secure this command must be configured using the new
+ "WebircPassword" variable in the ngircd.conf file.
+ - Don't use port 6668 as example for both "Ports" and "SSLPorts".
+ - Remove limit on max number of configured irc operators.
+ - Only link "nsl" library when really needed.
+ - A new channel mode "secure connections only" (+z) has been implemented:
+ Only clients using a SSL encrypted connection to the server are allowed
+ to join such a channel.
+ But please note three things: a) already joined clients are not checked
+ when setting this mode, b) IRC operators are always allowed to join
+ every channel, and c) remote clients using a server not supporting this
+ mode are not checked either and therefore always allowed to join.
+
+ngIRCd Release 15 (2009-11-07)
+
+ - "ngircd --configtest": print SSL configuration options even when unset.
+
+ ngIRCd 15~rc1 (2009-10-15)
+ - Do not add default listening port (6667) if SSL ports were specified, so
+ ngIRCd can be configured to only accept SSL-encrypted connections now.
+ - Enable IRC operators to use the IRC command SQUIT (insted of the already
+ implemented but non-standard DISCONNECT command).
+ - New configuration option "AllowRemoteOper" (disabled by default) that
+ enables remote IRC operators to use the IRC commands SQUIT and CONNECT
+ on the local server.
+ - Mac OS X: fix test for packagemaker(1) tool in Makefile and use gcc 4.0
+ for Mac OS X 10.4 compatibility in the Xcode project file.
+ - Fix --with-{openssl|gnutls} to accept path names.
+ - Fix LSB header of Debian init script.
+ - Updated doc/Platforms.txt and include new script contrib/platformtest.sh
+ to ease generating platform reports.
+ - Fix connection information for already registered connections.
+ - Enforce upper limit on maximum number of handled commands. This implements
+ a throttling scheme: an IRC client can send up to 3 commands or 256 bytes
+ per second before a one second pause is enforced.
+ - Fix connection counter.
+ - Fix a few error handling glitches for SSL/TLS connections.
+ - Minor fixes to manual pages and documentation.
+
+ngIRCd Release 14.1 (2009-05-05)
+
+ - Security: fix remotely triggerable crash in SSL/TLS code.
+ - BSD start script contrib/ngircd.sh has been renamed to ngircd-bsd.sh.
+ - New start/stop script for RedHat-based distributions:
+ contrib/ngircd-redhat.init, thanks to Naoya Nakazawa <naoya@sanow.net>.
+ - Doxygen: update source code repository link to GIT.
+ - Debian: build ngircd-full-dbg package.
+ - Allow ping timeout quit messages to show the timeout value.
+ - Fix error handling on compressed links.
+ - Fix server list announcement.
+ - Do not remove host names from info text.
+
+ngIRCd Release 14 (2009-04-20)
+
+ - Display IPv6 addresses as "[<addr>]" when accepting connections.
+
+ ngIRCd 14~rc1 (2009-03-29)
+ - Updated Debian/Linux init script (see contrib/Debian/ngircd.init).
+ - Allow creation of persistent modeless channels.
+ - The INFO command reports the compile time now (if available).
+ - Spell check and enhance ngIRCd manual pages.
