+ ngIRCd 26~rc1 (2020-05-10)
+ - Tweak & update doc/HowToRelease.txt, .mailmap and AUTHORS files.
+ - Allow up to 512 characters per line in MOTD and help text files (but keep
+ in mind that lines can't get that long, because they have to be prefixed
+ before being sent to the client). But this allows for more fancy MOTDs :-)
+ Closes #271.
+ - Show the actually allowed channel types in the ISUPPORT(005) numeric which
+ are configured by the "AllowedChannelTypes" configuration variable.
+ Closes #273.
+ - Handle commands in the read buffer before reading more data and don't wait
+ for the network in this case: If there are more bytes in the read buffer
+ already than a single valid IRC command can get long (513 bytes), wait for
+ this/those command(s) to be handled first and don't try to read even more
+ data from the network (which most probably would overflow the read buffer
+ of this connection soon).
+ - Update Travis-CI configuration, "sudo" is depreacted.
+ - Log G-/K-Line changes only when not initiated by a server: this prevents
+ the log from becomming spammed during "net bursts".
+ - Update test suite to include SSL tests, including checking for reloading
+ certificates during runtime.
+ - Makefile.am: Replace "make" with "${MAKE}". This fixes warnings like this:
+ "warning: jobserver unavailable: using -j1. Add `+' to parent make rule."
+ Thanks to Sam James (sam_c) <sam@cmpct.info>!
+ Closes #270.
+ - Add support for GnuTLS certificate reload, which is quite handy when using
+ Let's Encrypt, for example. Until now this was only supported when linked
+ with OpenSSL. Thanks a lot, Hilko Bengen <bengen@hilluzination.de>!
+ - Remove deprecated legacy configuration options and related functions that
+ have been marked for removal for quite some time:
+ - PredefChannelsOnly (v22)
+ - NoticeAuth (v24)
+ - NoXXX (v19)
+ - Old '[GLOBAL]' section handling (v19)
+ Thanks to Michi <michi+ngircd@dataswamp.org> for the patch!
+ - Fix recursion bug on write errors: Depending on the stack size, too many
+ clients on the same channel quitting at the same time would trigger a crash
+ due to too many recursive calls to Conn_Close(). Thanks to Michi
+ <michi+ngircd@dataswamp.org> for the patch!
+ - Fix builds using GCC option -fno-common, which is the default starting with
+ GCC 10. Thanks to Michi <michi+ngircd@dataswamp.org> for the patch!
+ Closes #266.
+ - Convert INSTALL and README files to Markdown.
+ - Allow setting arbitrary channel modes in the configuration file by handling
+ them like in MODE commands, and allow multiple "Modes =" lines per [Channel]
+ section. Thanks to Michi <michi+ngircd@dataswamp.org>!
+ Closes #55.
+ - Add "FNC" (forced nick changes) to ISUPPORT(005) numeric. Most probably
+ this doesn't make any difference to any client, but it seems correct.
+ See <http://www.irc.org/tech_docs/005.html> for details.
+ - Reuse old SSL key if loading a new one failed.
+ - Remove outdated OpenBSD/NetBSD systrace.policy.
+ - Enhance handling of command line errors, and return with exit code 0 ("no
+ error") when "--help" or "--version" is used (which resulted in exit code 1,
+ "error" before). Exit with code 2 ("command line error") for all other
+ invalid command line options, and show the error message itself on stderr
+ (instead of stdout and exit code 1, "generic error", as before).
+ This new behaviour is more in line with the GNU "coding standards",
+ see <https://www.gnu.org/prep/standards/html_node/_002d_002dhelp.html>.
+ - Fix and update Xcode project: Reference correct contrib/Makefile.am file,
+ correctly sort contrib/nglog.sh and add "ORGANIZATIONNAME" setting.
+ - contrib/ngindent.sh: Add more GNU indent options for better results, and
+ add the ".sh" suffix to bring this script in line with the others in the
+ contrib/ folder.
+ - Add ./contrib/nglog.sh: This script parses the log output of ngircd(8),
+ and colorizes the messages according to their log level. Example usage:
+ ngircd -f $PWD/doc/sample-ngircd.conf -np | ./contrib/nglog.sh
+ - Log received signals with their names using strsignal(3), when available.
+ - Make test suite compatible with Haiku OS.
+ - Fix host mask cloaking bug, don't cloak multiple times: Previously, each
+ server would cloak every user's host mask. The problem is that if a network
+ has more than one server, then a user's host mask would get cloaked twice.
+ This patch ensures that a server only cloaks the host mask if it has not yet
+ been cloaked (the period indicates it's still an IP address). Thanks to
+ JRMU <jrmu@lecturify.com> for the patch!
+ Closes #228.
+ - Enlarge buffers of info texts to 128 bytes. This includes:
+ - "Real name" of a client (4th filed of the USER command).
+ - Server info text ("Info" configuration option).
+ - Admin info texts and email address ("AdminInfo1", "AdminInfo2" and
+ "AdminEmail" configuration options).
+ - Network name ("Network" configuration option).
+ The limit was 64 bytes before ...
+ Closes #258.
+ - Streamline handling of invalid and unset server name: Don't exit during
+ runtime (REHASH command, HUP signal), because the server name can't be
+ changed in this case anyway and the new invalid name will be ignored.
+ - Fix and extend documentation: Fix some typos, fix syntax of LINKS and LIST
+ commands, whitespace and spelling fixes, update dependencies and add some
+ more information about IRCv3 support.
+ Thanks to Thanks Windree, Étienne Mollier <etienne.mollier@mailoo.org> and
+ Christoph Biedl <debian.axhn@manchmal.in-ulm.de>.
+ Closes #264.
+ - Slightly reorder startup steps, and enhance logging:
+ - Show name of configuration file at the beginning of start up.
+ - Add a message when ngIRCd is ready, including its host name.
+ - Show name of configuration file on REHASH (SIGHUP), too.
+ - Change level of "done message" to NOTICE, like "starting" & "ready".
+ - Initialize IO functions before channels, connections, clients, ...
+ - configure.ng: OpenSSL can depends on lz or latomic so use pkg-config to
+ find those dependencies and fallback to existing mechanism.
+ Closes #256.
+ - ngircd.conf.5: Fix wording as suggested by lintian.
