-ngIRCd CVSHEAD
-
+ngIRCd HEAD
+
+ - New configuration option "MaxNickLength" to specify the allowed maximum
+ length of user nick names. Note: must be unique in an IRC network!
+ - Enhanced the IRC+ protocol to support an enhanced "server handshake" and
+ enable server to recognice numeric 005 (ISUPPORT) and 376 (ENDOFMOTD).
+ See doc/Protocol.txt for details.
+ - Re-added doc/SSL.txt to distribution -- got lost somewhere!?
+ - Fixes the wrong logging output when nested servers are introduced
+ to the network as well as the wrong output of the LINKS command.
+ - Fix code to compile using K&R C compiler and ansi2kr again.
+ - New config option NoDNS: Disables DNS lookups when clients connect.
+ - Fixed propagation of channel mode 'P' on server links.
+ - Numeric 317: implemented "signon time" (displayed in WHOIS result).
+ - Fixed code that prevented GCC 2.95 to compile ngIRCd.
+ - Adjust path names in manual pages according to "./configure" settings.
+ - Added new server configuration option "Passive" for "Server" blocks to
+ disable automatic outgoing connections (similar to -p option to ngircd,
+ but only for the specified server). (Tassilo Schweyer)
+ - Don't connect to a server if a connection to another server within the
+ same group is already in progress.
+ - Added support for the WALLOPS command. Usage is restricted to IRC
+ operators.
+
+ngIRCd 0.10.3 (2007-08-01)
+
+ - SECURITY: Fixed a severe bug in handling JOIN commands, which could
+ cause the server to crash. Thanks to Sebastian Vesper, <net@veoson.net>.
+
+ngIRCd 0.10.2 (2007-06-08)
+
+ ngIRCd 0.10.2-pre2 (2007-05-19)
+ - Server links are allowed to use larger write buffers now (up to 50 KB).
+
+ ngIRCd 0.10.2-pre1 (2007-05-05)
+ - Fix compressed server links (broken since 0.10.0).
+ - Predefined Channel configuration now allows specification of channel key
+ (mode k) and maximum user count (mode l).
+ - When using epoll() IO interface, compile in the select() interface as
+ well and fall back to it when epoll() isn't available on runtime.
+ - New configure option "--without-select" to disable select() IO API
+ (even when using epoll(), see above).
+ - Added support for IO APIs "poll()" and "/dev/poll".
+ - Reorganized internal handling of invite and ban lists.
+
+ngIRCd 0.10.1 (2006-12-17)
+
+ - Fixed validation of server names containing digits.
+ - Update the "info text" of the local server after re-reading configuration.
+ - Changed Numerics 265 and 266 to follow ircd 2.11.x "standards".
+ - Allow PASS syntax defined in RFC 1459 for server links, too.
+ - Enhanced ISUPPORT message (005 numeric).
+ - New configuration option "PredefChannelsOnly": if set, clients can only
+ join predefined channels.
+ - Code cleanups: use "LogDebug(...)" instead of "Log(LOG_DEBUG, ...)", use
+ "strcspn()", unsigned vs. signed, use "const", fix whitespaces, ...
+
+ngIRCd 0.10.0 (2006-10-01)
+
+ - Fixed file handle leak when daemon is not able to send MOTD to a client.
+
+ ngIRCd 0.10.0-pre2 (2006-09-09)
+ - Fixed build problems with GCC option -fstack-protector.
+ - Minor documentation updates.
+
+ ngIRCd 0.10.0-pre1 (2006-08-02)
+ - Validate "ServerName" (see RFC 2812, section 2.3.1).
+ - Enhanced DIE to accept a single parameter ("comment text") which is sent
+ to all locally connected clients before the server goes down.
+ - The ngIRCd handles time shifts backwards more gracefully now (the
+ timeout handling doesn't disconnect clients by mistake any more).
+ - Internal: Restructured connection handling (the connection ID is equal
+ to the file descriptor of the connection).
+ - Internal: Simplified resolver code.
+ - JOIN now supports more than one channel key at a time.
+ - Implemented numeric "333": Time and user name who set a channel topic.
+ - 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.
- 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 pratice, this
+ 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.x
+ngIRCd 0.9.2 (2005-10-15)
+
+ - Fixed a bug that could cause the daemon to crash when outgoing server
+ connections can't be established.
+ - Fixed a bug that caused the daemon to leak file descriptors when no
+ resolver subprocesses could be created.
+ - Fixed server NOTICEs to users with "s" mode ("server messages").
+ - Fixed a format string bug in "connection statistics" messages to clients.
+
+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 shuttding down the (wrong) connection.
+ 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.
