-ngIRCd CVSHEAD
-
- - Fixed detection of IRC lines which are too long to send. Detected by
- Florian Westphal, <westphal@foo.fh-furtwangen.de>.
- - Fixed return values of our own implementation of strlcpy(). The code has
- been taken from rsync and they fixed it, but we didn't until today :-/
- It has only been used when the system didn't implement strlcpy by itself,
- not on "modern" systems. Florian Westphal, <westphal@foo.fh-furtwangen.de>.
+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 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 0.9.2 (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 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 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 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>.
+ - Code cleanups from Florian Westphal, <westphal@foo.fh-furtwangen.de>.
- Raised the maximum length of passwords to 20 characters.
- Fixed a memory leak when resizing the connection pool and realloc()
failed. Now we don't fall back to malloc(), which should be sane anyway.
Patch from Florian Westphal, <westphal@foo.fh-furtwangen.de>.
- Added support for the Howl (http://www.porchdogsoft.com/products/howl/)
Rendezvous API, in addition to the API of Apple (Mac OS X). The available
- APU will be autodetected when you call "./configure --with-rendezvous".
+ API will be autodetected when you call "./configure --with-rendezvous".
- Made ngIRCd compile on HP/UX 10.20 with native HP pre-ANSI C compiler and
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 ...
+ngIRCd 0.8.3 (2005-02-03)
+
+ - Fixed a bug that could case a root exploit when the daemon is compiled
+ to do IDENT lookups and is logging to syslog. Bug discovered by CoKi,
+ <coki@nosystem.com.ar>, thanks a lot!
+ (http://www.nosystem.com.ar/advisories/advisory-11.txt)
+
+ngIRCd 0.8.2 (2005-01-26)
+
+ - Added doc/SSL.txt to distribution.
+ - Fixed a buffer overflow that could cause the daemon to crash. Bug found
+ by Florian Westphal, <westphal@foo.fh-furtwangen.de>.
+ - Fixed a possible buffer underrun when reading the MOTD file. Thanks
+ to Florian Westphal, <westphal@foo.fh-furtwangen.de>.
+ - Fixed detection of IRC lines which are too long to send. Detected by
+ Florian Westphal, <westphal@foo.fh-furtwangen.de>.
+ - Fixed return values of our own implementation of strlcpy(). The code has
+ been taken from rsync and they fixed it, but we didn't until today :-/
+ It has only been used when the system didn't implement strlcpy by itself,
+ not on "modern" systems. Florian Westphal, <westphal@foo.fh-furtwangen.de>.
