-
+ngIRCd 24 (2017-01-20)
+
+ - Make sure that ./contrib/platformtest.sh aborts when ./autogen.sh fails.
+ - Update config.guess (2016-10-02) and config.sub (2016-11-04) files.
+ - Build Debian packages with OpenSSL instead of GnuTLS: OpenSSL allows
+ to reload used certificates on runtime for example (which is very
+ useful when using Let's Encrypt), and therefore is preferred. And
+ explicitly specify the "source format".
+ - Fix handling of connection pool allocation and enlargement: up to now,
+ the daemon only enlarged its connection pool when accepting new incoming
+ client or server connections, not when establishing new outgoing server
+ links, which could lead to problems when hitting the configured limit,
+ see "MaxConnections". Thanks to Lukas Braun (k00mi) for reporting this!
+ Closes #231.
+
+ ngIRCd 24~rc1 (2017-01-07)
+ - Enhance systemd service file, and install it in Debian package.
+ - Update configuration of Debian package.
+ - Log privilege violations and failed OPER request with log level "error"
+ and send it to the "&SERVER" channel, too.
+ - Immediately shut down connection when receiving an "ERROR" command,
+ don't wait for the peer to close the connection. This allows the daemon
+ to forward the received "ERROR" message in the network, instead of the
+ very generic "client closed connection" message.
+ - Fix sending of entry duration (no negative values!) when synchronizing
+ "x-lines" (G-LINES).
+ - List expiration (G-LINES): use same log level as when setting, and log
+ this event to the &SERVER channel, too.
+ - Explicitly forbid remote servers to modify "x-lines" (G-LINES) when the
+ "AllowRemoteOper" configuration option isn't set, even when the command
+ seems to originate from the remote server itself: this prevents GLINE's
+ to become set during server handshake in this case (what wouldn't be
+ possible during regular runtime when a remote IRC Op sends the command)
+ and what can't be undone by IRC Ops later on (because of the missing
+ "AllowRemoteOper" option) ...
+ - Make scripts and init-files in ./contrib executable.
+ - Fix building ngIRCd with OpenSSL 1.1. Thanks to Christoph Biedl
+ <ngircd.anoy@manchmal.in-ulm.de> for the patch!
+ - Fix code indentation warnings of gcc 6.2.
+ - Update config.guess (2016-04-02) and config.sub (2016-03-30) files.
+ - Fix warnings of the "shellcheck" linter in autogen.sh, contrib/ngindent
+ and contrib/platformtest.sh.
+ - Update Xcode project for latest Xcode version (8.0), and fix "duplicate
+ symbols" error messages when building (linking) the binary.
+ - Add "Documentation" variables to systemd configuration files.
+ - Make sure that SYSCONFDIR is always set, which can be handy when
+ using source code linters when ./configure hasn't been run already.
+ - Add the new "PAMServiceName" configuration option to specify the name
+ used as PAM service name. This setting allows to run multiple ngIRCd
+ instances with different PAM configurations for each instance.
+ Thanks to Christian Aistleitner <christian@quelltextlich.at> for the
+ patch, closes #226.
+ - Add an ".editorconfig" file to the project.
+ - Travis-CI: use "container-based infrastructure".
+ - Limit the number of message targets, and suppress duplicates: This
+ prevents an user from flooding the server using commands like this:
+ "PRIVMSG nick1,nick1,nick1,...".
+ Duplicate targets are suppressed silently (channels and clients).
+ In addition, the maximum number of targets per PRIVMSG, NOTICE, ...
+ command are limited to MAX_HNDL_TARGETS (25). If there are more, the
+ daemon sends the new 407 (ERR_TOOMANYTARGETS_MSG) numeric, containing
+ the first target that hasn't been handled any more. Closes #187.
+ - Test suite: Add new test for server-server logins.
+ - contrib/ngindent: Fix shebang line.
+ - Make contrib/platformtest.sh script more portable, and only show
+ "runs=Y" when the test suite really has been passed successfully.
+ - Code cleanup in the NJON handler and the function killing clients as
+ well as the function sending messages to a "mask" (cleaner code, more
+ fault tolerant, better code comments).
+ - Update and enhance documentation: README file, doc/Platforms.txt,
+ doc/Modes.txt, doc/Commands.txt, doc/PAM.txt.
+ - Fix NJOIN not propagating "half ops" status: ngIRCd tested for the wrong
+ prefix of "half ops" when processing NJOIN commands and therefore never
+ classified a remote user as "half op".
+ Thanks to wowaname for pointing this out on #ngircd!
+
+ngIRCd 23 (2015-11-16)
+
+ - Explicitly cast time_t to long when printing it out: this prevents
+ wrong sized data types on platforms where time_t doesn't equal a
+ long any more, for example on OpenBSD (which would result in garbled
+ output on those platforms).
+ - contrib/Debian/changelog: Fix email address.
+ - Documentation: Spelling fixes; update doc/Platforms.txt.
+
+ ngIRCd 23~rc1 (2015-09-06)
+ - Add ".clang_complete" file, which is used by the "linter-clang" package
+ of the Atom editor, for example.
+ - Make server-to-server protocol more robust: ngIRCd now catches more
+ errors on the server-to-server (S2S) protocol that could crash the
+ daemon before. This hasn't been a real problem because the IRC S2S
+ protocol is "trusted" by design, but the behavior is much better now.
+ Thanks to wowaname on #ngircd for pointing this out!
+ - Make platformtest.sh, autogen.sh, and ngircd.init more portable.
+ - Enables "reproducible builds" for ngIRCd: Use the optional BIRTHTIME
+ constant while building ngIRCd, which contains a time stamp for the
+ "Birth Date" information, in seconds since the epoch.
+ See <https://wiki.debian.org/ReproducibleBuilds>.
+ - Update "contrib/ngircd.service" file for systemd.
+ - INSTALL: Add deprecation notice for "PredefChannelsOnly" variable.
+ - Use "NOTICE *" before registration instead of "NOTICE AUTH". "AUTH" is
+ a valid nickname so sending notices to it is probably not a good idea.
+ Use "*" as the target instead as done with numerics when the nick is not
+ available. This mimics the behavior in Charybdis, IRCD-Hybrid, InspIRCd
+ 2.2, Plexus 4, etc. Closes #217.
+ The "NoticeAuth" configuration variable (ngircd.conf) has been renamed
+ to "NoticeBeforeRegistration" accordingly, but the old name is still
+ supported for compatibility reasons.
+ - Implement new channel mode "N" (regular users can't change their nick
+ name while on this channel). Closes #214.
+ - README, AUTHORS: Update mailing list and issue tracker URLs.
+ - Remove doc/GIT.txt (it is outdated), update doc/Contributing.txt:
+ ngIRCd uses GitHub, and Git itself is quite common today. So don't
+ include an own Git "mini HowTo" any longer.
+ - Specify session context for OpenSSL clients. This enables some OpenSSL
+ clients, including Pidgin and stunnel 5.06, to reuse a session.
+ Patch by Tom Ryder <tom@sanctum.geek.nz>, thanks! Closes #182.
+ - Keep track of who placed bans, invites, and excepts.
+ Idea and implementation by LucentW, Thanks! Closes #203.
+ - Make setgroups(3) function optional: For example, Interix is missing
+ this function, which prevented ngIRCd to build on this platform. When
+ setgroups(3) isn't available, a warning message is issued on startup.
+ - Implement numeric RPL_LISTSTART(321). lightIRC and other clients
+ expecting RPL_LISTSTART should now behave correctly.
+ Idea and implementation by LucentW, Thanks! Closes #207.
+ - Update ngircd.conf.5: "CloakUserToNick" hides user _and_ real name.
+ This closes #208.
+ - Fix case insensitive pattern matching: Up to now, only the the input
+ string became lowercased and was then compared to the pattern -- which
+ failed when the pattern itself wasn't all lowercase!
+ - Streamline the effect of "MorePrivacy" option: Update documentation
+ in ngircd.conf(5); don't hide channels for IRC Ops on LIST and don't
+ hide IP addresses/hostnames on WHOIS when "MorePrivacy" is in effect.
+ This closes #198.
+ - IRC operators now can kick anyone when "OperCanMode" is set.
+ Idea and implementation by LucentW, Thanks! Closes #202.
+ - Implement user mode "I": Hide channels on WHOIS: this mode prevents
+ ngIRCd from showing channels on WHOIS (IRC Operators can always see
+ the channel list).
+ Idea and implementation by LucentW, Thanks! Closes #197.
+ - INVITE command: Implement ERR_USERNOTONSERV(504) numeric and make sure
+ that the target user is on the same server when inviting other users
+ to local ("&") channels.
+ Idea by Cahata, thanks! Closes #183.
+ - INVITE command: Enforce 1 second penalty time, which prevents flooding
+ of the target client.
+ This closes #186. Reported by Cahata, thanks!
+ - MODE command: Always report channel creation time. Up to now when
+ receiving a MODE command, ngIRCd only reported the channel creation
+ time to clients that were members of the channel. This patch reports
+ the channel creation time to all clients, regardless if they are joined
+ to that channel or not. At least ircd-seven behaves like this.
+ This closes #188. Reported by Cahata, thanks!
+ - Update Xcode project for latest Xcode version (6.3).
+
+ngIRCd 22.1 (2015-04-06)
+
+ - Update doc/Platforms.txt and doc/FAQ.txt.
+ - Fix spelling of RPL_WHOISBOT message text.
+ - Don't send nick name as default PART reason: No other IRC daemon seems
+ to do this (today?). Closes #185.
+ Reported by Cahata in #ngircd, thanks!
+ - Fix "WHO #<chan>" showing invisible users and hiding all visible, the
+ logic was reversed! This bug has been introduced by commit c74115f2,
+ "Simplify mode checking on channels and users within a channel", ngIRCd
+ releases 21, 21.1, and 22 are affected :-( Problem reported by Cahata
+ in #ngircd, Thanks!
+ - Fix typo in src/testsuite/README
+ - Auth PING: Fix our information text for manual sending of "PONG". Up to
+ now, ngIRCd doesn't send a valid IRC command at all, oops!
+ - Auth PING: Fix internal time stamp conversion and don't send a prefix in
+ our PING command. The prefix confuses WeeChat, at least, which doesn't
+ send an appropriate PONG in the case ...
+ Debugging and patch by "wowaname" on #ngircd, thanks!
+ - Fix syntax of ERR_LISTFULL_MSG(478) numeric. Pointed out by "wowaname"
+ in #ngircd, thanks!
+ - Enhance debug messages while sending CHANINFO commands.
+ - Reset "last try" timer when enabling a passive server. This results in
+ a new connection attempt as soon as possible.
+ - Change log message for "Can't resolve address" and for IP address
+ forgeries.
+ - doc/HowToRelease.txt: Add note about the bug tracker.
+ - Update "CipherList" to not enable SSLv3 by default. Idea, initial patch,
+ and testing by Christoph Biedl <ngircd.anoy@manchmal.in-ulm.de>.
+ - Change ngIRCd test suite not to use DNS lookups: Different operating
+ systems do behave quite differently when doing DNS lookups, for example
+ "127.0.0.1" sometimes resolves to "localhost" and sometimes to
+ "localhost.localdomain" (for example OpenBSD). And other OS resolve
+ "localhost" to the real host name (for example Cygwin). So not using
+ DNS at all makes the test site much more portable.
+
+ngIRCd 22 (2014-10-11)
+
+ - Match all list patterns case-insensitive: this affects the invite-,
+ ban-, and except lists, as well as G-Lines an K-Lines.
+ Problem pointed out by "wowaname" on #ngircd, thanks!
+
+ ngIRCd 22~rc1 (2014-09-29)
+ - Sync "except lists" between servers: Up to now, ban, invite, and G-Line
+ lists have been synced between servers while linking -- but obviously
+ nobody noticed that except list have been missing ever since. Until now.
+ Thanks to "j4jackj", who reported this issue in #ngircd.
+ - Allow longer user names (up to 63 characters) for authentication.
+ - Correctly check that a server has a valid hostname and port, thanks to
+ David Binderman <dcb314@hotmail.com> who reported this bug.
+ - Fix the function which generates complete "IRC masks" from user input,
+ don't destroy the source buffer and use all provided parts (nick, user,
+ host name). This fixes GLINEs/KLINEs from not working in some situations.
+ - Increase MAX_SERVERS from 16 to 64: There are installations out there
+ that would like to configure more than 16 links per server, so increase
+ this limit. Best would be to get rid of MAX_SERVERS altogether and make
+ if fully dynamic, but start with this quick and dirty hack ...
+ - Debian: Don't adjust path names that are correct by default and correctly
+ set and use "docdir".
+ - Update config.guess and config.sub to recent versions.
+ - Test suite/platformtest.sh: Detect when tests have been skipped.
+ - doc/Bopm.txt: Update "connregex" and "kline" for current ngIRCd.
+ - Allow "DefaultUserModes" to set all possible modes, including modes only
+ settable by IRC Operators.
+ - Spoofed prefixes: Really kill connection on non-server links.
+ - Implement user mode "F": "relaxed flood protection". Clients with mode
+ "F" set are allowed to rapidly send data to the daemon. This mode is only
+ settable by IRC Operators and can cause problems in the network -- so be
+ careful and only set it on "trusted" clients!
+ User mode "F" is used by Bahamut for this purpose, for example.
+ - Handle "throttling" in a single function: ngIRCd implements "command
+ throttling" and "bps throttling" (bytes per second). The states are
+ detected in different functions, Conn_Handler() and Read_Request(), but
+ handle the actual "throttling" in a common function: this enables us to
+ guarantee consistent behavior and to disable throttling for special
+ connections in only one place
+ - Use server password when PAM is compiled in but disabled.
+ - Streamline punctuation of log messages.
+ - Return ISUPPORT(005) numerics on "VERSION". This is how ircd-seven,
+ Charybdis, Hybrid, and InspIRCd behave, for example.
+ - configure: Only link "contrib/Debian" if it exists, which isn't the case
+ on "VPATH builds", for example.
+ - Show the account name in WHOIS. This uses the same numeric as Charybdis
+ and ircu families: WHOISLOGGEDIN(330).
+ - Pattern matching: Remove "range matching" in our pattern matching code
+ using the "[...]" syntax, because [ and ] are valid characters in nick
+ names and one has to quote them currently using the "\" character, which
+ is quite unexpected for users.
+ - platformtest.sh: New option "-x", don't regenerate build system and
+ allow using separate source and build trees.
+ - Test suite: explicitly enable glibc memory checking.
+ - Make "MODE -k" handling more robust and compatible, send "fake '*' key"
+ in all replies.
+ - Update configure.ng: ngIRCd requires GNU autoconf 2.61 for generating its
+ build system, so update the build system accordingly and implement all
+ changes that autoupdate(1) suggests: Update AC_PREREQ and AC_INIT, use
+ AC_LINK_IFELSE, AC_RUN_IFELSE, and AC_COMPILE_IFELSE, and remove
+ AC_TYPE_SIGNAL (we don't use RETSIGTYPE).
+ - portabtest: Actually test the functions snprintf(), strlcpy(), strlcat(),
+ and vsnprintf() for correctness, not only existence (which was quite
+ useless, because if they weren't available, the program could not have
+ been linked at all ...).
+ - Implement new configuration option "Network": it is used to set the
+ (completely optional) "network name", to which this instance of the
+ daemon belongs. When set, this name is used in the ISUPPORT(005) numeric
+ which is sent to all clients connecting to the server after logging in.
+ - Update doc/Platforms.txt.
+ - Various code cleanups, remove unused code, streamline error handling.
+ Remove all imp.h and exp.h header files, support non-standard vsnprintf()
+ return codes, and fix some K&R C portability issues. Streamline
+ DEBUG_ARRAY, DEBUG_BUFFER, DEBUG_IO, DEBUG_ZIP definitions.
+ - Increase penalty time to 10 seconds when handling OPER commands with an
+ invalid password.
+
+ngIRCd 21.1 (2014-03-25)
+
+ - Don't ignore but use the server password when PAM is compiled in but
+ disabled. Thanks to Roy Sindre Norangshol <roy.sindre@norangshol.no>!
+ - doc/Platforms.txt: Update from master branch.
+ - Really kill connections that send "spoofed prefixes" on non-server links.
+ This fixes commit 6cbe1308 which only killed the connection when the
+ spoofed prefix itself belonged to a non-server client.
+ - CHARCONV command: Fix handling conversion errors, don't overwrite already
+ converted text!
+ - doc/Services.txt: Update information for Anope 2.x.
+ - Correctly use cloaked IRC masks on "INVITE nickname": The cloaked IRC mask
+ of a user is his visible mask, so the daemon has to use it for generating
+ the "one time" entries for the invite list of the given channel, and not
+ the "real" mask which will never match while the target client is "+x", and
+ even worse, will disclose the real mask on "MODE #channel +I" commands :-/
+ Bug reported by Cahata on #ngircd, thanks!
+ - configure: Only link "contrib/Debian" if it exists. This isn't the case on
+ "VPATH builds", for example.
+ - Use $(MKDIR_P) instead of $(mkinstalldirs) in Makefile's and test for
+ "mkdir -p" using AC_PROG_MKDIR_P in "configure".
+ - Fix configure script and "make check" for TCP Wrappers (problems spotted on
+ OpenBSD): add missing #include's and static variables, and add libwrap at
+ the end of the configure run because if libwrap becomes added earlier,
+ other tests may fail.
+ - configure: add support for the LDFLAGS_END and LIBS_END variables to add
+ linker flags and libraries at the end of the configure run (CFLAGS_END has
+ been implemented already).
+ - platformtest.sh and Makefile.am: Don't use "test -e", it isn't portable.
+ - Update Copyright notices for 2014 :-)
+ - Fix permanent {G|K}LINES (with a timeout of 0 seconds).
+ - WEBIRC: Don't set the hostname received by the WEBIRC command when DNS
+ lookups are disabled, but use the IP address instead.
+ Reported by Toni Spets <toni.spets@iki.fi>, thanks!
+ - Check for working getaddrinfo() function: At least AIX 4.3.3 and 5.1 have a
+ broken implementation of getaddrinfo() which doesn't handle "0" as numeric
+ service correctly. This patch adds a configure check for this case and
+ changes all calling functions to only use getaddrinfo() if it "works".
+ See <http://www.stacken.kth.se/lists/heimdal-discuss/2004-05/msg00059.html>
+ - Only use the unsetenv() function when it is available (AIX 4.3 doesn't
+ support it, for example).
+ - Make sure that the source code is still compatible with the "ansi2knr" tool
+ and builds using non-ANSI K&R C compilers. Tested with Apple C on A/UX.
+ - Fix building ngIRCd without support for ZLIB compression. Reported by
+ "der_baer" on #ngircd, thanks!
+
+ngIRCd 21 (2013-10-30)
+
+ - ./contrib/Debian/ngircd.init: Make sure no stale PID file is left over
+ when (re-)starting ngIRCd.
+ - Change ./contrib/platformtest.sh and update ./doc/Platforms.txt to
+ allow user names up to 8 characters.
+ - Call arc4random_stir() in forked subprocesses, when available. This
+ is required by FreeBSD <10 and current NetBSD at least to correctly
+ initialize the "arc4" random number generator on these platforms.
+ - Update our own Debian package configuration and fix the default path
+ of the "HelpFile" of the "full" package variants.
+
+ ngIRCd 21~rc2 (2013-10-20)
+ - Report the correct configuration file name on configuration errors,
+ support longer configuration lines, and warn when lines are truncated.
+ - Use arc4random() function to generate "random" numbers, when available.
+ - platformtest.sh: Detect clang compiler, and clean up GIT source tree
+ before building (when possible).
+ - Update (date of) manual pages.
+ - Update "Upgrade Information" in INSTALL file, add more systems to
+ doc/Platforms.txt, and fix spelling in NEWS and ChangeLog files =:)
+ - Fix remaining compiler warnings on OpenBSD.
+
+ ngIRCd 21~rc1 (2013-10-05)
- Actually KILL clients on GLINE/KLINE. (Closes bug #156)
- Adjust log messages for invalid and spoofed prefixes, which cleans up
logging of commands related to already KILL'ed clients. And don't
unnecessary duplicates.
- Add support to show all user links using the "STATS L" (uppercase)
command (restricted to IRC Operators).
- - Fixed blocking of server reconnects in some error confitions.
+ - Fixed blocking of server reconnects in some error configurations.
- Don't ignore SSL-related errors during startup any more: abort startup
when SSL is requested by the configuration but can't be initialized and

- Implement configurable SSL cipher list selection for GnuTLS and OpenSSL
using the new configuration option "CipherList". In addition, this
is "syntax error") when there are too many parameters.
- Clean up lots of permission and parameter checks in functions handling
IRC commands; and more consistently add penalty times on errors.
- - Fix error numeric of WHOIS when no nick namename has been provided:

+ - Fix error numeric of WHOIS when no nick name has been provided:

- Only log "IDENT ... no result" messages when an IDENT looked took place
and didn't return any data, not when IDENT has been disabled.
- Show connection flag "s" (SSL) in RPL_TRACE{LINK|SERVER} messages: now
- OS X PackageMaker: use relative path names in project files and package
with correct file permissions (requires root privileges on "make").
- Add Travis-CI configuration file (".travis.yml") to project.
- - Look for possible cloaked Masks in Lists. Users with +x usermode can
+ - Look for possible cloaked Masks in Lists. Users with +x user mode can
be banned with their cloaked hostname now.
- Don't read SSL client data before DNS resolver is finished which could
have resulted in discarding the resolved client hostname and IDENT
the hash function. When "CloakHostSalt" is not set (the default), a
random salt will be generated after each server restart. (Closes #133)
