ngIRCd CVSHEAD
- - ngircd startup: never run with root privileges, i.e. always switch uid.
- - Make Netsplit Messages RFC compliant.
- - Fix handling of QUIT Messages: send only one message, even if client
+
+ - 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
+ 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 0.9.0 (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.
+ - 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" ...
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 ...
