-ngIRCd Release 14~rc1
-
+ngIRCd
+
+ - Deprecate NoXX-Options in ngircd.conf: 'NoDNS=no' => 'DNS=yes',
+ 'NoIdent=no' => 'Ident=yes', 'NoPAM=no' => 'PAM=yes', and
+ 'NoZeroConf=no' => 'ZeroConf=yes' (and vice-versa).
+ The defaults are adjusted accordingly and the old variables are still
+ accepted, so there is no functional change.
+ - Don't throttle services and servers beeing registered.
+
+ngIRCd Release 17.1 (2010-12-19)
+
+ - Don't log critical (or worse) messages to stderr
+ - Remove "error file" when compiled with debug code enabled
+ - New numeric 329: get channel creation time on "MODE #chan" commands
+
+ngIRCd Release 17 (2010-11-07)
+
+ - doc: change path names in sample-ngircd.conf depending on sysconfdir
+
+ ngIRCd 17~rc2 (2010-10-25)
+ - Generate ngIRCd version number from GIT tag.
+ - Make sourcecode compatible with ansi2knr again. This allows to compile
+ ngIRCd using a pre-ANSI K&R C compiler again.
+
+ ngIRCd 17~rc1 (2010-10-11)
+ - New configuration option "NoZeroConf" to disable service registration at
+ runtime even if ngIRCd is compiled with support for ZeroConf (e.g. using
+ Howl, Avahi or on Mac OS X).
+ - New configuration option "SyslogFacility" to define the syslog "facility"
+ (the "target"), to which ngIRCd should send its log messages.
+ Possible values are system dependant, but most probably "auth", "daemon",
+ "user" and "local1" through "local7" are possible values; see syslog(3).
+ Default is "local5" for historical reasons.
+ - Dump the "internal server state" (configured servers, established
+ connections and known clients) to the console or syslog when receiving
+ the SIGUSR2 signal and debug mode is enabled.
+ - Enable the daemon to disable and enable "debug mode" on runtime using
+ signal SIGUSR1, when debug code is compiled in, not only on startup
+ using the command line parameters.
+ - Implement user mode "x": hostname cloaking (closes: #102).
+ - Change MOTD file handling: ngIRCd now caches the contens of the MOTD
+ file, so the daemon now requires a HUP signal or REHASH command to
+ re-read the MOTD file when its content changed.
+ - Allow IRC ops to change channel modes even without OperServerMode set.
+ - Allow IRC operators to use MODE command on any channel (closes: #100).
+ - New configuration option "NoPAM" to disable PAM.
+ - Implement asynchronous user authentication using PAM, please see the
+ file doc/PAM.txt for details.
+ - Add some documentation for using BOPM with ngIRCd, see doc/Bopm.txt.
+ - Implement user mode "c": receive connect/disconnect NOTICEs. Note that
+ this new mode requires the user to be an IRC operator.
+ - Show SSL status in WHOIS output, numeric 275.
+
+ngIRCd Release 16 (2010-05-02)
+
+ ngIRCd 16~rc2 (2010-04-25)
+ - Enhace connection statistics counters: display total number of served
+ connections on daemon shutdown and when a new client connects using
+ the new numeric RPL_STATSCONN (250).
+
+ ngIRCd 16~rc1 (2010-03-25)
+ - Implement WEBIRC command used by some Web-IRC frontends. The password
+ required to secure this command must be configured using the new
+ "WebircPassword" variable in the ngircd.conf file.
+ - Remove limit on max number of configured irc operators.
+ - A new channel mode "secure connections only" (+z) has been implemented:
+ Only clients using a SSL encrypted connection to the server are allowed
+ to join such a channel.
+ But please note three things: a) already joined clients are not checked
+ when setting this mode, b) IRC operators are always allowed to join
+ every channel, and c) remote clients using a server not supporting this
+ mode are not checked either and therefore always allowed to join.
+
+ngIRCd Release 15 (2009-11-07)
+
+ ngIRCd 15~rc1 (2009-10-15)
+ - Do not add default listening port (6667) if SSL ports were specified, so
+ ngIRCd can be configured to only accept SSL-encrypted connections now.
+ - Enable IRC operators to use the IRC command SQUIT (insted of the already
+ implemented but non-standard DISCONNECT command).
+ - New configuration option "AllowRemoteOper" (disabled by default) that
+ enables remote IRC operators to use the IRC commands SQUIT and CONNECT
+ on the local server.
+ - Enforce upper limit on maximum number of handled commands. This implements
+ a throttling scheme: an IRC client can send up to 3 commands or 256 bytes
+ per second before a one second pause is enforced.
+
+ngIRCd Release 14.1 (2009-05-05)
+
+ - Security: fix remotely triggerable crash in SSL/TLS code.
+ - Debian: build ngircd-full-dbg package.
+ - Allow ping timeout quit messages to show the timeout value.
+
+ngIRCd Release 14 (2009-04-20)
+
+ ngIRCd 14~rc1 (2009-03-29)
- Allow creation of persistent modeless channels.
- The INFO command reports the compile time now (if available).
- Support individual channel keys for pre-defined channels: introduce
here a file can be configured for each pre-defined channel which contains
individual channel keys for different users.
- Remove limit on maximum number of predefined channels in ngircd.conf.
- - Implement pre-defined server local channels ("&") and write some
- server-specific messages to &SERVER.
