+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.
+ - doc/Services.txt: Update information for Anope 2.x.
+ - 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).
+ - Update Copyright notices for 2014 :-)
+
+ngIRCd 21 (2013-10-30)
+
+ - 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.
+
+ 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.
+
+ ngIRCd 21~rc1 (2013-10-05)
+ - Actually KILL clients on GLINE/KLINE. (Closes bug #156)
+ - Add support to show all user links using the "STATS L" (uppercase)
+ command (restricted to IRC Operators).
+ - Implement configurable SSL cipher list selection for GnuTLS and OpenSSL
+ using the new configuration option "CipherList". In addition, this
+ changes the defaults to more secure values: "HIGH:!aNULL:@STRENGTH" for
+ OpenSSL, and "SECURE128" for GnuTLS.
+ - Show connection flag "s" (SSL) in RPL_TRACE{LINK|SERVER} messages: now
+ you can check if a server-to-server link is SSL-encrypted or not using
+ the IRC "TRACE" command.
+ - Implement the new configuration option "DefaultUserModes" which lists
+ user modes that become automatically set on new local clients right
+ after login. Please note that only modes can be set that the client
+ could set on itself, so you can't set "a" (away) or "o" (IRC Op),
+ for example! User modes "i" (invisible) or "x" (cloaked) etc. are
+ "interesting", though. (Closes bug #160)
+ - Add support for the new METADATA "account" property, which allows
+ services to automatically identify users after netsplits and across
+ service restarts.
+ - Implement a new configuration option "AllowedChannelTypes" that lists
+ all allowed channel types (channel prefixes) for newly created channels
+ on the local server. By default, all supported channel types are allowed.
+ If set to the empty string, local clients can't create new channels at
+ all, which equals the old "PredefChannelsOnly = yes" setting.
+ This change deprecates the "PredefChannelsOnly" variable, too, but it is
+ still supported and translated to the appropriate "AllowedChannelTypes"
+ setting. When the old "PredefChannelsOnly" variable is processed, a
+ warning message is logged. (Closes bug #152)
+ - Add support for "client certificate fingerprinting". When a client
+ passes an SSL certificate to the server, the "fingerprint" will be
+ forwarded in the network which enables IRC services to identify the
+ user using this certificate and not using passwords.
- Implement a new configuration option "IncludeDir" in the "[Options]"
section that can be used to specify a directory which can contain
further configuration files and configuration file snippets matching
InspIRCd, for example -- but as usual, other numerics are in use, too,
like 613 in UltimateIRCd ...
Please note that neither the Operator (+o) not the "bot status" (+B)
- of an IRC service id displayed in the output.
+ of an IRC service is displayed in the output.
- Update systemd(8) example configuration files in ./contrib/ directory:
the "ngircd.service" file now uses the "forking" service type which
enhances the log messages shown by "systemctl status ngircd.service",
and then is used to output individual help texts to specific topics.
Please see the file ./doc/Commands.txt for details.
+ngIRCd 20.3 (2013-08-23)
+
+ - This release is a bugfix release only, without new features.
+ - Security: Fix a denial of service bug (server crash) which could happen
+ when the configuration option "NoticeAuth" is enabled (which is NOT the
+ default) and ngIRCd failed to send the "notice auth" messages to new
+ clients connecting to the server (CVE-2013-5580).

random salt will be generated after each server restart.
