+ngIRCd 26

+ ngIRCd 26~rc2
+ - Add AppStream metadata file (contrib/de.barton.ngircd.metainfo.xml).
+ - Various bug fixes, see the ChangeLog. No new or changed functionality.
+
+ ngIRCd 26~rc1 (2020-05-10)
+ - Allow up to 512 characters per line in MOTD and help text files (but keep
+ in mind that lines can't get that long, because they have to be prefixed
+ before being sent to the client). But this allows for more fancy MOTDs :-)
+ Closes #271.
+ - Show the actually allowed channel types in the ISUPPORT(005) numeric which
+ are configured by the "AllowedChannelTypes" configuration variable.
+ Closes #273.
+ - Handle commands in the read buffer before reading more data and don't wait
+ for the network in this case: If there are more bytes in the read buffer
+ already than a single valid IRC command can get long (513 bytes), wait for
+ this/those command(s) to be handled first and don't try to read even more
+ data from the network (which most probably would overflow the read buffer
+ of this connection soon).
+ - Log G-/K-Line changes only when not initiated by a server: this prevents
+ the log from becoming spammed during "net bursts".
+ - Update test suite to include SSL tests, including checking for reloading
+ certificates during runtime.
+ - Add support for GnuTLS certificate reload, which is quite handy when using
+ Let's Encrypt, for example. Until now this was only supported when linked
+ with OpenSSL. Thanks a lot, Hilko Bengen <bengen@hilluzination.de>!
+ - Allow setting arbitrary channel modes in the configuration file by handling
+ them like in MODE commands, and allow multiple "Modes =" lines per [Channel]
+ section. Thanks to Michi <michi+ngircd@dataswamp.org>!
+ Closes #55.
+ - Add "FNC" (forced nick changes) to ISUPPORT(005) numeric. Most probably
+ this doesn't make any difference to any client, but it seems correct.
+ See <http://www.irc.org/tech_docs/005.html> for details.
+ - Enhance handling of command line errors, and return with exit code 0 ("no
+ error") when "--help" or "--version" is used (which resulted in exit code 1,
+ "error" before). Exit with code 2 ("command line error") for all other
+ invalid command line options, and show the error message itself on stderr
+ (instead of stdout and exit code 1, "generic error", as before).
+ This new behaviour is more in line with the GNU "coding standards",
+ see <https://www.gnu.org/prep/standards/html_node/_002d_002dhelp.html>.
+ - Add ./contrib/nglog.sh: This script parses the log output of ngircd(8),
+ and colorizes the messages according to their log level. Example usage:
+ ngircd -f $PWD/doc/sample-ngircd.conf -np | ./contrib/nglog.sh
+ - Enlarge buffers of info texts to 128 bytes. This includes:
+ - "Real name" of a client (4th filed of the USER command).
+ - Server info text ("Info" configuration option).
+ - Admin info texts and email address ("AdminInfo1", "AdminInfo2" and
+ "AdminEmail" configuration options).
+ - Network name ("Network" configuration option).
+ The limit was 64 bytes before ...
+ Closes #258.
+ - Streamline handling of invalid and unset server name: Don't exit during
+ runtime (REHASH command, HUP signal), because the server name can't be
+ changed in this case anyway and the new invalid name will be ignored.
+ - Slightly reorder startup steps, and enhance logging:
+ - Show name of configuration file at the beginning of start up.
+ - Add a message when ngIRCd is ready, including its host name.
+ - Show name of configuration file on REHASH (SIGHUP), too.
+ - Change level of "done message" to NOTICE, like "starting" & "ready".
+ - Initialize IO functions before channels, connections, clients, ...
+ - configure.ng: OpenSSL can depends on lz or latomic so use pkg-config to
+ find those dependencies and fallback to existing mechanism.
+ Closes #256.
