-ngIRCd Release 19.1
-
- - Really include _all_ patchtes to build the Anope module into the
+ngIRCd
+
+ - New configuration option "MaxListSize" to configure the maximum number
+ of channels returned by a LIST command. The default is 100, as before.
+ - Implement user mode "b", "block messages": when a user has set mode "b",
+ all private messages and notices to this user are blocked if they don't
+ originate from a registered user, an IRC Op, server or service. The
+ originator gets an error numeric sent back in this case,
+ ERR_NONONREG_MSG (486), which is used by UnrealIRCd, too. (Closes #144)
+ - Implement channel mode "V" (invite disallow): If the new channel mode
+ "V" is set, the INVITE command becomes invalid and all clients get the
+ new ERR_NOINVITE_MSG (518) reply. (Closes #143)
+ - Implement channel mode "Q" and user mode "q": Both modes protect users
+ from channel kicks: only IRC operators and servers can kick users having
+ mode "q" or in channels with mode "Q". (Closes #141)
+ - Allow users to "cloak" their hostname only when the configuration
+ variable "CloakHostModeX" (introduced in 19.2) is set. Otherwise, only
+ IRC operators, other servers, and services are allowed to set the user
+ mode "+x": this prevents regular users from changing their hostmask to
+ the name of the IRC server itself, which confused quite a few people ;-)
+ (Closes #133)
+ - New configuration option "OperChanPAutoOp": If disabled, IRC operators
+ don't become channel operators in persistent channels when joining.
+ Enabled by default, which has been the behavior of ngIRCd up to this
+ patch. (Closes #135)
+ - Allow IRC operators to see secret (+s) channels in LIST command as long
+ as the "MorePrivacy" configuration option isn't enabled in the
+ configuration file. (Closes #136)
+ - Implement new (optional) IRC+ "CHARCONV" command to set a client
+ character set that the server translates all messages to/from UTF-8.
+ This feature requires the "libiconv" library and must be enabled using
+ the new "--with-iconv" option of the ./configure script. See
+ doc/Protocol.txt for details. (Closes #109)
+ - Implement user mode "B" ("Bot flag"): it is settable and unsettable by
+ every (non-restricted) client. This is how Unreal and InspIRCd do
+ behave, and so do we :-)
+ - Implement channel mode "M": Only the server, identified users and IRC
+ operators are able to talk in such a channel.
+ - Block nicknames that are reserved for services and are defined using the
+ configuration variable "ServiceMask" in "Server" blocks; And this
+ variable now can handle more than one mask separated by commas.
+ - Implemented XOP channel user modes: "Half Op" ("+h", prefix "%") can set
+ the channel modes +imntvIbek and kick all +v and normal users; "Admin"
+ ("+a", prefix "&") can set channel modes +imntvIbekoRsz and kick all +o,
+ +h, +v and normal users; and "Owner" ("+q", prefix "~") can set channel
+ modes +imntvIbekoRsz and kick all +a, +o, +h, +v and normal users.
+ - Implement hashed cloaked hostnames for both the "CloakHost" and
+ "CloakHostModeX" configuration options: now the admin can use the new
+ '%x' placeholder to insert a hashed version of the clients hostname,
+ and the new configuration option "CloakHostSalt" defines the salt for
+ the hash function. When "CloakHostSalt" is not set (the default), a
+ random salt will be generated after each server restart.
+
+ngIRCd Release 19.2 (2012-06-19)
+
+ ngIRCd 19.2~rc1 (2012-06-13)
+ - New configuration option "CloakHostModeX" to configure the hostname
+ that gets used for IRC clients which have user mode "+x" enabled.
+ Up to now, the name of the IRC server itself has been used for this,
+ which still is the default when "CloakHostModeX" isn't set.
+ - Add instructions for setting up Atheme IRC services.
+ - Implement support for IRC capability handling, the new "CAP" command,
+ and capablity "multi-prefix" which allows both the NAME and WHO command
+ handlers to return more than one "class prefix" to the client.
+
+ngIRCd Release 19.1 (2012-03-19)
+
+ - Really include _all_ patches to build the Anope module into the
distribution archive ... ooops!
ngIRCd Release 19 (2012-02-29)
ngIRCd 19~rc1 (2012-02-12)
- Update preliminary ngIRCd protocol module for Anope 1.9.6, which now
is the only supported version.
- - New numeric RPL_WHOISHOST_MSG(378), which returns the DNS hostname
+ - New numeric RPL_WHOISHOST_MSG(378), which returns the DNS host name
(if available) and the IP address of a client in the WHOIS reply.
Only the user itself and local IRC operators get this numeric.
- Implement channel exception list (mode 'e'). This allows a channel
(booleans, text strings, integer numbers) and add type information to each
variable description.
- Terminate incoming connections on HTTP commands "GET" and "POST".
- - New configuration option "CloakHost": when set, this hostname is used for
- every client instead of the real DNS hostname (or IP address).
+ - New configuration option "CloakHost": when set, this host name is used for
+ every client instead of the real DNS host name (or IP address).
- New configuration option "CloakUserToNick": when enabled, ngIRCd sets
every clients' user name to their nick name and hides the user name
supplied by the IRC client.
- 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).
+ - Implement user mode "x": host name 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.
- Implemented IRC commands INFO, SUMMON (dummy), and USERS (dummy) and
enhanced test suite to check these commands. (Dana Dahlstrom)
- IRC_WHO now supports search patterns and will test this against user
- nickname/servername/hostname, etc. as required by RFC 2812, Section 3.6.1.
+ nickname/server name/host name, etc. as required by RFC 2812, Section 3.6.1.
(reported by Dana Dahlstrom)
- Implement RFC 2812 handling of "0" argument to 'JOIN': must be treated
as if the user had sent PART commands for all channels the user is a
