Thanks to + shankari . + Closes #254. + - Implement new configuration option "MaxPenaltyTime", which configures the + maximum penalty time increase in seconds, per penalty event. Set to -1 for + no limit (the default), 0 to disable penalties altogether. ngIRCd doesn't + use penalty increases higher than 2 seconds during normal operation, so + values higher than 1 rarely make sense. + Disabling (or reducing) penalties can greatly speed up "make check" runs + for example, see below, but are mostly a debugging feature and normally + not meant to be used on production systems! + Some example timings running "make check" from my macOS workstation: + - MaxPenaltyTime not set: 4:41,79s + - "MaxPenaltyTime = 1": 3:14,71s + - "MaxPenaltyTime = 0": 25,46s + Closes #249 and #251. + - Fix compilation without deprecated OpenSSL APIs.

Thanks a lot to Joseph Bisch + for discovering and reporting this issue! + - Only send TOPIC updates to a channel when the topic actually changed: + This prevents the channel from becoming flooded by unnecessary TOPIC update + messages, that can happen when IRC services try to enforce a certain topic + but which is already set (at least on the local server), for example. + Therefore still forward it to all servers, but don't inform local clients + (still update setter and timestamp information, though). + - Update Xcode project for latest Xcode version (9.2). This includes adding + missing and deleting obsolete file references. + - Handle user mode "C" ("Only users that share a channel are allowed to send + messages") like user mode "b" ("block private messages and notices"): allow + messages from servers, services, and IRC Operators, too. Change proposed by + "wowaname" back in 2015 in #ngircd, thanks! + - Fix some compiler warnings. + - Add contrib/ngircd.logcheck: Some sample logcheck(8) rules. + - Allow IRC Ops and remote servers to KILL service clients: such clients + behave like regular users, therefore IRC operators and servers should be + able to KILL them: for example to resolve nick collisions. + Closes #242. + - Don't forward KILLs to other servers if they've been blocked locally: + This prevents clients from killing IRC services, for example. + Closes #238 and #239. + - Fix a cross-compiler issue related to the Get_Error() function. + Closes #240 and #241. + - Update ./doc/Services.txt, enhance configuration examples. + +ngIRCd 24 (2017-01-20) + + - Make sure that ./contrib/platformtest.sh aborts when ./autogen.sh fails. + - Update config.guess (2016-10-02) and config.sub (2016-11-04) files. + - Build Debian packages with OpenSSL instead of GnuTLS: OpenSSL allows + to reload used certificates on runtime for example (which is very + useful when using Let's Encrypt), and therefore is preferred. And + explicitly specify the "source format". + - Fix handling of connection pool allocation and enlargement: up to now, + the daemon only enlarged its connection pool when accepting new incoming + client or server connections, not when establishing new outgoing server + links, which could lead to problems when hitting the configured limit, + see "MaxConnections". Thanks to Lukas Braun (k00mi) for reporting this! + Closes #231. + + ngIRCd 24~rc1 (2017-01-07) + - Enhance systemd service file, and install it in Debian package. + - Update configuration of Debian package. - Log privilege violations and failed OPER request with log level "error" and send it to the "&SERVER" channel, too. - Immediately shut down connection when receiving an "ERROR" command,
