Now we don't fall back to malloc(), which should be sane anyway. + Patch from Florian Westphal, . + - Added support for the Howl (http://www.porchdogsoft.com/products/howl/) + Rendezvous API, in addition to the API of Apple (Mac OS X). The available + API will be autodetected when you call "./configure --with-rendezvous". + - Made ngIRCd compile on HP/UX 10.20 with native HP pre-ANSI C compiler and + most probably other older C compilers on other systems. + - When the daemon should switch to another user ID (ServerID is defined in + the configuration file) and is not running in a chroot environment, it + changes its working directory to the home directory of this user. This + should enable the system to write proper core files when not running with + root privileges ... + +ngIRCd 0.8.3 (2005-02-03) + + - Fixed a bug that could case a root exploit when the daemon is compiled + to do IDENT lookups and is logging to syslog.

Florian Westphal, . + +ngIRCd 0.8.1 (2004-12-25) + + - Autoconf: Updated config.guess and config.sub + - Added some more debug code ... + - Fixed wrong variable names in output of "ngircd --configtest". + - Debian: Fixed the name of the "default file" in the init script for + ngircd-full packages. And do the test if the binary is executable after + reading this file. + - Enhanced the "test suite": please have a look at src/testsuite/README! + +ngIRCd 0.8.0 (2004-06-26) + + - Fixed wrong buffer size calculation for results of the resolver. + + ngircd 0.8.0-pre2 (2004-05-16) + - Enhanced logging to console when running in "no-detached mode": added + PID and log messages of resolver sub-processes. + - Fixed host name lookups when using IDENT user lookups. + - "make clean" and "make maintainer-clean" remove more files now. + + ngIRCd 0.8.0-pre1 (2004-05-07) + - Two new configuration options: "ChrootDir" and "MotdPhrase", thanks to + Benjamin Pineau . Now you can force the daemon to change + its root and working directory to something "safe". MotdPhrase is used + to define an "MOTD string" instead of a whole file, useful if the + "real" MOTD file would be outside the "jail". + - INVITE- and BAN-lists become synchronized between IRC+ servers when + establishing new connections, if the peer supports this as well. + - Reorganized autogen.sh and configure scripts. + - Fixed a wrong assert() which could cause the daemon to exit spuriously + when closing down connections. + - Better logging of decompression errors returned by zlib. + - Servers other than the destination server didn't clean up the invite + list of an "invite-only" channel properly when an INVITE'd user joined. + - Changed the reply of the MODE command to match the syntax of the + original ircd exactly: the unnecessary but missing ":" before the last + parameter has been added. + - Fixed TRACE: don't output "Serv" lines for ourself; display more info. + - Results of the resolver (hostnames and IDENT names) are discarded after + the client is successfully registered with the server. + - Better logging while establishing and shutting down connections. + - The type of service (TOS) of all sockets is set to "interactive" now. + - Added short command line option "-t" as alternative to "--configtest". + - Added optional support for "IDENT" lookups on incoming connections. You + have to enable this function with the ./configure switch "--with-ident". + The default is not to do IDENT lookups. + +ngIRCd 0.7.7 (2004-02-05) + + - The info text ("real name") of users is set to "-" if none has been + specified using the USER command (e. g. "USER user * * :"). Reason: + the original ircd doesn't like empty ones and would KILL such users. + - Fixed (optional) TCP Wrapper test which was broken and could result in + false results. Thanks to Fuminori Tanizaki ! + - Removed "USE_" prefixes of configuration #defines. + +ngIRCd 0.7.6 (2003-12-05) + + - Fixed abort() ("server crash") when INVITE'ing users to nonexistent + channels. Bug found by . + - Extended version numbering of CVS versions (added date). + - Enhanced/fixed doc/Protocol.txt; + +ngIRCd 0.7.5 (2003-11-07) + + - Fixed ban behavior: users which are banned from a channel can't no + longer send PRIVMSG's to this channel (fixes Bug #47). + - Fixed and enhanced the "penalty handling" of the server: commands that + require more resources block the client for a short time. + - Changed the internal time resolution to one second. + - New configuration variable "MaxConnectionsIP" to limit the number of + simultaneous connections from a single IP that the server will accept. + This configuration options lowers the risk of denial of service attacks + (DoS), the default is 5 connections per client IP. + - Fixed build problems under Mac OS X 10.3. + - Use "-pipe" when compiling with gcc, speeds things up a little :-) + - Added new configuration variable "Listen" to bind all listening + sockets of the server to a single IP address. + - Suppress misleading error message of diff during make run. + - Enhanced test-suite and made it work on GNU/Hurd. + - Fixed minor typo in debug output :-) + +ngIRCd 0.7.1 (2003-07-18) + + - Included files to build Debian packages (located in "debian/"). + - Updated config.guess and config.sub to newer upstream versions. + - NJOIN propagates user channel modes correctly again ... Upsa. + - Made Makefile more compatible with "make -j". + - Added support for GNU/Hurd. + - Fixed a compiler warning related to an unnecessary assert(). + - Enhanced VERSION command when using debug versions. + +ngIRCd 0.7.0 (2003-05-01) + + - "ServerName" is checked better now: a dot (".") is required. + - The KILL command verifies and logs more parameters. + + ngIRCd 0.7.0-pre2 (2003-04-27) + - CVS build system fixes (made autogen.sh more portable). + - Fixed compilation and test-suite on Solaris (tested with 2.6). + - New documentation file "doc/Platforms.txt" describing the status of + ngIRCd on the various tested platforms. + - Test for broken GCC on Mac OS X and disable "-pedantic" in this case. + - Disable "-ansi" on Cygwin: system headers are incompatible. + - The server tried to connect to other servers only once when DNS or + socket failures occurred. + - Fixed --configtest: There is no variable "ServerPwd", it's "Password". + + ngIRCd 0.7.0-pre1 (2003-04-22) + - New signal handler (more secure, actions are executed outside). + - GCC: the compiler is now called with more warning options enabled. + - Replaced a lot of str[n]cpy(), str[n]cat() and sprintf() calls with the + more secure functions strlcpy(), strlcat() and snprintf(). On systems + that don't support strlcpy() and strlcat(), these functions are included + in the libngportab now (with prototypes in portab.h). + - If the server can't close a socket, it panics now. This is an error that + can't occur during normal operation so there is something broken. + - The order of log messages during disconnects is more "natural" now ;-) + - Cleaned up handling of server configuration structures: modifying and + removing servers during runtime works more reliable now. + - Compression code from "conn.[ch]" is now found in new "conn-zip.[ch]" + - Moved some connection functions from "conn.[ch]" to "conn-func.[ch]". + - New command CONNECT to enable and add server links. The syntax is not + RFC-compatible: use "CONNECT " to enable and connect an + configured server and "CONNECT " + to add a new server (ngIRCd tries to connect new servers only once!). + - Added DISCONNECT command ("DISCONNECT ") to disable servers. + - Restructured the documentation: Now the main language is English. The + german documentation has been removed (until there is a maintainer). + - Enhanced killing of users caused by a nickname collision. + - Better error detection for status code ("numerics") forwarding. + - Moved tool functions to own library: "libngtool". + - New command TRACE (you can trace only servers at the moment). + - New command HELP that lists all understood commands. + - There should no longer remain "unknown connections" (see e.g. LUSERS) + if an outgoing server link can't be established. + - Added AC_PREREQ(2.50) to configure.in for better autoconf compatibility. + - Conn_Close() now handles recursive calls for the same link correctly. + - ngIRCd can register itself with Rendezvous: to enable support pass the + new switch "--with-rendezvous" to configure. + - Added support for TCP Wrappers library: pass "--with-tcp-wrappers" to + configure to enable it. + - Changed some configure options to use "--with"/"--without" as prefix + instead of "--enable"/"--disable": "--without-syslog", "--without-zlib", + "--with-tcp-wrappers", and "--with-rendezvous". + - Better error reporting to clients on connect. + - Enhanced manual pages ngircd(8) and ngircd.conf(5). + - Documentation is now installed in $(datadir)/doc/ngircd. + - Enhanced hanling of NJOIN in case of nick collisions. + +ngIRCd 0.6.1, 2003-01-21 + + - Fixed KILL: you can't crash the server by killing yourself any more, + ngIRCd no longer sends a QUIT to other servers after the KILL, and you + can kill only valid users now. + - The server no longer forwards commands to ordinary users, instead it + answers with the correct error message ("no such server") now. + - WHOIS commands weren't always forwarded as requested. + - The server sets a correct default AWAY message now when propagating + between servers (bug introduced in 0.6.0). + - Fixed up and enhanced CHANINFO command: channel keys and user limits + are synchronized between servers now, too. + - MODE returns the key and user limit for channel members correctly now. + - Non-members of a channel could crash the server when trying to change + its modes or modes of its members. + - The server didn't validate weather a target user is a valid channel + member when changing his channel user modes which could crash ngIRCd. + + +Older changes (sorry, only available in german language): + +ngIRCd 0.6.0, 2002-12-24 + + ngIRCd 0.6.0-pre2, 2002-12-23 + - neuer Numeric 005 ("Features") beim Connect. + - LUSERS erweitert: nun wird die maximale Anzahl der lokalen und globalen + Clients, die dem Server bzw. im Netzwerk seit dem letzten (Re-)Start + dem Server gleichzeitig bekannt waren, angezeigt. + + ngIRCd 0.6.0-pre1, 2002-12-18 - beim Schliessen einer Verbindung zeigt der Server nun vor dem ERROR noch eine Statistik ueber die empfangene und gesendete Datenmenge an. - der Server wartet bei einer eingehenden Verbindung nun laenger auf den @@ -19,7 +375,7 @@ ngIRCd CVS-HEAD Login sofort fort (bisher wurde immer mind. 1 Sekunde gewartet). - Connection-Strukturen werden nun "pool-weise" verwaltet; der Pool wird bei Bedarf bis zu einem konfigurierten Limit vergroessert. - - Mit der neuen Konfigurationsvariable "MaxConnections" (Sekion "Global") + - Mit der neuen Konfigurationsvariable "MaxConnections" (Sektion "Global") kann die maximale Anzahl gleichzeitiger Verbindungen begrenzt werden.
