Part and quit + messages are made to look the same. WHOWAS requests are silently dropped. + All of this is useful if one wish to conceal users that access the ngircd + servers from TOR or I2P. + - New configuration option "ScrubCTCP" to scrub incoming CTCP commands. If + activated, the server silently drops incoming CTCP requests from both + other servers and from users. The server that scrubs CTCP will not forward + the CTCP requests to other servers in the network either, which can spell + trouble if not every oper knows about the CTCP-scrubbing. Scrubbing CTCP + commands also means that it is not possible to send files between users. + There is one exception to the CTCP scrubbing performed: ACTION ("/me + commands") requests are not scrubbed. + - Display configuration errors more prominent on "--configtest". + - Restructure ngIRCd configuration file: introduce new [Limits], [Options], + and [SSL] sections. The intention of this restructuring is to make the + [Global] section much cleaner, so that it only contains variables that + most installations must adjust to the local requirements. All the optional + variables are moved to [Limits], for configurable limits and timers of + ngIRCd, and [Options], for optional features. All SSL-related variables + are moved to [SSL] and the "SSL"-prefix is stripped. The old variables in + the [Global] section are deprecated now, but are still recognized. + => Don't forget to check your configuration, use "ngircd --configtest"! + - New documentation "how to contribute": doc/Contributing.txt. + - Slightly fix error handling when connecting to remote servers. + - GnuTLS: bump DH-bitsize to 2048: this solves the problem that some clients + refuse to connect to severs that only offer 1024. For interoperability it + would be best to just use 4096 bits, but that takes minutes, even on + current hardware ... + - contrib/platformtest.sh: fix gcc version detection. + - Avoid needlessly scary 'buffer overflow' messages: When the write buffer + space grows too large, ngIRCd has to disconnect the client to avoid + wasting too much memory, which is logged with a scary 'write buffer + overflow' message. Change this to a more descriptive wording. + - Require server prefixes for most commands on RFC2812 links. RFC1459 links + (often used by services, for example) are not affected. + - Mac OS X: update installer functionality, texts, and add our logo :-) + - New configuration option "RequireAuthPing": PING-PONG on login. When + enabled, this configuration option lets ngIRCd send a PING with an numeric + "token" to clients logging in; and it will not become registered in the + network until the client responds with the correct PONG. + - New configuration option "NoticeAuth": send NOTICE AUTH on connect. When + active, ngircd will send "NOTICE AUTH" messages on client connect time + like e.g. snircd (QuakeNet) does. + - Generate WALLOPS message on SQUIT from IRC operators; so SQUIT now behaves + like CONNECT and DISCONNECT commands, when called by an IRC operator. + - Allow servers to send more commands in the first 10 seconds ("burst"). This + helps to speed up server login and network synchronization. + - Add support for up to 3 targets in WHOIS queries, also allow up to one + wildcard query from local hosts. Follows ircd 2.10 implementation rather + than RFC 2812. At most 10 entries are returned per wildcard expansion. + - ngircd.conf(5) manual page: describe types of configuration variables + (booleans, text strings, integer numbers) and add type information to each + variable description. + - Don't use "the.net" in sample-ngircd.conf, use "example.net". + - 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 "CloakUserToNick": when enabled, ngIRCd sets + every clients' user name to their nick name and hides the user name + supplied by the IRC client. + - doc/Protocol.txt: Update description of the CHANINFO and WEBIRC commands. + - Doxygen'ify (document) much more source files; code cleanup ... + - Make write buffers bigger, but flush early. Before this change, a client + got disconnected if the buffer flushing at 4k failed, now regular clients + can store up to 32k and servers up 64k even if flushing is not possible at + the moment. This enhances reliability on slow links. + - Don't access possibly free'd CLIENT structure. Ooops. + - Allow "Port = 0" in [Server] blocks. Port number 0 marks remote servers + that try to connect to this daemon, but where this daemon never tries to + establish a connection on its own: only incoming connections are allowed. + - Configuration: fix 'Value of "..." is not a number!' for negative values. + - Enable WHOIS command to return information about services. + - Implement channel mode 'O': "IRC operators only". This channel mode is + used on DALnet (bahamut), for example. + - Remove support for ZeroConf/Bonjour/Rendezvous service registration + including the "[No]ZeroConf" configuration option. + - TOPIC command: test for channel admin rights correctly: this enables other + servers, services and IRC operators to change channel topics, even when + the client is not joined to this channel. + - Deprecate NoXX-Options in ngircd.conf and move new variants into our new + [Options] section: 'NoDNS=no' => 'DNS=yes', 'NoIdent=no' => 'Ident=yes', + 'NoPAM=no' => 'PAM=yes', and 'NoZeroConf=no' => 'ZeroConf=yes' (and + vice-versa). The defaults are adjusted accordingly and the old variables + in [Global] are still accepted, so there is no functional change. + - Fix confusing "adding to invite list" debug messages: adding entries to + ban list produced 'invite list' debug output ... + - Don't throttle services and servers being registered. + - Xcode: correctly sort files :-) + - Don't assert() when searching a client for an invalid server token (this is + only relevant when a trusted server on a server-server link sends invalid + commands). + +ngIRCd Release 17.1 (2010-12-19) + + - --configtest: remember if MOTD is configured by file or phrase + - Enhance log messages when establishing server links a little bit + - Reset ID of outgoing server link on DNS error correctly + - Don't log critical (or worse) messages to stderr + - Manual page ngircd(8): add SIGNALS section + - Manual pages: update and simplify AUTHORS section + - Remove "error file" when compiled with debug code enabled + - README: Updated list of implemented commands + - add doc/README-Interix.txt and doc/Bopm.txt to distribution tarball + - Merge branch 'numeric-329' + - add doc/PAM.txt to distribution tarball + - New numeric 329: get channel creation time on "MODE #chan" commands + - Save channel creation time; new function Channel_CreationTime() + +ngIRCd Release 17 (2010-11-07) + + - doc: change path names in sample-ngircd.conf depending on sysconfdir + - Fix up generation and distribution of sample-ngircd.conf + - contrib/ngircd-redhat.init: updated email address of Naoya Nakazawa + - contrib/platformtest.sh: make command name quoting consistent + + ngIRCd 17~rc3 (2010-10-27) + - Xcode builds: detect version number correctly, updateed project file + to use the Mac OS X 10.5.x SDK, disable pam_fail_delay() because it + is only available starting with Mac OS X 10.6, and generate a default + PAM configuration for the Mac OS X Installer.app package of ngIRCd. + - Debian: updated standards version to 3.9.1, added libpam0g-dev to the + dependencies, and install a default /etc/pam.d/ngircd allowing all logins. + - Make contrib/platformtest.sh more portable. + - Fix connect attempts to further IP addresses of outgoing server links. + + ngIRCd 17~rc2 (2010-10-25) + - ZeroConf: include header files missing since commit a988bbc86a. + - Generate ngIRCd version number from GIT tag. + - Make sourcecode compatible with ansi2knr again.
