Default: off. + Idea of Florian Westphal, . + - Code cleanups from Florian Westphal, . + - Raised the maximum length of passwords to 20 characters. + - Fixed a memory leak when resizing the connection pool and realloc() + failed. 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 it's 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.

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.

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. - - Clients werden beim Connect mit NOTICEs ueber den Status der Resolver- - Subprozesse informiert. + - der Server wartet bei einer eingehenden Verbindung nun laenger auf den + Resolver (4 Sekunden), wenn das Ergebnis eintrifft setzt er aber den + 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" (Sektion "Global") + kann die maximale Anzahl gleichzeitiger Verbindungen begrenzt werden. + Der Default ist -1, "unlimitiert". + - der Server erkennt nun, ob bereits eine eingehende Verbindung von einem + Peer-Server besteht und versucht dann nicht mehr, selber eine eigene + ausgehende Verbindung zu diesem auufzubauen. Dadurch kann nun auf beiden + Servern in der Konfiguration ein Port fuer den Connect konfiguriert + werden (beide Server versuchen sich dann gegenseitig zu connectieren). + - Test-Suite und Dokumentation an A/UX angepasst. + - unter HP-UX definiert das configure-Script nun _XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED. + - Server identifizieren sich nun mit asyncronen Passwoertern, d.h. das + Passwort, welches A an B schickt, kann ein anderes sein als das, welches + B als Antwort an A sendet. In der Konfig.-Datei, Abschnitt "Server", + wurde "Password" dazu durch "MyPassword" und "PeerPassword" ersetzt. + - Der Server kann nun zur Laufzeit die Konfiguration neu einlesen: dies + macht er nach dem Befehl REHASH oder wenn ein HUP-Signal empfangen wird. + - Channel-Mode "P" ("persistent") kann nur noch von IRC-Operatoren gesetzt + werden. Grund: User koennen den Server sonst leicht "Channel-Flooden". + - MOTD kann nun an andere Server geforwarded werden. + - IRC-Befehl "TIME" implementiert. + - Server-Server-Links koennen nun komprimiert werden, dazu wird die zlib + (www.zlib.org) benoetigt. Unterstuetzt die Gegenseite die Komprimierung + nicht, wird automatisch unkomprimiert kommuniziert. Das Verfahren ist + kompatibel mit dem Original-ircd 2.10.3, d.h. beide Server koennen + miteinander ueber komprimiert Links kommunizieren. + - Handling der Schreibpuffer umgestellt: Server sollte schneller arbeiten. + - Prefix-Fehler werden besser protokolliert (mit verursachendem Befehl). + - SQUIT wird nicht mehr doppelt an andere Server weitergeleitet. + - Der Server versucht nun vor dem Schliessen einer Verbindung Daten, die + noch im Schreibpuffer stehen, zu senden. + - Source in weiteres Modul "irc-info" aufgespalten. + - Konfigurationsvariablen werden besser validiert: Laengen, Zahlen, ... + - neuen Befehl STATS begonnen: bisher unterstuetzt wird "l" und "m". + - bei ISON und USERHOST fehlte im Ergebnis-String der korrekte Absender. + - IRC Operatoren koennen nun mit KILL User toeten. Achtung: ein Grund muss + zwingend als zweiter Parameter angegeben werden! + - neue Konfigurations-Variable "MaxJoins": Hiermit kann die maximale Zahl + der Channels, in denen ein User Mitglied sein kann, begrent werden. + - neuer, deutlich flexiblerer Parser fuer den MODE Befehl. + - neue Channel-Modes l (User-Limit) und k (Channel-Key) implementiert. + +ngIRCd 0.5.4, 24.11.2002 + + - Fehler-Handling von connect() gefixed: der Server kann sich nun auch + unter A/UX wieder zu anderen verbinden. + - in den Konfigurationsvariablen ServerUID und ServerGID kann nun nicht + nur die numerische ID, sondern auch der Name des Users bzw. der Gruppe + verwendet werden. Beim Start des Daemons wird nun beides angezeigt. + - Besseres Logging von Prefix-Fehlern. + - angenommene Sockets werden nun korrekt auf "non-blocking" konfiguriert, + beim Senden und Empfangen werden Blockierungen besser abgefangen. + - RPL_UMODEIS hat Code 221, nicht 211 ... *argl* + - select() in Try_Write() hat falschen (keinen!) Timeout verwendet; + die "Zeit-Aufloesung" des Servers sind zudem nun 2 Sekunden (TIME_RES). + Insgesamt sollte die Reaktionszeit des Server nun besser sein. + +ngIRCd 0.5.3, 08.11.2002 + - NOTICE liefert nun wirklich nie mehr einen Fehler, auch dann nicht, wenn der sendende Client noch gar nicht registriert ist. - - NOTICEs vom Server selber (z.B. Verbindungsstatistik oder s-Mode) - haben nun ein "Text-Prefix": "*** ". - ein "schneller Server-Reconnect" wird nur noch dann versucht, wenn die Verbindung zuvor ordentlich (="lange genug") in Ordnung war; somit also nicht meht, wenn der Peer-Server gleich beim Connect ein ERROR liefert. Das vermeidet "Connect-Orgien". - einige Datentypen aufgeraumt: z.B. sind viele INT32s nun LONGs. Das ist auf Platformen mit 8-Byte-Integern kompatibler. - - der Server wartet bei einer eingehenden Verbindung nun laenger auf den - Resolver (4 Sekunden), wenn das Ergebnis eintrifft setzt er aber den - Login sofort fort (bisher wurde immer mind. 1 Sekunde gewartet). - + - RPL_YOURHOST_MSG ist nun ircII- und RFC-kompatibel ;-) + - Segfault unter hoher Netzaktivitaet behoben: in Conn_Close() wird die + Connection-Struktur nun frueher als "ungueltig" markiert. ngIRCd 0.5.2, 04.10.2002 @@ -258,7 +553,6 @@ ngIRCd 0.1.0, 29.01.2002 - Clients werden nun korrekt sowohl nur ueber den Nickname als auch die komplette "Host Mask" erkannt. - ngIRCd 0.0.3, 16.01.2002 - Server-Links vollstaendig implementiert: der ngIRCd kann nun auch @@ -305,4 +599,4 @@ ngIRCd 0.0.1, 31.12.2001 -- -$Id: ChangeLog,v 1.107 2002/10/10 15:00:09 alex Exp $ +$Id: ChangeLog,v 1.270 2005/05/16 12:25:15 alex Exp $
