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 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.

Detected by + Florian Westphal, . + - Fixed return values of our own implementation of strlcpy().
