See "man 5 ngircd.conf" for details. + - Fixed handling of WHO commands. This fixes two bugs: "WHO " + returned nothing at all if the user was "+i" (reported by Cahata, + thanks) and "WHO " returned channel names instead + of "*" when the user was member of a (visible) channel. + - LUSERS reply: only count channels that are visible to the requesting + client, so the existence of secret channels is no longer revealed by + using LUSERS. Reported by Cahata, thanks! + - Unknown user and channel modes no longer stop the mode parser, but + are simply ignored. Therefore modes after the unknown one are now + handled. This is how ircd2.10/ircd2.11/ircd-seven behave, at least. + Reported by Cahata, thanks! + - Implement IRC commands "GLINE" and "KLINE" to ban users. G-Lines are + synchronized between server on peering, K-Lines are local only. + - Xcode: update project file for Xcode 4.2. + - Only close "unrelated" sockets in forked child processes: This fixes + the problem that ngIRCd can't do any IDENT lookups because of the + socket has already been closed in the child process. + The bug has been introduced starting with ngIRCd 17 ... :-( + (commit ID 6ebb31ab35e) + - Added doc/Modes.txt: document modes supported by ngIRCd. + - Implement user mode "R": indicates that the nick name of this user + is "registered". This mode isn't handled by ngIRCd itself, but must + be set and unset by IRC services like Anope. + - Implement channel mode "R": only registered users (having the user + mode "R" set) are allowed to join this channel. + - Test suite: bind to loopback (127.0.0.1) interface only. + - Disconnect directly linked servers sending QUIT. Without this, + the server becomes removed from the network and the client list, + but the connection isn't shut down at all ... + - Handle unknown user and channel modes: these modes are saved and + forwarded to other servers, but ignored otherwise. + - Handle channel user modes 'a', 'h', and 'q' from remote servers. + These channel user modes aren't used for anything at the moment, + but ngIRCd knows that these three modes are "channel user modes" + and not "channel modes", that is that these modes take an "nick name" + argument. Like unknown user and channel modes, these modes are saved + and forwarded to other servers, but ignored otherwise. + ngIRCd Release 18 (2011-07-10) - Add preliminary ngIRCd protocol module for Anope 1.9 to contrib/Anope/.
