"AUTH" is + a valid nickname so sending notices to it is probably not a good idea. + Use "*" as the target instead as done with numerics when the nick is not + available. This mimics the behaviour in Charybdis, IRCD-Hybrid, InspIRCd + 2.2, Plexus 4, etc. Closes #217. + The "NoticeAuth" configuration variable (ngircd.conf) has been renamed + to "NoticeBeforeRegistration" accordingly, but the old name is still + supported for compatibility reasons. + - Implement new channel mode "N" (regular users can't change their nick + name while on this channel). Closes #214. + - Keep track of who placed bans, invites, and excepts. + Idee and implementation by LucentW, Thanks! Closes #203. + - Implement numeric RPL_LISTSTART(321). lightIRC and other clients + expecting RPL_LISTSTART should now behave correctly. + Idee and implementation by LucentW, Thanks! Closes #207. + - Streamline the effect of "MorePrivacy" option: Update documentation + in ngircd.conf(5); don't hide channels for IRC Ops on LIST and don't + hide IP addresses/hostnames on WHOIS when "MorePrivacy" is in effect. + This closes #198. + - IRC operators now can kick anyone when "OperCanMode" is set. + Idee and implementation by LucentW, Thanks! Closes #202. + - Implement user mode "I": Hide channels on WHOIS: this mode prevents + ngIRCd from showing channels on WHOIS (IRC Operators can always see + the channel list). + Idee and implementation by LucentW, Thanks! Closes #197. + - INVITE command: Implement ERR_USERNOTONSERV(504) numeric and make sure + that the target user is on the same server when inviting other users + to local ("&") channels. + Idea by Cahata, thanks! Closes #183. + - MODE command: Always report channel creation time. Up to now when + receiving a MODE command, ngIRCd only reported the channel creation + time to clients that were members of the channel. This patch reports + the channel creation time to all clients, regardless if they are joined + to that channel or not. At least ircd-seven behaves like this. + This closes #188. Reported by Cahata, thanks! + +ngIRCd 22.1 (2015-04-06) + + - Update "CipherList" to not enable SSLv3 by default. Idea, initial patch, + and testing by Christoph Biedl . + - Change ngIRCd test suite not to use DNS lookups: Different operating + systems do behave quite differently when doing DNS lookups, for example + "127.0.0.1" sometimes resolves to "localhost" and sometimes to + "localhost.localdomain" (for example OpenBSD). And other OS resolve + "localhost" to the real host name (for example Cygwin). So not using + DNS at all makes the test site much more portable. + +ngIRCd 22 (2014-10-11) + + - Match all list patterns case-insensitive: this affects the invite-, + ban-, and except lists, as well as G-Lines an K-Lines. + Problem pointed out by "wowaname" on #ngircd, thanks! + + ngIRCd 22~rc1 (2014-09-29) + - Sync "except lists" between servers: Up to now, ban, invite, and G-Line + lists have been synced between servers while linking -- but obviously + nobody noticed that except list have been missing ever since. Until now. + Thanks to "j4jackj", who reported this issue in #ngircd. + - Allow longer user names (up to 63 characters) for authentication. + - Increase MAX_SERVERS from 16 to 64: There are installations out there + that would like to configure more than 16 links per server, so increase + this limit. Best would be to get rid of MAX_SERVERS altogether and make + if fully dynamic, but start with this quick and dirty hack ... + - Test suite/platformtest.sh: Detect when tests have been skipped. + - Allow "DefaultUserModes" to set all possible modes, including modes only + settable by IRC Operators. + - Implement user mode "F": "relaxed flood protection". Clients with mode + "F" set are allowed to rapidly send data to the daemon. This mode is only + settable by IRC Operators and can cause problems in the network -- so be + careful and only set it on "trusted" clients! + User mode "F" is used by Bahamut for this purpose, for example. + - Use server password when PAM is compiled in but disabled. + - Streamline punctuation of log messages. + - Return ISUPPORT(005) numerics on "VERSION". This is how ircd-seven, + Charybdis, Hybrid, and InspIRCd behave, for example. + - configure: Only link "contrib/Debian" if it exists, which isn't the case + on "VPATH builds", for example. + - Show the account name in WHOIS. This uses the same numeric as Charybdis + and ircu families: WHOISLOGGEDIN(330). + - Pattern matching: Remove "range matching" in our pattern matching code + using the "[...]" syntax, because [ and ] are valid characters in nick + names and one has to quote them currently using the "\" character, which + is quite unexpected for users. + - platformtest.sh: New option "-x", don't regenerate build system and + allow using separate source and build trees. + - Test suite: explicitly enable glibc memory checking. + - Make "MODE -k" handling more robust and compatible, send "fake '*' key" + in all replies. + - portabtest: Actually test the functions snprintf(), strlcpy(), strlcat(), + and vsnprintf() for correctness, not only existence (which was quite + useless, because if they weren't available, the program could not have + been linked at all ...). + - Implement new configuration option "Network": it is used to set the + (completely optional) "network name", to which this instance of the + daemon belongs. When set, this name is used in the ISUPPORT(005) numeric + which is sent to all clients connecting to the server after logging in. + - Update doc/Platforms.txt. + - Various code cleanups, remove unused code, streamline error handling. + Remove all imp.h and exp.h header files, support non-standard vsnprintf() + return codes, and fix some K&R C portability issues. Streamline + DEBUG_ARRAY, DEBUG_BUFFER, DEBUG_IO, DEBUG_ZIP definitions. + - Increase penalty time to 10 seconds when handling OPER commands with an + invalid password. + +ngIRCd 21.1 (2014-03-25) + + - Don't ignore but use the server password when PAM is compiled in but + disabled.
