As a result + peering with servers with many GLINE/KLINEs does not kill the connecting + server connection anymore. Thanks to Michi ! + - Fix recursion bug on write errors: Depending on the stack size, too many + clients on the same channel quitting at the same time would trigger a crash + due to too many recursive calls to Conn_Close(). Thanks to Michi + for the patch! + - Fix builds using GCC option -fno-common, which is the default starting with + GCC 10. Thanks to Michi for the patch! + Closes #266. + - Convert INSTALL and README files to Markdown. + - Allow setting arbitrary channel modes in the configuration file by handling + them like in MODE commands, and allow multiple "Modes =" lines per [Channel] + section. Thanks to Michi ! + Closes #55. + - Add "FNC" (forced nick changes) to ISUPPORT(005) numeric. Most probably + this doesn't make any difference to any client, but it seems correct. + See for details. + - Reuse old SSL key if loading a new one failed. + - Remove outdated OpenBSD/NetBSD systrace.policy. + - Enhance handling of command line errors, and return with exit code 0 ("no + error") when "--help" or "--version" is used (which resulted in exit code 1, + "error" before). Exit with code 2 ("command line error") for all other + invalid command line options, and show the error message itself on stderr + (instead of stdout and exit code 1, "generic error", as before). + This new behaviour is more in line with the GNU "coding standards", + see . + - Fix and update Xcode project: Reference correct contrib/Makefile.am file, + correctly sort contrib/nglog.sh and add "ORGANIZATIONNAME" setting. + - contrib/ngindent.sh: Add more GNU indent options for better results, and + add the ".sh" suffix to bring this script in line with the others in the + contrib/ folder. + - Add ./contrib/nglog.sh: This script parses the log output of ngircd(8), + and colorizes the messages according to their log level. Example usage: + ngircd -f $PWD/doc/sample-ngircd.conf -np | ./contrib/nglog.sh + - Log received signals with their names using strsignal(3), when available. + - Make test suite compatible with Haiku OS. + - Fix host mask cloaking bug, don't cloak multiple times: Previously, each + server would cloak every user's host mask. The problem is that if a network + has more than one server, then a user's host mask would get cloaked twice. + This patch ensures that a server only cloaks the host mask if it has not yet + been cloaked (the period indicates it's still an IP address). + Closes #228. + - Enlarge buffers of info texts to 128 bytes. This includes: + - "Real name" of a client (4th filed of the USER command). + - Server info text ("Info" configuration option). + - Admin info texts and email address ("AdminInfo1", "AdminInfo2" and + "AdminEmail" configuration options). + - Network name ("Network" configuration option). + The limit was 64 bytes before ... + Closes #258. + - Streamline handling of invalid and unset server name: Don't exit during + runtime (REHASH command, HUP signal), because the server name can't be + changed in this case anyway and the new invalid name will be ignored. + - Fix and extend documentation: Fix some typos, fix syntax of LINKS and LIST + commands, whitespace and spelling fixes, update dependencies and add some + more information about IRCv3 support. + Thanks to Thanks Windree, Étienne Mollier and + Christoph Biedl . + Closes #264. + - Slightly reorder startup steps, and enhance logging: + - Show name of configuration file at the beginning of start up. + - Add a message when ngIRCd is ready, including its host name. + - Show name of configuration file on REHASH (SIGHUP), too. + - Change level of "done message" to NOTICE, like "starting" & "ready". + - Initialize IO functions before channels, connections, clients, ... + - configure.ng: OpenSSL can depends on lz or latomic so use pkg-config to + find those dependencies and fallback to existing mechanism. + Closes #256. + - ngircd.conf.5: Fix wording as suggested by lintian. ngIRCd 25 (2019-01-23) diff --git a/NEWS b/NEWS index 91f7cc69..2d6e4ce6 100644 --- a/NEWS +++ b/NEWS @@ -8,6 +8,47 @@ -- NEWS -- +ngIRCd 26 + + ngIRCd 26~rc1 + - Allow setting arbitrary channel modes in the configuration file by handling + them like in MODE commands, and allow multiple "Modes =" lines per [Channel] + section.
