-- ChangeLog --
+ngIRCd 0.9.x
+
+ - Fixed maximum length of user names, now allow up to 9 characters.
+ - Cut off oversized IRC messages that should be sent to the network instead
+ of shuttding down the (wrong) connection.
+ - Don't generate error messages for unknown commands received before the
+ client is registered with the server (like the original ircd).
+ - Never run with root privileges but always switch the user ID.
+ - Make "netsplit" messages RFC compliant.
+ - Fix handling of QUIT Messages: send only one message, even if the client
+ is member of multiple channels.
+ - Don't exit server if closing of a socket fails; instead ignore it and
+ pray that this will be "the right thing" ...
+ - Implemented the IRC function "WHOWAS".
+ - Don't enable assert() calls when not ./configure'd with --enable-debug.
+ - Fixed ./configure test for TCP Wrappers: now it runs on Mac OS X as well.
+ - Enhanced configure script: now you can pass an (optional) search path
+ to all --with-XXX parameters, e. g. "--with-ident=/opt/ident".
+ - Removed typedefs for the native C datatypes.
+ Use stdbool.h / inttypes.h if available.
+ - New configuration option "OperServerMode" to enable a workaround needed
+ when running an network with ircd2 servers and "OperCanUseMode" enabled
+ to prevent the ircd2 daemon to drop mode changes of IRC operators.
+ Patch by Florian Westphal, <westphal@foo.fh-furtwangen.de>.
+ - Implemented support for "secret channels" (channel mode "s").
+ - New configuration option "Mask" for [Operator] sections to limit OPER
+ commands to users with a specific IRC mask. Patch from Florian Westphal.
+ - Write "error file" (/tmp/ngircd-XXX.err) only if compiled with debug
+ code ("--enable-debug") and running as daemon process.
+ - Don't create version information string each time a client connects
+ but instead on server startup. By Florian Westphal.
+ - New configuration variable "PidFile", section "[Global]": if defined,
+ the server writes its process ID (PID) to this file. Default: off.
+ Idea of Florian Westphal, <westphal@foo.fh-furtwangen.de>.
+ - Code cleanups from Florian Westphal, <westphal@foo.fh-furtwangen.de>.
+ - 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, <westphal@foo.fh-furtwangen.de>.
+ - 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
It has only been used when the system didn't implement strlcpy by itself,
not on "modern" systems. Florian Westphal, <westphal@foo.fh-furtwangen.de>.
