-- ChangeLog --
+ngIRCd 24
+
+ ngIRCd 24~rc1 (2017-01-07)
+ - Enhance systemd service file, and install it in Debian package.
+ - Update configuration of Debian package.
+ - Log privilege violations and failed OPER request with log level "error"
+ and send it to the "&SERVER" channel, too.
+ - Immediately shut down connection when receiving an "ERROR" command,
+ don't wait for the peer to close the connection. This allows the daemon
+ to forward the received "ERROR" message in the network, instead of the
+ very generic "client closed connection" message.
+ - Fix sending of entry duration (no negative values!) when synchronizing
+ "x-lines" (G-LINES).
+ - List expiration (G-LINES): use same log level as when setting, and log
+ this event to the &SERVER channel, too.
+ - Explicitly forbid remote servers to modify "x-lines" (G-LINES) when the
+ "AllowRemoteOper" configuration option isn't set, even when the command
+ seems to originate from the remote server itself: this prevents GLINE's
+ to become set during server handshake in this case (what wouldn't be
+ possible during regular runtime when a remote IRC Op sends the command)
+ and what can't be undone by IRC Ops later on (because of the missing
+ "AllowRemoteOper" option) ...
+ - Make scripts and init-files in ./contrib executable.
+ - Fix building ngIRCd with OpenSSL 1.1. Thanks to Christoph Biedl
+ <ngircd.anoy@manchmal.in-ulm.de> for the patch!
+ - Fix code indentation warnings of gcc 6.2.
+ - Update config.guess (2016-04-02) and config.sub (2016-03-30) files.
+ - Fix warnings of the "shellcheck" linter in autogen.sh, contrib/ngindent
+ and contrib/platformtest.sh.
+ - Update Xcode project for latest Xcode version (8.0), and fix "duplicate
+ symbols" error messages when building (linking) the binary.
+ - Add "Documentation" variables to systemd configuration files.
+ - Make sure that SYSCONFDIR is always set, which can be handy when
+ using source code linters when ./configure hasn't been run already.
+ - Add the new "PAMServiceName" configuration option to specify the name
+ used as PAM service name. This setting allows to run multiple ngIRCd
+ instances with different PAM configurations for each instance.
+ Thanks to Christian Aistleitner <christian@quelltextlich.at> for the
+ patch, closes #226.
+ - Add an ".editorconfig" file to the project.
+ - Travis-CI: use "container-based infrastructure".
+ - Limit the number of message targets, and suppress duplicates: This
+ prevents an user from flooding the server using commands like this:
+ "PRIVMSG nick1,nick1,nick1,...".
+ Duplicate targets are suppressed silently (channels and clients).
+ In addition, the maximum number of targets per PRIVMSG, NOTICE, ...
+ command are limited to MAX_HNDL_TARGETS (25). If there are more, the
+ daemon sends the new 407 (ERR_TOOMANYTARGETS_MSG) numeric, containing
+ the first target that hasn't been handled any more. Closes #187.
+ - Test suite: Add new test for server-server logins.
+ - contrib/ngindent: Fix shebang line.
+ - Make contrib/platformtest.sh script more portable, and only show
+ "runs=Y" when the test suite really has been passed successfully.
+ - Code cleanup in the NJON handler and the function killing clients as
+ well as the function sending messages to a "mask" (cleaner code, more
+ fault tolerant, better code comments).
+ - Update and enhance documentation: README file, doc/Platforms.txt,
+ doc/Modes.txt, doc/Commands.txt, doc/PAM.txt.
+ - Fix NJOIN not propagating "half ops" status: ngIRCd tested for the wrong
+ prefix of "half ops" when processing NJOIN commands and therefore never
+ classified a remote user as "half op".
+ Thanks to wowaname for pointing this out on #ngircd!
+
ngIRCd 23 (2015-11-16)
- Explicitly cast time_t to long when printing it out: this prevents
In addition, IRC Ops can use these two forms to specify the <target>:
.
- #<hostmask>
- - #<servermask>
+ - $<servermask>
.
The <mask> can contain the wildcard characters "*" and "?", but must
contain at least one dot (".") and no wildcard after the last one.

ngIRCd 23~rc1 (2015-09-06)
Here the "pam_debug" module will be called each time a client connects to
the ngIRCd and has sent its PASS, NICK, and USER commands.
+The PAM library used by the ngIRCd daemon must be able to access its
+configuration file, so don't forget to check permissions and run something
+like this: "chmod 644 /etc/pam.d/ngircd".
+
Please note ONE VERY IMPORTANT THING:
All the PAM modules are executed with the privileges of the user ngIRCd

II. Status
~~~~~~~~~~~
+ngIRCd should be quite feature complete and stable to be used as daemon in
+real world IRC networks.
+
It is not the goal of ngIRCd to implement all the nasty behaviors of the
original ircd, but to implement most of the useful commands and semantics
-specified by the RFCs.
-
-In the meantime ngIRCd should be quite feature complete and stable to be
-used in real IRC networks.
+specified by the RFCs that are used by existing clients.
-Implemented IRC-commands are:
-
-ADMIN, AWAY, CHANINFO, CONNECT, DIE, DISCONNECT, ERROR, GLINE, HELP, INFO,
-INVITE, ISON, JOIN, KICK, KILL, KLINE, LINKS, LIST, LUSERS, MODE, MOTD,
-NAMES, NICK, NJOIN, NOTICE, OPER, PART, PASS, PING, PONG, PRIVMSG, QUIT,
-REHASH, RESTART, SERVER, SERVICE, SERVLIST, SQUERY, SQUIT, STATS, SUMMON,
-TIME, TOPIC, TRACE, USER, USERHOST, USERS, VERSION, WALLOPS, WEBIRC, WHO,
-WHOIS, WHOWAS.
III. Features (or: why use ngIRCd?)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-- well arranged (lean) configuration file
-- simple to build/install, configure and maintain
-- supports IPv6 and SSL
-- no problems with servers that have dynamic IP addresses
-- freely available, modern, portable and tidy C-source
