+
+ ngIRCd 26~rc2 (2020-06-11)
+ - Add AppStream metadata file (contrib/de.barton.ngircd.metainfo.xml).
+ - Various bug fixes, see the ChangeLog. No new or changed functionality.
+
+ ngIRCd 26~rc1 (2020-05-10)
+ - Allow up to 512 characters per line in MOTD and help text files (but keep
+ in mind that lines can't get that long, because they have to be prefixed
+ before being sent to the client). But this allows for more fancy MOTDs :-)
+ Closes #271.
+ - Show the actually allowed channel types in the ISUPPORT(005) numeric which
+ are configured by the "AllowedChannelTypes" configuration variable.
+ Closes #273.
+ - Handle commands in the read buffer before reading more data and don't wait
+ for the network in this case: If there are more bytes in the read buffer
+ already than a single valid IRC command can get long (513 bytes), wait for
+ this/those command(s) to be handled first and don't try to read even more
+ data from the network (which most probably would overflow the read buffer
+ of this connection soon).
+ - Log G-/K-Line changes only when not initiated by a server: this prevents
+ the log from becoming spammed during "net bursts".
+ - Update test suite to include SSL tests, including checking for reloading
+ certificates during runtime.
+ - Add support for GnuTLS certificate reload, which is quite handy when using
+ Let's Encrypt, for example. Until now this was only supported when linked
+ with OpenSSL. Thanks a lot, Hilko Bengen <bengen@hilluzination.de>!
- 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 <michi+ngircd@dataswamp.org>!
ngIRCd 25~rc1 (2018-08-11)
- Only send TOPIC updates to a channel when the topic actually changed:
- This prevents the channel from becoming flooded by unecessary TOPIC update
+ This prevents the channel from becoming flooded by unnecessary TOPIC update
messages, that can happen when IRC services try to enforce a certain topic
but which is already set (at least on the local server), for example.
Therefore still forward it to all servers, but don't inform local clients
