+ngIRCd 0.7.7 (2004-02-05)
+
+ - The info text ("real name") of users is set to "-" if none has been
+ specified using the USER command (e. g. "USER user * * :"). Reason:
+ the original ircd doesn't like empty ones and would KILL such users.
+ - Fixed (optional) TCP Wrapper test which was broken and could result in
+ false results. Thanks to Fuminori Tanizaki <tany@mcnet.ad.jp>!
+ - Removed "USE_" prefixes of configuration #defines.
+
ngIRCd 0.7.6 (2003-12-05)
- Fixed abort() ("server crash") when INVITE'ing users to nonexistent

If you don't like this behavior please ./configure the ngIRCd using the

+"--enable-strict-rfc" command line option. But keep in mind: not all IRC
+clients are compatible with a server configured that way, some can't even
+connect at all! Therefore this option usually isn't desired for "normal
+server operation".
II. The IRC+ Protocol
backwards compatible to the "plain" IRC protocol and will only be used by
the ngIRCd if it detects that the peer supports it as well.
-The "PASSV" command is used to detect the protocol and peer versions (see
-RFC 2813, section 4.1.1).
+The "PASS" command is used to detect the protocol and peer versions see
+RFC 2813 (section 4.1.1) and below.
II.1 Register new server link
version number. Servers supporting the IRC+ protocol as defined in this
document provide the string "-IRC+" here.
+Example for <version>: "0210-IRC+".
+
<flags> consists of two parts separated with the character "|" and is at
most 100 bytes long. The first part contains the name of the implementation
-(ngIRCd sets this to "ngIRCd", the original ircd to "IRC", e.g.). The second
+(ngIRCd sets this to "ngircd", the original ircd to "IRC", e.g.). The second
part is implementation-dependent and should only be parsed if the peer
supports the IRC+ protocol as well. In this case the following syntax is
used: "<serverversion>[:<serverflags>]".
number, <serverflags> indicates the supported IRC+ protocol extensions (and
may be empty!).
-The optional parameter <options> is used to propagate server options as
-defined in RFC 2813, section 4.1.1.
-
The following <serverflags> are defined at the moment:
+- C: The server supports the CHANINFO command.
+
- o: IRC operators are allowed to change channel- and channel-user-modes
even if they aren't channel-operator of the affected channel.
-- C: The server supports the CHANINFO command.
+- Z: Compressed server links are supported by the server.
+
+Example for a complete <flags> string: "ngircd|0.7.5:CZ".

+defined in RFC 2813, section 4.1.1.
