+ ngIRCd 27~rc1 (2024-04-13)
+ - Validate certificates on server links. Up to now, ngIRCd optionally used
+ SSL/TLS encrypted server-server links but never checked and validated any
+ certificates. Now ngIRCd validates SSL/TLS certificates on outgoing
+ server-server links by default and drops(!) connections when the remote
+ certificate is invalid (for example self-signed, expired, not matching the
+ host name, ...). Therefore you have to make sure that all relevant
+ *certificates are valid* (or to disable certificate validation on this
+ connection using the new `SSLVerify = false` setting in the affected
+ `[Server]` block, where the remote certificate is not valid and you can not
+ fix this issue).
+ The original patch for OpenSSL dates back to 2009 and was written by Florian
+ Westphal and was extended for GnuTLS in 2014 by Christoph Biedl. But it took
+ us another 10 years to bring it to life ... oh my! Many thanks to both
+ Florian and Christoph!
+ Closes #120.
+ - Add support for the "sd_notify" protocol of systemd(8): Periodically
+ "ping" the service manager (every 3 seconds) and set a status message
+ showing current connection statistics which then is included in "systemctl
+ status ngircd.service" output. In addition, this enables using the
+ systemd(8) watchdog functionality ("WatchdogSec") for the "ngircd.service"
+ unit and allows it to use the "notify" service type, which results in
+ better status tracking by the service manager.
+ - Try to set file descriptor limit to its maximum and show info on startup:
+ The number of possible parallel connections is limited by the file
+ descriptor limit of the process (among other things). Therefore try to
+ upgrade the current "soft" limit to its "hard" maximum (but limited to
+ 100000 instead of "infinite"), and show an information or even warning when
+ the limit is still less than the configured "MaxConnections" setting. Please
+ note that ngIRCd and its linked libraries (like PAM) need file descriptors
+ not only for incoming and outgoing IRC connections, but for reading files
+ and inter-process communication, too! Therefore the actual connection limit
+ is less(!) than the file descriptor limit!
+ - Update and fix the logcheck(8) rules file.
+ - METADATA: Fix unsetting the "cloakhost" hostname, which did not result in
+ the original hostname being restored, but actually resulted in an empty
+ string being used as the client hostname -- which is a protocol violation.
+ - Update the "rpm" make target to use the rpmbuild(8) command.
+ - Add a "Docker file" (contrib/Dockerfile) and corresponding documentation
+ (doc/Container.md) to the project. The resulting container is based on the
+ latest Debian "stable-slim" container and built using a "build container".
+ - Remove outdated, unsupported and broken support for splint(1).
+ - Don't show the default config file name on config errors: The configuration
+ can be set in drop-in files in the include directory, too, so it is not
+ clear in which file it is actually missing.
+ - No longer use a default built-in value for the "IncludeDir" directive when
+ a configuration file was explicitly specified on the command line using
+ "--config"/"-f": This way no default include directory is scanned when a
+ possibly non-default configuration file is used which (intentionally) did
+ not specify an "IncludeDir" directive. So now you can use "-f /dev/null"
+ for checking all built-in defaults, regardless of any local configuration
+ files in the default drop-in directory (which would have been read in
+ until this change).
+ - No longer log channel keys ("passwords") for predefined channels.
+ - The server "Name" in the "[Global]" section of the configuration file no
+ longer needs to be set: When not set (or empty), ngIRCd now tries to
+ deduce a valid IRC server name from the local host name ("node name"),
+ possibly adding a ".host" extension when the host name does not contain a
+ dot (".") which is required in an IRC server name ("ID").
+ This new behavior, with all configuration parameters now being optional,
+ allows running ngIRCd without any configuration file at all.
+ - Silence some compiler warnings.
+ - autogen.sh: Prefer automake 1.11 over other releases because this is the
+ last release supporting "de-ANSI-fication" using the included ansi2knr tool.
+ And because we _want_ to support old K&R platforms, we try hard to use this
+ release of automake when available to generate our build system.
+ Note: This is only relevant for you if you are building from Git sources.
+ - Autodetect support for IPv6 by default: Until now, IPv6 support was disabled
+ by default, which seems a bit outdated in 2024. Note: You still can pass
+ "--enable-ipv6"/"--disable-ipv6" to the ./configure script to forcefully
+ activate or deactivate IPv6 support.
+ - Do IDENT requests even when DNS lookups are disabled: Up to now disabling
+ DNS in the configuration disabled IDENT lookups as well (for no good
+ reason). Now you can activate/deactivate DNS lookups and IDENT requests
+ completely separately. Thanks for reporting this, Miniontoby!
+ Closes #291.
+ - Update config.guess (2023-08-22) and config.sub (2023-09-19) files.
+ - Fix Channel Admins being able to to set Channel Owner status! "Sarah"
+ reported this back in April 2021 and proposed a patch, thanks a lot!
+ - Test suite: Update for OpenSSL 3.x, some command outputs changed, clean up
+ shell scripts and make the getpid.sh script more robust.
+ - Allow SSL client-only configurations without keys/certificates: You don't
+ need to configure certificates/keys as long as you don't configure
+ SSL-enabled listening ports. This can make sense when you want to only link
+ your local daemon to an uplink server using SSL and only have clients on
+ your local host or in your fully trusted network, where SSL is not required.
+ - Remove the unmaintained contrib/MacOSX/ folder: this includes the Xcode
+ project as well as the outdated macOS "Package Maker" configuration. The
+ sample launchd(8) configuration properties list file was moved to
+ "contrib/de.barton.ngircd.plist" and kept.
+ - Fix showing the "Ident" option in "--configtest" output which was never
+ shown because of a coding error. Whoops!
+ - Change GnuTLS "slot handling" messages to debug level: Those messages are
+ about an internal implementation detail, not relevant for an administrator
+ of ngIRCd.
+ - Enlarge buffer for log messages: For example, SSL/TLS certificate
+ information can easily get longer than 256 characters. So enlarge the log
+ buffer to 1 KB to avoid cutting off relevant information.
+ - Respect "SSLConnect" option for incoming connections and do not accept
+ incoming plain-text ("non SSL") server connections for servers configured
+ with "SSLConnect" enabled. This change prevents an authenticated
+ client-server being able to force the server-server to send its password
+ on a plain-text connection when SSL/TLS was intended.
+ - Always try to close a connection with errors immediately, but try hard
+ to avoid too much recursion. Without this patch, an outgoing server
+ connection could get stuck in an "endless" state trying to write out data
+ over and over again.
+ - Add "hopm.service" to "Wants" and "Before" dependencies in the sample
+ systemd unit file (Hopm is the successor of Bopm).
+ - Update Debian package configuration using current "dh_make", package
+ dependencies and build rules. And no longer build 3 different versions,
+ only build "ngircd" which now includes support for IDENT, PAM (disabled in
+ the ngircd.conf installed by the package), SSL (OpenSSL), ZLib and IPv6.
+ - Return ERR_NOTEXTTOSEND on empty PRIVMSG content, which matches the
+ behavior of other servers.
+ - Add a new option "Autojoin" to [Channel] blocks: When it is set, ngIRCd
+ automatically joins all local users to this channel on connect. Note: The
+ users must have permissions to access the channel, otherwise joining them
+ will fail!
+ Thanks Ivan Agarkov <i_agarkov@wargaming.net> for the initial patch!
+ - Hide invisible (+i) users on "WHOIS <pattern>": Let's behave like most(?)
+ other IRC daemons (at least ircd2.11) and hide all +i users when WHOIS is
+ used with a pattern. Otherwise privacy of this users is not guaranteed and
+ the +i mode a bit useless ...
+ Reported by Cahata on #ngircd, thanks!
+ - Update the final "closing connection" message: Add some more information
+ like nick name, user name, host name and bring it in line with some other
+ implementations (at least ircd2.11 and Hybrid).
+ - Fix RPL_INVITING message: All numeric replies must originate from an IRC
+ server, never from a client. Thanks "tommyrot" for reporting this!
+ Closes #307.
+ - Enhance some log messages, for example for errors when accepting new
+ connections.
+ - Make the debug log level ("--debug"/-"d" command line option) always
+ available, not only when ./configure'd with "--enable-debug": the latter
+ now only enables additional checks (like the tests done using assert(2))
+ and is signalled by adding "+DEBUG" to the version "feature string". This
+ change enables everyone to get even more detailed logging when required.
+ - Always report an error when a parameter is missing in a channel "MODE +k"
+ or "MODE +l" command, and better validate their parameters: return the new
+ numeric ERR_INVALIDMODEPARAM_MSG(696) on errors.
+ Thanks Val Lorentz for reporting this!
+ Closes #290.
+ - Allow IRC Operators to use the WHO command on any channel.
+ - Add configuration for "ngIRCd CI" GitHub Action, no longer use Travis-CI.
+ - Send the NAMES list and channel topic to users "forcefully" joined to a
+ channel using NJOIN, like they joined on their own using JOIN, and
+ streamline the order of NAMES list and channel topic messages.
+ Closes #288.
+ - Fix (invalid) error messages when setting modes on local channels which
+ are defined in the configuration file.
+ - Fix handling of G-Lines/K-Lines with cloaked host names.
+ - Streamline logging of debug messages.
+ - Added a new command line option "-y"/"--syslog", with which logging to
+ syslog can be activated/deactivated separately from running on the console
+ (using "--nodaemon") or in the background.
+ Thanks Katherine Peeters for the patch and pull request!
+ Closes #294.
+ - Fix a possible race condition while introducing new clients in the network.
+ - Update, enhance and extend our documentation in README.md, INSTALL.md,
+ doc/HowToRelease.txt and the manual pages ngircd(8) and ngircd.conf(5), add
+ a new doc/QuickStart.md document, and convert some more documentation files
+ to Markdown (AUTHORS.md, contrib/README.md, doc/FAQ.md, doc/SSL.md).
+
+ngIRCd 26.1 (2021-01-02)
+
+ - Fix a "format string" compiler warning (detected on OpenBSD).
+ - No longer set "AI_ADDRCONFIG" when resolving host names, even when it
+ exists: with this option set, on an IPv6-only host, we prevent 127.0.0.1
+ to get translated properly, even when the loopback interface has this
+ address configured! And as the test suite uses 127.0.0.1, it was broken
+ on IPv6-only hosts.
+ The drawback is that the resolver possibly returns more addresses now,
+ even of an unsupported/not connected address family; but this shouldn't
+ do much harm in practice, as ngIRCd iterates over all returned addresses
+ while trying to establish an outgoing connection.
+ Closes #281.
+ - Revert "Show allowed channel types in ISUPPORT(005) numeric only", which
+ was introduced in 26~rc1: This lead to some IRC clients assuming "oh, no
+ channel prefix characters at all, so no channels at all, so no PRIVMSG can
+ go to any channel" when "AllowedChannelTypes" was set to the empty string
+ ("") -- which is not the case when there are pre-defined channel set up or
+ other servers still having channels!
+ So "allowed channel types" != "supported channel types", and we always have
+ to list all supported ones in the ISUPPORT(005) numeric!
+ Closes #285.
+ - Test suite: Wait 2 seconds after reloading the daemon, which is required
+ because on reload, all listening ports are closed, configuration updated,
+ and then opened again. This lead to subsequent tests running while the
+ daemon isn't listening on any ports, and that's why some tests could fail.
+ Closes #280.
+ - platformtest.sh: Try to mangle CLang name more intelligently.
+ - Documentation: Fixed URLs of Atheme IRC services, updated all mentions
+ from CVS to Git, and updated Platforms.txt -- Oh, and it is 2021 now! ;-)
+
+ngIRCd 26 (2020-06-20)
+
+ ngIRCd 26~rc2 (2020-06-11)
+ - Add AppStream metadata file (contrib/de.barton.ngircd.metainfo.xml).
+ - Don't send invalid CHANINFO commands when a channel has mode +k set but no
+ key is known to the server. This can happen with a misconfigured predefined
+ channel, for example, and looked like this: "CHANINFO #test +Pk 0 :" --
+ note the unset key represented by the two spaces. Fix this by sending a
+ "*" in this case and update the CHANINFO documentation, too.
+ - ngircd.spec: Fix names of README.md and INSTALL.md, add ".md" extension.
+ - Update description texts in the README.md file, the RPM and Debian package
+ files and the manual page: bring them in line with the updated homepage.
+ - Server-Server protocol: Fix use-after-free when unregistering a directly
+ connected server sending a SQUIT for itself.
+ - Server-Server protocol: Detect bogus SERVER commands lacking a prefix.
+ Thanks Hilko Bengen (hillu) for finding & reporting this as well for the
+ patch & pull request (even if fixed differently).
+ Closes #275.
+ - Fix the PING-PONG logic: In ngIRCd 26~rc1 this was completely broken (while
+ trying to fix timeouts during server handshakes in bigger networks): the
+ daemon never disconnected any stale peers but kept sending out PINGs over
+ and over again ...
+ - Test suite: Add missing files needed to test SSL support to "EXTRA_DIST",
+ so that they are included in distribution archives: in rc1, "make check"
+ fails when using sources from an archive and enabling SSL support.
+ Thanks to Hilko Bengen <bengen@hilluzination.de> for the patch!
+
+ ngIRCd 26~rc1 (2020-05-10)
+ - Tweak & update doc/HowToRelease.txt, .mailmap and AUTHORS files.
+ - 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).
+ - Update Travis-CI configuration, "sudo" is deprecated.
+ - 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.
+ - Makefile.am: Replace "make" with "${MAKE}". This fixes warnings like this:
+ "warning: jobserver unavailable: using -j1. Add `+' to parent make rule."
+ Thanks to Sam James (sam_c) <sam@cmpct.info>!
+ Closes #270.
+ - 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>!
+ - Remove deprecated legacy configuration options and related functions that
+ have been marked for removal for quite some time:
+ - PredefChannelsOnly (v22)
+ - NoticeAuth (v24)
+ - NoXXX (v19)
+ - Old '[GLOBAL]' section handling (v19)
+ Thanks to Michi <michi+ngircd@dataswamp.org> for the patch!
+ - 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
+ <michi+ngircd@dataswamp.org> for the patch!
+ - Fix builds using GCC option -fno-common, which is the default starting with
+ GCC 10. Thanks to Michi <michi+ngircd@dataswamp.org> 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 <michi+ngircd@dataswamp.org>!
+ 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 <http://www.irc.org/tech_docs/005.html> 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 behavior is more in line with the GNU "coding standards",
+ see <https://www.gnu.org/prep/standards/html_node/_002d_002dhelp.html>.
+ - 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). Thanks to
+ JRMU <jrmu@lecturify.com> for the patch!
+ 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 <etienne.mollier@mailoo.org> and
+ Christoph Biedl <debian.axhn@manchmal.in-ulm.de>.
+ 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)
+
+ - Fix documentation of MotdPhrase length, which actually is 126 characters:
+ update sample configuration file as well as the man page. Thanks to
+ shankari <shankari@eecs.berkeley.edu>.
+ Closes #254.
+ - Implement new configuration option "MaxPenaltyTime", which configures the
+ maximum penalty time increase in seconds, per penalty event. Set to -1 for
+ no limit (the default), 0 to disable penalties altogether. ngIRCd doesn't
+ use penalty increases higher than 2 seconds during normal operation, so
+ values higher than 1 rarely make sense.
+ Disabling (or reducing) penalties can greatly speed up "make check" runs
+ for example, see below, but are mostly a debugging feature and normally
+ not meant to be used on production systems!
+ Some example timings running "make check" from my macOS workstation:
+ - MaxPenaltyTime not set: 4:41,79s
+ - "MaxPenaltyTime = 1": 3:14,71s
+ - "MaxPenaltyTime = 0": 25,46s
+ Closes #249 and #251.
+ - Fix compilation without deprecated OpenSSL APIs. Thanks to Rosen Penev
+ <rosenp@gmail.com> for the patch!
+ Closes #252.
+ - Update Xcode project for latest Xcode version (10.0)
+ - Fix some compiler warnings of Apple Xcode/Clang
+ - Allow a 5th parameter in WEBIRC. Thanks to "ItsOnlyBinary".
+ Closes #247.
+ - Update some more documentation files and source code comments.
+ - Platforms.txt: Add and update systems.
+
+ ngIRCd 25~rc1 (2018-08-11)
+ - Update config.guess (2018-03-08) and config.sub (2018-03-08) files.
+ - Correctly retry to establish an outgoing connections when forking of the
+ resolver sub-process failed (for example because of lack of free memory).
+ Until now, such a connection was never retried once this error was hit.
+ Thanks to Robert Obermeier for reporting this bug!
+ Closes #243.
+ - Fix a "use after free" bug which can be triggered on a newly established
+ connection when the daemon handles an ERROR command received from the peer
+ during client login. Thanks a lot to Joseph Bisch <joseph.bisch@gmail.com>
+ for discovering and reporting this issue!
+ - Only send TOPIC updates to a channel when the topic actually changed:
+ 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
+ (still update setter and timestamp information, though).
+ - Update Xcode project for latest Xcode version (9.2). This includes adding
+ missing and deleting obsolete file references.
+ - Handle user mode "C" ("Only users that share a channel are allowed to send
+ messages") like user mode "b" ("block private messages and notices"): allow
+ messages from servers, services, and IRC Operators, too. Change proposed by
+ "wowaname" back in 2015 in #ngircd, thanks!
+ - Fix some compiler warnings.
+ - Add contrib/ngircd.logcheck: Some sample logcheck(8) rules.
+ - Allow IRC Ops and remote servers to KILL service clients: such clients
+ behave like regular users, therefore IRC operators and servers should be
+ able to KILL them: for example to resolve nick collisions.
+ Closes #242.
+ - Don't forward KILLs to other servers if they've been blocked locally:
+ This prevents clients from killing IRC services, for example.
+ Closes #238 and #239.
+ - Fix a cross-compiler issue related to the Get_Error() function.
+ Closes #240 and #241.
+ - Update ./doc/Services.txt, enhance configuration examples.
+
+ngIRCd 24 (2017-01-20)
+
+ - Make sure that ./contrib/platformtest.sh aborts when ./autogen.sh fails.
+ - Update config.guess (2016-10-02) and config.sub (2016-11-04) files.
+ - Build Debian packages with OpenSSL instead of GnuTLS: OpenSSL allows
+ to reload used certificates on runtime for example (which is very
+ useful when using Let's Encrypt), and therefore is preferred. And
+ explicitly specify the "source format".
+ - Fix handling of connection pool allocation and enlargement: up to now,
+ the daemon only enlarged its connection pool when accepting new incoming
+ client or server connections, not when establishing new outgoing server
+ links, which could lead to problems when hitting the configured limit,
+ see "MaxConnections". Thanks to Lukas Braun (k00mi) for reporting this!
+ Closes #231.
+
+ 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 NJOIN 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".

+ngIRCd 23 (2015-11-16)
+
+ - Explicitly cast time_t to long when printing it out: this prevents
+ wrong sized data types on platforms where time_t doesn't equal a
+ long any more, for example on OpenBSD (which would result in garbled
+ output on those platforms).
+ - contrib/Debian/changelog: Fix email address.
+ - Documentation: Spelling fixes; update doc/Platforms.txt.
+
+ ngIRCd 23~rc1 (2015-09-06)
+ - Add ".clang_complete" file, which is used by the "linter-clang" package
+ of the Atom editor, for example.
+ - Make server-to-server protocol more robust: ngIRCd now catches more
+ errors on the server-to-server (S2S) protocol that could crash the
+ daemon before. This hasn't been a real problem because the IRC S2S
+ protocol is "trusted" by design, but the behavior is much better now.
+ Thanks to wowaname on #ngircd for pointing this out!
+ - Make platformtest.sh, autogen.sh, and ngircd.init more portable.
+ - Enables "reproducible builds" for ngIRCd: Use the optional BIRTHTIME
+ constant while building ngIRCd, which contains a time stamp for the
+ "Birth Date" information, in seconds since the epoch.
+ See <https://wiki.debian.org/ReproducibleBuilds>.
+ - Update "contrib/ngircd.service" file for systemd.
+ - INSTALL: Add deprecation notice for "PredefChannelsOnly" variable.
+ - Use "NOTICE *" before registration instead of "NOTICE AUTH". "AUTH" is
+ a valid nickname so sending notices to it is probably not a good idea.
+ Use "*" as the target instead as done with numerics when the nick is not
+ available. This mimics the behavior in Charybdis, IRCD-Hybrid, InspIRCd
+ 2.2, Plexus 4, etc. Closes #217.
+ The "NoticeAuth" configuration variable (ngircd.conf) has been renamed
+ to "NoticeBeforeRegistration" accordingly, but the old name is still
+ supported for compatibility reasons.
+ - Implement new channel mode "N" (regular users can't change their nick
+ name while on this channel). Closes #214.
+ - README, AUTHORS: Update mailing list and issue tracker URLs.
+ - Remove doc/GIT.txt (it is outdated), update doc/Contributing.txt:
+ ngIRCd uses GitHub, and Git itself is quite common today. So don't
+ include an own Git "mini HowTo" any longer.
+ - Specify session context for OpenSSL clients. This enables some OpenSSL
+ clients, including Pidgin and stunnel 5.06, to reuse a session.
+ Patch by Tom Ryder <tom@sanctum.geek.nz>, thanks! Closes #182.
+ - Keep track of who placed bans, invites, and excepts.
+ Idea and implementation by LucentW, Thanks! Closes #203.
+ - Make setgroups(3) function optional: For example, Interix is missing
+ this function, which prevented ngIRCd to build on this platform. When
+ setgroups(3) isn't available, a warning message is issued on startup.
+ - Implement numeric RPL_LISTSTART(321). lightIRC and other clients
+ expecting RPL_LISTSTART should now behave correctly.
+ Idea and implementation by LucentW, Thanks! Closes #207.
+ - Update ngircd.conf.5: "CloakUserToNick" hides user _and_ real name.
+ This closes #208.
+ - Fix case insensitive pattern matching: Up to now, only the input
+ string became lowercased and was then compared to the pattern -- which
+ failed when the pattern itself wasn't all lowercase!
+ - Streamline the effect of "MorePrivacy" option: Update documentation
+ in ngircd.conf(5); don't hide channels for IRC Ops on LIST and don't
+ hide IP addresses/hostnames on WHOIS when "MorePrivacy" is in effect.
+ This closes #198.
+ - IRC operators now can kick anyone when "OperCanMode" is set.
+ Idea and implementation by LucentW, Thanks! Closes #202.
+ - Implement user mode "I": Hide channels on WHOIS: this mode prevents
+ ngIRCd from showing channels on WHOIS (IRC Operators can always see
+ the channel list).
+ Idea and implementation by LucentW, Thanks! Closes #197.
+ - INVITE command: Implement ERR_USERNOTONSERV(504) numeric and make sure
+ that the target user is on the same server when inviting other users
+ to local ("&") channels.
+ Idea by Cahata, thanks! Closes #183.
+ - INVITE command: Enforce 1 second penalty time, which prevents flooding
+ of the target client.
+ This closes #186. Reported by Cahata, thanks!
+ - MODE command: Always report channel creation time. Up to now when
+ receiving a MODE command, ngIRCd only reported the channel creation
+ time to clients that were members of the channel. This patch reports
+ the channel creation time to all clients, regardless if they are joined
+ to that channel or not. At least ircd-seven behaves like this.
+ This closes #188. Reported by Cahata, thanks!
+ - Update Xcode project for latest Xcode version (6.3).
+
+ngIRCd 22.1 (2015-04-06)
+
+ - Update doc/Platforms.txt and doc/FAQ.txt.
+ - Fix spelling of RPL_WHOISBOT message text.
+ - Don't send nick name as default PART reason: No other IRC daemon seems
+ to do this (today?). Closes #185.
+ Reported by Cahata in #ngircd, thanks!
+ - Fix "WHO #<chan>" showing invisible users and hiding all visible, the
+ logic was reversed! This bug has been introduced by commit c74115f2,
+ "Simplify mode checking on channels and users within a channel", ngIRCd
+ releases 21, 21.1, and 22 are affected :-( Problem reported by Cahata
+ in #ngircd, Thanks!
+ - Fix typo in src/testsuite/README
+ - Auth PING: Fix our information text for manual sending of "PONG". Up to
+ now, ngIRCd doesn't send a valid IRC command at all, oops!
+ - Auth PING: Fix internal time stamp conversion and don't send a prefix in
+ our PING command. The prefix confuses WeeChat, at least, which doesn't
+ send an appropriate PONG in the case ...
+ Debugging and patch by "wowaname" on #ngircd, thanks!
+ - Fix syntax of ERR_LISTFULL_MSG(478) numeric. Pointed out by "wowaname"
+ in #ngircd, thanks!
+ - Enhance debug messages while sending CHANINFO commands.
+ - Reset "last try" timer when enabling a passive server. This results in
+ a new connection attempt as soon as possible.
+ - Change log message for "Can't resolve address" and for IP address
+ forgeries.
+ - doc/HowToRelease.txt: Add note about the bug tracker.
+ - Update "CipherList" to not enable SSLv3 by default. Idea, initial patch,
+ and testing by Christoph Biedl <ngircd.anoy@manchmal.in-ulm.de>.
+ - Change ngIRCd test suite not to use DNS lookups: Different operating
+ systems do behave quite differently when doing DNS lookups, for example
+ "127.0.0.1" sometimes resolves to "localhost" and sometimes to
+ "localhost.localdomain" (for example OpenBSD). And other OS resolve
+ "localhost" to the real host name (for example Cygwin). So not using
+ DNS at all makes the test site much more portable.
+
+ngIRCd 22 (2014-10-11)
+
+ - Match all list patterns case-insensitive: this affects the invite-,
+ ban-, and except lists, as well as G-Lines an K-Lines.
+ Problem pointed out by "wowaname" on #ngircd, thanks!
+
+ ngIRCd 22~rc1 (2014-09-29)
+ - Sync "except lists" between servers: Up to now, ban, invite, and G-Line
+ lists have been synced between servers while linking -- but obviously
+ nobody noticed that except list have been missing ever since. Until now.
+ Thanks to "j4jackj", who reported this issue in #ngircd.
+ - Allow longer user names (up to 63 characters) for authentication.
+ - Correctly check that a server has a valid hostname and port, thanks to
+ David Binderman <dcb314@hotmail.com> who reported this bug.
+ - Fix the function which generates complete "IRC masks" from user input,
+ don't destroy the source buffer and use all provided parts (nick, user,
+ host name). This fixes GLINEs/KLINEs from not working in some situations.
+ - Increase MAX_SERVERS from 16 to 64: There are installations out there
+ that would like to configure more than 16 links per server, so increase
+ this limit. Best would be to get rid of MAX_SERVERS altogether and make
+ if fully dynamic, but start with this quick and dirty hack ...
+ - Debian: Don't adjust path names that are correct by default and correctly
+ set and use "docdir".
+ - Update config.guess and config.sub to recent versions.
+ - Test suite/platformtest.sh: Detect when tests have been skipped.
+ - doc/Bopm.txt: Update "connregex" and "kline" for current ngIRCd.
+ - Allow "DefaultUserModes" to set all possible modes, including modes only
+ settable by IRC Operators.
+ - Spoofed prefixes: Really kill connection on non-server links.
+ - Implement user mode "F": "relaxed flood protection". Clients with mode
+ "F" set are allowed to rapidly send data to the daemon. This mode is only
+ settable by IRC Operators and can cause problems in the network -- so be
+ careful and only set it on "trusted" clients!
+ User mode "F" is used by Bahamut for this purpose, for example.
+ - Handle "throttling" in a single function: ngIRCd implements "command
+ throttling" and "bps throttling" (bytes per second). The states are
+ detected in different functions, Conn_Handler() and Read_Request(), but
+ handle the actual "throttling" in a common function: this enables us to
+ guarantee consistent behavior and to disable throttling for special
+ connections in only one place
+ - Use server password when PAM is compiled in but disabled.
+ - Streamline punctuation of log messages.
+ - Return ISUPPORT(005) numerics on "VERSION". This is how ircd-seven,
+ Charybdis, Hybrid, and InspIRCd behave, for example.
+ - configure: Only link "contrib/Debian" if it exists, which isn't the case
+ on "VPATH builds", for example.
+ - Show the account name in WHOIS. This uses the same numeric as Charybdis
+ and ircu families: WHOISLOGGEDIN(330).
+ - Pattern matching: Remove "range matching" in our pattern matching code
+ using the "[...]" syntax, because [ and ] are valid characters in nick
+ names and one has to quote them currently using the "\" character, which
+ is quite unexpected for users.
+ - platformtest.sh: New option "-x", don't regenerate build system and
+ allow using separate source and build trees.
+ - Test suite: explicitly enable glibc memory checking.
+ - Make "MODE -k" handling more robust and compatible, send "fake '*' key"
+ in all replies.
+ - Update configure.ng: ngIRCd requires GNU autoconf 2.61 for generating its
+ build system, so update the build system accordingly and implement all
+ changes that autoupdate(1) suggests: Update AC_PREREQ and AC_INIT, use
+ AC_LINK_IFELSE, AC_RUN_IFELSE, and AC_COMPILE_IFELSE, and remove
+ AC_TYPE_SIGNAL (we don't use RETSIGTYPE).
+ - portabtest: Actually test the functions snprintf(), strlcpy(), strlcat(),
+ and vsnprintf() for correctness, not only existence (which was quite
+ useless, because if they weren't available, the program could not have
+ been linked at all ...).
+ - Implement new configuration option "Network": it is used to set the
+ (completely optional) "network name", to which this instance of the
+ daemon belongs. When set, this name is used in the ISUPPORT(005) numeric
+ which is sent to all clients connecting to the server after logging in.
+ - Update doc/Platforms.txt.
+ - Various code cleanups, remove unused code, streamline error handling.
+ Remove all imp.h and exp.h header files, support non-standard vsnprintf()
+ return codes, and fix some K&R C portability issues. Streamline
+ DEBUG_ARRAY, DEBUG_BUFFER, DEBUG_IO, DEBUG_ZIP definitions.
+ - Increase penalty time to 10 seconds when handling OPER commands with an
+ invalid password.
+
+ngIRCd 21.1 (2014-03-25)
+
+ - Don't ignore but use the server password when PAM is compiled in but
+ disabled. Thanks to Roy Sindre Norangshol <roy.sindre@norangshol.no>!
+ - doc/Platforms.txt: Update from master branch.
+ - Really kill connections that send "spoofed prefixes" on non-server links.
+ This fixes commit 6cbe1308 which only killed the connection when the
+ spoofed prefix itself belonged to a non-server client.
+ - CHARCONV command: Fix handling conversion errors, don't overwrite already
+ converted text!
+ - doc/Services.txt: Update information for Anope 2.x.
+ - Correctly use cloaked IRC masks on "INVITE nickname": The cloaked IRC mask
+ of a user is his visible mask, so the daemon has to use it for generating
+ the "one time" entries for the invite list of the given channel, and not
+ the "real" mask which will never match while the target client is "+x", and
+ even worse, will disclose the real mask on "MODE #channel +I" commands :-/
+ Bug reported by Cahata on #ngircd, thanks!
+ - configure: Only link "contrib/Debian" if it exists. This isn't the case on
+ "VPATH builds", for example.
+ - Use $(MKDIR_P) instead of $(mkinstalldirs) in Makefile's and test for
+ "mkdir -p" using AC_PROG_MKDIR_P in "configure".
+ - Fix configure script and "make check" for TCP Wrappers (problems spotted on
+ OpenBSD): add missing #include's and static variables, and add libwrap at
+ the end of the configure run because if libwrap becomes added earlier,
+ other tests may fail.
+ - configure: add support for the LDFLAGS_END and LIBS_END variables to add
+ linker flags and libraries at the end of the configure run (CFLAGS_END has
+ been implemented already).
+ - platformtest.sh and Makefile.am: Don't use "test -e", it isn't portable.
+ - Update Copyright notices for 2014 :-)
+ - Fix permanent {G|K}LINES (with a timeout of 0 seconds).
+ - WEBIRC: Don't set the hostname received by the WEBIRC command when DNS
+ lookups are disabled, but use the IP address instead.
+ Reported by Toni Spets <toni.spets@iki.fi>, thanks!
+ - Check for working getaddrinfo() function: At least AIX 4.3.3 and 5.1 have a
+ broken implementation of getaddrinfo() which doesn't handle "0" as numeric
+ service correctly. This patch adds a configure check for this case and
+ changes all calling functions to only use getaddrinfo() if it "works".
+ See <http://www.stacken.kth.se/lists/heimdal-discuss/2004-05/msg00059.html>
+ - Only use the unsetenv() function when it is available (AIX 4.3 doesn't
+ support it, for example).
+ - Make sure that the source code is still compatible with the "ansi2knr" tool
+ and builds using non-ANSI K&R C compilers. Tested with Apple C on A/UX.
+ - Fix building ngIRCd without support for ZLIB compression. Reported by

+ - Fix error numeric of WHOIS when no nick name has been provided:

+ - Only log "IDENT ... no result" messages when an IDENT looked took place

+ - Correctly discard supplementary groups on server startup.
+ - Save client IP address text for "WebIRC" users and correctly display
+ it on WHOIS, for example. (Closes bug #159)
+ - Implement the new configuration option "DefaultUserModes" which lists
+ user modes that become automatically set on new local clients right
+ after login. Please note that only modes can be set that the client
+ could set on itself, so you can't set "a" (away) or "o" (IRC Op),
+ for example! User modes "i" (invisible) or "x" (cloaked) etc. are
+ "interesting", though. (Closes bug #160)
+ - Add support for the new METADATA "account" property, which allows
