-- ChangeLog --
+ngircd 0.8.0 (2004-06-26)
+
+ - Fixed wrong buffer size calculation for results of the resolver.
+
+ ngircd 0.8.0-pre2 (2004-05-16)
+ - Enhanced logging to console when running in "no-detached mode": added
+ PID and log messages of resolver sub-processes.
+ - Fixed host name lookups when using IDENT user lookups.
+ - "make clean" and "make maintainer-clean" remove more files mow.
+
+ ngIRCd 0.8.0-pre1 (2004-05-07)
+ - Two new configuration options: "ChrootDir" and "MotdPhrase", thanks to
+ Benjamin Pineau <ben@zouh.org>. Now you can force the daemon to change
+ its root and working directory to something "safe". MotdPhrase is used
+ to define an "MOTD string" instead of a whole file, useful if the
+ "real" MOTD file would be outside the "jail".
+ - INVITE- and BAN-lists become synchronized between IRC+ servers when
+ establishing new connections, if the peer supports this as well.
+ - Reorganized autogen.sh and configure scripts.
+ - Fixed a wrong assert() which could cause the daemon to exit spuriously
+ when closing down connections.
+ - Better logging of decompression errors returned by zlib.
+ - Servers other than the destination server didn't clean up the invite
+ list of an "invite-only" channel properly when an INVITE'd user joined.
+ - Changed the reply of the MODE command to match the syntax of the
+ original ircd exactly: the unnecessary but missing ":" before the last
+ parameter has been added.
+ - Fixed TRACE: don't output "Serv" lines for ourself; display more info.
+ - Results of the resolver (hostnames and IDENT names) are discarded after
+ the client is successfully registered with the server.
+ - Better logging while establishing and shutting down connections.
+ - The type of service (TOS) of all sockets is set to "interactive" now.
+ - Added short command line option "-t" as alternative to "--configtest".
+ - Added optional support for "IDENT" lookups on incoming connections. You
+ have to enable this function with the ./configure switch "--with-ident".
+ The default is not to do IDENT lookups.
+
ngIRCd 0.7.7 (2004-02-05)
- The info text ("real name") of users is set to "-" if none has been
and/or disable some features of ngIRCd. All these options are shown using
"./configure --help", too.
+Compiling a static binary will avoid you the hassle of feeding a chroot dir
+(if you want use the chroot feature). Just do something like:
+ CFLAGS=-static ./configure [--your-options ...]
+Then you can use a void directory as ChrootDir (like OpenSSH's /var/empty).
+
3): "make"
-p, --passive
Server-links won't be automatically established.
---configtest
+-t, --configtest
Reads, validates and dumps the configuration file as interpreted
by the server. Then exits.

ngIRCd 0.7.5 (2003-07-11)
- New configuration variable "MaxConnectionsIP" to limit the number of
(DoS), the default is 5 connections per client IP.
- Added new configuration variable "Listen" to bind all listening
sockets of the server to a single IP address.
-
+
ngIRCd 0.7.1 (2003-07-18)
- Added support for GNU/Hurd.

Notes
~~~~~
(1) i686/pc/linux-gnu:
ngIRCd has been tested with various Linux distributions, such as SuSE,
- RedHat, Debian, and Gentoo using Kernels 2.2.x or 2.4.x and various
- versions of the GNU C compiler (2.95.3, 3.0, 3.2 and 3.3). The eldest
- glibc used was glibc-2.0.7. ngIRCd compiled and run on all these systems
- without problems.

+ systems without problems.
(2) This compiler is an pre-ANSI C compiler, therefore the source code is
automatically converted using the included ansi2knr tool while building.
- C: The server supports the CHANINFO command.
+- L: INVITE- and BAN-lists should be synchronized between servers: if the
+ peer understands this flag, it will send "MODE +I" and "MODE +b"
+ commands after the server link has been established.
+
- o: IRC operators are allowed to change channel- and channel-user-modes
even if they aren't channel-operator of the affected channel.
- ngIRCd will be developed on in the future.
- supported platforms (tested versions): AIX (3.2.5), A/UX (3.0.1), FreeBSD
(4.5), HP-UX (10.20), IRIX (6.5), Linux (2.x), Mac OS X (10.x), NetBSD
- (1.5.2/i386, 1.5.3/m68k), Solaris (2.5.1, 2.6), and Windows with Cygwin.
