  1. ngIRCd - Next Generation IRC Server
  2. http://ngircd.barton.de/
  3. (c)2001-2011 Alexander Barton and Contributors.
  4. ngIRCd is free software and published under the
  5. terms of the GNU General Public License.
  6. -- ChangeLog --
  7. ngIRCd Release 18 (2011-07-10)
  8. - Update timestamp of ngircd(8) manual page.
  9. - Add preliminary ngIRCd protocol module for Anope 1.9 to contrib/Anope/.
  10. - Don't register WHOWAS information when "MorePrivacy" option is in effect.
  11. ngIRCd 18~rc2 (2011-06-29)
  12. - Update documentation, fix some wording, and use a spellchecker :-)
  13. - ngircd.conf.5: strip "SSL" prefix from variables in [SSL] section.
  14. - ngircd.8: document debugging options.
  15. - GnuTLS: use 1024 bits as minimum size of the DH prime. This enables
  16. ngIRCd to accept incoming connections from other servers and clients
  17. that "only" use at least 1024 bits again, like ngIRCd 17 did (and no
  18. longer requires 2048 bits for incoming connections).
  19. ngIRCd 18~rc1 (2011-06-27)
  20. - PAM warning message: make clear which "Password" config option is ignored.
  21. - New configuration option "MorePrivacy" to "censor" some user information.
  22. When enabled, signon time and idle time is left out. Part and quit
  23. messages are made to look the same. WHOWAS requests are silently dropped.
  24. All of this is useful if one wish to conceal users that access the ngircd
  25. servers from TOR or I2P.
  26. - New configuration option "ScrubCTCP" to scrub incoming CTCP commands. If
  27. activated, the server silently drops incoming CTCP requests from both
  28. other servers and from users. The server that scrubs CTCP will not forward
  29. the CTCP requests to other servers in the network either, which can spell
  30. trouble if not every oper knows about the CTCP-scrubbing. Scrubbing CTCP
  31. commands also means that it is not possible to send files between users.
  32. There is one exception to the CTCP scrubbing performed: ACTION ("/me
  33. commands") requests are not scrubbed.
  34. - Display configuration errors more prominent on "--configtest".
  35. - Restructure ngIRCd configuration file: introduce new [Limits], [Options],
  36. and [SSL] sections. The intention of this restructuring is to make the
  37. [Global] section much cleaner, so that it only contains variables that
  38. most installations must adjust to the local requirements. All the optional
  39. variables are moved to [Limits], for configurable limits and timers of
  40. ngIRCd, and [Options], for optional features. All SSL-related variables
  41. are moved to [SSL] and the "SSL"-prefix is stripped. The old variables in
  42. the [Global] section are deprecated now, but are still recognized.
  43. => Don't forget to check your configuration, use "ngircd --configtest"!
  44. - New documentation "how to contribute": doc/Contributing.txt.
  45. - Slightly fix error handling when connecting to remote servers.
  46. - GnuTLS: bump DH-bitsize to 2048: this solves the problem that some clients
  47. refuse to connect to severs that only offer 1024. For interoperability it
  48. would be best to just use 4096 bits, but that takes minutes, even on
  49. current hardware ...
  50. - contrib/platformtest.sh: fix gcc version detection.
  51. - Avoid needlessly scary 'buffer overflow' messages: When the write buffer
  52. space grows too large, ngIRCd has to disconnect the client to avoid
  53. wasting too much memory, which is logged with a scary 'write buffer
  54. overflow' message. Change this to a more descriptive wording.
  55. - Require server prefixes for most commands on RFC2812 links. RFC1459 links
  56. (often used by services, for example) are not affected.
  57. - Mac OS X: update installer functionality, texts, and add our logo :-)
  58. - New configuration option "RequireAuthPing": PING-PONG on login. When
  59. enabled, this configuration option lets ngIRCd send a PING with an numeric
  60. "token" to clients logging in; and it will not become registered in the
  61. network until the client responds with the correct PONG.
  62. - New configuration option "NoticeAuth": send NOTICE AUTH on connect. When
  63. active, ngircd will send "NOTICE AUTH" messages on client connect time
  64. like e.g. snircd (QuakeNet) does.
  65. - Generate WALLOPS message on SQUIT from IRC operators; so SQUIT now behaves
  66. like CONNECT and DISCONNECT commands, when called by an IRC operator.
  67. - Allow servers to send more commands in the first 10 seconds ("burst"). This
  68. helps to speed up server login and network synchronization.
  69. - Add support for up to 3 targets in WHOIS queries, also allow up to one
  70. wildcard query from local hosts. Follows ircd 2.10 implementation rather
  71. than RFC 2812. At most 10 entries are returned per wildcard expansion.
  72. - ngircd.conf(5) manual page: describe types of configuration variables
  73. (booleans, text strings, integer numbers) and add type information to each
  74. variable description.
  75. - Don't use "the.net" in sample-ngircd.conf, use "example.net".
  76. - Terminate incoming connections on HTTP commands "GET" and "POST".
  77. - New configuration option "CloakHost": when set, this hostname is used for
  78. every client instead of the real DNS hostname (or IP address).
  79. - New configuration option "CloakUserToNick": when enabled, ngIRCd sets
  80. every clients' user name to their nick name and hides the user name
  81. supplied by the IRC client.
  82. - doc/Protocol.txt: Update description of the CHANINFO and WEBIRC commands.
  83. - Doxygen'ify (document) much more source files; code cleanup ...
  84. - Make write buffers bigger, but flush early. Before this change, a client
  85. got disconnected if the buffer flushing at 4k failed, now regular clients
  86. can store up to 32k and servers up 64k even if flushing is not possible at
  87. the moment. This enhances reliability on slow links.
  88. - Don't access possibly free'd CLIENT structure. Ooops.
  89. - Allow "Port = 0" in [Server] blocks. Port number 0 marks remote servers
  90. that try to connect to this daemon, but where this daemon never tries to
  91. establish a connection on its own: only incoming connections are allowed.
  92. - Configuration: fix 'Value of "..." is not a number!' for negative values.
  93. - Enable WHOIS command to return information about services.
  94. - Implement channel mode 'O': "IRC operators only". This channel mode is
  95. used on DALnet (bahamut), for example.
  96. - Remove support for ZeroConf/Bonjour/Rendezvous service registration
  97. including the "[No]ZeroConf" configuration option.
  98. - TOPIC command: test for channel admin rights correctly: this enables other
  99. servers, services and IRC operators to change channel topics, even when
  100. the client is not joined to this channel.
  101. - Deprecate NoXX-Options in ngircd.conf and move new variants into our new
  102. [Options] section: 'NoDNS=no' => 'DNS=yes', 'NoIdent=no' => 'Ident=yes',
  103. 'NoPAM=no' => 'PAM=yes', and 'NoZeroConf=no' => 'ZeroConf=yes' (and
  104. vice-versa). The defaults are adjusted accordingly and the old variables
  105. in [Global] are still accepted, so there is no functional change.
  106. - Fix confusing "adding to invite list" debug messages: adding entries to
  107. ban list produced 'invite list' debug output ...
  108. - Don't throttle services and servers being registered.
  109. - Xcode: correctly sort files :-)
  110. - Don't assert() when searching a client for an invalid server token (this is
  111. only relevant when a trusted server on a server-server link sends invalid
  112. commands).
  113. ngIRCd Release 17.1 (2010-12-19)
  114. - --configtest: remember if MOTD is configured by file or phrase
  115. - Enhance log messages when establishing server links a little bit
  116. - Reset ID of outgoing server link on DNS error correctly
  117. - Don't log critical (or worse) messages to stderr
  118. - Manual page ngircd(8): add SIGNALS section
  119. - Manual pages: update and simplify AUTHORS section
  120. - Remove "error file" when compiled with debug code enabled
  121. - README: Updated list of implemented commands
  122. - add doc/README-Interix.txt and doc/Bopm.txt to distribution tarball
  123. - Merge branch 'numeric-329'
  124. - add doc/PAM.txt to distribution tarball
  125. - New numeric 329: get channel creation time on "MODE #chan" commands
  126. - Save channel creation time; new function Channel_CreationTime()
  127. ngIRCd Release 17 (2010-11-07)
  128. - doc: change path names in sample-ngircd.conf depending on sysconfdir
  129. - Fix up generation and distribution of sample-ngircd.conf
  130. - contrib/ngircd-redhat.init: updated email address of Naoya Nakazawa
  131. - contrib/platformtest.sh: make command name quoting consistent
  132. ngIRCd 17~rc3 (2010-10-27)
  133. - Xcode builds: detect version number correctly, updateed project file
  134. to use the Mac OS X 10.5.x SDK, disable pam_fail_delay() because it
  135. is only available starting with Mac OS X 10.6, and generate a default
  136. PAM configuration for the Mac OS X Installer.app package of ngIRCd.
  137. - Debian: updated standards version to 3.9.1, added libpam0g-dev to the
  138. dependencies, and install a default /etc/pam.d/ngircd allowing all logins.
  139. - Make contrib/platformtest.sh more portable.
  140. - Fix connect attempts to further IP addresses of outgoing server links.
  141. ngIRCd 17~rc2 (2010-10-25)
  142. - ZeroConf: include header files missing since commit a988bbc86a.
  143. - Generate ngIRCd version number from GIT tag.
  144. - Make sourcecode compatible with ansi2knr again. This allows to compile
  145. ngIRCd using a pre-ANSI K&R C compiler again.
  146. - ./configure: check if C compiler can compile ISO Standard C.
  147. - ./configure: check support for C prototypes again.
  148. - Don't use PARAMS() macro for function implementations.
  149. - Added m68k/apple/aux3.0.1 (gcc 2.7.2) to doc/Platforms.txt.
  150. - Only try to set FD_CLOEXEC if this flag is defined.
  151. - Only use "__attribute__ ((unused))" if GCC >=2.8 is used.
  152. - doc/Makefile.am: don't set docdir, automake handles it already.
  153. ngIRCd 17~rc1 (2010-10-11)
  154. - New configuration option "NoZeroConf" to disable service registration at
  155. runtime even if ngIRCd is compiled with support for ZeroConf (e.g. using
  156. Howl, Avahi or on Mac OS X).
  157. - New configuration option "SyslogFacility" to define the syslog "facility"
  158. (the "target"), to which ngIRCd should send its log messages.
  159. Possible values are system dependant, but most probably "auth", "daemon",
  160. "user" and "local1" through "local7" are possible values; see syslog(3).
  161. Default is "local5" for historical reasons.
  162. - Dump the "internal server state" (configured servers, established
  163. connections and known clients) to the console or syslog when receiving
  164. the SIGUSR2 signal and debug mode is enabled.
  165. - Enable the daemon to disable and enable "debug mode" on runtime using
  166. signal SIGUSR1, when debug code is compiled in, not only on startup
  167. using the command line parameters.
  168. - Signal handler: added new 'delayed' signal handlers, including fallback
  169. to deprecated sysv API. And removed global NGIRCd_SignalRehash variable.
  170. - IO: add io_cloexec() to set close-on-exec flag.
  171. - ng_ipaddr.h: include required assert.h header.
  172. - Conn_SyncServerStruct(): test all connections; and work case insensitive
  173. - configure script: correctly indent IPv6 yes/no summary output.
  174. - Don't reset My_Connections[Idx].lastping when reading data, so the
  175. client lag debug-output is working again.
  176. - Implement user mode "x": hostname cloaking (closes: #102).
  177. - Make configure switch "--docdir" work (closes: #108).
  178. - Reformat and update FAQ.txt a little bit.
  179. - INSTALL: mention SSL, IPv6, and changed handling of MotdFile.
  180. - Change MOTD file handling: ngIRCd now caches the contens of the MOTD
  181. file, so the daemon now requires a HUP signal or REHASH command to
  182. re-read the MOTD file when its content changed.
  183. - Startup: open /dev/null before chroot'ing the daemon.
  184. - Allow IRC ops to change channel modes even without OperServerMode set.
  185. - Allow IRC operators to use MODE command on any channel (closes: #100).
  186. - Added mailmap file for git-[short]log and git-blame.
  187. - Authenticated users should be registered without the "~" mark.
  188. - Set NoPAM=yes in configuration files used for the testsuite.
  189. - New configuration option "NoPAM" to disable PAM.
  190. - Implement asynchronous user authentication using PAM, please see the
  191. file doc/PAM.txt for details.
  192. - Resolver: Implement signal handler and catch TERM signals.
  193. - Don't set a penalty time when doing DNS lookups.
  194. - Add some documentation for using BOPM with ngIRCd, see doc/Bopm.txt.
  195. - Implement user mode "c": receive connect/disconnect NOTICEs. Note that
  196. this new mode requires the user to be an IRC operator.
  197. - ngircd.init: require "$network" and "$remote_fs" when stopping ngircd.
  198. - Show SSL status in WHOIS output, numeric 275.
  199. - Include correct header files when testing for arpa/inet.h (Closes: #105).
  200. - Don't access already freed memory in IRC_KILL().
  201. - Fix "beeing" typo ...
  202. - SSL/TLS: fix bogus "socket closed" error message.
  203. ngIRCd Release 16 (2010-05-02)
  204. - doc/SSL: remove line continuation marker
  205. ngIRCd 16~rc2 (2010-04-25)
  206. - Updated some more copyright notices, it's 2010 already :-)
  207. - Only compile in Get_Error() if really needed
  208. - Fix gcc warning "ignoring return value of ..."
  209. - Include netinet/in_systm.h alongside netinet/ip.h
  210. - Include netinet/{in.h, in_systm.h} when checking for netinet/ip.h
  211. - Only include <netinet/in_systm.h> if it exists
  212. - Updated doc/Platforms.txt
  213. - Enhace connection statistics counters: display total number of served
  214. connections on daemon shutdown and when a new client connects using
  215. the new numeric RPL_STATSCONN (250).
  216. ngIRCd 16~rc1 (2010-03-25)
  217. - Various fixes to the build system and code cleanups.
  218. - contrib/platformtest.sh: Only show latest commit.
  219. - Updatet doc/Platforms.txt, added new README-Interix.txt documenting
  220. how to tun ngIRCd on Microsoft Services for UNIX (MS SFU, MS SUA).
  221. - Updated links to the ngIRCd homepage (bug tracker, mailing list).
  222. - Added missing modes to USERMODES #define
  223. - Show our name (IRCD=ngIRCd) in ISUPPORT (005) numeric
  224. - Quote received messages of ERROR commands in log output.
  225. - ngircd.conf manual page: document missing "Password" variable.
  226. - Implement WEBIRC command used by some Web-IRC frontends. The password
  227. required to secure this command must be configured using the new
  228. "WebircPassword" variable in the ngircd.conf file.
  229. - Don't use port 6668 as example for both "Ports" and "SSLPorts".
  230. - Remove limit on max number of configured irc operators.
  231. - Only link "nsl" library when really needed.
  232. - A new channel mode "secure connections only" (+z) has been implemented:
  233. Only clients using a SSL encrypted connection to the server are allowed
  234. to join such a channel.
  235. But please note three things: a) already joined clients are not checked
  236. when setting this mode, b) IRC operators are always allowed to join
  237. every channel, and c) remote clients using a server not supporting this
  238. mode are not checked either and therefore always allowed to join.
  239. ngIRCd Release 15 (2009-11-07)
  240. - "ngircd --configtest": print SSL configuration options even when unset.
  241. ngIRCd 15~rc1 (2009-10-15)
  242. - Do not add default listening port (6667) if SSL ports were specified, so
  243. ngIRCd can be configured to only accept SSL-encrypted connections now.
  244. - Enable IRC operators to use the IRC command SQUIT (insted of the already
  245. implemented but non-standard DISCONNECT command).
  246. - New configuration option "AllowRemoteOper" (disabled by default) that
  247. enables remote IRC operators to use the IRC commands SQUIT and CONNECT
  248. on the local server.

  257. a throttling scheme: an IRC client can send up to 3 commands or 256 bytes
  258. per second before a one second pause is enforced.
  259. - Fix connection counter.
  260. - Fix a few error handling glitches for SSL/TLS connections.

  297. ngIRCd 13~rc1 (2008-11-21):
  298. - New version number scheme :-)
  299. - Initial support for IRC services, using a RFC1459 style interface,
  300. tested with IRCServices (http://www.ircservices.za.net/) version 5.1.13.

  311. - New make target "osxpkg" to build a Mac OS X installer package.
  312. - Debug mode: enable support for GNU libc memory tracing (see mtrace(3)).

  327. - Add option aliases -V (for --version) and -h (for --help).
  328. - Fix 'no-ipv6' compile error.
  329. - Make Listen parameter a comma-separated list of addresses. This also
  330. obsoletes ListenIPv4 and ListenIPv6 options. If Listen is unset, it
  331. is treated as Listen="::,0.0.0.0".
  332. Note: ListenIPv4 and ListenIPv6 options are still recognized,
  333. but ngircd will print a warning if they are used in the config file.
  334. ngIRCd 0.12.0 (2008-05-13)
  335. - Fix Bug: 85: "WHO #SecretChannel" that user is not a member of now returns
  336. proper RPL_ENDOFWHO_MSG instead of nothing. (Ali Shemiran)

  359. - Implement RFC 2812 handling of "0" argument to 'JOIN': must be treated
  360. as if the user had sent PART commands for all channels the user is a
  361. member of. (Dana Dahlstrom)
  362. - Allow NOTICEs to be sent to a channel. (Fabian Schlager)
  363. ngIRCd 0.11.1 (2008-02-26)
  364. - Fix sending of JOIN commands between servers when remote server appended
  365. mode flags. (Rolf Eike Beer) [from HEAD]
  366. - Send "G" instead of "H" flag in WHO replies. (reported by Dana Dahlstrom)
  367. - Under some circumstances ngIRCd issued channel MODE message with a
  368. trailing space. (Dana Dahlstrom) [from HEAD]
  369. ngIRCd 0.11.0 (2008-01-15)

  380. - Enhanced the IRC+ protocol to support an enhanced "server handshake" and
  381. enable server to recognize numeric 005 (ISUPPORT) and 376 (ENDOFMOTD).
  382. See doc/Protocol.txt for details.
  383. - Re-added doc/SSL.txt to distribution -- got lost somewhere!?
  384. - Fixes the wrong logging output when nested servers are introduced
  385. to the network as well as the wrong output of the LINKS command.
  386. - Update Mac OS X Xcode project file for Xcode 3.
  387. - Adjust test suite to be usable on HP/UX 11.11 :-)
  388. - Fix code to compile using K&R C compiler and ansi2kr again.
  389. - New config option NoDNS: Disables DNS lookups when clients connect.
  390. - Fixed propagation of channel mode 'P' on server links.
  391. - Numeric 317: implemented "signon time" (displayed in WHOIS result).

  407. (CVE-2007-6062)
  408. ngIRCd 0.10.2 (2007-06-08)
  409. ngIRCd 0.10.2-pre2 (2007-05-19)
  410. - Server links are allowed to use larger write buffers now (up to 50 KB).
  411. ngIRCd 0.10.2-pre1 (2007-05-05)
  412. - Fix compressed server links (broken since 0.10.0).
  413. - Predefined Channel configuration now allows specification of channel key
  414. (mode k) and maximum user count (mode l).
  415. - When using epoll() IO interface, compile in the select() interface as
  416. well and fall back to it when epoll() isn't available on runtime.
  417. - New configure option "--without-select" to disable select() IO API
  418. (even when using epoll(), see above).
  419. - Added support for IO APIs "poll()" and "/dev/poll".
  420. - Reorganized internal handling of invite and ban lists.
  421. ngIRCd 0.10.1 (2006-12-17)
  422. - Fixed validation of server names containing digits.
  423. - Update the "info text" of the local server after re-reading configuration.

  425. - Allow PASS syntax defined in RFC 1459 for server links, too.
  426. - Enhanced ISUPPORT message (005 numeric).
  427. - New configuration option "PredefChannelsOnly": if set, clients can only
  428. join predefined channels.
  429. - Code cleanups: use "LogDebug(...)" instead of "Log(LOG_DEBUG, ...)", use
  430. "strcspn()", unsigned vs. signed, use "const", fix whitespaces, ...
  431. ngIRCd 0.10.0 (2006-10-01)
  432. - Fixed file handle leak when daemon is not able to send MOTD to a client.
  433. ngIRCd 0.10.0-pre2 (2006-09-09)
  434. - Fixed build problems with GCC option -fstack-protector.
  435. - Minor documentation updates.
  436. ngIRCd 0.10.0-pre1 (2006-08-02)

  438. - Enhanced DIE to accept a single parameter ("comment text") which is sent
  439. to all locally connected clients before the server goes down.
  440. - The ngIRCd handles time shifts backwards more gracefully now (the
  441. timeout handling doesn't disconnect clients by mistake any more).
  442. - Internal: Restructured connection handling (the connection ID is equal
  443. to the file descriptor of the connection).
  444. - Internal: Simplified resolver code.
  445. - JOIN now supports more than one channel key at a time.
  446. - Implemented numeric "333": Time and user name who set a channel topic.

  450. the counter if data is received and disconnect clients earlier.
  451. - Removed unnecessary #define of "LOCAL", now use plain C "static" instead.
  452. - Channel topics are no longer limited to 127 characters: now the only limit
  453. is the maximum length of an IRC command, i. e. 512 bytes (in practice, this
  454. limits the topic to about 490 characters due to protocol overhead).
  455. - Reverse DNS lookup code now checks the result by doing an additional
  456. lookup to prevent spoofing.
  457. - Added new IO layer which (optionally) supports epoll() and kqueue() in
  458. addition to the select() interface.
  459. ngIRCd 0.9.2 (2005-10-15)
  460. - Fixed a bug that could cause the daemon to crash when outgoing server
  461. connections can't be established.
  462. - Fixed a bug that caused the daemon to leak file descriptors when no
  463. resolver subprocesses could be created.

  465. - Fixed a format string bug in "connection statistics" messages to clients.
  466. ngIRCd 0.9.1 (2005-08-03)
  467. - The KILL command killed much more than desired (including server links!)
  468. when the target user is connected to a remote server. Bug introduced in
  469. ngIRCd 0.9.0 ... Reported by <qssl@fastmail.fm>, Thanks!
  470. - Changed some constants to be "signed" (instead of unsigned) to solve
  471. problems with old (pre-ANSI) compilers.
  472. ngIRCd 0.9.0 (2005-07-24)
  473. ngIRCd 0.9.0-pre1 (2005-07-09)

  475. - Cut off oversized IRC messages that should be sent to the network instead
  476. of shutting down the (wrong) connection.
  477. - Don't generate error messages for unknown commands received before the
  478. client is registered with the server (like the original ircd).
  479. - Never run with root privileges but always switch the user ID.
  480. - Make "netsplit" messages RFC compliant.
  481. - Fix handling of QUIT Messages: send only one message, even if the client
  482. is member of multiple channels.
  483. - Don't exit server if closing of a socket fails; instead ignore it and
  484. pray that this will be "the right thing" ...
  485. - Implemented the IRC function "WHOWAS".
  486. - Don't enable assert() calls when not ./configure'd with --enable-debug.
  487. - Fixed ./configure test for TCP Wrappers: now it runs on Mac OS X as well.
  488. - Enhanced configure script: now you can pass an (optional) search path
  489. to all --with-XXX parameters, e. g. "--with-ident=/opt/ident".
  490. - Removed typedefs for the native C datatypes.
  491. Use stdbool.h / inttypes.h if available.
  492. - New configuration option "OperServerMode" to enable a workaround needed
  493. when running an network with ircd2 servers and "OperCanUseMode" enabled
  494. to prevent the ircd2 daemon to drop mode changes of IRC operators.
  495. Patch by Florian Westphal, <westphal@foo.fh-furtwangen.de>.
  496. - Implemented support for "secret channels" (channel mode "s").
  497. - New configuration option "Mask" for [Operator] sections to limit OPER
  498. commands to users with a specific IRC mask. Patch from Florian Westphal.
  499. - Write "error file" (/tmp/ngircd-XXX.err) only if compiled with debug
  500. code ("--enable-debug") and running as daemon process.
  501. - Don't create version information string each time a client connects
  502. but instead on server startup. By Florian Westphal.
  503. - New configuration variable "PidFile", section "[Global]": if defined,
  504. the server writes its process ID (PID) to this file. Default: off.
  505. Idea of Florian Westphal, <westphal@foo.fh-furtwangen.de>.
  506. - Code cleanups from Florian Westphal, <westphal@foo.fh-furtwangen.de>.
  507. - Raised the maximum length of passwords to 20 characters.
  508. - Fixed a memory leak when resizing the connection pool and realloc()
  509. failed. Now we don't fall back to malloc(), which should be sane anyway.
  510. Patch from Florian Westphal, <westphal@foo.fh-furtwangen.de>.
  511. - Added support for the Howl (http://www.porchdogsoft.com/products/howl/)
  512. Rendezvous API, in addition to the API of Apple (Mac OS X). The available
  513. API will be autodetected when you call "./configure --with-rendezvous".
  514. - Made ngIRCd compile on HP/UX 10.20 with native HP pre-ANSI C compiler and
  515. most probably other older C compilers on other systems.
  516. - When the daemon should switch to another user ID (ServerID is defined in
  517. the configuration file) and is not running in a chroot environment, it
  518. changes its working directory to the home directory of this user. This
  519. should enable the system to write proper core files when not running with
  520. root privileges ...
  521. ngIRCd 0.8.3 (2005-02-03)
  522. - Fixed a bug that could case a root exploit when the daemon is compiled
  523. to do IDENT lookups and is logging to syslog. Bug discovered by CoKi,
  524. <coki@nosystem.com.ar>, thanks a lot!
  525. (CVE-2005-0226; http://www.nosystem.com.ar/advisories/advisory-11.txt)
  526. ngIRCd 0.8.2 (2005-01-26)

  530. - Fixed a possible buffer underrun when reading the MOTD file. Thanks
  531. to Florian Westphal, <westphal@foo.fh-furtwangen.de>.
  532. - Fixed detection of IRC lines which are too long to send. Detected by
  533. Florian Westphal, <westphal@foo.fh-furtwangen.de>.
  534. - Fixed return values of our own implementation of strlcpy(). The code has
  535. been taken from rsync and they fixed it, but we didn't until today :-/
  536. It has only been used when the system didn't implement strlcpy by itself,
  537. not on "modern" systems. Florian Westphal, <westphal@foo.fh-furtwangen.de>.
  538. ngIRCd 0.8.1 (2004-12-25)
  539. - Autoconf: Updated config.guess and config.sub
  540. - Added some more debug code ...
  541. - Fixed wrong variable names in output of "ngircd --configtest".
  542. - Debian: Fixed the name of the "default file" in the init script for
  543. ngircd-full packages. And do the test if the binary is executable after
  544. reading this file.

  553. ngIRCd 0.8.0-pre1 (2004-05-07)
  554. - Two new configuration options: "ChrootDir" and "MotdPhrase", thanks to
  555. Benjamin Pineau <ben@zouh.org>. Now you can force the daemon to change
  556. its root and working directory to something "safe". MotdPhrase is used
  557. to define an "MOTD string" instead of a whole file, useful if the
  558. "real" MOTD file would be outside the "jail".
  559. - INVITE- and BAN-lists become synchronized between IRC+ servers when
  560. establishing new connections, if the peer supports this as well.
  561. - Reorganized autogen.sh and configure scripts.
  562. - Fixed a wrong assert() which could cause the daemon to exit spuriously
  563. when closing down connections.
  564. - Better logging of decompression errors returned by zlib.
  565. - Servers other than the destination server didn't clean up the invite
  566. list of an "invite-only" channel properly when an INVITE'd user joined.
  567. - Changed the reply of the MODE command to match the syntax of the
  568. original ircd exactly: the unnecessary but missing ":" before the last
  569. parameter has been added.
  570. - Fixed TRACE: don't output "Serv" lines for ourself; display more info.
  571. - Results of the resolver (hostnames and IDENT names) are discarded after
  572. the client is successfully registered with the server.
  573. - Better logging while establishing and shutting down connections.
  574. - The type of service (TOS) of all sockets is set to "interactive" now.
  575. - Added short command line option "-t" as alternative to "--configtest".
  576. - Added optional support for "IDENT" lookups on incoming connections. You
  577. have to enable this function with the ./configure switch "--with-ident".
  578. The default is not to do IDENT lookups.
  579. ngIRCd 0.7.7 (2004-02-05)
  580. - The info text ("real name") of users is set to "-" if none has been
  581. specified using the USER command (e. g. "USER user * * :"). Reason:
  582. the original ircd doesn't like empty ones and would KILL such users.
  583. - Fixed (optional) TCP Wrapper test which was broken and could result in
  584. false results. Thanks to Fuminori Tanizaki <tany@mcnet.ad.jp>!
  585. - Removed "USE_" prefixes of configuration #defines.
  586. ngIRCd 0.7.6 (2003-12-05)
  587. - Fixed abort() ("server crash") when INVITE'ing users to nonexistent
  588. channels. Bug found by <hiddenx@wp.pl>.
  589. - Extended version numbering of CVS versions (added date).
  590. - Enhanced/fixed doc/Protocol.txt;
  591. ngIRCd 0.7.5 (2003-11-07)
  592. - Fixed ban behavior: users which are banned from a channel can't no
  593. longer send PRIVMSG's to this channel (fixes Bug #47).
  594. - Fixed and enhanced the "penalty handling" of the server: commands that
  595. require more resources block the client for a short time.
  596. - Changed the internal time resolution to one second.
  597. - New configuration variable "MaxConnectionsIP" to limit the number of
  598. simultaneous connections from a single IP that the server will accept.
  599. This configuration options lowers the risk of denial of service attacks
  600. (DoS), the default is 5 connections per client IP.
  601. - Fixed build problems under Mac OS X 10.3.
  602. - Use "-pipe" when compiling with gcc, speeds things up a little :-)
  603. - Added new configuration variable "Listen" to bind all listening
  604. sockets of the server to a single IP address.
  605. - Suppress misleading error message of diff during make run.
  606. - Enhanced test-suite and made it work on GNU/Hurd.
  607. - Fixed minor typo in debug output :-)
  608. ngIRCd 0.7.1 (2003-07-18)
  609. - Included files to build Debian packages (located in "debian/").
  610. - Updated config.guess and config.sub to newer upstream versions.
  611. - NJOIN propagates user channel modes correctly again ... Upsa.
  612. - Made Makefile more compatible with "make -j<n>".
  613. - Added support for GNU/Hurd.
  614. - Fixed a compiler warning related to an unnecessary assert().
  615. - Enhanced VERSION command when using debug versions.
  616. ngIRCd 0.7.0 (2003-05-01)
  617. - "ServerName" is checked better now: a dot (".") is required.
  618. - The KILL command verifies and logs more parameters.
  619. ngIRCd 0.7.0-pre2 (2003-04-27)
  620. - CVS build system fixes (made autogen.sh more portable).
  621. - Fixed compilation and test-suite on Solaris (tested with 2.6).
  622. - New documentation file "doc/Platforms.txt" describing the status of
  623. ngIRCd on the various tested platforms.
  624. - Test for broken GCC on Mac OS X and disable "-pedantic" in this case.
  625. - Disable "-ansi" on Cygwin: system headers are incompatible.
  626. - The server tried to connect to other servers only once when DNS or
  627. socket failures occurred.
  628. - Fixed --configtest: There is no variable "ServerPwd", it's "Password".
  629. ngIRCd 0.7.0-pre1 (2003-04-22)
  630. - New signal handler (more secure, actions are executed outside).
  631. - GCC: the compiler is now called with more warning options enabled.
  632. - Replaced a lot of str[n]cpy(), str[n]cat() and sprintf() calls with the
  633. more secure functions strlcpy(), strlcat() and snprintf(). On systems
  634. that don't support strlcpy() and strlcat(), these functions are included
  635. in the libngportab now (with prototypes in portab.h).
  636. - If the server can't close a socket, it panics now. This is an error that
  637. can't occur during normal operation so there is something broken.
  638. - The order of log messages during disconnects is more "natural" now ;-)
  639. - Cleaned up handling of server configuration structures: modifying and
  640. removing servers during runtime works more reliable now.
  641. - Compression code from "conn.[ch]" is now found in new "conn-zip.[ch]"
  642. - Moved some connection functions from "conn.[ch]" to "conn-func.[ch]".
  643. - New command CONNECT to enable and add server links. The syntax is not
  644. RFC-compatible: use "CONNECT <name> <port>" to enable and connect an
  645. configured server and "CONNECT <name> <port> <host> <mypwd> <peerpwd>"
  646. to add a new server (ngIRCd tries to connect new servers only once!).
  647. - Added DISCONNECT command ("DISCONNECT <name>") to disable servers.
  648. - Restructured the documentation: Now the main language is English. The
  649. german documentation has been removed (until there is a maintainer).
  650. - Enhanced killing of users caused by a nickname collision.
  651. - Better error detection for status code ("numerics") forwarding.
  652. - Moved tool functions to own library: "libngtool".
  653. - New command TRACE (you can trace only servers at the moment).
  654. - New command HELP that lists all understood commands.
  655. - There should no longer remain "unknown connections" (see e.g. LUSERS)
  656. if an outgoing server link can't be established.
  657. - Added AC_PREREQ(2.50) to configure.in for better autoconf compatibility.
  658. - Conn_Close() now handles recursive calls for the same link correctly.
  659. - ngIRCd can register itself with Rendezvous: to enable support pass the
  660. new switch "--with-rendezvous" to configure.
  661. - Added support for TCP Wrappers library: pass "--with-tcp-wrappers" to
  662. configure to enable it.
  663. - Changed some configure options to use "--with"/"--without" as prefix
  664. instead of "--enable"/"--disable": "--without-syslog", "--without-zlib",
  665. "--with-tcp-wrappers", and "--with-rendezvous".
  666. - Better error reporting to clients on connect.
  667. - Enhanced manual pages ngircd(8) and ngircd.conf(5).
  668. - Documentation is now installed in $(datadir)/doc/ngircd.
  669. - Enhanced handling of NJOIN in case of nick collisions.
  670. ngIRCd 0.6.1, 2003-01-21
  671. - Fixed KILL: you can't crash the server by killing yourself any more,
  672. ngIRCd no longer sends a QUIT to other servers after the KILL, and you
  673. can kill only valid users now.
  674. - The server no longer forwards commands to ordinary users, instead it
  675. answers with the correct error message ("no such server") now.
  676. - WHOIS commands weren't always forwarded as requested.
  677. - The server sets a correct default AWAY message now when propagating
  678. between servers (bug introduced in 0.6.0).
  679. - Fixed up and enhanced CHANINFO command: channel keys and user limits
  680. are synchronized between servers now, too.
  681. - MODE returns the key and user limit for channel members correctly now.
  682. - Non-members of a channel could crash the server when trying to change
  683. its modes or modes of its members.
  684. - The server didn't validate weather a target user is a valid channel
  685. member when changing his channel user modes which could crash ngIRCd.
  686. Older changes (sorry, only available in german language):
  687. ngIRCd 0.6.0, 2002-12-24
  688. ngIRCd 0.6.0-pre2, 2002-12-23
  689. - neuer Numeric 005 ("Features") beim Connect.
  690. - LUSERS erweitert: nun wird die maximale Anzahl der lokalen und globalen
  691. Clients, die dem Server bzw. im Netzwerk seit dem letzten (Re-)Start
  692. dem Server gleichzeitig bekannt waren, angezeigt.
  693. ngIRCd 0.6.0-pre1, 2002-12-18
  694. - beim Schliessen einer Verbindung zeigt der Server nun vor dem ERROR
  695. noch eine Statistik ueber die empfangene und gesendete Datenmenge an.
  696. - der Server wartet bei einer eingehenden Verbindung nun laenger auf den
  697. Resolver (4 Sekunden), wenn das Ergebnis eintrifft setzt er aber den
  698. Login sofort fort (bisher wurde immer mind. 1 Sekunde gewartet).
  699. - Connection-Strukturen werden nun "pool-weise" verwaltet; der Pool wird
  700. bei Bedarf bis zu einem konfigurierten Limit vergroessert.
  701. - Mit der neuen Konfigurationsvariable "MaxConnections" (Sektion "Global")
  702. kann die maximale Anzahl gleichzeitiger Verbindungen begrenzt werden.
  703. Der Default ist -1, "unlimitiert".
  704. - der Server erkennt nun, ob bereits eine eingehende Verbindung von einem
  705. Peer-Server besteht und versucht dann nicht mehr, selber eine eigene
  706. ausgehende Verbindung zu diesem auufzubauen. Dadurch kann nun auf beiden
  707. Servern in der Konfiguration ein Port fuer den Connect konfiguriert
  708. werden (beide Server versuchen sich dann gegenseitig zu connectieren).
  709. - Test-Suite und Dokumentation an A/UX angepasst.
  710. - unter HP-UX definiert das configure-Script nun _XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED.
  711. - Server identifizieren sich nun mit asyncronen Passwoertern, d.h. das
  712. Passwort, welches A an B schickt, kann ein anderes sein als das, welches
  713. B als Antwort an A sendet. In der Konfig.-Datei, Abschnitt "Server",
  714. wurde "Password" dazu durch "MyPassword" und "PeerPassword" ersetzt.
  715. - Der Server kann nun zur Laufzeit die Konfiguration neu einlesen: dies
  716. macht er nach dem Befehl REHASH oder wenn ein HUP-Signal empfangen wird.
  717. - Channel-Mode "P" ("persistent") kann nur noch von IRC-Operatoren gesetzt
  718. werden. Grund: User koennen den Server sonst leicht "Channel-Flooden".
  719. - MOTD kann nun an andere Server geforwarded werden.
  720. - IRC-Befehl "TIME" implementiert.
  721. - Server-Server-Links koennen nun komprimiert werden, dazu wird die zlib
  722. (www.zlib.org) benoetigt. Unterstuetzt die Gegenseite die Komprimierung
  723. nicht, wird automatisch unkomprimiert kommuniziert. Das Verfahren ist
  724. kompatibel mit dem Original-ircd 2.10.3, d.h. beide Server koennen
  725. miteinander ueber komprimiert Links kommunizieren.
  726. - Handling der Schreibpuffer umgestellt: Server sollte schneller arbeiten.
  727. - Prefix-Fehler werden besser protokolliert (mit verursachendem Befehl).
  728. - SQUIT wird nicht mehr doppelt an andere Server weitergeleitet.
  729. - Der Server versucht nun vor dem Schliessen einer Verbindung Daten, die
  730. noch im Schreibpuffer stehen, zu senden.
  731. - Source in weiteres Modul "irc-info" aufgespalten.
  732. - Konfigurationsvariablen werden besser validiert: Laengen, Zahlen, ...
  733. - neuen Befehl STATS begonnen: bisher unterstuetzt wird "l" und "m".
  734. - bei ISON und USERHOST fehlte im Ergebnis-String der korrekte Absender.
  735. - IRC Operatoren koennen nun mit KILL User toeten. Achtung: ein Grund muss
  736. zwingend als zweiter Parameter angegeben werden!
  737. - neue Konfigurations-Variable "MaxJoins": Hiermit kann die maximale Zahl
  738. der Channels, in denen ein User Mitglied sein kann, begrent werden.
  739. - neuer, deutlich flexiblerer Parser fuer den MODE Befehl.
  740. - neue Channel-Modes l (User-Limit) und k (Channel-Key) implementiert.
  741. ngIRCd 0.5.4, 24.11.2002
  742. - Fehler-Handling von connect() gefixed: der Server kann sich nun auch
  743. unter A/UX wieder zu anderen verbinden.
  744. - in den Konfigurationsvariablen ServerUID und ServerGID kann nun nicht
  745. nur die numerische ID, sondern auch der Name des Users bzw. der Gruppe
  746. verwendet werden. Beim Start des Daemons wird nun beides angezeigt.
  747. - Besseres Logging von Prefix-Fehlern.
  748. - angenommene Sockets werden nun korrekt auf "non-blocking" konfiguriert,
  749. beim Senden und Empfangen werden Blockierungen besser abgefangen.
  750. - RPL_UMODEIS hat Code 221, nicht 211 ... *argl*
  751. - select() in Try_Write() hat falschen (keinen!) Timeout verwendet;
  752. die "Zeit-Aufloesung" des Servers sind zudem nun 2 Sekunden (TIME_RES).
  753. Insgesamt sollte die Reaktionszeit des Server nun besser sein.
  754. ngIRCd 0.5.3, 08.11.2002
  755. - NOTICE liefert nun wirklich nie mehr einen Fehler, auch dann nicht,
  756. wenn der sendende Client noch gar nicht registriert ist.
  757. - ein "schneller Server-Reconnect" wird nur noch dann versucht, wenn die
  758. Verbindung zuvor ordentlich (="lange genug") in Ordnung war; somit also
  759. nicht meht, wenn der Peer-Server gleich beim Connect ein ERROR liefert.
  760. Das vermeidet "Connect-Orgien".
  761. - einige Datentypen aufgeraumt: z.B. sind viele INT32s nun LONGs. Das ist
  762. auf Platformen mit 8-Byte-Integern kompatibler.
  763. - RPL_YOURHOST_MSG ist nun ircII- und RFC-kompatibel ;-)
  764. - Segfault unter hoher Netzaktivitaet behoben: in Conn_Close() wird die
  765. Connection-Struktur nun frueher als "ungueltig" markiert.
  766. ngIRCd 0.5.2, 04.10.2002
  767. - Buffer Overflow in Read_Resolver_Result() behoben.
  768. - Format-String-Bugs, die zum Abbruch des Servers fuehrten, behoben.
  769. - Maximale Laenge eines IRC-Prefix wurde falsch berechnet.
  770. ngIRCd 0.5.1, 03.10.2002
  771. - in RPL_YOURHOST_MSG wurde ein fehlerhafter Versionsstring geliefert.
  772. - Test-Suite: start-server.sh, stop-server.sh und stress-server.sh koennen
  773. nun "manuell" von der Kommandozeile gestartet werden, stress-server.sh
  774. startet per Default nur noch 5 Sessions, eine andere Zahl kann auf der
  775. Kommandozeile uebergeben werden (Syntax: "stress-server.sh <count>").
  776. - In bestimmten Faellen hat der Server versucht auf einen bereits wieder
  777. geschlossenen Socket Daten zu schreiben; das fuehrte zu einem Abbruch des
  778. Servers durch ein assert(). Nun wird geprueft, ob der Socket noch ok ist.
  779. - im "contrib"-Verzeichnis befindet sich nun eine RPM-Spec-Datei, aus den
  780. .tar.gz's koennen nun mit "rpm -ta <archiv>" RPM's erzeugt werden. Danke
  781. an Sean Reifschneider <jafo@tummy.com>!
  782. - Syntax von RPL_MYINFO_MSG korrigiert: liefert nun vier Parameter.
  783. ngIRCd 0.5.0, 20.09.2002
  784. - Dokumentation aktualisiert.
  785. - Fehler bei Validierung von "AdminInfo2" behoben.
  786. - Test der Flags fuer "ps" in der Testsuite verbessert, ist nun zu mehr
  787. Plattformen kompatibler.
  788. ngIRCd 0.5.0-pre2, 17.09.2002
  789. - Fix in IRC_WriteStrServersPrefix() war "badly broken" -- behoben.
  790. ngIRCd 0.5.0-pre1, 16.09.2002
  791. - Manual-Pages ngircd.8 und ngircd.conf.5 begonnen.
  792. - Wird der Netzwerk-Sniffer aktiviert (--sniffer), so schaltet der
  793. ngIRCd nun automatisch in den Debug-Modus.
  794. - auf Systemen, die inet_aton() nicht kennen (wie z.B. A/UX), kann der
  795. ngIRCd nun dennoch auch aktiv Server-Links aufbauen.
  796. - h_errno wird auf Systemen, die das nicht kennen (wie z.B. HP-UX 10.20)
  797. nicht mehr verwendet. Somit compiliert der ngIRCd nun auch dort :-)
  798. - um auf dem Ziel-System nicht vorhandene Funktionen nachzubilden wird nun
  799. die "libngportab" erzeugt; genutzt wird dies bisher fuer vsnprintf().
  800. Nun compiliert der ngIRCd auch unter Solaris 2.5.1.
  801. - "persistente Channels" (Mode 'P') implementiert: diese koennen in der
  802. Konfigurationsdatei definiert werden (Sektion "Channel", vgl. Beispiel-
  803. Konfiguration "sample-ngircd.conf") und bleiben auch dann bestehen,
  804. wenn kein User mehr im Channel ist. Zu Channel-Operatoren werden bisher
  805. nur IRC-Operatoren, die den Channel betreten. Die persistenten Channels
  806. werden durch das Flag "P" gelennzeichnet, welches normal durch Channel-
  807. Op's gesetzt und geloescht werden kann.
  808. - bei "--configtest" werden keine leere Abschnitte mehr ausgegeben.
  809. - Source in weitere Module aufgespalten: lists, irc-op und resolve.
  810. - #include's aufgeraeumt: Header includieren keine anderen mehr.
  811. - KICK implementiert (bisher kann nur ein User aus einem Channel geckicked
  812. werden, Listen, wir im RFC vorgesehen, werden bisher nicht unterstuetzt).
  813. - INVITE, den Channel-Mode "i" sowie Invite-Lists ueber den MODE-Befehl
  814. (setzen, erfragen und loeschen) implementiert.
  815. - Source an ansi2knr fuer pre-ANSI-Compiler angepasst; ansi2knr in Source-
  816. Tree aufgenommen und in Build-System integriert; der ngIRCd compiliert
  817. nun z.B. unter A/UX mit dem nativen Compiler von Apple.
  818. - TOPIC lieferte bei unbekanntem Channel einen falschen Fehlercode.
  819. - LIST versteht nun Wildcards und kann an andere Server geforwarded werden.
  820. - wurde ein KILL fuer nicht-lokale Clients empfangen, so wurden die
  821. Verwaltungs-Strukturen nicht korrekt freigegeben.
  822. - empfangene NJOIN's wurden "zerhackt" an andere Server weitergegeben.
  823. - neue Konfigurationsoption "OperCanUseMode" (Sektion "Global"):
  824. ist sie aktiv, koennen IRC-Operatoren immer Channel-Modes setzen.
  825. - Dokumentation des neuen IRC+-Protokolls begonnen: doc/Protocol.txt
  826. - Protokoll- und Server-ID bei PASS-Befehlen auf neues Format umgestellt;
  827. bei empfangenen PASS-Befehlen werden diese zudem nun auch ausgewertet.
  828. Die unterstuetzten Flags sind in doc/Protocol.txt beschrieben.
  829. - mit dem neuen Befehl CHANINFO syncronisieren Server, die das IRC+-
  830. Protokoll unterstuetzen, Channel-Modes und Topics.
  831. - neue Option "--disable-ircplus" fuer das configure-Script, um das
  832. IRC+-Protokoll abzuschalten (per Default ist es aktiviert).
  833. - Ban-Lists (setzen, erfragen und loeschen) implementiert.
  834. - wird der Server mit "-n"/"--nodaemon" gestartet, so werden keine Mel-
  835. dungen mehr ueber Syslog ausgegeben, sondern nur noch auf der Konsole.
  836. - "Test-Suite" begonnen (in "make check" integriert): Dabei wird ein
  837. speziell konfigurierter Server auf Port 6789 gestartet, mit dem dann
  838. einige Tests durchgefuehrt werden (u.a. "Stress-Test" mit 50 Clients).
  839. - zu lange Operator-Namen in der Konfiguration wurden falsch gekuerzt.
  840. - kleine Anpassung an AIX 3.2.5: nun laeuft der ngIRCd auch dort :-)
  841. - ADMIN-Befehl implementiert. Die Daten hierzu werden in der Konfig-Datei
  842. im [Global]-Abschnitt mit den Variablen "AdminInfo1", "AdminInfo2" und
  843. "AdminEMail" konfiguriert.
  844. ngIRCd 0.4.3, 11.06.2002
  845. - Bei PRIVMSG und NOTICE hat der ngIRCd nicht ueberpruft, ob das Ziel
  846. ueberhaupt ein User ist. War es keiner, so fuehrte dies zu einem
  847. Abbruch des Servers [es wurde assert() aufgerufen].
  848. ngIRCd 0.4.2, 29.04.2002
  849. - LUSERS verzaehlt sich bei eigenen Server-Links nicht mehr.
  850. - QUIT wird nun auch von noch nicht registrierten Clients akzeptiert.
  851. - IRC-Funktion LIST implementiert; bisher werden allerdings noch keine
  852. Wildcards (bis auf "*") unterstuetzt.
  853. ngIRCd 0.4.1, 08.04.2002
  854. - Bei Server-Links wird nicht mehr an Hand der Anzahl der Parameter
  855. eines empfangenen SERVER-Befehls, sondern "intern" erkannt, ob es
  856. sich um eine ein- oder ausgehende Verbindung handelt und somit das
  857. eigene PASS-SERVER-Paar gesendet werden muss oder nicht. Da sich
  858. verschiedene Versionen des Original-ircd's anders verhalten, schlug
  859. die Anmeldung je nach Gehenseite evtl. fehl.
  860. - Bei einem NICK-Befehl eines lokalen Client konnte der Server ab-
  861. stuerzen, da ein Format-String einer Log-Meldung fehlerhaft war.
  862. ngIRCd 0.4.0, 01.04.2002
  863. - IRC-Befehle nochmal auf weitere Source-Dateien aufgespalten.
  864. - WHO implementiert (bisher ohne komplette Unterstuetzung von Masks).
  865. - Der AWAY-Mode wurde nicht ueber mehrere Server-Links weitergegeben.
  866. - stderr wird nun in eine Datei umgelenkt (/tmp/ngircd-<PID>.err).
  867. Laeuft der Server nicht im Debug-Modus, so wird diese bei Programm-
  868. ende geloescht. Sollte der Server abstuerzen, finden sich hier evtl.
  869. zusaetzliche Informationen.
  870. - In Nicknames wird das Zeichen "-" nun als zulaessig erkannt.
  871. - die Beispiel-Konfigurationsdatei (doc/sample-ngircd.conf) wird als
  872. ngircd.conf installiert, wenn noch keine "echte" Konfigurationsdatei
  873. vorhanden ist.
  874. - bei WHO, WHOIS und NAMES wird nun nur noch der Status "Operator" oder
  875. "voiced" geliefert -- nicht mehr beides.
  876. - Server-Gruppen implementiert: es wird immer nur zu einem Server in
  877. einer Gruppe eine Verbindung aufgebaut, klappt es beim ersten Server
  878. nicht, so wird der naechste probiert (Variable "Group" in der Kon-
  879. figurationsdatei, Sektion [Server]).
  880. - IRC_PING() ist, wenn nicht im "strict RFC"-Mode, toleranter und ak-
  881. zeptiert beliebig viele Parameter (z.B. BitchX sendet soetwas).
  882. - die "Portab-Header" werden nicht mehr benoetigt, die System-Erkennung
  883. wird nun ausschliesslich vom configure-Script durchgefuehrt. System-
  884. abhaengige Definitionen finden sich nun unter src/portrab/.
  885. - Clients und Channels werden nicht mehr ueber ihren Namen, sondern
  886. einen Hash-Wert gesucht: sollte deutlich schneller sein.
  887. - neuer Kommandozeilen-Parameter "--configtest": die Konfiguration wird
  888. gelesen und dann die verwendeten Werte angezeigt.
  889. - Client-Mode "s" (Server Notices) implementiert.
  890. - mit dem neuen Kommandozeilen-Parameter "--config"/"-f" kann eine
  891. alternative Konfigurationsdatei angegeben werden.
  892. - nach dem Start kann der ngIRCd, wenn er mit root-Rechten laeuft,
  893. zu einer anderen User-ID und Group-ID wechseln.
  894. - URL der Homepage wird u.a. bei "--version" mit angezeigt.
  895. ngIRCd 0.3.0, 02.03.2002
  896. - bekommt der Server ein HUP-Signal, so startet er neu -- genau so, wie
  897. er auf den IRC-Befehl RESTART reagiert.
  898. - FAQ um Hinweise auf den Bugtracker erweitert.
  899. - neuer Kommandozeilen-Schalter "--passive" (-p): wird er angegeben, so
  900. verbindet sich der ngIRCd nicht mehr automatisch zu anderen Servern.
  901. Zum Debuggen manchmal ganz praktisch :-)
  902. - direkt nach dem Start schreibt der ngIRCd nun die aktiven Kommando-
  903. zeilenschalter in's Logfile (Passive, Debug, Sniffer ...).
  904. - das Signal-Flag SA_RESTART wird nur noch gesetzt, wenn es auf dem
  905. jeweiligen System auch definiert ist.
  906. - bei ausgehenden Verbindungen wird nun der Ziel-Port protokolliert.
  907. - neue Befehle VERSION und KILL implementiert.
  908. - make-Target "check" (und "distcheck") mit Sinn erfuellt :-)
  909. (die Tests sind aber bisher nicht all zu tiefgehend ...)
  910. - Durch einen Ueberlauf konnte die Idle-Time bei WHOIS negativ werden ...
  911. - Anpassungen an A/UX: gehoert nun auch zu den unterstuetzten Platformen.
  912. - WHOIS wird nicht mehr automatisch an den "Original-Server" weiterge-
  913. leitet: war eh nicht RFC-konform und machte mit Clients Probleme.
  914. - an User wird nun immer ein "komplettes" Prefix (mit Host-Mask) ver-
  915. schickt, Server bekommen nach wie vor kurze: das "Original" hat bei
  916. bestimmten Befehlen (PRIVMSG) ansonsten evtl. Probleme ...
  917. - NAMES korrigiert und vollstaendig implementiert.
  918. - SQUIT wird auf jeden Fall geforwarded, zudem besseres Logging.
  919. - Ist ein Nick bei der User-Registrierung bereits belegt, nimmt der
  920. Server nun korrekt weitere NICK-Befehle an und verwendet diese.
  921. - PRIVMSG beachtet nun die Channel-Modes "n" und "m".
  922. - AWAY implementiert. PRIVMSG, MODE, USERHOST und WHOIS angepasst.
  923. - der ngIRCd unterstuetzt nun Channel-Topics (TOPIC-Befehl).
  924. - ausgehende Server-Verbindungen werden nun asyncron connectiert und
  925. blockieren nicht mehr den ganzen Server, wenn die Gegenseite nicht
  926. erreicht werden kann (bis zum Timeout konnten Minuten vergehen!).
  927. - Wert der Konfigurations-Variable "ConnectRetry" wird besser beachtet.
  928. - Channel- und Nicknames werden nun ordentlich validiert.
  929. ngIRCd 0.2.1, 17.02.2002
  930. - NICK korrigiert: es werden nun auch alle "betroffenen" User informiert.
  931. - configure-Script erweitert, u.a. bessere Anpassung an BeOS: dort wird
  932. nun die "libbe" zum ngIRCd gelinkt, somit funktioniert auch syslog.
  933. - Fehlerhafte bzw. noch nicht verstandene Modes werden nun ausfuehrlicher
  934. an den Client geliefert.
  935. ngIRCd 0.2.0, 15.02.2002
  936. - Nicknames und Channel-Namen werden etwas besser auf Gueltigkeit ueber-
  937. prueft; ist aber nach wie vor noch nicht ausreichend.
  938. - NJOINS von Servern wurden nicht an andere Server weitergeleitet.
  939. - Begonnen Channel-Modes und User-Channel-Modes zu implementieren: der
  940. Server versteht an User-Modes o und v, beachtet letzteres allerdings
  941. noch nirgends. Bekannte (aber nicht beachtete!) Channel-Modes sind
  942. bisher a, m, n, p, q, s und t. Diese Modes werden von Usern ange-
  943. nommen, von anderen Servern werden auch unbekannte Modes uebernommen.
  944. - Benutzer von connectierenden Servern wurden nicht in den Channels ange-
  945. kuendigt, es wurden nur die internen Strukturen angepasst.
  946. - Nach dem Connect eines Users werden LUSERS-Informationen angezeigt.
  947. ngIRCd 0.1.0, 29.01.2002
  948. - User-Modes bei User-Registrierungen von andere Servern (NICK-Befehl)
  949. wurden falsch uebernommen. Zudem wurden die Modes falsch gekuerzt.
  950. - Server-Verbindungen werden nun nach dem Start erst nach einer kurzen
  951. Pause aufgebaut (zur Zeit drei Sekunden).
  952. - Hilfetext korrigiert: --help und --version waren vertauscht, die
  953. Option --sniffer wurde gar nicht erwaehnt.
  954. - FAQ.txt in doc/ begonnen.
  955. - der IRC-Sniffer wird nur noch aktiviert, wenn die Option auf der
  956. Kommandozeile angegeben wurde (bei entsprechend compiliertem Server).
  957. - Channels implementiert, bisher jedoch noch ohne Channel-Modes, d.h.
  958. es gibt keine Channel-Ops, kein Topic, kein "topic lock" etc. pp.
  959. Chatten in Channels ist aber natuerlich moeglich ;-)
  960. - neue Befehle fuer Channles: JOIN, PART und NJOIN.
  961. - durch die Channels einige Aenderungen an PRIVMSG, WHOIS, MODE etc.
  962. - neu connectierenden Servern werden nun Channels mit NJOIN angekuendigt.
  963. - Signal-Hander geaendert: die Fehlermeldung "interrupted system call"
  964. sollte so nicht mehr auftreten.
  965. - "spaeter" neu connectierende Server werden nun im Netz angekuendigt.
  966. - SERVER-Meldungen an andere Server sind nun korrekt sortiert.
  967. - Clients werden nun korrekt sowohl nur ueber den Nickname als auch die
  968. komplette "Host Mask" erkannt.
  969. ngIRCd 0.0.3, 16.01.2002
  970. - Server-Links vollstaendig implementiert: der ngIRCd kann nun auch
  971. "Sub-Server" haben, also sowohl als Leaf-Node als auch Hub in einem
  972. IRC-Netzwerk arbeiten.
  973. - MODE und NICK melden nun die Aenderungen an andere Server, ebenso
  974. die Befehle QUIT und SQUIT.
  975. - WHOIS wird nun immer an den "Original-Server" weitergeleitet.
  976. - Parses handhabt Leerzeichen zw. Parametern nun etwas "lockerer".
  977. - Status-Codes an den Server selber werden ignorier.
  978. - Log-Meldungen und Log-Level ueberarbeitet und korrigiert.
  979. - Kommandozeilen-Parser: Debug- und No-Daemon-Modus, Hilfe.
  980. - ngIRCd wandelt sich nun in einen Daemon (Hintergrundprozess) um.
  981. - WHOIS korrigiert: Anfrage wurde u.U. an User geforwarded anstatt vom
  982. Server beantwortet zu werden.
  983. - neue Befehle: LUSERS, LINKS
  984. - Client-Modes von Remote-Servern wurden nicht korrekt uerbernommen.
  985. ngIRCd 0.0.2, 06.01.2002
  986. - Struktur der Konfigurationsdatei geaendert: sie ist nun "Samba like",
  987. d.h. sie besteht aus Abschnitten (siehe "doc/sample-ngircd.conf").
  988. - Es koennen mehrere IRC-Server-Opertatoren konfiguriert werden.
  989. - Zombies der Resolver-Prozesse werden nun ordentlich "getoetet".
  990. - NICK kann nun die Gross- und Kleinschreibung eines Nicks aendern.
  991. - ein Server-Passwort ist nun konfigurierbar.
  992. - neue Befehle: ERROR, SERVER, NJOIN (nur als "Fake"), SQUIT.
  993. - Asyncroner Resolver Hostname->IP implementiert.
  994. - Server-Links teilweise implementiert: bisher kann der ngIRCd jedoch
  995. nur "leafed server" sein, d.h. keine "Client-Server" haben. Einige
  996. Befehle sind auch noch nicht (optimal) angepasst: PRIVMSG funktioniert
  997. aber bereits, ebenso wie WHOIS (letzterer wird immer an den Server,
  998. auf dem der User registriert ist, weitergegeben).
  999. - "arpa/inet.h" wird nur noch includiert, wenn vorhanden.
  1000. - Fehler bei select() fuerhen nun zum Abbruch von ngIRCd, bisher landete
  1001. der Server zumeist in einer Endlosschleife.
  1002. - Logmeldungen und Level an vielen Stellen verbessert.
  1003. - lokalen Usernamen wird nun ein "~" vorangestellt, da bisher noch keine
  1004. Ident-Anfragen gemacht werden.
  1005. ngIRCd 0.0.1, 31.12.2001
  1006. - erste oeffentliche Version von ngIRCd als "public preview" :-)
