ngIRCd 21
|
||||
|
||||
- Implement a new configuration option "IncludeDir" in the "[Options]"
|
||||
section that can be used to specify a directory which can contain
|
||||
further configuration files and configuration file snippets matching
|
||||
the pattern "*.conf". These files are read in after the main server
|
||||
configuration file ("ngircd.conf" by default) has been read in and
|
||||
parsed. The default is "$SYSCONFDIR/ngircd.conf.d", so that it is
|
||||
possible to adjust the configuration only by placing additional files
|
||||
into this directory. (Closes bug #157)
|
||||
- Add Travis-CI configuration file (".travis.yml") to project.
|
||||
- ngIRCd now accepts user names including "@" characters, saves the
|
||||
unmodified name for authentication but stores only the part in front
|
||||
of the "@" character as "IRC user name". And the latter is how
|
||||
ircd2.11, Bahamut, and irc-seven behave as well. (Closes bug #155)
|
||||
- Lots of IRC "information functions" like ADMIN, INFO, ... now accept
|
||||
server masks and names of connected users (in addition to server names)
|
||||
for specifying the target server of the command. (Closes bug #153)
|
||||
- Implement a new configuration option "IdleTimeout" in the "[Limits]"
|
||||
section of the configuration file which can be used to set a timeout
|
||||
in seconds after which the whole daemon will shutdown when no more
|
||||
connections are left active after handling at least one client.
|
||||
The default is 0, "never".
|
||||
This can be useful for testing or when ngIRCd is started using "socket
|
||||
activation" with systemd(8), for example.
|
||||
- Implement support for systemd(8) "socket activation".
|
||||
- Enable WHOIS to display information about IRC Services using the new
|
||||
numeric 310(RPL_WHOISSERVICE) This numeric is used for this purpose by
|
||||
InspIRCd, for example -- but as usual, other numerics are in use, too,
|
||||
like 613 in UltimateIRCd ...
|
||||
Please note that neither the Operator (+o) not the "bot status" (+B)
|
||||
of an IRC service id displayed in the output.
|
||||
- Update systemd(8) example configuration files in ./contrib/ directory:
|
||||
the "ngircd.service" file now uses the "forking" service type which
|
||||
enhances the log messages shown by "systemctl status ngircd.service",
|
||||
and the new "ngircd.socket" file configures a systemd socket that
|
||||
configures a socket for ngIRCd and launches the daemon on demand.
|
||||
- Enhance help system and the HELP command: now a "help text file" can be
|
||||
set using the new configuration option "HelpFile" ("global" section),
|
||||
which is read in and parsed on server startup and configuration reload,
|
||||
and then is used to output individual help texts to specific topics.
|
||||
Please see the file ./doc/Commands.txt for details.

- Allow user names ("INDENT") up to 20 characters when ngIRCd has not

been configured for "strict RFC mode". This is useful if you are using

external (PAM) authenticaion mechanisms that require longer user names.
