ngIRCd Release 19
- New configuration option "PAMIsOptional": when set, clients not
sending a password are still allowed to connect: they won't become
"identified" and keep the "~" character prepended to their supplied
user name. See "man 5 ngircd.conf" for details.
- Fixed handling of WHO commands. This fixes two bugs: "WHO <nick>"
returned nothing at all if the user was "+i" (reported by Cahata,
thanks) and "WHO <nick|nickmask>" returned channel names instead
of "*" when the user was member of a (visible) channel.
- Fixed some spelling errors in documentation and code comments
(Thanks to Christoph Biedl).
- contrib/Debian/control: Update and complete "Build-Depends" and
update our Debian package descriptions with "official" ones.
- Fixed typo in two error messages.
- LUSERS reply: only count channels that are visible to the requesting
client, so the existence of secret channels is no longer revealed by
using LUSERS. Reported by Cahata, thanks!
- Unknown user and channel modes no longer stop the mode parser, but
are simply ignored. Therefore modes after the unknown one are now
handled. This is how ircd2.10/ircd2.11/ircd-seven behave, at least.
Reported by Cahata, thanks!
- README: Update list of implemented commands.
- Log better error messages when rejecting clients.
- Implement IRC commands "GLINE" and "KLINE" to ban users. G-Lines are
synchronized between server on peering, K-Lines are local only.
- Xcode: update project file for Xcode 4.2 and define HAVE_GAI_STRERROR
for Mac OS X Xcode builds.
- ./configure: Fix logic and quoting of poll() detection code: only use
poll() when poll.h exists as well.
- Suppress 'Can't create pre-defined channel: invalid name: ""' message.
- whois-test: handle local hostname = "localhost.localdomain" using the
pattern "localhost*" for valid local hostnames.
- sample-ngircd.conf: show correct default for "PAM" variable: The
default of "PAM" is "yes" when ngIRCd has been configured to use it,
so show the correct default value in the sample configuration file.
(Closes #119)
- Update GPL 2 license text to current version.
- Only close "unrelated" sockets in forked child processes: This fixes
the problem that ngIRCd can't do any IDENT lookups because of the
socket has already been closed in the child process.
The bug has been introduced starting with ngIRCd 17 ... :-(
(commit ID 6ebb31ab35e)
- Added doc/Modes.txt: document modes supported by ngIRCd.
- Implement user mode "R": indicates that the nick name of this user
is "registered". This mode isn't handled by ngIRCd itself, but must
be set and unset by IRC services like Anope.
- Implement channel mode "R": only registered users (having the user
mode "R" set) are allowed to join this channel.
- Test suite: bind to loopback (127.0.0.1) interface only.
- New 2nd message "Nickname too long" for error code 432.
- Xcode: Mac OS X config.h: support 10.5 as well as 10.6/10.7 SDK.
- Xcode: exclude more Xcode 4 specific directories in ".gitignore".
- Disconnect directly linked servers sending QUIT. Without this,
the server becomes removed from the network and the client list,
but the connection isn't shut down at all ...
- contrib/ngindent: detect "gindent" as GNU indent.
- Handle unknown user and channel modes: these modes are saved and
forwarded to other servers, but ignored otherwise.
- Handle channel user modes 'a', 'h', and 'q' from remote servers.
These channel user modes aren't used for anything at the moment,
but ngIRCd knows that these three modes are "channel user modes"
and not "channel modes", that is that these modes take an "nick name"
argument. Like unknown user and channel modes, these modes are saved
and forwarded to other servers, but ignored otherwise.
- Correctly inform clients when other servers change their user modes.
This is required for some services to work correctly.
- Test suite: make getpid.sh work even when run as root.
- Spoofed prefixes: close connection on non-server links only.
On server-links, spoofed prefixes can happen because of the
asynchronous nature of the IRC protocol. So don't break server-
links, only log a message and ignore the command. (Closes #113)
ngIRCd Release 18 (2011-07-10)
- Update timestamp of ngircd(8) manual page.
