ngIRCd 27~rc1
|
||||||
|
- 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

|
- 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".
|
||||||
|
- 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).
|
||||||
|
- 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.
|
||||||
|
- 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.
|
||||||
|
- 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.
|
||||||
|
- 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.
|
||||||
|
- 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!
|
||||||
|
- 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.
|
||||||
|
- Allow IRC Operators to use the WHO command on any channel.
|
||||||
|
- 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.
|
||||||
|
- 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.

- 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).
