The option "IncludeDir" in the [Options] section can be used
to specify a directory which can contain further configuration
files and configuration file snippets matching the pattern
"*.conf" that should be read in after the main configuration
file ("ngircd.conf" by default) has been parsed.
Closes bug #157.
* systemd:
ngircd.sock: explicitely bind to IPv4 and IPv6 addresses
Show address and port of sockets passed-in by systemd(8)
Check type of sockets passed-in by systemd(8)
Adjust severity levels of some log messages
New configuration option "IdleTimeout": exit daemon when idle
Implement support for systemd(8) "socket activation"
contrib/README: add more files
This patch implements 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.
This document can be used as "help text", too, see configuration option
"HelpFile" in ngircd.conf(5).
Please note that this file in its current state is far from complete, only
a few commands are documented, but you should get an idea how it works.
So please send in patches adding the remaining parts! :-)
Now the Makefiles support spaces in "$sysconfdir", which isn't uncommon
for Cygwin for example, when $HOME contains whitespaces ("/home/User Name")
and ngIRCd is installed into the user home ("./configure --prefix=$HOME").
Now ngIRCd uses two fields internally, one to store the "real" hostname
and one to save the "cloaked" hostname. And both fields can be set
independently using the "METADATA host" and "METADATA cloakhost" commands.
This allows "foreign servers" (aka "IRC services") to alter the real and
cloaked hostnames of clients without problems, even when the user itself
issues additional "MODE +x" and "MODE -x" commands.
This flag indicates, that the server supports the enhanced "xop channel
user modes", like channel owner, admin, and halfop. This information is
used to make sure that no unsupported CHANINFO commands are sent to
servers not supporting such mode prefixes, for example.
Starting with Anope 1.9.8, the ngIRCd protocol module is rewritten from
scratch by "DukePyrolator" and included in the Anope distribution. So no
patching is required any more, yeah!
Drawback: Anope 1.9.8 is in development and not yet released ...
