+Description: A lightweight daemon for the Internet Relay Chat (IRC)
+ ngIRCd is a free open source daemon for the Internet Relay Chat (IRC)
+ network. It is written from scratch and is not based upon the original
+ IRCd like many others.
+ .
+ In addition to the features of the "standard package", this package
+ includes support for TCP wrappers, IDENT requests, the IPv6 protocol and
+ SSL encrypted client and server links.
+ .
+ And in addition to the "full" variant, the binaries contained in this
+ package are build with debug code and contain debug symbols.
+ .
+ Advantages of ngIRCd:
+  - no problems with servers using changing/non-static IP addresses.
+  - small and lean configuration file.
+  - free, modern and open source C code.
+  - still under active development.
+ .
+ ngIRCd is compatible to the "original" ircd 2.10.3p3, so you can run
+ mixed networks.

Alexander Barton	b1852f3029	Updated Debian "changelog" file for ngIRCd 14.1	2009-05-05 13:14:23 +02:00
Alexander Barton	822c1e9265	ngIRCd release 14.1	2009-05-05 12:58:51 +02:00
Alexander Barton	5b4a3eda08	Added start/stop script for Red Hat based distributions Script contributed by Naoya Nakazawa <naoya@sanow.net>.	2009-05-05 12:50:55 +02:00
Alexander Barton	a83554b572	Renamed contrib/ngircd.sh to contrib/ngircd-bsd.sh	2009-05-05 11:41:26 +02:00
Florian Westphal	627b0b713c	security: fix remotely triggerable crash in SSL/TLS code When a server is running with SSL/TLS support compiled in, it is trivial to crash the server by sending an MOTD request via another server in the network. - ONLY servers without ssl/tls support compiled in are not affected. Disabling SSL in the configuration (no ssl listening ports, etc) does NOT help. - servers that are running standalone (i.e., not connected to any other servers) are not affected, either. This affects all ngircd releases since ngircd 13 (earlier versions have no SSL/TLS support).	2009-05-05 10:21:20 +02:00
Alexander Barton	95428a72ff	Fixed "Conflicts:" line in debian/control: missing comma	2009-05-04 11:23:19 +02:00
Alexander Barton	6b83d1740e	Debian: build ngircd-full-dbg package In addition to the "ngircd" and "ngircd-full" packages a new package named "ngircd-full-dbg" is build: this package contains all the features of the "full" package but includes debug code and both the --debug and --sniffer options and the resulting binaries are _not_ stripped.	2009-04-29 02:14:17 +02:00
Alexander Barton	c8bba8e5c3	debian/rules: whitespace fixes	2009-04-29 02:12:56 +02:00
Tassilo Schweyer	37359799eb	Fix server list announcement When ngircd announces the list of currently known servers to a new (connecting) server, it sent the introducer of the servers instead of the top server. Assuming this network: irc1.example.com \|--irc2.example.com \| `--irc3.example.com \| `--irc4.example.com `--irc5.example.com When irc4 connects to irc3, irc3 tells irc4 that irc5 was connected to irc2. (irc2 had introduced irc5 to irc3; but thats not what ngircd should have sent to the new server). This also placed users on the wrong servers.	2009-04-26 00:30:49 +02:00
Alexander Barton	4a14fb252d	Doxygen: update source code repository link to GIT	2009-04-25 00:53:47 +02:00
David Kingston	9b59f043c8	allow ping timeout quit messages to show the timeout value	2009-04-23 21:39:45 +02:00
Florian Westphal	b545d38ae4	irc-server: do not remove hostnames from info text that code does not really make sense -- the info text is freely cofngiureable and des not follow a specific format. Also, that "+2" might have caused invalid memory accesses.	2009-04-22 23:15:17 +02:00
Florian Westphal	84eaed6c9a	conn-zip: fix error handling callers of (Un)Zip_Buffer() assume that the function closes the connection on error. However, this was not always the case.	2009-04-21 21:00:43 +02:00

Alexander Barton	54879b432b	Display IPv6 addresses as "[<addr>]" when accepting connections. With this patch ngIRCd displays IPv6 addresses as "[<addr>]:<port>" when accepting new connections and later, if no successful DNS lookup could be made (or DNS is disabled altogether).	2009-04-10 13:22:03 +02:00
Alexander Barton	d9355d53f8	Xcode: #define include __DATE__ in VERSION Change VERSION to include the __DATE__ when compiling from within Xcode. When building using "make xcode" or "make osxpkg" VERSION already is defined to the "real" version number set in configure.in.	2009-04-10 13:08:04 +02:00

Florian Westphal	b8c6dd503f	TLS/SSL: remove useless error message when ssl connection is closed When using OpenSSL, the following annoying "error" message was logged whenever an encrypted connection was shut down in a orderly fashion: TLS/SSL Connection shutdown: ConnSSL_Read: Unable to determine error of course, this isn't an error at all.	2009-02-05 23:47:28 +01:00

Florian Westphal	2fce4667a8	SSL/TLS: clear all ssl realted flags on shutdown one ssl related flags was not cleared on ssl shutdown. introduce and use CONN_SSL_FLAGS_ALL to zap them all.	2009-02-04 23:23:12 +01:00
Florian Westphal	c6a43fbaf0	TLS/SSL: fix memory leak when using compressed server links with ssl commit `6bc2d3d06e` (New connection option CONN_RFC1459) forgot to adjust the ssl bitmasks. The result is that when a compressed AND encrypted server link goes down the memory allocated by zlib and the r/w buffers are no longer free'd as the previous ConnSSL_Free() would then also remove the CONN_ZIP flag from the flag mask.	2009-02-04 23:01:53 +01:00

Alexander Barton	d09094812f	Channel key file: store file name and open on each access. Store the file name of channel key files and reopen them on each access (on each JOIN command) insted of just storing the file handles. This eliminates the special requirements (no delete) and makes sure that always the actual file contents are used in all circumstances.	2009-01-20 17:20:30 +01:00
Alexander Barton	c5000694d1	Support individual channel keys for pre-defined channels. This patch introduces the new configuration variable "KeyFile" for [Channel] sections in ngircd.conf. Here a file can be configured for each pre-defined channel which contains individual channel keys for different users. This file is line-based and must have the following syntax: <user>:<nick>:<key> <user> and <nick> can contain the wildcard character "*". Please not that these channel keys are only in effect, when the channel has a regular key set using channel mode "k"!	2009-01-20 17:20:30 +01:00
Alexander Barton	2c1b6280fa	RFC 2812, sec. 3.3.1: really check for the last dot This fixes commit `5a3128243f` and makes the test suite ("make check") run again without errors.	2009-01-20 16:49:34 +01:00
Florian Westphal	5a3128243f	irc.c: reject masks with wildcard after last dot RFC 2812 says in section 3.3.1 ("Private Messages"): The mask MUST have at least 1 (one) "." in it and no wildcards following the last ".".	2009-01-18 00:36:38 +01:00
Florian Westphal	95e8320ca9	irc.c: Fix handling of channels containing dots commit `2546a13ad2` ('Cumulative Message Patch') broke PRIVMSG to channels containing dots. Fix this by switching evaluation order: Check first if the target matches a existing channel and only do a check for target masks if that failed. PRIVMSG with host/server masks is described in RFC 2812, section 3.3.1. Makes one wonder how a server is _really_ supposed to tell the difference between hostmasks and channel names. Sigh.	2009-01-18 00:20:38 +01:00

Florian Westphal	1c7b9dbe93	remove unneeded LOG_DEBUG when not compiling with DEBUG support when ngircd is build without DEBUG enabled, LOG_DEBUG messages are always discarded. To avoid the extra code, ngircd has a LogDebug() wrapper which gets removed by the compiler when compiling without DEBUG defined.

Silly bug: the condition of a while() loop in the Channel_Exit() function used the wrong variable and therefore got never executed ...
