ngIRCd 26
|
|
|
|
ngIRCd 26~rc1
|
|
- Remove deprecated legacy configuration options and related functions that
|
|
have been marked for removal for quite some time:
|
|
- PredefChannelsOnly (v22)
|
|
- NoticeAuth (v24)
|
|
- NoXXX (v19)
|
|
- Old '[GLOBAL]' section handling (v19)
|
|
Thanks to Michi <michi+ngircd@dataswamp.org> for the patch!
|
|
- Increase read buffer size for server connections: This applies the same
|
|
logic we have for write buffers to distinguish between server and client
|
|
connections and sets the maximum buffer size accordingly. As a result
|
|
peering with servers with many GLINE/KLINEs does not kill the connecting
|
|
server connection anymore. Thanks to Michi <michi+ngircd@dataswamp.org>!
|
|
- Fix recursion bug on write errors: Depending on the stack size, too many
|
|
clients on the same channel quitting at the same time would trigger a crash
|
|
due to too many recursive calls to Conn_Close(). Thanks to Michi
|
|
<michi+ngircd@dataswamp.org> for the patch!
|
|
- Fix builds using GCC option -fno-common, which is the default starting with
|
|
GCC 10. Thanks to Michi <michi+ngircd@dataswamp.org> for the patch!
|
|
Closes #266.
|
|
- Convert INSTALL and README files to Markdown.
|
|
- Allow setting arbitrary channel modes in the configuration file by handling
|
|
them like in MODE commands, and allow multiple "Modes =" lines per [Channel]
|
|
section. Thanks to Michi <michi+ngircd@dataswamp.org>!
|
|
Closes #55.
|
|
- Add "FNC" (forced nick changes) to ISUPPORT(005) numeric. Most probably
|
|
this doesn't make any difference to any client, but it seems correct.
|
|
See <http://www.irc.org/tech_docs/005.html> for details.
|
|
- Reuse old SSL key if loading a new one failed.
|
|
- Remove outdated OpenBSD/NetBSD systrace.policy.
|
|
- Enhance handling of command line errors, and return with exit code 0 ("no
|
|
error") when "--help" or "--version" is used (which resulted in exit code 1,
|
|
"error" before). Exit with code 2 ("command line error") for all other
|
|
invalid command line options, and show the error message itself on stderr
|
|
(instead of stdout and exit code 1, "generic error", as before).
|
|
This new behaviour is more in line with the GNU "coding standards",
|
|
see <https://www.gnu.org/prep/standards/html_node/_002d_002dhelp.html>.
|
|
- Fix and update Xcode project: Reference correct contrib/Makefile.am file,
|
|
correctly sort contrib/nglog.sh and add "ORGANIZATIONNAME" setting.
|
|
- contrib/ngindent.sh: Add more GNU indent options for better results, and
|
|
add the ".sh" suffix to bring this script in line with the others in the
|
|
contrib/ folder.
|
|
- Add ./contrib/nglog.sh: This script parses the log output of ngircd(8),
|
|
and colorizes the messages according to their log level. Example usage:
|
|
ngircd -f $PWD/doc/sample-ngircd.conf -np | ./contrib/nglog.sh
|
|
- Log received signals with their names using strsignal(3), when available.
|
|
- Make test suite compatible with Haiku OS.
|
|
- Fix host mask cloaking bug, don't cloak multiple times: Previously, each
|
|
server would cloak every user's host mask. The problem is that if a network
|
|
has more than one server, then a user's host mask would get cloaked twice.
|
|
This patch ensures that a server only cloaks the host mask if it has not yet
|
|
been cloaked (the period indicates it's still an IP address). Thanks to
|
|
JRMU <jrmu@lecturify.com> for the patch!
|
|
Closes #228.
|
|
- Enlarge buffers of info texts to 128 bytes. This includes:
|
|
- "Real name" of a client (4th filed of the USER command).
|
|
- Server info text ("Info" configuration option).
|
|
- Admin info texts and email address ("AdminInfo1", "AdminInfo2" and
|
|
"AdminEmail" configuration options).
|
|
- Network name ("Network" configuration option).
|
|
The limit was 64 bytes before ...
|
|
Closes #258.
|
|
- Streamline handling of invalid and unset server name: Don't exit during
|
|
runtime (REHASH command, HUP signal), because the server name can't be
|
|
changed in this case anyway and the new invalid name will be ignored.
|
|
- Fix and extend documentation: Fix some typos, fix syntax of LINKS and LIST
|
|
commands, whitespace and spelling fixes, update dependencies and add some
|
|
more information about IRCv3 support.
|
|
Thanks to Thanks Windree, Étienne Mollier <etienne.mollier@mailoo.org> and
|
|
Christoph Biedl <debian.axhn@manchmal.in-ulm.de>.
|
|
Closes #264.
|
|
- Slightly reorder startup steps, and enhance logging:
|
|
- Show name of configuration file at the beginning of start up.
|
|
- Add a message when ngIRCd is ready, including its host name.
|
|
- Show name of configuration file on REHASH (SIGHUP), too.
|
|
- Change level of "done message" to NOTICE, like "starting" & "ready".
|
|
- Initialize IO functions before channels, connections, clients, ...
|
|
- configure.ng: OpenSSL can depends on lz or latomic so use pkg-config to
|
|
find those dependencies and fallback to existing mechanism.
|
|
Closes #256.
|
|
- ngircd.conf.5: Fix wording as suggested by lintian.
|
|
|
|
ngIRCd 25 (2019-01-23)
|
|
|
|
- Fix documentation of MotdPhrase length, which actually is 126 characters:
|
|
update sample configuration file as well as the man page. Thanks to
|
|
shankari <shankari@eecs.berkeley.edu>.
|
|
Closes #254.
|
|
- Implement new configuration option "MaxPenaltyTime", which configures the
|
|
maximum penalty time increase in seconds, per penalty event. Set to -1 for
|
|
no limit (the default), 0 to disable penalties altogether. ngIRCd doesn't
|
|
use penalty increases higher than 2 seconds during normal operation, so
|
|
values higher than 1 rarely make sense.
|
|
Disabling (or reducing) penalties can greatly speed up "make check" runs
|
|
for example, see below, but are mostly a debugging feature and normally
|
|
not meant to be used on production systems!
|
|
Some example timings running "make check" from my macOS workstation:
|
|
- MaxPenaltyTime not set: 4:41,79s
|
|
- "MaxPenaltyTime = 1": 3:14,71s
|
|
- "MaxPenaltyTime = 0": 25,46s
|
|
Closes #249 and #251.
|
|
- Fix compilation without deprecated OpenSSL APIs. Thanks to Rosen Penev
|
|
<rosenp@gmail.com> for the patch!
|
|
Closes #252.
|
|
- Update Xcode project for latest Xcode version (10.0)
|
|
- Fix some compiler warnings of Apple Xcode/Clang
|
|
- Allow a 5th parameter in WEBIRC. Thanks to "ItsOnlyBinary".
|
|
Closes #247.
|
|
- Update some more documentation files and source code comments.
|
|
- Platforms.txt: Add and update systems.
|
|
|
|
ngIRCd 25~rc1 (2018-08-11)
|
|
- Update config.guess (2018-03-08) and config.sub (2018-03-08) files.
|
|
- Correctly retry to establish an outgoing connections when forking of the
|
|
resolver sub-process failed (for example because of lack of free memory).
|
|
Until now, such a connection was never retried once this error was hit.
|
|
Thanks to Robert Obermeier for reporting this bug!
|
|
Closes #243.
|
|
- Fix a "use after free" bug which can be triggered on a newly established
|
|
connection when the daemon handles an ERROR command received from the peer
|
|
during client login. Thanks a lot to Joseph Bisch <joseph.bisch@gmail.com>
|
|
for discovering and reporting this issue!
|
|
- Only send TOPIC updates to a channel when the topic actually changed:
|
|
This prevents the channel from becoming flooded by unnecessary TOPIC update
|
|
messages, that can happen when IRC services try to enforce a certain topic
|
|
but which is already set (at least on the local server), for example.
|
|
Therefore still forward it to all servers, but don't inform local clients
|
|
(still update setter and timestamp information, though).
|
|
- Update Xcode project for latest Xcode version (9.2). This includes adding
|
|
missing and deleting obsolete file references.
|
|
- Handle user mode "C" ("Only users that share a channel are allowed to send
|
|
messages") like user mode "b" ("block private messages and notices"): allow
|
|
messages from servers, services, and IRC Operators, too. Change proposed by
|
|
"wowaname" back in 2015 in #ngircd, thanks!
|
|
- Fix some compiler warnings.
|
|
- Add contrib/ngircd.logcheck: Some sample logcheck(8) rules.
|
|
- Allow IRC Ops and remote servers to KILL service clients: such clients
|
|
behave like regular users, therefore IRC operators and servers should be
|
|
able to KILL them: for example to resolve nick collisions.
|
|
Closes #242.
|
|
- Don't forward KILLs to other servers if they've been blocked locally:
|
|
This prevents clients from killing IRC services, for example.
|
|
Closes #238 and #239.
|
|
- Fix a cross-compiler issue related to the Get_Error() function.
|
|
Closes #240 and #241.
|
|
- Update ./doc/Services.txt, enhance configuration examples.
|
|
|
|
ngIRCd 24 (2017-01-20)
|
|
|
|
- Make sure that ./contrib/platformtest.sh aborts when ./autogen.sh fails.
|
|
- Update config.guess (2016-10-02) and config.sub (2016-11-04) files.
|
|
- Build Debian packages with OpenSSL instead of GnuTLS: OpenSSL allows
|
|
to reload used certificates on runtime for example (which is very
|
|
useful when using Let's Encrypt), and therefore is preferred. And
|
|
explicitly specify the "source format".
|
|
- Fix handling of connection pool allocation and enlargement: up to now,
|
|
the daemon only enlarged its connection pool when accepting new incoming
|
|
client or server connections, not when establishing new outgoing server
|
|
links, which could lead to problems when hitting the configured limit,
|
|
see "MaxConnections". Thanks to Lukas Braun (k00mi) for reporting this!
|
|
Closes #231.
|
|
|
|
ngIRCd 24~rc1 (2017-01-07)
|
|
- Enhance systemd service file, and install it in Debian package.
|
|
- Update configuration of Debian package.
|
|
- Log privilege violations and failed OPER request with log level "error"
|
|
and send it to the "&SERVER" channel, too.
|
|
- Immediately shut down connection when receiving an "ERROR" command,
|
|
don't wait for the peer to close the connection. This allows the daemon
|
|
to forward the received "ERROR" message in the network, instead of the
|
|
very generic "client closed connection" message.
|
|
- Fix sending of entry duration (no negative values!) when synchronizing
|
|
"x-lines" (G-LINES).
|
|
- List expiration (G-LINES): use same log level as when setting, and log
|
|
this event to the &SERVER channel, too.
|
|
- Explicitly forbid remote servers to modify "x-lines" (G-LINES) when the
|
|
"AllowRemoteOper" configuration option isn't set, even when the command
|
|
seems to originate from the remote server itself: this prevents GLINE's
|
|
to become set during server handshake in this case (what wouldn't be
|
|
possible during regular runtime when a remote IRC Op sends the command)
|
|
and what can't be undone by IRC Ops later on (because of the missing
|
|
"AllowRemoteOper" option) ...
|
|
- Make scripts and init-files in ./contrib executable.
|
|
- Fix building ngIRCd with OpenSSL 1.1. Thanks to Christoph Biedl
|
|
<ngircd.anoy@manchmal.in-ulm.de> for the patch!
|
|
- Fix code indentation warnings of gcc 6.2.
|
|
- Update config.guess (2016-04-02) and config.sub (2016-03-30) files.
|
|
- Fix warnings of the "shellcheck" linter in autogen.sh, contrib/ngindent
|
|
and contrib/platformtest.sh.
|
|
- Update Xcode project for latest Xcode version (8.0), and fix "duplicate
|
|
symbols" error messages when building (linking) the binary.
|
|
- Add "Documentation" variables to systemd configuration files.
|
|
- Make sure that SYSCONFDIR is always set, which can be handy when
|
|
using source code linters when ./configure hasn't been run already.
|
|
- Add the new "PAMServiceName" configuration option to specify the name
|
|
used as PAM service name. This setting allows to run multiple ngIRCd
|
|
instances with different PAM configurations for each instance.
|
|
Thanks to Christian Aistleitner <christian@quelltextlich.at> for the
|
|
patch, closes #226.
|
|
- Add an ".editorconfig" file to the project.
|
|
- Travis-CI: use "container-based infrastructure".
|
|
- Limit the number of message targets, and suppress duplicates: This
|
|
prevents an user from flooding the server using commands like this:
|
|
"PRIVMSG nick1,nick1,nick1,...".
|
|
Duplicate targets are suppressed silently (channels and clients).
|
|
In addition, the maximum number of targets per PRIVMSG, NOTICE, ...
|
|
command are limited to MAX_HNDL_TARGETS (25). If there are more, the
|
|
daemon sends the new 407 (ERR_TOOMANYTARGETS_MSG) numeric, containing
|
|
the first target that hasn't been handled any more. Closes #187.
|
|
- Test suite: Add new test for server-server logins.
|
|
- contrib/ngindent: Fix shebang line.
|
|
- Make contrib/platformtest.sh script more portable, and only show
|
|
"runs=Y" when the test suite really has been passed successfully.
|
|
- Code cleanup in the NJON handler and the function killing clients as
|
|
well as the function sending messages to a "mask" (cleaner code, more
|
|
fault tolerant, better code comments).
|
|
- Update and enhance documentation: README file, doc/Platforms.txt,
|
|
doc/Modes.txt, doc/Commands.txt, doc/PAM.txt.
|
|
- Fix NJOIN not propagating "half ops" status: ngIRCd tested for the wrong
|
|
prefix of "half ops" when processing NJOIN commands and therefore never
|
|
classified a remote user as "half op".
|
|
Thanks to wowaname for pointing this out on #ngircd!
|
|
|
|
ngIRCd 23 (2015-11-16)
|
|
|
|
- Explicitly cast time_t to long when printing it out: this prevents
|
|
wrong sized data types on platforms where time_t doesn't equal a
|
|
long any more, for example on OpenBSD (which would result in garbled
|
|
output on those platforms).
|
|
- contrib/Debian/changelog: Fix email address.
|
|
- Documentation: Spelling fixes; update doc/Platforms.txt.
|
|
|
|
ngIRCd 23~rc1 (2015-09-06)
|
|
- Add ".clang_complete" file, which is used by the "linter-clang" package
|
|
of the Atom editor, for example.
|
|
- Make server-to-server protocol more robust: ngIRCd now catches more
|
|
errors on the server-to-server (S2S) protocol that could crash the
|
|
daemon before. This hasn't been a real problem because the IRC S2S
|
|
protocol is "trusted" by design, but the behavior is much better now.
|
|
Thanks to wowaname on #ngircd for pointing this out!
|
|
- Make platformtest.sh, autogen.sh, and ngircd.init more portable.
|
|
- Enables "reproducible builds" for ngIRCd: Use the optional BIRTHTIME
|
|
constant while building ngIRCd, which contains a time stamp for the
|
|
"Birth Date" information, in seconds since the epoch.
|
|
See <https://wiki.debian.org/ReproducibleBuilds>.
|
|
- Update "contrib/ngircd.service" file for systemd.
|
|
- INSTALL: Add deprecation notice for "PredefChannelsOnly" variable.
|
|
- Use "NOTICE *" before registration instead of "NOTICE AUTH". "AUTH" is
|
|
a valid nickname so sending notices to it is probably not a good idea.
|
|
Use "*" as the target instead as done with numerics when the nick is not
|
|
available. This mimics the behavior in Charybdis, IRCD-Hybrid, InspIRCd
|
|
2.2, Plexus 4, etc. Closes #217.
|
|
The "NoticeAuth" configuration variable (ngircd.conf) has been renamed
|
|
to "NoticeBeforeRegistration" accordingly, but the old name is still
|
|
supported for compatibility reasons.
|
|
- Implement new channel mode "N" (regular users can't change their nick
|
|
name while on this channel). Closes #214.
|
|
- README, AUTHORS: Update mailing list and issue tracker URLs.
|
|
- Remove doc/GIT.txt (it is outdated), update doc/Contributing.txt:
|
|
ngIRCd uses GitHub, and Git itself is quite common today. So don't
|
|
include an own Git "mini HowTo" any longer.
|
|
- Specify session context for OpenSSL clients. This enables some OpenSSL
|
|
clients, including Pidgin and stunnel 5.06, to reuse a session.
|
|
Patch by Tom Ryder <tom@sanctum.geek.nz>, thanks! Closes #182.
|
|
- Keep track of who placed bans, invites, and excepts.
|
|
Idea and implementation by LucentW, Thanks! Closes #203.
|
|
- Make setgroups(3) function optional: For example, Interix is missing
|
|
this function, which prevented ngIRCd to build on this platform. When
|
|
setgroups(3) isn't available, a warning message is issued on startup.
|
|
- Implement numeric RPL_LISTSTART(321). lightIRC and other clients
|
|
expecting RPL_LISTSTART should now behave correctly.
|
|
Idea and implementation by LucentW, Thanks! Closes #207.
|
|
- Update ngircd.conf.5: "CloakUserToNick" hides user _and_ real name.
|
|
This closes #208.
|
|
- Fix case insensitive pattern matching: Up to now, only the input
|
|
string became lowercased and was then compared to the pattern -- which
|
|
failed when the pattern itself wasn't all lowercase!
|
|
- Streamline the effect of "MorePrivacy" option: Update documentation
|
|
in ngircd.conf(5); don't hide channels for IRC Ops on LIST and don't
|
|
hide IP addresses/hostnames on WHOIS when "MorePrivacy" is in effect.
|
|
This closes #198.
|
|
- IRC operators now can kick anyone when "OperCanMode" is set.
|
|
Idea and implementation by LucentW, Thanks! Closes #202.
|
|
- Implement user mode "I": Hide channels on WHOIS: this mode prevents
|
|
ngIRCd from showing channels on WHOIS (IRC Operators can always see
|
|
the channel list).
|
|
Idea and implementation by LucentW, Thanks! Closes #197.
|
|
- INVITE command: Implement ERR_USERNOTONSERV(504) numeric and make sure
|
|
that the target user is on the same server when inviting other users
|
|
to local ("&") channels.
|
|
Idea by Cahata, thanks! Closes #183.
|
|
- INVITE command: Enforce 1 second penalty time, which prevents flooding
|
|
of the target client.
|
|
This closes #186. Reported by Cahata, thanks!
|
|
- MODE command: Always report channel creation time. Up to now when
|
|
receiving a MODE command, ngIRCd only reported the channel creation
|
|
time to clients that were members of the channel. This patch reports
|
|
the channel creation time to all clients, regardless if they are joined
|
|
to that channel or not. At least ircd-seven behaves like this.
|
|
This closes #188. Reported by Cahata, thanks!
|
|
- Update Xcode project for latest Xcode version (6.3).
|
|
|
|
ngIRCd 22.1 (2015-04-06)
|
|
|
|
- Update doc/Platforms.txt and doc/FAQ.txt.
|
|
- Fix spelling of RPL_WHOISBOT message text.
|
|
- Don't send nick name as default PART reason: No other IRC daemon seems
|
|
to do this (today?). Closes #185.
|
|
Reported by Cahata in #ngircd, thanks!
|
|
- Fix "WHO #<chan>" showing invisible users and hiding all visible, the
|
|
logic was reversed! This bug has been introduced by commit c74115f2,
|
|
"Simplify mode checking on channels and users within a channel", ngIRCd
|
|
releases 21, 21.1, and 22 are affected :-( Problem reported by Cahata
|
|
in #ngircd, Thanks!
|
|
- Fix typo in src/testsuite/README
|
|
- Auth PING: Fix our information text for manual sending of "PONG". Up to
|
|
now, ngIRCd doesn't send a valid IRC command at all, oops!
|
|
- Auth PING: Fix internal time stamp conversion and don't send a prefix in
|
|
our PING command. The prefix confuses WeeChat, at least, which doesn't
|
|
send an appropriate PONG in the case ...
|
|
Debugging and patch by "wowaname" on #ngircd, thanks!
|
|
- Fix syntax of ERR_LISTFULL_MSG(478) numeric. Pointed out by "wowaname"
|
|
in #ngircd, thanks!
|
|
- Enhance debug messages while sending CHANINFO commands.
|
|
- Reset "last try" timer when enabling a passive server. This results in
|
|
a new connection attempt as soon as possible.
|
|
- Change log message for "Can't resolve address" and for IP address
|
|
forgeries.
|
|
- doc/HowToRelease.txt: Add note about the bug tracker.
|
|
- Update "CipherList" to not enable SSLv3 by default. Idea, initial patch,
|
|
and testing by Christoph Biedl <ngircd.anoy@manchmal.in-ulm.de>.
|
|
- Change ngIRCd test suite not to use DNS lookups: Different operating
|
|
systems do behave quite differently when doing DNS lookups, for example
|
|
"127.0.0.1" sometimes resolves to "localhost" and sometimes to
|
|
"localhost.localdomain" (for example OpenBSD). And other OS resolve
|
|
"localhost" to the real host name (for example Cygwin). So not using
|
|
DNS at all makes the test site much more portable.
|
|
|
|
ngIRCd 22 (2014-10-11)
|
|
|
|
- Match all list patterns case-insensitive: this affects the invite-,
|
|
ban-, and except lists, as well as G-Lines an K-Lines.
|
|
Problem pointed out by "wowaname" on #ngircd, thanks!
|
|
|
|
ngIRCd 22~rc1 (2014-09-29)
|
|
- Sync "except lists" between servers: Up to now, ban, invite, and G-Line
|
|
lists have been synced between servers while linking -- but obviously
|
|
nobody noticed that except list have been missing ever since. Until now.
|
|
Thanks to "j4jackj", who reported this issue in #ngircd.
|
|
- Allow longer user names (up to 63 characters) for authentication.
|
|
- Correctly check that a server has a valid hostname and port, thanks to
|
|
David Binderman <dcb314@hotmail.com> who reported this bug.
|
|
- Fix the function which generates complete "IRC masks" from user input,
|
|
don't destroy the source buffer and use all provided parts (nick, user,
|
|
host name). This fixes GLINEs/KLINEs from not working in some situations.
|
|
- Increase MAX_SERVERS from 16 to 64: There are installations out there
|
|
that would like to configure more than 16 links per server, so increase
|
|
this limit. Best would be to get rid of MAX_SERVERS altogether and make
|
|
if fully dynamic, but start with this quick and dirty hack ...
|
|
- Debian: Don't adjust path names that are correct by default and correctly
|
|
set and use "docdir".
|
|
- Update config.guess and config.sub to recent versions.
|
|
- Test suite/platformtest.sh: Detect when tests have been skipped.
|
|
- doc/Bopm.txt: Update "connregex" and "kline" for current ngIRCd.
|
|
- Allow "DefaultUserModes" to set all possible modes, including modes only
|
|
settable by IRC Operators.
|
|
- Spoofed prefixes: Really kill connection on non-server links.
|
|
- Implement user mode "F": "relaxed flood protection". Clients with mode
|
|
"F" set are allowed to rapidly send data to the daemon. This mode is only
|
|
settable by IRC Operators and can cause problems in the network -- so be
|
|
careful and only set it on "trusted" clients!
|
|
User mode "F" is used by Bahamut for this purpose, for example.
|
|
- Handle "throttling" in a single function: ngIRCd implements "command
|
|
throttling" and "bps throttling" (bytes per second). The states are
|
|
detected in different functions, Conn_Handler() and Read_Request(), but
|
|
handle the actual "throttling" in a common function: this enables us to
|
|
guarantee consistent behavior and to disable throttling for special
|
|
connections in only one place
|
|
- Use server password when PAM is compiled in but disabled.
|
|
- Streamline punctuation of log messages.
|
|
- Return ISUPPORT(005) numerics on "VERSION". This is how ircd-seven,
|
|
Charybdis, Hybrid, and InspIRCd behave, for example.
|
|
- configure: Only link "contrib/Debian" if it exists, which isn't the case
|
|
on "VPATH builds", for example.
|
|
- Show the account name in WHOIS. This uses the same numeric as Charybdis
|
|
and ircu families: WHOISLOGGEDIN(330).
|
|
- Pattern matching: Remove "range matching" in our pattern matching code
|
|
using the "[...]" syntax, because [ and ] are valid characters in nick
|
|
names and one has to quote them currently using the "\" character, which
|
|
is quite unexpected for users.
|
|
- platformtest.sh: New option "-x", don't regenerate build system and
|
|
allow using separate source and build trees.
|
|
- Test suite: explicitly enable glibc memory checking.
|
|
- Make "MODE -k" handling more robust and compatible, send "fake '*' key"
|
|
in all replies.
|
|
- Update configure.ng: ngIRCd requires GNU autoconf 2.61 for generating its
|
|
build system, so update the build system accordingly and implement all
|
|
changes that autoupdate(1) suggests: Update AC_PREREQ and AC_INIT, use
|
|
AC_LINK_IFELSE, AC_RUN_IFELSE, and AC_COMPILE_IFELSE, and remove
|
|
AC_TYPE_SIGNAL (we don't use RETSIGTYPE).
|
|
- portabtest: Actually test the functions snprintf(), strlcpy(), strlcat(),
|
|
and vsnprintf() for correctness, not only existence (which was quite
|
|
useless, because if they weren't available, the program could not have
|
|
been linked at all ...).
|
|
- Implement new configuration option "Network": it is used to set the
|
|
(completely optional) "network name", to which this instance of the
|
|
daemon belongs. When set, this name is used in the ISUPPORT(005) numeric
|
|
which is sent to all clients connecting to the server after logging in.
|
|
- Update doc/Platforms.txt.
|
|
- Various code cleanups, remove unused code, streamline error handling.
|
|
Remove all imp.h and exp.h header files, support non-standard vsnprintf()
|
|
return codes, and fix some K&R C portability issues. Streamline
|
|
DEBUG_ARRAY, DEBUG_BUFFER, DEBUG_IO, DEBUG_ZIP definitions.
|
|
- Increase penalty time to 10 seconds when handling OPER commands with an
|
|
invalid password.
|
|
|
|
ngIRCd 21.1 (2014-03-25)
|
|
|
|
- Don't ignore but use the server password when PAM is compiled in but
|
|
disabled. Thanks to Roy Sindre Norangshol <roy.sindre@norangshol.no>!
|
|
- doc/Platforms.txt: Update from master branch.
|
|
- Really kill connections that send "spoofed prefixes" on non-server links.
|
|
This fixes commit 6cbe1308 which only killed the connection when the
|
|
spoofed prefix itself belonged to a non-server client.
|
|
- CHARCONV command: Fix handling conversion errors, don't overwrite already
|
|
converted text!
|
|
- doc/Services.txt: Update information for Anope 2.x.
|
|
- Correctly use cloaked IRC masks on "INVITE nickname": The cloaked IRC mask
|
|
of a user is his visible mask, so the daemon has to use it for generating
|
|
the "one time" entries for the invite list of the given channel, and not
|
|
the "real" mask which will never match while the target client is "+x", and
|
|
even worse, will disclose the real mask on "MODE #channel +I" commands :-/
|
|
Bug reported by Cahata on #ngircd, thanks!
|
|
- configure: Only link "contrib/Debian" if it exists. This isn't the case on
|
|
"VPATH builds", for example.
|
|
- Use $(MKDIR_P) instead of $(mkinstalldirs) in Makefile's and test for
|
|
"mkdir -p" using AC_PROG_MKDIR_P in "configure".
|
|
- Fix configure script and "make check" for TCP Wrappers (problems spotted on
|
|
OpenBSD): add missing #include's and static variables, and add libwrap at
|
|
the end of the configure run because if libwrap becomes added earlier,
|
|
other tests may fail.
|
|
- configure: add support for the LDFLAGS_END and LIBS_END variables to add
|
|
linker flags and libraries at the end of the configure run (CFLAGS_END has
|
|
been implemented already).
|
|
- platformtest.sh and Makefile.am: Don't use "test -e", it isn't portable.
|
|
- Update Copyright notices for 2014 :-)
|
|
- Fix permanent {G|K}LINES (with a timeout of 0 seconds).
|
|
- WEBIRC: Don't set the hostname received by the WEBIRC command when DNS
|
|
lookups are disabled, but use the IP address instead.
|
|
Reported by Toni Spets <toni.spets@iki.fi>, thanks!
|
|
- Check for working getaddrinfo() function: At least AIX 4.3.3 and 5.1 have a
|
|
broken implementation of getaddrinfo() which doesn't handle "0" as numeric
|
|
service correctly. This patch adds a configure check for this case and
|
|
changes all calling functions to only use getaddrinfo() if it "works".
|
|
See <http://www.stacken.kth.se/lists/heimdal-discuss/2004-05/msg00059.html>
|
|
- Only use the unsetenv() function when it is available (AIX 4.3 doesn't
|
|
support it, for example).
|
|
- Make sure that the source code is still compatible with the "ansi2knr" tool
|
|
and builds using non-ANSI K&R C compilers. Tested with Apple C on A/UX.
|
|
- Fix building ngIRCd without support for ZLIB compression. Reported by
|
|
"der_baer" on #ngircd, thanks!
|
|
|
|
ngIRCd 21 (2013-10-30)
|
|
|
|
- ./contrib/Debian/ngircd.init: Make sure no stale PID file is left over
|
|
when (re-)starting ngIRCd.
|
|
- Change ./contrib/platformtest.sh and update ./doc/Platforms.txt to
|
|
allow user names up to 8 characters.
|
|
- Call arc4random_stir() in forked subprocesses, when available. This
|
|
is required by FreeBSD <10 and current NetBSD at least to correctly
|
|
initialize the "arc4" random number generator on these platforms.
|
|
- Update our own Debian package configuration and fix the default path
|
|
of the "HelpFile" of the "full" package variants.
|
|
|
|
ngIRCd 21~rc2 (2013-10-20)
|
|
- Report the correct configuration file name on configuration errors,
|
|
support longer configuration lines, and warn when lines are truncated.
|
|
- Use arc4random() function to generate "random" numbers, when available.
|
|
- platformtest.sh: Detect clang compiler, and clean up GIT source tree
|
|
before building (when possible).
|
|
- Update (date of) manual pages.
|
|
- Update "Upgrade Information" in INSTALL file, add more systems to
|
|
doc/Platforms.txt, and fix spelling in NEWS and ChangeLog files =:)
|
|
- Fix remaining compiler warnings on OpenBSD.
|
|
|
|
ngIRCd 21~rc1 (2013-10-05)
|
|
- Actually KILL clients on GLINE/KLINE. (Closes bug #156)
|
|
- Adjust log messages for invalid and spoofed prefixes, which cleans up
|
|
logging of commands related to already KILL'ed clients. And don't
|
|
forward KILL commands for (already) unknown clients any more to prevent
|
|
unnecessary duplicates.
|
|
- Add support to show all user links using the "STATS L" (uppercase)
|
|
command (restricted to IRC Operators).
|
|
- Fixed blocking of server reconnects in some error configurations.
|
|
- Don't ignore SSL-related errors during startup any more: abort startup
|
|
when SSL is requested by the configuration but can't be initialized and
|
|
don't continue only listening on plain text communication ports.
|
|
(Closes bug #163)
|
|
- Implement configurable SSL cipher list selection for GnuTLS and OpenSSL
|
|
using the new configuration option "CipherList". In addition, this
|
|
changes the defaults to more secure values: "HIGH:!aNULL:@STRENGTH" for
|
|
OpenSSL, and "SECURE128" for GnuTLS.
|
|
- Fix "TRACE": Correctly return ERR_NEEDMOREPARAMS(461) (which basically
|
|
is "syntax error") when there are too many parameters.
|
|
- Clean up lots of permission and parameter checks in functions handling
|
|
IRC commands; and more consistently add penalty times on errors.
|
|
- Fix error numeric of WHOIS when no nick name has been provided:
|
|
as per RFC it should be ERR_NONICKNAMEGIVEN(431).
|
|
- Only log "IDENT ... no result" messages when an IDENT looked took place
|
|
and didn't return any data, not when IDENT has been disabled.
|
|
- Show connection flag "s" (SSL) in RPL_TRACE{LINK|SERVER} messages: now
|
|
you can check if a server-to-server link is SSL-encrypted or not using
|
|
the IRC "TRACE" command.
|
|
- Correctly discard supplementary groups on server startup.
|
|
- Save client IP address text for "WebIRC" users and correctly display
|
|
it on WHOIS, for example. (Closes bug #159)
|
|
- Implement the new configuration option "DefaultUserModes" which lists
|
|
user modes that become automatically set on new local clients right
|
|
after login. Please note that only modes can be set that the client
|
|
could set on itself, so you can't set "a" (away) or "o" (IRC Op),
|
|
for example! User modes "i" (invisible) or "x" (cloaked) etc. are
|
|
"interesting", though. (Closes bug #160)
|
|
- Add support for the new METADATA "account" property, which allows
|
|
services to automatically identify users after netsplits and across
|
|
service restarts.
|
|
- Enforce "penalty times" on error conditions more consistently and in
|
|
more places. Now most error codes sent back from the IRC server to the
|
|
client should result in a 2 second "penalty".
|
|
- Implement a new configuration option "AllowedChannelTypes" that lists
|
|
all allowed channel types (channel prefixes) for newly created channels
|
|
on the local server. By default, all supported channel types are allowed.
|
|
If set to the empty string, local clients can't create new channels at
|
|
all, which equals the old "PredefChannelsOnly = yes" setting.
|
|
This change deprecates the "PredefChannelsOnly" variable, too, but it is
|
|
still supported and translated to the appropriate "AllowedChannelTypes"
|
|
setting. When the old "PredefChannelsOnly" variable is processed, a
|
|
warning message is logged. (Closes bug #152)
|
|
- Add support for "client certificate fingerprinting". When a client
|
|
passes an SSL certificate to the server, the "fingerprint" will be
|
|
forwarded in the network which enables IRC services to identify the
|
|
user using this certificate and not using passwords.
|
|
- IRC Operator names, as defined in ngircd.conf, are logged now when
|
|
handling successful OPER commands.
|
|
- Some error conditions while handling IRC commands, like "permission
|
|
denied" or "need more parameters", result in more penalty times.
|
|
- The numeric replies of some commands became split too early which
|
|
resulted in more numeric reply lines than necessary.
|
|
- 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)
|
|
- Fix use-after-free in the Lists_CheckReason() function, which is used
|
|
to check if a client is a member of a particular ban/invite/... list.
|
|
- Xcode: fix detection of host OS, vendor, and CPU type, and update
|
|
project settings for Xcode 5.
|
|
- OS X PackageMaker: use relative path names in project files and package
|
|
with correct file permissions (requires root privileges on "make").
|
|
- Add Travis-CI configuration file (".travis.yml") to project.
|
|
- Look for possible cloaked Masks in Lists. Users with +x user mode can
|
|
be banned with their cloaked hostname now.
|
|
- Don't read SSL client data before DNS resolver is finished which could
|
|
have resulted in discarding the resolved client hostname and IDENT
|
|
reply afterwards, because in some situations (timing dependent) the
|
|
NICK and USER commands could have already been read in from the client,
|
|
stored in the buffer, and been processed.
|
|
Thanks to Julian Brost for reporting the issue and testing, and to
|
|
Federico G. Schwindt <fgsch@lodoss.net> for helping to debug it!
|
|
- Increase password length limit to 64 characters. (Closes bug #154)
|
|
- doc/Services.txt: Update Anope status and URL.
|
|
- Clean up Xcode project file, remove outdated files, add missing ones.
|
|
- Update Doxygen configuration file.
|
|
- configure: search for iconv_open as well as libiconv_open, because
|
|
on some installations iconv_open() is actually libiconv_open().
|
|
iconv_open() is the glibc version while libiconv_open() is the
|
|
libiconv version, now both variants are supported. (Closes bug #151)
|
|
- 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".
|
|
- contrib/README: add description for more files.
|
|
- 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 is displayed in the output.
|
|
- Exit message: use singular & plural :-)
|
|
- autogen.sh: Check for autoconf/automake wrapper scripts
|
|
- Add missing punctuation marks in log messages, adjust some severity
|
|
levels, and make SSL-related messages more readable.
|
|
- AUTHORS file: Update list of contributors.
|
|
- 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.
|
|
|
|
ngIRCd 20.3 (2013-08-23)
|
|
|
|
- Security: Fix a denial of service bug (server crash) which could happen
|
|
when the configuration option "NoticeAuth" is enabled (which is NOT the
|
|
default) and ngIRCd failed to send the "notice auth" messages to new
|
|
clients connecting to the server (CVE-2013-5580).
|
|
|
|
ngIRCd 20.2 (2013-02-15)
|
|
|
|
- Security: Fix a denial of service bug in the function handling KICK
|
|
commands that could be used by arbitrary users to crash the daemon
|
|
(CVE-2013-1747).
|
|
- WHO command: Use the currently "displayed hostname" (which can be cloaked!)
|
|
for hostname matching, not the real one. In other words: don't display all
|
|
the cloaked users on a specific real hostname!
|
|
- configure: The header file "netinet/in_systm.h" already is optional in
|
|
ngIRCd, so don't require it in the configure script. Now ngIRCd can be
|
|
built on Minix 3 again :-)
|
|
- Return better "Connection not registered as server link" errors: Now ngIRCd
|
|
returns a more specific error message for numeric ERR_NOTREGISTERED(451)
|
|
when a regular user tries to use a command that isn't allowed for users but
|
|
for servers.
|
|
- Don't report ERR_NEEDMOREPARAMS(461) when a MDOE command with more modes
|
|
than nicknames is handled, as well as for channel limit and key changes
|
|
without specifying the limit or key parameters.
|
|
This is how a lot (all?) other IRC servers behave, including ircd2.11,
|
|
InspIRCd, and ircd-seven. And because of clients (tested with Textual and
|
|
mIRC) sending bogus MODE commands like "MODE -ooo nick", end-users got the
|
|
expected result as well as correct but misleading error messages ...
|
|
- Correctly detect when SSL subsystem must be initialized and take
|
|
outgoing connections (server links!) into account, too.
|
|
- autogen.sh: Enforce serial test harness on GNU automake >=1.13. The
|
|
new parallel test harness which is enabled by default starting with
|
|
automake 1.13 isn't compatible with our test suite.
|
|
And don't use "egrep -o", instead use "sed", because it isn't portable
|
|
and not available on OpenBSD, for example.
|
|
|
|
ngIRCd 20.1 (2013-01-02)
|
|
|
|
- Allow ERROR command on server and service links only, ignore them and
|
|
add a penalty time on all other link types.
|
|
- Enforced mode setting by IRC Operators: Only check the channel user
|
|
modes of the initiator if he is joined to the channel and not an IRC
|
|
operator enforcing modes (which requires the configuration option
|
|
"OperCanUseMode" to be enabled), because trying to check channel user
|
|
modes of a non-member results in an assertion when running with debug
|
|
code or could crash the daemon otherwise. This closes bug #147, thanks
|
|
to James Kirwill <james.kirwill@bk.ru> for tracking this down!
|
|
- Fix build system to cope with spaces in path names.
|
|
- Code cleanups, mostly to fix build warnings on Cygwin.
|
|
|
|
ngIRCd 20 (2012-12-17)
|
|
|
|
- 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) authentication mechanisms that require longer user names.
|
|
Patch suggested by Brett Smith <brett@w3.org>, see
|
|
<http://arthur.barton.de/pipermail/ngircd-ml/2012-October/000579.html>.
|
|
|
|
ngIRCd 20~rc2 (2012-12-02)
|
|
- Rework cloaked hostname handling and implement the "METADATA cloakhost"
|
|
subcommand: Now ngIRCd uses two fields internally, one to store the
|
|
"real" hostname and one to save the "cloaked" hostname. 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.
|
|
- RPL_UMODEIS: send correct target name, even on server links.
|
|
- Update platformtest.sh to follow autoconf changes and only generate
|
|
the "configure" script when it is missing.
|
|
- Fix the test suite to correctly execute test scripts even when stdout
|
|
is redirected.
|
|
- Fix some compiler warnings on NetBSD and OpenBSD.
|
|
|
|
ngIRCd 20~rc1 (2012-11-11)
|
|
- Update doc/Services.txt: describe the upcoming version of Anope 1.9.8,
|
|
then including a protocol module for ngIRCd. And remove our own patches
|
|
in ./contrib/Anope because they aren't supported any more ...
|
|
- Implement new "METADATA" command which can be used by remote servers
|
|
and IRC services to update client metadata like the client info text
|
|
("real name"), user name, and hostname, and use this command to
|
|
configure an cloaked hostname (user mode "+x") on remote servers:
|
|
This prevents "double cloaking" of hostnames and even cloaked
|
|
hostnames are in sync on all servers supporting "METADATA" now.
|
|
- Fix error message when trying to join non-predefined channels and the
|
|
"PredefChannelsOnly" configuration option is set.
|
|
- Implement new IRC "SVSNICK" command to allow remote servers (and IRC
|
|
services) to change nicknames of already registered users. The SVSNICK
|
|
command itself doesn't change the nickname, but it becomes forwarded
|
|
to the server to which the user is connected to. And then this server
|
|
initiates the real nickname changing using regular NICK commands.
|
|
This allows to run mixed networks with old servers not supporting the
|
|
SVSNICK command, because SVSNICK commands for nicknames on such servers
|
|
are silently ignored and don't cause a desynchronization of the network.
|
|
- Make server reconnect time a little bit more random, so that two
|
|
servers trying to connect to each other asynchronously don't try this
|
|
in exactly the same time periods and kick each other off ...
|
|
- Don't accept connections for servers already being linked: there was a
|
|
time frame that could result in one connection overwriting the other,
|
|
e. g. the incoming connection overwriting the status of the outgoing
|
|
one. And this could lead to all kind of weirdness (even crashes!) later
|
|
on: now such incoming connections are dropped.
|
|
- New configuration option "MaxListSize" to configure the maximum number
|
|
of channels returned by a LIST command. The default is 100, as before.
|
|
- Implement user mode "b", "block messages": when a user has set mode "b",
|
|
all private messages and notices to this user are blocked if they don't
|
|
originate from a registered user, an IRC Op, server or service. The
|
|
originator gets an error numeric sent back in this case,
|
|
ERR_NONONREG_MSG (486), which is used by UnrealIRCd, too. (Closes #144)
|
|
- WHOIS: Not only show RPL_WHOISHOST_MSG to local IRC operators, but show
|
|
it to all IRC operators in the network. And don't show it to anybody if
|
|
the "more privacy" configuration option is enabled. (Closes #134)
|
|
- Test suite: make expect scripts more verbose displaying dots for each
|
|
reply of the server that it is waiting for.
|
|
- WHOIS: Implement numeric RPL_WHOISMODES_MSG (379) and show user modes in
|
|
the reply of the WHOIS command for the user himself or, if MorePrivacy
|
|
isn't set, for request initiated by an IRC operator. (Closes #129)
|
|
- Implement channel mode "V" (invite disallow): If the new channel mode
|
|
"V" is set, the INVITE command becomes invalid and all clients get the
|
|
new ERR_NOINVITE_MSG (518) reply. (Closes #143)
|
|
- KICK-protect IRC services.
|
|
- Implement channel mode "Q" and user mode "q": Both modes protect users
|
|
from channel kicks: only IRC operators and servers can kick users having
|
|
mode "q" or in channels with mode "Q". (Closes #141)
|
|
- Debian: require "telnet" or "telnet-ssl" for building and enable
|
|
CHARCONV in ngircd-full[-dbg] variants.
|
|
- Send RPL_REHASHING (382) numeric if a REHASH command was accepted.
|
|
- Fix spelling and variable names in some log messages.
|
|
- Allow users to "cloak" their hostname only when the configuration
|
|
variable "CloakHostModeX" (introduced in 19.2) is set. Otherwise, only
|
|
IRC operators, other servers, and services are allowed to set the user
|
|
mode "+x": this prevents regular users from changing their hostmask to
|
|
the name of the IRC server itself, which confused quite a few people ;-)
|
|
(Closes #133)
|
|
- New configuration option "OperChanPAutoOp": If disabled, IRC operators
|
|
don't become channel operators in persistent channels when joining.
|
|
Enabled by default, which has been the behavior of ngIRCd up to this
|
|
patch. (Closes #135)
|
|
- Allow IRC operators to see secret (+s) channels in LIST command as long
|
|
as the "MorePrivacy" configuration option isn't enabled in the
|
|
configuration file. (Closes #136)
|
|
- Enhance build system: Support new (>=1.12) and old (<=1.11) GNU automake
|
|
versions, update checks for required and optional features, enable
|
|
colored test output of automake (if available), rename configure.in to
|
|
more modern configure.ac, include .mailmap and all build-system files in
|
|
distribution archives and no longer require a GIT tree to detect the
|
|
correct version string.
|
|
- Update documentation: add doc/Contributing.txt and include version
|
|
numbers in doc/Modes.txt.
|
|
- Free all listen ports on initialization: now listen ports can be
|
|
reconfigured on runtime using a configuration reload.
|
|
- Initialize SSL when needed only, and disable SSL on errors.
|
|
- Implement new (optional) IRC+ "CHARCONV" command to set a client
|
|
character set that the server translates all messages to/from UTF-8.
|
|
This feature requires the "libiconv" library and must be enabled using
|
|
the new "--with-iconv" option of the ./configure script. See
|
|
doc/Protocol.txt for details. (Closes #109)
|
|
- Allow limited punctuation in usernames, for better PAM integration.
|
|
- Correctly re-initialize signal handlers on RESTART commands.
|
|
- Show a warning on startup if the configuration file is not a full path:
|
|
ngIRCd is a long-running process and changes its working directory to
|
|
"/" to not block mounted filesystems and the like when running as daemon
|
|
("not in the foreground"); therefore the path to the configuration file
|
|
must be relative to "/" (or the chroot() directory), which basically is
|
|
"not relative", to ensure that "kill -HUP" and the "REHASH" command work
|
|
as expected later on. (Closes #127)
|
|
- Make the "&SERVER" channel definable in a [Channel] configuration block,
|
|
which enables server operators to overwrite the built-in topic and
|
|
channel modes. (Closes #131)
|
|
- Don't limit list size of "WHO #channel" commands, because it makes no
|
|
sense to not return all the users in that channel, so I removed the
|
|
check. But if there are more than MAX_RPL_WHO(25) replies, the client
|
|
requesting the list will be "penalized" one second more, then 2 in
|
|
total. (Closes #125)
|
|
- Make ngIRCd buildable using the kqueue() IO interface on FreeBSD 4.x.
|
|
- Fix the "NoticeAuth" configuration option when using SSL connections and
|
|
enhance the message to show the hostname and IDENT reply of the client.
|
|
- Introduce numeric RPL_HOSTHIDDEN_MSG (396): This numeric is sent to the
|
|
client each time it changes its displayed hostname using "MODE +/-x",
|
|
and if "CloakHost" is set right after the MOTD has been sent.
|
|
- Fix USERHOST not displaying the correctly cloaked hostname.
|
|
- Implement user mode "B" ("Bot flag"): it is settable and unsettable by
|
|
every (non-restricted) client. This is how Unreal and InspIRCd do
|
|
behave, and so do we :-)
|
|
- Dynamically allocate memory for connection passwords: This a) saves
|
|
memory for clients not using passwords at all and b) allows for
|
|
"arbitrarily" long passwords.
|
|
- Implement channel mode "M": Only the server, identified users and IRC
|
|
operators are able to talk in such a channel.
|
|
- Block nicknames that are reserved for services and are defined using the
|
|
configuration variable "ServiceMask" in "Server" blocks; And this
|
|
variable now can handle more than one mask separated by commas.
|
|
- Now "make uninstall" removes the installed "ngircd.conf" file, if it is
|
|
still equal to our "sample-ngircd.conf" file and therefore hasn't been
|
|
modified by the user. If it has been modified, it isn't removed and a
|
|
notice is displayed to the user. And "make install" now displays a
|
|
message when no ngircd.conf file exists and the "sample-ngircd.conf"
|
|
file will be installed as a starting point.
|
|
- Add contrib/ngircd.service, a systemd service file for ngircd.
|
|
- Implemented XOP channel user modes: "Half Op" ("+h", prefix "%") can set
|
|
the channel modes +imntvIbek and kick all +v and normal users; "Admin"
|
|
("+a", prefix "&") can set channel modes +imntvIbekoRsz and kick all +o,
|
|
+h, +v and normal users; and "Owner" ("+q", prefix "~") can set channel
|
|
modes +imntvIbekoRsz and kick all +a, +o, +h, +v and normal users.
|
|
- Implement hashed cloaked hostnames for both the "CloakHost" and
|
|
"CloakHostModeX" configuration options: now the admin can use the new
|
|
'%x' placeholder to insert a hashed version of the clients hostname,
|
|
and the new configuration option "CloakHostSalt" defines the salt for
|
|
the hash function. When "CloakHostSalt" is not set (the default), a
|
|
random salt will be generated after each server restart. (Closes #133)
|
|
|
|
ngIRCd 19.2 (2012-06-19)
|
|
|
|
- doc/Capabilities.txt: document "multi-prefix" capability
|
|
|
|
ngIRCd 19.2~rc1 (2012-06-13)
|
|
- New configuration option "CloakHostModeX" to configure the hostname
|
|
that gets used for IRC clients which have user mode "+x" enabled.
|
|
Up to now, the name of the IRC server itself has been used for this,
|
|
which still is the default when "CloakHostModeX" isn't set.
|
|
- Correctly handle asynchronously re-established server links: a race
|
|
condition could let the daemon loose track of an already re-established
|
|
incoming server link while preparing its own outgoing connection.
|
|
Peers that both try to connect each other could have been affected.
|
|
- Log a debug message when SIGUSR2 is handled in debug mode.
|
|
- Only allow alphanumeric characters in user-supplied user names of
|
|
USER command and IDENT replies.
|
|
- Change wording of "TLS initialized" message to make it more consistent.
|
|
- Don't leak file descriptors on error path when creating "PID files".
|
|
- Add missing mode "r" to CHANMODES in 005 "ISUPPORT" numeric.
|
|
- Update doc/Modes.txt and doc/Platforms.txt documents.
|
|
- contrib/platformtest.sh: correctly detect Open64 C compiler and handle
|
|
"CC=xxx MAKE=yyy ./platformtest.sh" calling convention.
|
|
- Add instructions for setting up Atheme IRC services.
|
|
- Implement support for IRC capability handling, the new "CAP" command,
|
|
and capability "multi-prefix" which allows both the NAME and WHO command
|
|
handlers to return more than one "class prefix" to the client.
|
|
- Update Xcode project files: reference missing documentation files.
|
|
- Fix: Don't ignore "permission denied" errors when enabling chroot.
|
|
- FAQ: enhance description of chroot setup.
|
|
|
|
ngIRCd 19.1 (2012-03-19)
|
|
|
|
- Fix gcc warning (v4.6.3), initialize "list" variable to NULL.
|
|
- Fix typos: "recieved" -> "received", "Please not" -> "Please note",
|
|
and fix lintian(1) warning ""hyphen-used-as-minus-sign", too.
|
|
- Really include _all_ patches to build the Anope module into the
|
|
distribution archive ... ooops!
|
|
- getpid.sh: Fix test case error for Debian using sbuild(1).
|
|
- Don't log "ngIRCd hello message" two times when starting up.
|
|
|
|
ngIRCd 19 (2012-02-29)
|
|
|
|
- Update build system: bump config.guess and config.sub files used by
|
|
GNU autoconf/automake to recent versions.
|
|
- Fix configuration file parser: don't accept "[SSL]" blocks in the
|
|
configuration file when no SSL support is built in ngIRCd.
|
|
- Fix building ngIRCd with old gcc versions (e. g. 2.7.2).
|
|
- Correctly re-open syslog logging after reading of configuration
|
|
file: Syslog logging has been initialized before reading the
|
|
configuration, so ngIRCd always used the default facility and ignored
|
|
the "SyslogFacility" configuration option ...
|
|
Thanks to Patrik Schindler for reporting this issue!
|
|
|
|
ngIRCd 19~rc1 (2012-02-12)
|
|
- Enhance command limits for server links: the limit now is dependent
|
|
on the number of users connected in the network and higher while
|
|
servers are joining the network to make the login of servers faster.
|
|
- Log more information about server synchronization.
|
|
- Update preliminary ngIRCd protocol module for Anope 1.9.6, which now
|
|
is the only supported version.
|
|
- New numeric RPL_WHOISHOST_MSG(378), which returns the DNS host name
|
|
(if available) and the IP address of a client in the WHOIS reply.
|
|
Only the user itself and local IRC operators get this numeric.
|
|
- Implement channel exception list (mode 'e'). This allows a channel
|
|
operator to define exception masks that allow users to join the
|
|
channel even when a "ban" would match and prevent them from joining:
|
|
the exception list (e) overrides the ban list (b).
|
|
- PRIVMSG and NOTICE: Handle nick!user@host masks case-insensitive.
|
|
- Implement user mode 'C': If the target user of a PRIVMSG or NOTICE
|
|
command has the user mode 'C' set, it is required that both sender
|
|
and receiver are on the same channel. This prevents private flooding
|
|
by completely unknown clients.
|
|
- New RPL_WHOISREGNICK_MSG(307) numeric in WHOIS command replies: it
|
|
indicates if a nickname is registered (if user mode 'R' set).
|
|
- Limit channel invite, ban, and exception lists to 50 entries and fix
|
|
duplicate check and error messages when adding already listed entries
|
|
or deleting no (longer) existing ones.
|
|
- Fix both ERR_SUMMONDISABLED(445) and ERR_USERSDISABLED(446) replies.
|
|
- MODE command: correctly return ERR_UNKNOWNMODE(472) numeric for
|
|
unknown channel modes, instead of ERR_UMODEUNKNOWNFLAG(501).
|
|
- ISUPPORT(005) numeric: add "O", "R", and "z" modes to "CHANMODES",
|
|
add "EXCEPTS=e" and "INVEX=I", add "MAXLIST=beI:50".
|
|
- Limit the number of list items in the reply of LIST (100), WHO (25),
|
|
WHOIS (10), and WHOWAS (25) commands.
|
|
- LIST command: compare pattern case insensitive.
|
|
- Limit the MODE command to handle a maximum number of 5 channel modes
|
|
that require an argument (+Ibkl) per call and report this number
|
|
in the ISUPPORT(005) numeric: "MODES=5".
|
|
- Fix handling of channel mode sequence with/without arguments.
|
|
For example, don't generate wrong error messages when handling
|
|
"MODE #chan +IIIIItn *!aa@b *!bb@c *!cc@d *!dd@e *!ee@f".
|
|
- When sending data on a connection, only try to get the type of
|
|
the client if there still is one assigned. This could trigger an
|
|
assertion and end the daemon in some error paths.
|
|
- Don't try to close already closed/invalid sockets to forked child
|
|
processes. This could potentially crash the daemon in some cases
|
|
with IDENT lookups enabled.
|
|
- WHOIS command: make sure that the reply ends with RPL_ENDOFWHOIS,
|
|
don't answer queries for IRC servers, make sure mask matching is
|
|
case-insensitive, and that RPL_ENDOFWHOIS numeric is sent with the
|
|
unmodified mask (like it has been received from the client).
|
|
- LINKS command: support <mask> parameter to limit the reply.
|
|
- Add 1 second penalty for every further target on PRIVMSG/NOTICE
|
|
commands: this reduces the possibility of flooding channels with
|
|
commands like "PRIVMSG/NOTICE #a,#n,#c,... :message" a little bit.
|
|
Problem noticed by Cahata, thanks!
|
|
- Display correct error message when "Server{UID|GID}" variable in the
|
|
configuration file is invalid (not a number and no existing user).
|
|
- Update Copyright notices for 2012 :-)
|
|
- JOIN command: don't stop handling of channel lists when a single
|
|
channel cannot be joined (because of bad name, wrong key or channel
|
|
limit reached), but report an error and continue. And don't check
|
|
the channel limit and don't report with "too many channels" when
|
|
trying to join a channel that the client already is a member of.
|
|
- ISON command: reply with the correct upper-/lowercase nicknames.
|
|
- 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.
|
|
If you use "*!<user>@<host>" or "*!*@<host>" masks, these connections
|
|
are blocked even before the user is fully logged in (before PASS,
|
|
NICK, and USER commands have been processed) and before the child
|
|
processes for authentication are forked, so resource usage is smaller.
|
|
- 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 host name = "localhost.localdomain" using the
|
|
pattern "localhost*" for valid local host names.
|
|
- 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 nickname 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 "nickname"
|
|
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 18 (2011-07-10)
|
|
|
|
- Update timestamp of ngircd(8) manual page.
|
|
- Add preliminary ngIRCd protocol module for Anope 1.9 to contrib/Anope/.
|
|
- Don't register WHOWAS information when "MorePrivacy" option is in effect.
|
|
|
|
ngIRCd 18~rc2 (2011-06-29)
|
|
- Update documentation, fix some wording, and use a spellchecker :-)
|
|
- ngircd.conf.5: strip "SSL" prefix from variables in [SSL] section.
|
|
- ngircd.8: document debugging options.
|
|
- GnuTLS: use 1024 bits as minimum size of the DH prime. This enables
|
|
ngIRCd to accept incoming connections from other servers and clients
|
|
that "only" use at least 1024 bits again, like ngIRCd 17 did (and no
|
|
longer requires 2048 bits for incoming connections).
|
|
|
|
ngIRCd 18~rc1 (2011-06-27)
|
|
- PAM warning message: make clear which "Password" config option is ignored.
|
|
- New configuration option "MorePrivacy" to "censor" some user information.
|
|
When enabled, signon time and idle time is left out. Part and quit
|
|
messages are made to look the same. WHOWAS requests are silently dropped.
|
|
All of this is useful if one wish to conceal users that access the ngircd
|
|
servers from TOR or I2P.
|
|
- New configuration option "ScrubCTCP" to scrub incoming CTCP commands. If
|
|
activated, the server silently drops incoming CTCP requests from both
|
|
other servers and from users. The server that scrubs CTCP will not forward
|
|
the CTCP requests to other servers in the network either, which can spell
|
|
trouble if not every oper knows about the CTCP-scrubbing. Scrubbing CTCP
|
|
commands also means that it is not possible to send files between users.
|
|
There is one exception to the CTCP scrubbing performed: ACTION ("/me
|
|
commands") requests are not scrubbed.
|
|
- Display configuration errors more prominent on "--configtest".
|
|
- Restructure ngIRCd configuration file: introduce new [Limits], [Options],
|
|
and [SSL] sections. The intention of this restructuring is to make the
|
|
[Global] section much cleaner, so that it only contains variables that
|
|
most installations must adjust to the local requirements. All the optional
|
|
variables are moved to [Limits], for configurable limits and timers of
|
|
ngIRCd, and [Options], for optional features. All SSL-related variables
|
|
are moved to [SSL] and the "SSL"-prefix is stripped. The old variables in
|
|
the [Global] section are deprecated now, but are still recognized.
|
|
=> Don't forget to check your configuration, use "ngircd --configtest"!
|
|
- New documentation "how to contribute": doc/Contributing.txt.
|
|
- Slightly fix error handling when connecting to remote servers.
|
|
- GnuTLS: bump DH-bitsize to 2048: this solves the problem that some clients
|
|
refuse to connect to severs that only offer 1024. For interoperability it
|
|
would be best to just use 4096 bits, but that takes minutes, even on
|
|
current hardware ...
|
|
- contrib/platformtest.sh: fix gcc version detection.
|
|
- Avoid needlessly scary 'buffer overflow' messages: When the write buffer
|
|
space grows too large, ngIRCd has to disconnect the client to avoid
|
|
wasting too much memory, which is logged with a scary 'write buffer
|
|
overflow' message. Change this to a more descriptive wording.
|
|
- Require server prefixes for most commands on RFC2812 links. RFC1459 links
|
|
(often used by services, for example) are not affected.
|
|
- Mac OS X: update installer functionality, texts, and add our logo :-)
|
|
- New configuration option "RequireAuthPing": PING-PONG on login. When
|
|
enabled, this configuration option lets ngIRCd send a PING with an numeric
|
|
"token" to clients logging in; and it will not become registered in the
|
|
network until the client responds with the correct PONG.
|
|
- New configuration option "NoticeAuth": send NOTICE AUTH on connect. When
|
|
active, ngircd will send "NOTICE AUTH" messages on client connect time
|
|
like e.g. snircd (QuakeNet) does.
|
|
- Generate WALLOPS message on SQUIT from IRC operators; so SQUIT now behaves
|
|
like CONNECT and DISCONNECT commands, when called by an IRC operator.
|
|
- Allow servers to send more commands in the first 10 seconds ("burst"). This
|
|
helps to speed up server login and network synchronization.
|
|
- Add support for up to 3 targets in WHOIS queries, also allow up to one
|
|
wildcard query from local hosts. Follows ircd 2.10 implementation rather
|
|
than RFC 2812. At most 10 entries are returned per wildcard expansion.
|
|
- ngircd.conf(5) manual page: describe types of configuration variables
|
|
(booleans, text strings, integer numbers) and add type information to each
|
|
variable description.
|
|
- Don't use "the.net" in sample-ngircd.conf, use "example.net".
|
|
- Terminate incoming connections on HTTP commands "GET" and "POST".
|
|
- New configuration option "CloakHost": when set, this host name is used for
|
|
every client instead of the real DNS host name (or IP address).
|
|
- New configuration option "CloakUserToNick": when enabled, ngIRCd sets
|
|
every clients' user name to their nickname and hides the user name
|
|
supplied by the IRC client.
|
|
- doc/Protocol.txt: Update description of the CHANINFO and WEBIRC commands.
|
|
- Doxygen'ify (document) much more source files; code cleanup ...
|
|
- Make write buffers bigger, but flush early. Before this change, a client
|
|
got disconnected if the buffer flushing at 4k failed, now regular clients
|
|
can store up to 32k and servers up 64k even if flushing is not possible at
|
|
the moment. This enhances reliability on slow links.
|
|
- Don't access possibly free'd CLIENT structure. Ooops.
|
|
- Allow "Port = 0" in [Server] blocks. Port number 0 marks remote servers
|
|
that try to connect to this daemon, but where this daemon never tries to
|
|
establish a connection on its own: only incoming connections are allowed.
|
|
- Configuration: fix 'Value of "..." is not a number!' for negative values.
|
|
- Enable WHOIS command to return information about services.
|
|
- Implement channel mode 'O': "IRC operators only". This channel mode is
|
|
used on DALnet (bahamut), for example.
|
|
- Remove support for ZeroConf/Bonjour/Rendezvous service registration
|
|
including the "[No]ZeroConf" configuration option.
|
|
- TOPIC command: test for channel admin rights correctly: this enables other
|
|
servers, services and IRC operators to change channel topics, even when
|
|
the client is not joined to this channel.
|
|
- Deprecate NoXX-Options in ngircd.conf and move new variants into our new
|
|
[Options] section: 'NoDNS=no' => 'DNS=yes', 'NoIdent=no' => 'Ident=yes',
|
|
'NoPAM=no' => 'PAM=yes', and 'NoZeroConf=no' => 'ZeroConf=yes' (and
|
|
vice-versa). The defaults are adjusted accordingly and the old variables
|
|
in [Global] are still accepted, so there is no functional change.
|
|
- Fix confusing "adding to invite list" debug messages: adding entries to
|
|
ban list produced 'invite list' debug output ...
|
|
- Don't throttle services and servers being registered.
|
|
- Xcode: correctly sort files :-)
|
|
- Don't assert() when searching a client for an invalid server token (this is
|
|
only relevant when a trusted server on a server-server link sends invalid
|
|
commands).
|
|
|
|
ngIRCd 17.1 (2010-12-19)
|
|
|
|
- --configtest: remember if MOTD is configured by file or phrase
|
|
- Enhance log messages when establishing server links a little bit
|
|
- Reset ID of outgoing server link on DNS error correctly
|
|
- Don't log critical (or worse) messages to stderr

|
|
- Remove "error file" when compiled with debug code enabled
|
|
- README: Updated list of implemented commands
|
|
- add doc/README-Interix.txt and doc/Bopm.txt to distribution tarball
|
|
- Merge branch 'numeric-329'
|
|
- add doc/PAM.txt to distribution tarball
|
|
- New numeric 329: get channel creation time on "MODE #chan" commands
|
|
- Save channel creation time; new function Channel_CreationTime()
|
|
|
|
ngIRCd 17 (2010-11-07)
|
|
|
|
- doc: change path names in sample-ngircd.conf depending on sysconfdir
|
|
- Fix up generation and distribution of sample-ngircd.conf
|
|
- contrib/ngircd-redhat.init: updated email address of Naoya Nakazawa
|
|
- contrib/platformtest.sh: make command name quoting consistent
|
|
|
|
ngIRCd 17~rc3 (2010-10-27)
|
|
- Xcode builds: detect version number correctly, updated project file
|
|
to use the Mac OS X 10.5.x SDK, disable pam_fail_delay() because it
|
|
is only available starting with Mac OS X 10.6, and generate a default
|
|
PAM configuration for the Mac OS X Installer.app package of ngIRCd.
|
|
- Debian: updated standards version to 3.9.1, added libpam0g-dev to the
|
|
dependencies, and install a default /etc/pam.d/ngircd allowing all logins.
|
|
- Make contrib/platformtest.sh more portable.
|
|
- Fix connect attempts to further IP addresses of outgoing server links.
|
|
|
|
ngIRCd 17~rc2 (2010-10-25)
|
|
- ZeroConf: include header files missing since commit a988bbc86a.
|
|
- Generate ngIRCd version number from GIT tag.
|
|
- Make source code compatible with ansi2knr again. This allows to compile
|
|
ngIRCd using a pre-ANSI K&R C compiler again.
|
|
- ./configure: check if C compiler can compile ISO Standard C.
|
|
- ./configure: check support for C prototypes again.
|
|
- Don't use PARAMS() macro for function implementations.
|
|
- Added m68k/apple/aux3.0.1 (gcc 2.7.2) to doc/Platforms.txt.
|
|
- Only try to set FD_CLOEXEC if this flag is defined.
|
|
- Only use "__attribute__ ((unused))" if GCC >=2.8 is used.
|
|
- doc/Makefile.am: don't set docdir, automake handles it already.
|
|
|
|
ngIRCd 17~rc1 (2010-10-11)
|
|
- New configuration option "NoZeroConf" to disable service registration at
|
|
runtime even if ngIRCd is compiled with support for ZeroConf (e.g. using
|
|
Howl, Avahi or on Mac OS X).
|
|
- New configuration option "SyslogFacility" to define the syslog "facility"
|
|
(the "target"), to which ngIRCd should send its log messages.
|
|
Possible values are system dependent, but most probably "auth", "daemon",
|
|
"user" and "local1" through "local7" are possible values; see syslog(3).
|
|
Default is "local5" for historical reasons.
|
|
- Dump the "internal server state" (configured servers, established
|
|
connections and known clients) to the console or syslog when receiving
|
|
the SIGUSR2 signal and debug mode is enabled.
|
|
- Enable the daemon to disable and enable "debug mode" on runtime using
|
|
signal SIGUSR1, when debug code is compiled in, not only on startup
|
|
using the command line parameters.
|
|
- Signal handler: added new 'delayed' signal handlers, including fallback
|
|
to deprecated sysv API. And removed global NGIRCd_SignalRehash variable.
|
|
- IO: add io_cloexec() to set close-on-exec flag.
|
|
- ng_ipaddr.h: include required assert.h header.
|
|
- Conn_SyncServerStruct(): test all connections; and work case insensitive
|
|
- configure script: correctly indent IPv6 yes/no summary output.
|
|
- Don't reset My_Connections[Idx].lastping when reading data, so the
|
|
client lag debug-output is working again.
|
|
- Implement user mode "x": host name cloaking (closes: #102).
|
|
- Make configure switch "--docdir" work (closes: #108).
|
|
- Reformat and update FAQ.txt a little bit.
|
|
- INSTALL: mention SSL, IPv6, and changed handling of MotdFile.
|
|
- Change MOTD file handling: ngIRCd now caches the contents of the MOTD
|
|
file, so the daemon now requires a HUP signal or REHASH command to
|
|
re-read the MOTD file when its content changed.
|
|
- Startup: open /dev/null before chroot'ing the daemon.
|
|
- Allow IRC ops to change channel modes even without OperServerMode set.
|
|
- Allow IRC operators to use MODE command on any channel (closes: #100).
|
|
- Added mailmap file for git-[short]log and git-blame.
|
|
- Authenticated users should be registered without the "~" mark.
|
|
- Set NoPAM=yes in configuration files used for the testsuite.
|
|
- New configuration option "NoPAM" to disable PAM.
|
|
- Implement asynchronous user authentication using PAM, please see the
|
|
file doc/PAM.txt for details.
|
|
- Resolver: Implement signal handler and catch TERM signals.
|
|
- Don't set a penalty time when doing DNS lookups.
|
|
- Add some documentation for using BOPM with ngIRCd, see doc/Bopm.txt.
|
|
- Implement user mode "c": receive connect/disconnect NOTICEs. Note that
|
|
this new mode requires the user to be an IRC operator.
|
|
- ngircd.init: require "$network" and "$remote_fs" when stopping ngircd.
|
|
- Show SSL status in WHOIS output, numeric 275.
|
|
- Include correct header files when testing for arpa/inet.h (Closes: #105).
|
|
- Don't access already freed memory in IRC_KILL().
|
|
- Fix "beeing" typo ...
|
|
- SSL/TLS: fix bogus "socket closed" error message.
|
|
|
|
ngIRCd 16 (2010-05-02)

|
- Updated some more copyright notices, it's 2010 already :-)
|
|
- Only compile in Get_Error() if really needed
|
|
- Fix gcc warning "ignoring return value of ..."
|
|

|
|
- Updated doc/Platforms.txt
|
|
- Enhance connection statistics counters: display total number of served
|
|
connections on daemon shutdown and when a new client connects using
|
|
the new numeric RPL_STATSCONN (250).
|
|
|
|
ngIRCd 16~rc1 (2010-03-25)
|
|
- Various fixes to the build system and code cleanups.
|
|
- contrib/platformtest.sh: Only show latest commit.
|
|
- Updated doc/Platforms.txt, added new README-Interix.txt documenting
|
|
how to tun ngIRCd on Microsoft Services for UNIX (MS SFU, MS SUA).
|
|
- Updated links to the ngIRCd homepage (bug tracker, mailing list).
|
|
- Added missing modes to USERMODES #define
|
|
- Show our name (IRCD=ngIRCd) in ISUPPORT (005) numeric
|
|
- Quote received messages of ERROR commands in log output.
|
|
- ngircd.conf manual page: document missing "Password" variable.
|
|
- Implement WEBIRC command used by some Web-IRC frontends. The password
|
|
required to secure this command must be configured using the new
|
|
"WebircPassword" variable in the ngircd.conf file.
|
|
- Don't use port 6668 as example for both "Ports" and "SSLPorts".
|
|
- Remove limit on max number of configured irc operators.
|
|
- Only link "nsl" library when really needed.
|
|
- A new channel mode "secure connections only" (+z) has been implemented:
|
|
Only clients using a SSL encrypted connection to the server are allowed
|
|
to join such a channel.
|
|
But please note three things: a) already joined clients are not checked
|
|
when setting this mode, b) IRC operators are always allowed to join
|
|
every channel, and c) remote clients using a server not supporting this
|
|
mode are not checked either and therefore always allowed to join.
|
|
|
|
ngIRCd 15 (2009-11-07)
|
|
|
|
- "ngircd --configtest": print SSL configuration options even when unset.
|
|
|
|
ngIRCd 15~rc1 (2009-10-15)
|
|
- Do not add default listening port (6667) if SSL ports were specified, so
|
|
ngIRCd can be configured to only accept SSL-encrypted connections now.
|
|
- Enable IRC operators to use the IRC command SQUIT (instead of the already
|
|
implemented but non-standard DISCONNECT command).
|
|
- New configuration option "AllowRemoteOper" (disabled by default) that
|
|
enables remote IRC operators to use the IRC commands SQUIT and CONNECT
|
|
on the local server.
|
|
- Mac OS X: fix test for packagemaker(1) tool in Makefile and use gcc 4.0
|
|
for Mac OS X 10.4 compatibility in the Xcode project file.

|
|
to ease generating platform reports.
|
|
- Fix connection information for already registered connections.
|
|
- Enforce upper limit on maximum number of handled commands. This implements
|
|
a throttling scheme: an IRC client can send up to 3 commands or 256 bytes
|
|
per second before a one second pause is enforced.
|
|
- Fix connection counter.
|
|
- Fix a few error handling glitches for SSL/TLS connections.
|
|

|
|
- Spell check and enhance ngIRCd manual pages.
|
|
- Channel mode changes: break on syntax errors in MODE command.
|
|
- Support individual channel keys for pre-defined channels: introduce
|
|
new configuration variable "KeyFile" in [Channel] sections in ngircd.conf,
|
|
here a file can be configured for each pre-defined channel which contains
|
|
individual channel keys for different users.
|
|
- Remove limit on maximum number of predefined channels in ngircd.conf.
|
|

|
(closes bug #93, reported by Gonosz Csiga)
|
|
|
|
ngIRCd 13 (2008-12-25)

|
|
|
- Updated documentation, especially doc/Services.txt and doc/SSL.txt.
|
|
- Make the test suite work on OpenSolaris.
|
|
|
|
ngIRCd 13~rc1 (2008-11-21):
|
|
- New version number scheme :-)
|
|
- Initial support for IRC services, using a RFC1459 style interface,
|
|
tested with IRCServices (http://www.ircservices.za.net/) version 5.1.13.
|
|
For this to work, ngIRCd now supports server-server links conforming
|
|
to RFC 1459. New ngircd.conf(5) option: ServiceMask.
|
|
- Support for SSL-encrypted server-server and client-server links using
|
|
OpenSSL (configure: --with-openssl) or GNUTLS (configure: --with-gnutls).
|
|
New ngircd.conf(5) options: SSLPorts, SSLKeyFile, SSLKeyFilePassword,
|
|
SSLCertFile, SSLDHFile, and SSLConnect.
|
|
- Server local channels have been implemented, prefix "&", that are only
|
|
visible to users of the same server and are not visible in the network.
|
|
In addition ngIRCd creates a "special" channel &SERVER on startup and logs
|
|
all the messages to it that a user with mode +s receives.
|
|
- New make target "osxpkg" to build a Mac OS X installer package.
|
|
- Debug mode: enable support for GNU libc memory tracing (see mtrace(3)).
|
|
- SysV init script: use LSB logging functions, if available.
|
|
- Added some more FAQ entries (regarding logging and IRC operators).
|
|
- Allow IRC operators to overwrite channel limits.
|
|
- Support for enhanced PRIVMSG and NOTICE message targets.
|
|
- More tests have been added to the test-suite ("make check"), and two
|
|
servers are started for testing server-server linking.
|
|
- Added a timestamp to log messages to the console.
|
|
- New configuration option "NoIdent" to disable IDENT lookups even if the
|
|
daemon is compiled with IDENT support.
|
|
|
|
ngIRCd 0.12.1 (2008-07-09)
|
|
|
|
- Allow mixed line terminations (CR+LF/CR/LF) in non-RFC-compliant mode

|
|
obsoletes ListenIPv4 and ListenIPv6 options. If Listen is unset, it
|
|
is treated as Listen="::,0.0.0.0".
|
|
Note: ListenIPv4 and ListenIPv6 options are still recognized,
|
|
but ngircd will print a warning if they are used in the config file.
|
|
|
|
ngIRCd 0.12.0 (2008-05-13)
|
|
|
|
- Fix Bug: 85: "WHO #SecretChannel" that user is not a member of now returns
|
|
proper RPL_ENDOFWHO_MSG instead of nothing. (Ali Shemiran)
|
|
- Fix compile on FreeBSD 5.4 and AIX.
|
|
- If bind() fails, also print IP address and not just the port number.
|
|
|
|

|
|
- RPL_WHOREPLY messages generated by IRC_WHO didn't include flags (*,@,+).
|
|
(Dana Dahlstrom)
|
|
- IRC_WHO now supports search patterns and will test this against user
|
|
nickname/server name/host name, etc. as required by RFC 2812, Section 3.6.1.
|
|
(reported by Dana Dahlstrom)
|
|
- Add test cases for "WHO" command. (Dana Dahlstrom)
|
|
- Implement RFC 2812 handling of "0" argument to 'JOIN': must be treated
|
|
as if the user had sent PART commands for all channels the user is a
|
|
member of. (Dana Dahlstrom)
|
|
- Allow NOTICEs to be sent to a channel. (Fabian Schlager)
|
|
|
|
ngIRCd 0.11.1 (2008-02-26)
|
|
|
|
- Fix sending of JOIN commands between servers when remote server appended
|
|
mode flags. (Rolf Eike Beer) [from HEAD]
|
|
- Send "G" instead of "H" flag in WHO replies. (reported by Dana Dahlstrom)

|
|
|
|
ngIRCd 0.10.2 (2007-06-08)
|
|
|
|
ngIRCd 0.10.2-pre2 (2007-05-19)

|
|
(even when using epoll(), see above).
|
|
- Added support for IO APIs "poll()" and "/dev/poll".
|
|
- Reorganized internal handling of invite and ban lists.
|
|
|
|
ngIRCd 0.10.1 (2006-12-17)
|
|
|
|
- Fixed validation of server names containing digits.
|
|
- Update the "info text" of the local server after re-reading configuration.
|
|
- Changed Numerics 265 and 266 to follow ircd 2.11.x "standards".
|
|
- Allow PASS syntax defined in RFC 1459 for server links, too.
|
|
- Enhanced ISUPPORT message (005 numeric).
|
|
- New configuration option "PredefChannelsOnly": if set, clients can only
|
|
join predefined channels.
|
|
- Code cleanups: use "LogDebug(...)" instead of "Log(LOG_DEBUG, ...)", use
|
|
"strcspn()", unsigned vs. signed, use "const", fix whitespaces, ...
|
|
|
|
ngIRCd 0.10.0 (2006-10-01)
|
|
|
|
- Fixed file handle leak when daemon is not able to send MOTD to a client.
|
|
|
|
ngIRCd 0.10.0-pre2 (2006-09-09)
|
|
- Fixed build problems with GCC option -fstack-protector.
|
|
- Minor documentation updates.
|
|
|
|
ngIRCd 0.10.0-pre1 (2006-08-02)
|
|
- Validate "ServerName" (see RFC 2812, section 2.3.1).
|
|
- Enhanced DIE to accept a single parameter ("comment text") which is sent
|
|
to all locally connected clients before the server goes down.
|
|
- The ngIRCd handles time shifts backwards more gracefully now (the
|
|
timeout handling doesn't disconnect clients by mistake any more).
|
|
- Internal: Restructured connection handling (the connection ID is equal
|
|
to the file descriptor of the connection).
|
|
- Internal: Simplified resolver code.
|
|
- JOIN now supports more than one channel key at a time.
|
|
- Implemented numeric "333": Time and user name who set a channel topic.
|
|
- Enhanced the handler for PING and PONG commands: fix forwarding and enable
|
|
back-passing of a client supplied additional argument of PING.
|
|
- Changed handling of timeouts for unregistered connections: don't reset
|
|
the counter if data is received and disconnect clients earlier.
|
|
- Removed unnecessary #define of "LOCAL", now use plain C "static" instead.
|
|
- Channel topics are no longer limited to 127 characters: now the only limit
|
|
is the maximum length of an IRC command, i. e. 512 bytes (in practice, this
|
|
limits the topic to about 490 characters due to protocol overhead).
|
|
- Reverse DNS lookup code now checks the result by doing an additional
|
|
lookup to prevent spoofing.
|
|
- Added new IO layer which (optionally) supports epoll() and kqueue() in
|
|
addition to the select() interface.
|
|
|
|
ngIRCd 0.9.2 (2005-10-15)
|
|
|
|
- Fixed a bug that could cause the daemon to crash when outgoing server
|
|
connections can't be established.
|
|
- Fixed a bug that caused the daemon to leak file descriptors when no
|
|
resolver subprocesses could be created.
|
|
- Fixed server NOTICEs to users with "s" mode ("server messages").
|
|
- Fixed a format string bug in "connection statistics" messages to clients.
|
|
|
|
ngIRCd 0.9.1 (2005-08-03)
|
|
|
|
- The KILL command killed much more than desired (including server links!)
|
|
when the target user is connected to a remote server. Bug introduced in
|
|
ngIRCd 0.9.0 ... Reported by <qssl@fastmail.fm>, Thanks!
|
|
- Changed some constants to be "signed" (instead of unsigned) to solve
|
|
problems with old (pre-ANSI) compilers.
|
|
|
|
ngIRCd 0.9.0 (2005-07-24)
|
|
|
|
ngIRCd 0.9.0-pre1 (2005-07-09)
|
|
- Fixed maximum length of user names, now allow up to 9 characters.
|
|
- Cut off oversized IRC messages that should be sent to the network instead
|
|
of shutting down the (wrong) connection.
|
|
- Don't generate error messages for unknown commands received before the
|
|
client is registered with the server (like the original ircd).
|
|
- Never run with root privileges but always switch the user ID.
|
|
- Make "netsplit" messages RFC compliant.
|
|
- Fix handling of QUIT Messages: send only one message, even if the client
|
|
is member of multiple channels.
|
|
- Don't exit server if closing of a socket fails; instead ignore it and
|
|
pray that this will be "the right thing" ...
|
|
- Implemented the IRC function "WHOWAS".
|
|
- Don't enable assert() calls when not ./configure'd with --enable-debug.
|
|
- Fixed ./configure test for TCP Wrappers: now it runs on Mac OS X as well.
|
|
- Enhanced configure script: now you can pass an (optional) search path
|
|
to all --with-XXX parameters, e. g. "--with-ident=/opt/ident".
|
|
- Removed typedefs for the native C data types.
|
|
Use stdbool.h / inttypes.h if available.
|
|
- New configuration option "OperServerMode" to enable a workaround needed
|
|
when running an network with ircd2 servers and "OperCanUseMode" enabled
|
|
to prevent the ircd2 daemon to drop mode changes of IRC operators.
|
|
Patch by Florian Westphal, <westphal@foo.fh-furtwangen.de>.
|
|
- Implemented support for "secret channels" (channel mode "s").
|
|
- New configuration option "Mask" for [Operator] sections to limit OPER
|
|
commands to users with a specific IRC mask. Patch from Florian Westphal.
|
|
- Write "error file" (/tmp/ngircd-XXX.err) only if compiled with debug
|
|
code ("--enable-debug") and running as daemon process.
|
|
- Don't create version information string each time a client connects
|
|
but instead on server startup. By Florian Westphal.
|
|
- New configuration variable "PidFile", section "[Global]": if defined,
|
|
the server writes its process ID (PID) to this file. Default: off.
|
|
Idea of Florian Westphal, <westphal@foo.fh-furtwangen.de>.
|
|
- Code cleanups from Florian Westphal, <westphal@foo.fh-furtwangen.de>.
|
|
- Raised the maximum length of passwords to 20 characters.
|
|
- Fixed a memory leak when resizing the connection pool and realloc()
|
|
failed. Now we don't fall back to malloc(), which should be sane anyway.
|
|
Patch from Florian Westphal, <westphal@foo.fh-furtwangen.de>.
|
|
- Added support for the Howl (http://www.porchdogsoft.com/products/howl/)
|
|
Rendezvous API, in addition to the API of Apple (Mac OS X). The available
|
|
API will be autodetected when you call "./configure --with-rendezvous".
|
|
- Made ngIRCd compile on HP/UX 10.20 with native HP pre-ANSI C compiler and
|
|
most probably other older C compilers on other systems.
|
|
- When the daemon should switch to another user ID (ServerID is defined in
|
|
the configuration file) and is not running in a chroot environment, it
|
|
changes its working directory to the home directory of this user. This
|
|
should enable the system to write proper core files when not running with
|
|
root privileges ...
|
|
|
|
ngIRCd 0.8.3 (2005-02-03)
|
|
|
|
- Fixed a bug that could case a root exploit when the daemon is compiled
|
|
to do IDENT lookups and is logging to syslog. Bug discovered by CoKi,
|
|
<coki@nosystem.com.ar>, thanks a lot!
|
|
(CVE-2005-0226; http://www.nosystem.com.ar/advisories/advisory-11.txt)
|
|
|
|
ngIRCd 0.8.2 (2005-01-26)
|
|
|
|
- Added doc/SSL.txt to distribution.
|
|
- Fixed a buffer overflow that could cause the daemon to crash. Bug found
|
|
by Florian Westphal, <westphal@foo.fh-furtwangen.de>. (CVE-2005-0199)
|
|
- Fixed a possible buffer underrun when reading the MOTD file. Thanks
|
|
to Florian Westphal, <westphal@foo.fh-furtwangen.de>.
|
|
- Fixed detection of IRC lines which are too long to send. Detected by
|
|
Florian Westphal, <westphal@foo.fh-furtwangen.de>.
|
|
- Fixed return values of our own implementation of strlcpy(). The code has
|
|
been taken from rsync and they fixed it, but we didn't until today :-/
|
|
It has only been used when the system didn't implement strlcpy by itself,
|
|
not on "modern" systems. Florian Westphal, <westphal@foo.fh-furtwangen.de>.
|
|
|
|
ngIRCd 0.8.1 (2004-12-25)
|
|
|
|
- Autoconf: Updated config.guess and config.sub
|
|
- Added some more debug code ...
|
|
- Fixed wrong variable names in output of "ngircd --configtest".
|
|
- Debian: Fixed the name of the "default file" in the init script for
|
|
ngircd-full packages. And do the test if the binary is executable after
|
|
reading this file.
|
|
- Enhanced the "test suite": please have a look at src/testsuite/README!
|
|
|
|
ngIRCd 0.8.0 (2004-06-26)
|
|
|
|
- Fixed wrong buffer size calculation for results of the resolver.
|
|
|
|
ngircd 0.8.0-pre2 (2004-05-16)
|
|
- Enhanced logging to console when running in "no-detached mode": added
|
|
PID and log messages of resolver sub-processes.
|
|
- Fixed host name lookups when using IDENT user lookups.
|
|
- "make clean" and "make maintainer-clean" remove more files now.
|
|
|
|
ngIRCd 0.8.0-pre1 (2004-05-07)
|
|
- Two new configuration options: "ChrootDir" and "MotdPhrase", thanks to
|
|
Benjamin Pineau <ben@zouh.org>. Now you can force the daemon to change
|
|
its root and working directory to something "safe". MotdPhrase is used
|
|
to define an "MOTD string" instead of a whole file, useful if the
|
|
"real" MOTD file would be outside the "jail".
|
|
- INVITE- and BAN-lists become synchronized between IRC+ servers when
|
|
establishing new connections, if the peer supports this as well.
|
|
- Reorganized autogen.sh and configure scripts.
|
|
- Fixed a wrong assert() which could cause the daemon to exit spuriously
|
|
when closing down connections.
|
|
- Better logging of decompression errors returned by zlib.
|
|
- Servers other than the destination server didn't clean up the invite
|
|
list of an "invite-only" channel properly when an INVITE'd user joined.
|
|
- Changed the reply of the MODE command to match the syntax of the
|
|
original ircd exactly: the unnecessary but missing ":" before the last
|
|
parameter has been added.
|
|
- Fixed TRACE: don't output "Serv" lines for ourself; display more info.
|
|
- Results of the resolver (host names and IDENT names) are discarded after
|
|
the client is successfully registered with the server.
|
|
- Better logging while establishing and shutting down connections.
|
|
- The type of service (TOS) of all sockets is set to "interactive" now.
|
|
- Added short command line option "-t" as alternative to "--configtest".
|
|
- Added optional support for "IDENT" lookups on incoming connections. You
|
|
have to enable this function with the ./configure switch "--with-ident".
|
|
The default is not to do IDENT lookups.
|
|
|
|
ngIRCd 0.7.7 (2004-02-05)
|
|
|
|
- The info text ("real name") of users is set to "-" if none has been
|
|
specified using the USER command (e. g. "USER user * * :"). Reason:
|
|
the original ircd doesn't like empty ones and would KILL such users.
|
|
- Fixed (optional) TCP Wrapper test which was broken and could result in
|
|
false results. Thanks to Fuminori Tanizaki <tany@mcnet.ad.jp>!
|
|
- Removed "USE_" prefixes of configuration #defines.
|
|
|
|
ngIRCd 0.7.6 (2003-12-05)
|
|
|
|
- Fixed abort() ("server crash") when INVITE'ing users to nonexistent
|
|
channels. Bug found by <hiddenx@wp.pl>.
|
|
- Extended version numbering of CVS versions (added date).
|
|
- Enhanced/fixed doc/Protocol.txt;
|
|
|
|
ngIRCd 0.7.5 (2003-11-07)
|
|
|
|
- Fixed ban behavior: users which are banned from a channel can't no
|
|
longer send PRIVMSG's to this channel (fixes Bug #47).
|
|
- Fixed and enhanced the "penalty handling" of the server: commands that
|
|
require more resources block the client for a short time.
|
|
- Changed the internal time resolution to one second.
|
|
- New configuration variable "MaxConnectionsIP" to limit the number of
|
|
simultaneous connections from a single IP that the server will accept.
|
|
This configuration options lowers the risk of denial of service attacks
|
|
(DoS), the default is 5 connections per client IP.
|
|
- Fixed build problems under Mac OS X 10.3.
|
|
- Use "-pipe" when compiling with gcc, speeds things up a little :-)
|
|
- Added new configuration variable "Listen" to bind all listening
|
|
sockets of the server to a single IP address.
|
|
- Suppress misleading error message of diff during make run.
|
|
- Enhanced test-suite and made it work on GNU/Hurd.
|
|
- Fixed minor typo in debug output :-)
|
|
|
|
ngIRCd 0.7.1 (2003-07-18)
|
|
|
|
- Included files to build Debian packages (located in "debian/").
|
|
- Updated config.guess and config.sub to newer upstream versions.
|
|
- NJOIN propagates user channel modes correctly again ... Upsa.
|
|
- Made Makefile more compatible with "make -j<n>".
|
|
- Added support for GNU/Hurd.
|
|
- Fixed a compiler warning related to an unnecessary assert().
|
|
- Enhanced VERSION command when using debug versions.
|
|
|
|
ngIRCd 0.7.0 (2003-05-01)
|
|
|
|
- "ServerName" is checked better now: a dot (".") is required.
|
|
- The KILL command verifies and logs more parameters.
|
|
|
|
ngIRCd 0.7.0-pre2 (2003-04-27)
|
|
- CVS build system fixes (made autogen.sh more portable).
|
|
- Fixed compilation and test-suite on Solaris (tested with 2.6).
|
|
- New documentation file "doc/Platforms.txt" describing the status of
|
|
ngIRCd on the various tested platforms.
|
|
- Test for broken GCC on Mac OS X and disable "-pedantic" in this case.
|
|
- Disable "-ansi" on Cygwin: system headers are incompatible.
|
|
- The server tried to connect to other servers only once when DNS or
|
|
socket failures occurred.
|
|
- Fixed --configtest: There is no variable "ServerPwd", it's "Password".
|
|
|
|
ngIRCd 0.7.0-pre1 (2003-04-22)
|
|
- New signal handler (more secure, actions are executed outside).
|
|
- GCC: the compiler is now called with more warning options enabled.
|
|
- Replaced a lot of str[n]cpy(), str[n]cat() and sprintf() calls with the
|
|
more secure functions strlcpy(), strlcat() and snprintf(). On systems
|
|
that don't support strlcpy() and strlcat(), these functions are included
|
|
in the libngportab now (with prototypes in portab.h).
|
|
- If the server can't close a socket, it panics now. This is an error that
|
|
can't occur during normal operation so there is something broken.
|
|
- The order of log messages during disconnects is more "natural" now ;-)
|
|
- Cleaned up handling of server configuration structures: modifying and
|
|
removing servers during runtime works more reliable now.
|
|
- Compression code from "conn.[ch]" is now found in new "conn-zip.[ch]"
|
|
- Moved some connection functions from "conn.[ch]" to "conn-func.[ch]".
|
|
- New command CONNECT to enable and add server links. The syntax is not
|
|
RFC-compatible: use "CONNECT <name> <port>" to enable and connect an
|
|
configured server and "CONNECT <name> <port> <host> <mypwd> <peerpwd>"
|
|
to add a new server (ngIRCd tries to connect new servers only once!).
|
|
- Added DISCONNECT command ("DISCONNECT <name>") to disable servers.
|
|
- Restructured the documentation: Now the main language is English. The
|
|
German documentation has been removed (until there is a maintainer).
|
|
- Enhanced killing of users caused by a nickname collision.
|
|
- Better error detection for status code ("numerics") forwarding.
|
|
- Moved tool functions to own library: "libngtool".
|
|
- New command TRACE (you can trace only servers at the moment).
|
|
- New command HELP that lists all understood commands.
|
|
- There should no longer remain "unknown connections" (see e.g. LUSERS)
|
|
if an outgoing server link can't be established.
|
|
- Added AC_PREREQ(2.50) to configure.in for better autoconf compatibility.
|
|
- Conn_Close() now handles recursive calls for the same link correctly.
|
|
- ngIRCd can register itself with Rendezvous: to enable support pass the
|
|
new switch "--with-rendezvous" to configure.
|
|
- Added support for TCP Wrappers library: pass "--with-tcp-wrappers" to
|
|
configure to enable it.
|
|
- Changed some configure options to use "--with"/"--without" as prefix
|
|
instead of "--enable"/"--disable": "--without-syslog", "--without-zlib",
|
|
"--with-tcp-wrappers", and "--with-rendezvous".
|
|
- Better error reporting to clients on connect.
|
|
- Enhanced manual pages ngircd(8) and ngircd.conf(5).
|
|
- Documentation is now installed in $(datadir)/doc/ngircd.
|
|
- Enhanced handling of NJOIN in case of nick collisions.
|
|
|
|
ngIRCd 0.6.1 (2003-01-21)
|
|
|
|
- Fixed KILL: you can't crash the server by killing yourself any more,
|
|
ngIRCd no longer sends a QUIT to other servers after the KILL, and you
|
|
can kill only valid users now.
|
|
- The server no longer forwards commands to ordinary users, instead it
|
|
answers with the correct error message ("no such server") now.
|
|
- WHOIS commands weren't always forwarded as requested.
|
|
- The server sets a correct default AWAY message now when propagating
|
|
between servers (bug introduced in 0.6.0).
|
|
- Fixed up and enhanced CHANINFO command: channel keys and user limits
|
|
are synchronized between servers now, too.
|
|
- MODE returns the key and user limit for channel members correctly now.
|
|
- Non-members of a channel could crash the server when trying to change
|
|
its modes or modes of its members.
|
|
- The server didn't validate weather a target user is a valid channel
|
|
member when changing his channel user modes which could crash ngIRCd.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Older changes (sorry, only available in German language):
|
|
|
|
ngIRCd 0.6.0, 24.12.2002
|
|
|
|
ngIRCd 0.6.0-pre2, 23.12.2002
|
|
- neuer Numeric 005 ("Features") beim Connect.
|
|
- LUSERS erweitert: nun wird die maximale Anzahl der lokalen und globalen
|
|
Clients, die dem Server bzw. im Netzwerk seit dem letzten (Re-)Start
|
|
dem Server gleichzeitig bekannt waren, angezeigt.
|
|
|
|
ngIRCd 0.6.0-pre1, 18.12.2002
|
|
- beim Schliessen einer Verbindung zeigt der Server nun vor dem ERROR
|
|
noch eine Statistik ueber die empfangene und gesendete Datenmenge an.
|
|
- der Server wartet bei einer eingehenden Verbindung nun laenger auf den
|
|
Resolver (4 Sekunden), wenn das Ergebnis eintrifft setzt er aber den
|
|
Login sofort fort (bisher wurde immer mind. 1 Sekunde gewartet).
|
|
- Connection-Strukturen werden nun "pool-weise" verwaltet; der Pool wird
|
|
bei Bedarf bis zu einem konfigurierten Limit vergroessert.
|
|
- Mit der neuen Konfigurationsvariable "MaxConnections" (Sektion "Global")
|
|
kann die maximale Anzahl gleichzeitiger Verbindungen begrenzt werden.
|
|
Der Default ist -1, "unlimitiert".
|
|
- der Server erkennt nun, ob bereits eine eingehende Verbindung von einem
|
|
Peer-Server besteht und versucht dann nicht mehr, selber eine eigene
|
|
ausgehende Verbindung zu diesem auufzubauen. Dadurch kann nun auf beiden
|
|
Servern in der Konfiguration ein Port fuer den Connect konfiguriert
|
|
werden (beide Server versuchen sich dann gegenseitig zu connectieren).
|
|
- Test-Suite und Dokumentation an A/UX angepasst.
|
|
- unter HP-UX definiert das configure-Script nun _XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED.
|
|
- Server identifizieren sich nun mit asynchronen Passwoertern, d.h. das
|
|
Passwort, welches A an B schickt, kann ein anderes sein als das, welches
|
|
B als Antwort an A sendet. In der Konfig.-Datei, Abschnitt "Server",
|
|
wurde "Password" dazu durch "MyPassword" und "PeerPassword" ersetzt.
|
|
- Der Server kann nun zur Laufzeit die Konfiguration neu einlesen: dies
|
|
macht er nach dem Befehl REHASH oder wenn ein HUP-Signal empfangen wird.
|
|
- Channel-Mode "P" ("persistent") kann nur noch von IRC-Operatoren gesetzt
|
|
werden. Grund: User koennen den Server sonst leicht "Channel-Flooden".
|
|
- MOTD kann nun an andere Server geforwarded werden.
|
|
- IRC-Befehl "TIME" implementiert.
|
|
- Server-Server-Links koennen nun komprimiert werden, dazu wird die zlib
|
|
(www.zlib.org) benoetigt. Unterstuetzt die Gegenseite die Komprimierung
|
|
nicht, wird automatisch unkomprimiert kommuniziert. Das Verfahren ist
|
|
kompatibel mit dem Original-ircd 2.10.3, d.h. beide Server koennen
|
|
miteinander ueber komprimiert Links kommunizieren.
|
|
- Handling der Schreibpuffer umgestellt: Server sollte schneller arbeiten.
|
|
- Prefix-Fehler werden besser protokolliert (mit verursachendem Befehl).
|
|
- SQUIT wird nicht mehr doppelt an andere Server weitergeleitet.
|
|
- Der Server versucht nun vor dem Schliessen einer Verbindung Daten, die
|
|
noch im Schreibpuffer stehen, zu senden.
|
|
- Source in weiteres Modul "irc-info" aufgespalten.
|
|
- Konfigurationsvariablen werden besser validiert: Laengen, Zahlen, ...
|
|
- neuen Befehl STATS begonnen: bisher unterstuetzt wird "l" und "m".
|
|
- bei ISON und USERHOST fehlte im Ergebnis-String der korrekte Absender.
|
|
- IRC Operatoren koennen nun mit KILL User toeten. Achtung: ein Grund muss
|
|
zwingend als zweiter Parameter angegeben werden!
|
|
- neue Konfigurations-Variable "MaxJoins": Hiermit kann die maximale Zahl
|
|
der Channels, in denen ein User Mitglied sein kann, begrent werden.
|
|
- neuer, deutlich flexiblerer Parser fuer den MODE Befehl.
|
|
- neue Channel-Modes l (User-Limit) und k (Channel-Key) implementiert.
|
|
|
|
ngIRCd 0.5.4, 24.11.2002
|
|
|
|
- Fehler-Handling von connect() gefixed: der Server kann sich nun auch
|
|
unter A/UX wieder zu anderen verbinden.
|
|
- in den Konfigurationsvariablen ServerUID und ServerGID kann nun nicht
|
|
nur die numerische ID, sondern auch der Name des Users bzw. der Gruppe
|
|
verwendet werden. Beim Start des Daemons wird nun beides angezeigt.
|
|
- Besseres Logging von Prefix-Fehlern.
|
|
- angenommene Sockets werden nun korrekt auf "non-blocking" konfiguriert,
|
|
beim Senden und Empfangen werden Blockierungen besser abgefangen.
|
|
- RPL_UMODEIS hat Code 221, nicht 211 ... *argl*
|
|
- select() in Try_Write() hat falschen (keinen!) Timeout verwendet;
|
|
die "Zeit-Aufloesung" des Servers sind zudem nun 2 Sekunden (TIME_RES).
|
|
Insgesamt sollte die Reaktionszeit des Server nun besser sein.
|
|
|
|
ngIRCd 0.5.3, 08.11.2002
|
|
|
|
- NOTICE liefert nun wirklich nie mehr einen Fehler, auch dann nicht,
|
|
wenn der sendende Client noch gar nicht registriert ist.
|
|
- ein "schneller Server-Reconnect" wird nur noch dann versucht, wenn die
|
|
Verbindung zuvor ordentlich (="lange genug") in Ordnung war; somit also
|
|
nicht meht, wenn der Peer-Server gleich beim Connect ein ERROR liefert.
|
|
Das vermeidet "Connect-Orgien".
|
|
- einige Datentypen aufgeraumt: z.B. sind viele INT32s nun LONGs. Das ist
|
|
auf Platformen mit 8-Byte-Integern kompatibler.
|
|
- RPL_YOURHOST_MSG ist nun ircII- und RFC-kompatibel ;-)
|
|
- Segfault unter hoher Netzaktivitaet behoben: in Conn_Close() wird die
|
|
Connection-Struktur nun frueher als "ungueltig" markiert.
|
|
|
|
ngIRCd 0.5.2, 04.10.2002
|
|
|
|
- Buffer Overflow in Read_Resolver_Result() behoben.
|
|
- Format-String-Bugs, die zum Abbruch des Servers fuehrten, behoben.
|
|
- Maximale Laenge eines IRC-Prefix wurde falsch berechnet.
|
|
|
|
ngIRCd 0.5.1, 03.10.2002
|
|
|
|
- in RPL_YOURHOST_MSG wurde ein fehlerhafter Versionsstring geliefert.
|
|
- Test-Suite: start-server.sh, stop-server.sh und stress-server.sh koennen
|
|
nun "manuell" von der Kommandozeile gestartet werden, stress-server.sh
|
|
startet per Default nur noch 5 Sessions, eine andere Zahl kann auf der
|
|
Kommandozeile uebergeben werden (Syntax: "stress-server.sh <count>").
|
|
- In bestimmten Faellen hat der Server versucht auf einen bereits wieder
|
|
geschlossenen Socket Daten zu schreiben; das fuehrte zu einem Abbruch des
|
|
Servers durch ein assert(). Nun wird geprueft, ob der Socket noch ok ist.
|
|
- im "contrib"-Verzeichnis befindet sich nun eine RPM-Spec-Datei, aus den
|
|
.tar.gz's koennen nun mit "rpm -ta <archiv>" RPM's erzeugt werden. Danke
|
|
an Sean Reifschneider <jafo@tummy.com>!
|
|
- Syntax von RPL_MYINFO_MSG korrigiert: liefert nun vier Parameter.
|
|
|
|
ngIRCd 0.5.0, 20.09.2002
|
|
|
|
- Dokumentation aktualisiert.
|
|
- Fehler bei Validierung von "AdminInfo2" behoben.
|
|
- Test der Flags fuer "ps" in der Testsuite verbessert, ist nun zu mehr
|
|
Plattformen kompatibler.
|
|
|
|
ngIRCd 0.5.0-pre2, 17.09.2002
|
|
- Fix in IRC_WriteStrServersPrefix() war "badly broken" -- behoben.
|
|
|
|
ngIRCd 0.5.0-pre1, 16.09.2002
|
|
- Manual-Pages ngircd.8 und ngircd.conf.5 begonnen.
|
|
- Wird der Netzwerk-Sniffer aktiviert (--sniffer), so schaltet der
|
|
ngIRCd nun automatisch in den Debug-Modus.
|
|
- auf Systemen, die inet_aton() nicht kennen (wie z.B. A/UX), kann der
|
|
ngIRCd nun dennoch auch aktiv Server-Links aufbauen.
|
|
- h_errno wird auf Systemen, die das nicht kennen (wie z.B. HP-UX 10.20)
|
|
nicht mehr verwendet. Somit compiliert der ngIRCd nun auch dort :-)
|
|
- um auf dem Ziel-System nicht vorhandene Funktionen nachzubilden wird nun
|
|
die "libngportab" erzeugt; genutzt wird dies bisher fuer vsnprintf().
|
|
Nun compiliert der ngIRCd auch unter Solaris 2.5.1.
|
|
- "persistente Channels" (Mode 'P') implementiert: diese koennen in der
|
|
Konfigurationsdatei definiert werden (Sektion "Channel", vgl. Beispiel-
|
|
Konfiguration "sample-ngircd.conf") und bleiben auch dann bestehen,
|
|
wenn kein User mehr im Channel ist. Zu Channel-Operatoren werden bisher
|
|
nur IRC-Operatoren, die den Channel betreten. Die persistenten Channels
|
|
werden durch das Flag "P" gelennzeichnet, welches normal durch Channel-
|
|
Op's gesetzt und geloescht werden kann.
|
|
- bei "--configtest" werden keine leere Abschnitte mehr ausgegeben.
|
|
- Source in weitere Module aufgespalten: lists, irc-op und resolve.
|
|
- #include's aufgeraeumt: Header includieren keine anderen mehr.
|
|
- KICK implementiert (bisher kann nur ein User aus einem Channel geckicked
|
|
werden, Listen, wir im RFC vorgesehen, werden bisher nicht unterstuetzt).
|
|
- INVITE, den Channel-Mode "i" sowie Invite-Lists ueber den MODE-Befehl
|
|
(setzen, erfragen und loeschen) implementiert.
|
|
- Source an ansi2knr fuer pre-ANSI-Compiler angepasst; ansi2knr in Source-
|
|
Tree aufgenommen und in Build-System integriert; der ngIRCd compiliert
|
|
nun z.B. unter A/UX mit dem nativen Compiler von Apple.
|
|
- TOPIC lieferte bei unbekanntem Channel einen falschen Fehlercode.
|
|
- LIST versteht nun Wildcards und kann an andere Server geforwarded werden.
|
|
- wurde ein KILL fuer nicht-lokale Clients empfangen, so wurden die
|
|
Verwaltungs-Strukturen nicht korrekt freigegeben.
|
|
- empfangene NJOIN's wurden "zerhackt" an andere Server weitergegeben.
|
|
- neue Konfigurationsoption "OperCanUseMode" (Sektion "Global"):
|
|
ist sie aktiv, koennen IRC-Operatoren immer Channel-Modes setzen.
|
|
- Dokumentation des neuen IRC+-Protokolls begonnen: doc/Protocol.txt
|
|
- Protokoll- und Server-ID bei PASS-Befehlen auf neues Format umgestellt;
|
|
bei empfangenen PASS-Befehlen werden diese zudem nun auch ausgewertet.
|
|
Die unterstuetzten Flags sind in doc/Protocol.txt beschrieben.
|
|
- mit dem neuen Befehl CHANINFO synchronisieren Server, die das IRC+-
|
|
Protokoll unterstuetzen, Channel-Modes und Topics.
|
|
- neue Option "--disable-ircplus" fuer das configure-Script, um das
|
|
IRC+-Protokoll abzuschalten (per Default ist es aktiviert).
|
|
- Ban-Lists (setzen, erfragen und loeschen) implementiert.
|
|
- wird der Server mit "-n"/"--nodaemon" gestartet, so werden keine Mel-
|
|
dungen mehr ueber Syslog ausgegeben, sondern nur noch auf der Konsole.
|
|
- "Test-Suite" begonnen (in "make check" integriert): Dabei wird ein
|
|
speziell konfigurierter Server auf Port 6789 gestartet, mit dem dann
|
|
einige Tests durchgefuehrt werden (u.a. "Stress-Test" mit 50 Clients).
|
|
- zu lange Operator-Namen in der Konfiguration wurden falsch gekuerzt.
|
|
- kleine Anpassung an AIX 3.2.5: nun laeuft der ngIRCd auch dort :-)
|
|
- ADMIN-Befehl implementiert. Die Daten hierzu werden in der Konfig-Datei
|
|
im [Global]-Abschnitt mit den Variablen "AdminInfo1", "AdminInfo2" und
|
|
"AdminEMail" konfiguriert.
|
|
|
|
ngIRCd 0.4.3, 11.06.2002
|
|
|
|
- Bei PRIVMSG und NOTICE hat der ngIRCd nicht ueberpruft, ob das Ziel
|
|
ueberhaupt ein User ist. War es keiner, so fuehrte dies zu einem
|
|
Abbruch des Servers [es wurde assert() aufgerufen].
|
|
|
|
ngIRCd 0.4.2, 29.04.2002
|
|
|
|
- LUSERS verzaehlt sich bei eigenen Server-Links nicht mehr.
|
|
- QUIT wird nun auch von noch nicht registrierten Clients akzeptiert.
|
|
- IRC-Funktion LIST implementiert; bisher werden allerdings noch keine
|
|
Wildcards (bis auf "*") unterstuetzt.
|
|
|
|
ngIRCd 0.4.1, 08.04.2002
|
|
|
|
- Bei Server-Links wird nicht mehr an Hand der Anzahl der Parameter
|
|
eines empfangenen SERVER-Befehls, sondern "intern" erkannt, ob es
|
|
sich um eine ein- oder ausgehende Verbindung handelt und somit das
|
|
eigene PASS-SERVER-Paar gesendet werden muss oder nicht. Da sich
|
|
verschiedene Versionen des Original-ircd's anders verhalten, schlug
|
|
die Anmeldung je nach Gehenseite evtl. fehl.
|
|
- Bei einem NICK-Befehl eines lokalen Client konnte der Server ab-
|
|
stuerzen, da ein Format-String einer Log-Meldung fehlerhaft war.
|
|
|
|
ngIRCd 0.4.0, 01.04.2002
|
|
|
|
- IRC-Befehle nochmal auf weitere Source-Dateien aufgespalten.
|
|
- WHO implementiert (bisher ohne komplette Unterstuetzung von Masks).
|
|
- Der AWAY-Mode wurde nicht ueber mehrere Server-Links weitergegeben.
|
|
- stderr wird nun in eine Datei umgelenkt (/tmp/ngircd-<PID>.err).
|
|
Laeuft der Server nicht im Debug-Modus, so wird diese bei Programm-
|
|
ende geloescht. Sollte der Server abstuerzen, finden sich hier evtl.
|
|
zusaetzliche Informationen.
|
|
- In Nicknames wird das Zeichen "-" nun als zulaessig erkannt.
|
|
- die Beispiel-Konfigurationsdatei (doc/sample-ngircd.conf) wird als
|
|
ngircd.conf installiert, wenn noch keine "echte" Konfigurationsdatei
|
|
vorhanden ist.
|
|
- bei WHO, WHOIS und NAMES wird nun nur noch der Status "Operator" oder
|
|
"voiced" geliefert -- nicht mehr beides.
|
|
- Server-Gruppen implementiert: es wird immer nur zu einem Server in
|
|
einer Gruppe eine Verbindung aufgebaut, klappt es beim ersten Server
|
|
nicht, so wird der naechste probiert (Variable "Group" in der Kon-
|
|
figurationsdatei, Sektion [Server]).
|
|
- IRC_PING() ist, wenn nicht im "strict RFC"-Mode, toleranter und ak-
|
|
zeptiert beliebig viele Parameter (z.B. BitchX sendet soetwas).
|
|
- die "Portab-Header" werden nicht mehr benoetigt, die System-Erkennung
|
|
wird nun ausschliesslich vom configure-Script durchgefuehrt. System-
|
|
abhaengige Definitionen finden sich nun unter src/portrab/.
|
|
- Clients und Channels werden nicht mehr ueber ihren Namen, sondern
|
|
einen Hash-Wert gesucht: sollte deutlich schneller sein.
|
|
- neuer Kommandozeilen-Parameter "--configtest": die Konfiguration wird
|
|
gelesen und dann die verwendeten Werte angezeigt.
|
|
- Client-Mode "s" (Server Notices) implementiert.
|
|
- mit dem neuen Kommandozeilen-Parameter "--config"/"-f" kann eine
|
|
alternative Konfigurationsdatei angegeben werden.
|
|
- nach dem Start kann der ngIRCd, wenn er mit root-Rechten laeuft,
|
|
zu einer anderen User-ID und Group-ID wechseln.
|
|
- URL der Homepage wird u.a. bei "--version" mit angezeigt.
|
|
|
|
ngIRCd 0.3.0, 02.03.2002
|
|
|
|
- bekommt der Server ein HUP-Signal, so startet er neu -- genau so, wie
|
|
er auf den IRC-Befehl RESTART reagiert.
|
|
- FAQ um Hinweise auf den Bugtracker erweitert.
|
|
- neuer Kommandozeilen-Schalter "--passive" (-p): wird er angegeben, so
|
|
verbindet sich der ngIRCd nicht mehr automatisch zu anderen Servern.
|
|
Zum Debuggen manchmal ganz praktisch :-)
|
|
- direkt nach dem Start schreibt der ngIRCd nun die aktiven Kommando-
|
|
zeilenschalter in's Logfile (Passive, Debug, Sniffer ...).
|
|
- das Signal-Flag SA_RESTART wird nur noch gesetzt, wenn es auf dem
|
|
jeweiligen System auch definiert ist.
|
|
- bei ausgehenden Verbindungen wird nun der Ziel-Port protokolliert.
|
|
- neue Befehle VERSION und KILL implementiert.
|
|
- make-Target "check" (und "distcheck") mit Sinn erfuellt :-)
|
|
(die Tests sind aber bisher nicht all zu tiefgehend ...)
|
|
- Durch einen Ueberlauf konnte die Idle-Time bei WHOIS negativ werden ...
|
|
- Anpassungen an A/UX: gehoert nun auch zu den unterstuetzten Platformen.
|
|
- WHOIS wird nicht mehr automatisch an den "Original-Server" weiterge-
|
|
leitet: war eh nicht RFC-konform und machte mit Clients Probleme.
|
|
- an User wird nun immer ein "komplettes" Prefix (mit Host-Mask) ver-
|
|
schickt, Server bekommen nach wie vor kurze: das "Original" hat bei
|
|
bestimmten Befehlen (PRIVMSG) ansonsten evtl. Probleme ...
|
|
- NAMES korrigiert und vollstaendig implementiert.
|
|
- SQUIT wird auf jeden Fall geforwarded, zudem besseres Logging.
|
|
- Ist ein Nick bei der User-Registrierung bereits belegt, nimmt der
|
|
Server nun korrekt weitere NICK-Befehle an und verwendet diese.
|
|
- PRIVMSG beachtet nun die Channel-Modes "n" und "m".
|
|
- AWAY implementiert. PRIVMSG, MODE, USERHOST und WHOIS angepasst.
|
|
- der ngIRCd unterstuetzt nun Channel-Topics (TOPIC-Befehl).
|
|
- ausgehende Server-Verbindungen werden nun asynchron connectiert und
|
|
blockieren nicht mehr den ganzen Server, wenn die Gegenseite nicht
|
|
erreicht werden kann (bis zum Timeout konnten Minuten vergehen!).
|
|
- Wert der Konfigurations-Variable "ConnectRetry" wird besser beachtet.
|
|
- Channel- und Nicknames werden nun ordentlich validiert.
|
|
|
|
ngIRCd 0.2.1, 17.02.2002
|
|
|
|
- NICK korrigiert: es werden nun auch alle "betroffenen" User informiert.
|
|
- configure-Script erweitert, u.a. bessere Anpassung an BeOS: dort wird
|
|
nun die "libbe" zum ngIRCd gelinkt, somit funktioniert auch syslog.
|
|
- Fehlerhafte bzw. noch nicht verstandene Modes werden nun ausfuehrlicher
|
|
an den Client geliefert.
|
|
|
|
ngIRCd 0.2.0, 15.02.2002
|
|
|
|
- Nicknames und Channel-Namen werden etwas besser auf Gueltigkeit ueber-
|
|
prueft; ist aber nach wie vor noch nicht ausreichend.
|
|
- NJOINS von Servern wurden nicht an andere Server weitergeleitet.
|
|
- Begonnen Channel-Modes und User-Channel-Modes zu implementieren: der
|
|
Server versteht an User-Modes o und v, beachtet letzteres allerdings
|
|
noch nirgends. Bekannte (aber nicht beachtete!) Channel-Modes sind
|
|
bisher a, m, n, p, q, s und t. Diese Modes werden von Usern ange-
|
|
nommen, von anderen Servern werden auch unbekannte Modes uebernommen.
|
|
- Benutzer von connectierenden Servern wurden nicht in den Channels ange-
|
|
kuendigt, es wurden nur die internen Strukturen angepasst.
|
|
- Nach dem Connect eines Users werden LUSERS-Informationen angezeigt.
|
|
|
|
ngIRCd 0.1.0, 29.01.2002
|
|
|
|
- User-Modes bei User-Registrierungen von andere Servern (NICK-Befehl)
|
|
wurden falsch uebernommen. Zudem wurden die Modes falsch gekuerzt.
|
|
- Server-Verbindungen werden nun nach dem Start erst nach einer kurzen
|
|
Pause aufgebaut (zur Zeit drei Sekunden).
|
|
- Hilfetext korrigiert: --help und --version waren vertauscht, die
|
|
Option --sniffer wurde gar nicht erwaehnt.
|
|
- FAQ.txt in doc/ begonnen.
|
|
- der IRC-Sniffer wird nur noch aktiviert, wenn die Option auf der
|
|
Kommandozeile angegeben wurde (bei entsprechend compiliertem Server).
|
|
- Channels implementiert, bisher jedoch noch ohne Channel-Modes, d.h.
|
|
es gibt keine Channel-Ops, kein Topic, kein "topic lock" etc. pp.
|
|
Chatten in Channels ist aber natuerlich moeglich ;-)
|
|
- neue Befehle fuer Channles: JOIN, PART und NJOIN.
|
|
- durch die Channels einige Aenderungen an PRIVMSG, WHOIS, MODE etc.
|
|
- neu connectierenden Servern werden nun Channels mit NJOIN angekuendigt.
|
|
- Signal-Hander geaendert: die Fehlermeldung "interrupted system call"
|
|
sollte so nicht mehr auftreten.
|
|
- "spaeter" neu connectierende Server werden nun im Netz angekuendigt.
|
|
- SERVER-Meldungen an andere Server sind nun korrekt sortiert.
|
|
- Clients werden nun korrekt sowohl nur ueber den Nickname als auch die
|
|
komplette "Host Mask" erkannt.
|
|
|
|
ngIRCd 0.0.3, 16.01.2002
|
|
|
|
- Server-Links vollstaendig implementiert: der ngIRCd kann nun auch
|
|
"Sub-Server" haben, also sowohl als Leaf-Node als auch Hub in einem
|
|
IRC-Netzwerk arbeiten.
|
|
- MODE und NICK melden nun die Aenderungen an andere Server, ebenso
|
|
die Befehle QUIT und SQUIT.
|
|
- WHOIS wird nun immer an den "Original-Server" weitergeleitet.
|
|
- Parses handhabt Leerzeichen zw. Parametern nun etwas "lockerer".
|
|
- Status-Codes an den Server selber werden ignorier.
|
|
- Log-Meldungen und Log-Level ueberarbeitet und korrigiert.
|
|
- Kommandozeilen-Parser: Debug- und No-Daemon-Modus, Hilfe.
|
|
- ngIRCd wandelt sich nun in einen Daemon (Hintergrundprozess) um.
|
|
- WHOIS korrigiert: Anfrage wurde u.U. an User geforwarded anstatt vom
|
|
Server beantwortet zu werden.
|
|
- neue Befehle: LUSERS, LINKS
|
|
- Client-Modes von Remote-Servern wurden nicht korrekt uerbernommen.
|
|
|
|
ngIRCd 0.0.2, 06.01.2002
|
|
|
|
- Struktur der Konfigurationsdatei geaendert: sie ist nun "Samba like",
|
|
d.h. sie besteht aus Abschnitten (siehe "doc/sample-ngircd.conf").
|
|
- Es koennen mehrere IRC-Server-Opertatoren konfiguriert werden.
|
|
- Zombies der Resolver-Prozesse werden nun ordentlich "getoetet".
|
|
- NICK kann nun die Gross- und Kleinschreibung eines Nicks aendern.
|
|
- ein Server-Passwort ist nun konfigurierbar.
|
|
- neue Befehle: ERROR, SERVER, NJOIN (nur als "Fake"), SQUIT.
|
|
- Asynchroner Resolver Hostname->IP implementiert.
|
|
- Server-Links teilweise implementiert: bisher kann der ngIRCd jedoch
|
|
nur "leafed server" sein, d.h. keine "Client-Server" haben. Einige
|
|
Befehle sind auch noch nicht (optimal) angepasst: PRIVMSG funktioniert
|
|
aber bereits, ebenso wie WHOIS (letzterer wird immer an den Server,
|
|
auf dem der User registriert ist, weitergegeben).
|
|
- "arpa/inet.h" wird nur noch includiert, wenn vorhanden.
|
|
- Fehler bei select() fuerhen nun zum Abbruch von ngIRCd, bisher landete
|
|
der Server zumeist in einer Endlosschleife.
|
|
- Logmeldungen und Level an vielen Stellen verbessert.
|
|
- lokalen Usernamen wird nun ein "~" vorangestellt, da bisher noch keine
|
|
Ident-Anfragen gemacht werden.
|
|
|
|
ngIRCd 0.0.1, 31.12.2001
|
|
|
|
- erste oeffentliche Version von ngIRCd als "public preview" :-)
|
