-- ChangeLog --
ngIRCd
- New configuration option "MaxListSize" to configure the maximum number
of channels returned by a LIST command. The default is 100, as before.
2012-10-24 22:03:56 +02:00
- 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
2012-10-24 22:03:56 +02:00
random salt will be generated after each server restart. (Closes #133)
2012-06-19 11:47:15 +02:00
ngIRCd Release 19.2 (2012-06-19)
- doc/Capabilities.txt: document "multi-prefix" capability
2012-06-09 12:53:44 +02:00
2012-06-13 11:40:24 +02:00
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.
2012-06-09 12:53:44 +02:00
- 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 capablity "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.
2012-03-19 19:19:58 +01:00
ngIRCd Release 19.1 (2012-03-19)
2012-03-05 22:29:53 +01:00
- 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
2012-03-05 22:29:53 +01:00
distribution archive ... ooops!
- getpid.sh: Fix test case error for Debian using sbuild(1).
2012-03-05 22:29:53 +01:00
- Don't log "ngIRCd hello message" two times when starting up.
2012-02-29 17:35:32 +01:00
ngIRCd Release 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
2012-02-29 17:35:32 +01:00
the "SyslogFacility" configuration option ...
Thanks to Patrik Schindler for reporting this issue!
2012-02-12 17:58:50 +01:00
ngIRCd 19~rc1 (2012-02-12)
2012-02-12 16:48:57 +01:00
- 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
2012-01-23 12:30:16 +01:00
(if available) and the IP address of a client in the WHOIS reply.
Only the user itself and local IRC operators get this numeric.
2012-01-22 15:58:39 +01:00
- 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 nick name 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).
2012-02-12 16:48:57 +01:00
- 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 nick names.
- 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.
2012-01-23 12:30:16 +01:00
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 nick name of this user
is "registered". This mode isn't handled by ngIRCd itself, but must
be set and unset by IRC services like Anope.
- Implement channel mode "R": only registered users (having the user
mode "R" set) are allowed to join this channel.
- Test suite: bind to loopback (127.0.0.1) interface only.
- New 2nd message "Nickname too long" for error code 432.
- Xcode: Mac OS X config.h: support 10.5 as well as 10.6/10.7 SDK.
- Xcode: exclude more Xcode 4 specific directories in ".gitignore".
- Disconnect directly linked servers sending QUIT. Without this,
the server becomes removed from the network and the client list,
but the connection isn't shut down at all ...
- contrib/ngindent: detect "gindent" as GNU indent.
- Handle unknown user and channel modes: these modes are saved and
forwarded to other servers, but ignored otherwise.
- Handle channel user modes 'a', 'h', and 'q' from remote servers.
These channel user modes aren't used for anything at the moment,
but ngIRCd knows that these three modes are "channel user modes"
and not "channel modes", that is that these modes take an "nick name"
argument. Like unknown user and channel modes, these modes are saved
and forwarded to other servers, but ignored otherwise.
- Correctly inform clients when other servers change their user modes.
This is required for some services to work correctly.
- Test suite: make getpid.sh work even when run as root.
- Spoofed prefixes: close connection on non-server links only.
On server-links, spoofed prefixes can happen because of the
asynchronous nature of the IRC protocol. So don't break server-
links, only log a message and ignore the command. (Closes #113)
ngIRCd Release 18 (2011-07-10)
- Update timestamp of ngircd(8) manual page.
- Add preliminary ngIRCd protocol module for Anope 1.9 to contrib/Anope/.
- Don't register WHOWAS information when "MorePrivacy" option is in effect.
2011-06-29 10:22:46 +02:00
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).
2011-06-27 23:00:30 +02:00
ngIRCd 18~rc1 (2011-06-27)
- PAM warning message: make clear which "Password" config option is ignored.
2011-06-28 13:12:06 +02:00
- 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
2011-06-28 13:12:06 +02:00
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.
2011-06-28 13:12:06 +02:00
- 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.
2011-06-28 13:12:06 +02:00
- 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 nick name 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
2011-06-28 13:12:06 +02:00
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 ...
2011-06-28 13:12:06 +02:00
- Don't throttle services and servers being registered.
- Xcode: correctly sort files :-)
2011-06-28 13:12:06 +02:00
- 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).
2010-12-19 15:59:00 +01:00
ngIRCd Release 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
- Manual page ngircd(8): add SIGNALS section
2011-06-28 13:12:06 +02:00
- Manual pages: update and simplify AUTHORS section
2010-12-19 15:59:00 +01:00
- 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()
2010-11-07 17:24:07 +01:00
ngIRCd Release 17 (2010-11-07)
- doc: change path names in sample-ngircd.conf depending on sysconfdir

2010-10-27 22:31:05 +02:00
ngIRCd 17~rc3 (2010-10-27)
- Xcode builds: detect version number correctly, updateed 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.
2010-10-25 18:51:32 +02:00
ngIRCd 17~rc2 (2010-10-25)
- ZeroConf: include header files missing since commit a988bbc86a.
- Generate ngIRCd version number from GIT tag.
- Make sourcecode 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.
2010-10-11 23:25:48 +02:00
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 dependant, 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 contens 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.

- Fix gcc warning "ignoring return value of ..."
- Include netinet/in_systm.h alongside netinet/ip.h
- Include netinet/{in.h, in_systm.h} when checking for netinet/ip.h
- Only include <netinet/in_systm.h> if it exists

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.
2009-11-07 13:57:15 +01:00
ngIRCd Release 15 (2009-11-07)
- "ngircd --configtest": print SSL configuration options even when unset.

2009-10-03 16:45:09 +02:00
- 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 (insted of the already
implemented but non-standard DISCONNECT command).
- New configuration option "AllowRemoteOper" (disabled by default) that

- Fix LSB header of Debian init script.
- Updated doc/Platforms.txt and include new script contrib/platformtest.sh
to ease generating platform reports.

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.
- Minor fixes to manual pages and documentation.

2008-11-21 22:08:23 +01:00
ngIRCd 13~rc1 (2008-11-21):
2009-01-01 17:56:42 +01:00
- 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.

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)

(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)
2008-02-26 21:35:43 +01:00

- SECURITY: IRC_PART could reference invalid memory, causing
ngircd to crash [from HEAD]. (CVE-2008-0285)
ngIRCd 0.11.0-pre1 (2008-01-02)
- Use dotted-decimal IP address if host name is >= 64.
2007-12-11 12:29:43 +01:00
- Add support for /STAT u (server uptime) command.

2009-01-01 17:56:42 +01:00
the source IP address to use when connecting to remote server.
- New configuration option "MaxNickLength" to specify the allowed maximum
length of user nick names. Note: must be unique in an IRC network!

2007-04-08 13:39:08 +02:00
- Adjust path names in manual pages according to "./configure" settings.
- Added new server configuration option "Passive" for "Server" blocks to
disable automatic outgoing connections (similar to -p option to ngircd,
but only for the specified server). (Tassilo Schweyer)
- Don't connect to a server if a connection to another server within the
same group is already in progress.
- Added support for the WALLOPS command. Usage is restricted to IRC
2007-08-02 12:16:28 +02:00
operators.

- When using epoll() IO interface, compile in the select() interface as
well and fall back to it when epoll() isn't available on runtime.
- New configure option "--without-select" to disable select() IO API
(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".

- Validate "ServerName" (see RFC 2812, section 2.3.1).
2006-07-23 17:47:26 +02:00
- 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).
2005-09-12 21:10:20 +02:00
- Internal: Simplified resolver code.
- JOIN now supports more than one channel key at a time.
2006-07-23 17:47:26 +02:00

the counter if data is received and disconnect clients earlier.
- Removed unnecessary #define of "LOCAL", now use plain C "static" instead.
2005-07-30 23:00:19 +02:00
- Channel topics are no longer limited to 127 characters: now the only limit
2005-08-28 00:59:06 +02:00
is the maximum length of an IRC command, i. e. 512 bytes (in practice, this
2005-07-30 23:00:19 +02:00
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.
2005-07-02 16:46:38 +02:00
ngIRCd 0.9.2 (2005-10-15)

- 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!
2005-08-25 11:00:16 +02:00
- 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.
2005-07-02 16:46:38 +02:00
- Cut off oversized IRC messages that should be sent to the network instead
2005-08-28 00:59:06 +02:00
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" ...
2005-05-16 14:25:15 +02:00
- 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 datatypes.
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
2005-04-13 23:40:49 +02:00
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
2005-04-13 23:40:49 +02:00
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 ...
2005-02-04 15:21:35 +01:00
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)
2005-02-04 15:21:35 +01:00
ngIRCd 0.8.2 (2005-01-26)
2005-02-03 10:11:43 +01:00
- 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)
2005-02-03 10:11:43 +01:00
- 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.
2004-09-04 21:39:24 +02:00
- Enhanced the "test suite": please have a look at src/testsuite/README!
ngIRCd 0.8.0 (2004-06-26)
2004-05-16 01:56:43 +02:00
2004-05-30 18:29:05 +02:00
- Fixed wrong buffer size calculation for results of the resolver.
ngircd 0.8.0-pre2 (2004-05-16)
2004-05-11 02:41:53 +02:00
- 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.
2004-05-30 18:29:05 +02:00
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".
2004-04-25 17:51:15 +02:00
- 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.
2004-02-05 15:27:16 +01:00
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.
2003-12-05 14:40:44 +01:00
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)
2003-08-30 22:37:15 +02:00
- 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.
2003-08-30 22:37:15 +02:00
- Enhanced test-suite and made it work on GNU/Hurd.
- Fixed minor typo in debug output :-)
ngIRCd 0.7.1 (2003-07-18)
2002-04-01 19:21:48 +02:00
- Included files to build Debian packages (located in "debian/").
- Updated config.guess and config.sub to newer upstream versions.
2003-07-09 20:48:49 +02:00
- NJOIN propagates user channel modes correctly again ... Upsa.
- Made Makefile more compatible with "make -j<n>".
2003-05-05 02:33:32 +02:00
- Added support for GNU/Hurd.
- Fixed a compiler warning related to an unnecessary assert().
2003-07-18 22:46:17 +02:00
- Enhanced VERSION command when using debug versions.
2003-04-22 22:42:28 +02:00
2003-05-01 12:17:24 +02:00
ngIRCd 0.7.0 (2003-05-01)
2003-07-18 22:46:17 +02:00
- "ServerName" is checked better now: a dot (".") is required.
- The KILL command verifies and logs more parameters.
2003-04-22 00:52:18 +02:00
2003-05-01 12:17:24 +02:00
ngIRCd 0.7.0-pre2 (2003-04-27)
2003-04-22 22:42:28 +02:00
- CVS build system fixes (made autogen.sh more portable).
2003-04-25 18:59:02 +02:00
- Fixed compilation and test-suite on Solaris (tested with 2.6).
2003-04-23 01:55:06 +02:00
- New documentation file "doc/Platforms.txt" describing the status of
ngIRCd on the various tested platforms.
2003-04-23 03:07:16 +02:00
- Test for broken GCC on Mac OS X and disable "-pedantic" in this case.
2003-04-25 17:05:40 +02:00
- Disable "-ansi" on Cygwin: system headers are incompatible.
2003-04-25 18:49:11 +02:00
- The server tried to connect to other servers only once when DNS or
socket failures occurred.
2003-04-27 13:48:06 +02:00
- Fixed --configtest: There is no variable "ServerPwd", it's "Password".
2003-04-22 00:52:18 +02:00
2003-04-22 22:42:28 +02:00
ngIRCd 0.7.0-pre1 (2003-04-22)
2002-12-26 18:19:55 +01:00
- 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).
2002-12-27 14:24:55 +01:00
- 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.
2002-12-27 14:24:55 +01:00
- 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.
2002-12-30 17:09:39 +01:00
- Compression code from "conn.[ch]" is now found in new "conn-zip.[ch]"
2002-12-30 18:16:39 +01:00
- Moved some connection functions from "conn.[ch]" to "conn-func.[ch]".
2002-12-31 17:18:07 +01:00
- 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.
2003-03-15 12:00:31 +01:00
- Restructured the documentation: Now the main language is English. The
german documentation has been removed (until there is a maintainer).
2003-01-08 23:29:14 +01:00
- Enhanced killing of users caused by a nickname collision.
2003-01-12 23:19:54 +01:00
- Better error detection for status code ("numerics") forwarding.
2003-01-13 13:22:16 +01:00
- Moved tool functions to own library: "libngtool".
2003-01-13 19:58:07 +01:00
- New command TRACE (you can trace only servers at the moment).
2003-01-15 14:45:59 +01:00
- New command HELP that lists all understood commands.
2003-03-04 14:46:53 +01:00
- There should no longer remain "unknown connections" (see e.g. LUSERS)
2003-01-15 15:30:44 +01:00
if an outgoing server link can't be established.
2003-01-31 19:29:06 +01:00
- Added AC_PREREQ(2.50) to configure.in for better autoconf compatibility.
- Conn_Close() now handles recursive calls for the same link correctly.
2003-02-23 13:02:39 +01:00
- ngIRCd can register itself with Rendezvous: to enable support pass the
2003-03-07 15:45:10 +01:00
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",
2003-03-07 15:45:10 +01:00
"--with-tcp-wrappers", and "--with-rendezvous".
2003-03-07 18:17:23 +01:00
- Better error reporting to clients on connect.
2003-03-10 02:00:00 +01:00
- Enhanced manual pages ngircd(8) and ngircd.conf(5).
2003-04-21 01:12:57 +02:00
- Documentation is now installed in $(datadir)/doc/ngircd.
2009-01-01 17:56:42 +01:00
- Enhanced handling of NJOIN in case of nick collisions.
2003-01-21 22:22:00 +01:00
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
2003-04-05 13:37:17 +02:00
are synchronized between servers now, too.
2003-01-21 22:22:00 +01:00
- MODE returns the key and user limit for channel members correctly now.
2003-01-17 20:10:11 +01:00
- Non-members of a channel could crash the server when trying to change
its modes or modes of its members.
2003-01-21 22:22:00 +01:00
- The server didn't validate weather a target user is a valid channel
member when changing his channel user modes which could crash ngIRCd.
2002-12-19 05:38:58 +01:00
Older changes (sorry, only available in german language):
2002-12-24 16:10:14 +01:00
ngIRCd 0.6.0, 2002-12-24
2002-12-18 17:28:36 +01:00
2002-12-24 16:10:14 +01:00
ngIRCd 0.6.0-pre2, 2002-12-23
2002-12-23 00:51:46 +01:00
- 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.
2002-12-24 16:10:14 +01:00
ngIRCd 0.6.0-pre1, 2002-12-18
2002-10-09 23:17:50 +02:00
- beim Schliessen einer Verbindung zeigt der Server nun vor dem ERROR
2002-10-09 15:42:32 +02:00
noch eine Statistik ueber die empfangene und gesendete Datenmenge an.
2002-11-04 21:04:18 +01:00
- 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.
2002-12-15 17:30:33 +01:00
- Mit der neuen Konfigurationsvariable "MaxConnections" (Sektion "Global")
2002-11-04 21:04:18 +01:00
kann die maximale Anzahl gleichzeitiger Verbindungen begrenzt werden.
Der Default ist -1, "unlimitiert".
2002-11-05 15:30:52 +01:00
- 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).
2002-11-11 14:07:27 +01:00
- Test-Suite und Dokumentation an A/UX angepasst.
2002-11-15 23:08:30 +01:00
- 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.
2002-11-22 19:01:59 +01:00
- Der Server kann nun zur Laufzeit die Konfiguration neu einlesen: dies
2002-11-23 00:30:36 +01:00
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".
2002-11-24 19:47:15 +01:00
- MOTD kann nun an andere Server geforwarded werden.
- IRC-Befehl "TIME" implementiert.
2002-11-27 00:20:19 +01:00
- 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.
2002-11-27 00:28:49 +01:00
- Handling der Schreibpuffer umgestellt: Server sollte schneller arbeiten.
2002-11-29 12:42:58 +01:00
- Prefix-Fehler werden besser protokolliert (mit verursachendem Befehl).
2002-11-28 15:32:18 +01:00
- 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.
2002-12-01 14:00:50 +01:00
- Source in weiteres Modul "irc-info" aufgespalten.
2002-11-30 23:18:09 +01:00
- Konfigurationsvariablen werden besser validiert: Laengen, Zahlen, ...
2002-12-18 15:19:58 +01:00
- neuen Befehl STATS begonnen: bisher unterstuetzt wird "l" und "m".
2002-12-02 14:44:36 +01:00
- bei ISON und USERHOST fehlte im Ergebnis-String der korrekte Absender.
2002-12-14 14:19:39 +01:00
- IRC Operatoren koennen nun mit KILL User toeten. Achtung: ein Grund muss
2002-12-06 18:03:46 +01:00
zwingend als zweiter Parameter angegeben werden!
2002-12-14 14:33:44 +01:00
- neue Konfigurations-Variable "MaxJoins": Hiermit kann die maximale Zahl
der Channels, in denen ein User Mitglied sein kann, begrent werden.
2002-12-15 16:54:11 +01:00
- neuer, deutlich flexiblerer Parser fuer den MODE Befehl.
2002-12-17 00:13:10 +01:00
- neue Channel-Modes l (User-Limit) und k (Channel-Key) implementiert.
2002-11-24 17:14:54 +01:00
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*
2002-11-23 17:19:38 +01:00
- 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.
2002-11-04 21:04:18 +01:00
2002-11-08 23:19:48 +01:00
ngIRCd 0.5.3, 08.11.2002
2002-11-04 21:04:18 +01:00
- NOTICE liefert nun wirklich nie mehr einen Fehler, auch dann nicht,
wenn der sendende Client noch gar nicht registriert ist.
2002-10-09 19:10:15 +02:00
- 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.
2002-10-09 23:17:50 +02:00
Das vermeidet "Connect-Orgien".
2002-10-09 19:10:15 +02:00
- einige Datentypen aufgeraumt: z.B. sind viele INT32s nun LONGs. Das ist
auf Platformen mit 8-Byte-Integern kompatibler.
2002-10-11 04:27:33 +02:00
- RPL_YOURHOST_MSG ist nun ircII- und RFC-kompatibel ;-)
2002-10-15 00:53:41 +02:00
- Segfault unter hoher Netzaktivitaet behoben: in Conn_Close() wird die
Connection-Struktur nun frueher als "ungueltig" markiert.
2002-10-04 14:43:27 +02:00
ngIRCd 0.5.2, 04.10.2002
2002-10-03 23:03:59 +02:00
- Buffer Overflow in Read_Resolver_Result() behoben.
2002-10-04 13:22:20 +02:00
- Format-String-Bugs, die zum Abbruch des Servers fuehrten, behoben.
2002-10-04 14:43:27 +02:00
- Maximale Laenge eines IRC-Prefix wurde falsch berechnet.
2002-10-03 18:10:43 +02:00
ngIRCd 0.5.1, 03.10.2002
2002-09-22 23:40:15 +02:00
- in RPL_YOURHOST_MSG wurde ein fehlerhafter Versionsstring geliefert.
2002-09-24 00:07:42 +02:00
- 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>").
2002-09-26 18:02:38 +02:00
- 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.
2002-10-01 11:57:26 +02:00
- 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>!
2002-10-03 18:04:29 +02:00
- Syntax von RPL_MYINFO_MSG korrigiert: liefert nun vier Parameter.
2002-09-17 19:30:09 +02:00
2002-10-03 18:10:43 +02:00
ngIRCd 0.5.0, 20.09.2002
2002-09-17 19:30:09 +02:00
2002-09-19 11:35:05 +02:00
- Dokumentation aktualisiert.
2002-09-19 12:19:32 +02:00
- Fehler bei Validierung von "AdminInfo2" behoben.
2002-09-20 17:45:02 +02:00
- Test der Flags fuer "ps" in der Testsuite verbessert, ist nun zu mehr
Plattformen kompatibler.
2002-09-17 19:30:09 +02:00
2002-10-03 18:10:43 +02:00
ngIRCd 0.5.0-pre2, 17.09.2002
2002-09-19 11:35:05 +02:00
- Fix in IRC_WriteStrServersPrefix() war "badly broken" -- behoben.
2002-09-17 19:30:09 +02:00
2002-10-03 18:10:43 +02:00
ngIRCd 0.5.0-pre1, 16.09.2002
2002-04-01 19:21:48 +02:00
- Manual-Pages ngircd.8 und ngircd.conf.5 begonnen.
2002-05-18 14:21:04 +02:00
- Wird der Netzwerk-Sniffer aktiviert (--sniffer), so schaltet der
ngIRCd nun automatisch in den Debug-Modus.
2002-07-08 19:54:57 +02:00
- auf Systemen, die inet_aton() nicht kennen (wie z.B. A/UX), kann der
ngIRCd nun dennoch auch aktiv Server-Links aufbauen.
2002-05-19 00:46:06 +02:00
- 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 :-)
2002-05-19 03:39:43 +02:00
- 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.
2002-05-21 02:09:53 +02:00
- "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.
2002-05-22 13:15:53 +02:00
- bei "--configtest" werden keine leere Abschnitte mehr ausgegeben.
2002-05-28 11:19:34 +02:00
- Source in weitere Module aufgespalten: lists, irc-op und resolve.
- #include's aufgeraeumt: Header includieren keine anderen mehr.
2002-06-01 16:40:59 +02:00
- KICK implementiert (bisher kann nur ein User aus einem Channel geckicked
werden, Listen, wir im RFC vorgesehen, werden bisher nicht unterstuetzt).
2002-09-08 02:56:33 +02:00
- INVITE, den Channel-Mode "i" sowie Invite-Lists ueber den MODE-Befehl
(setzen, erfragen und loeschen) implementiert.
2002-05-28 11:19:34 +02:00
- Source an ansi2knr fuer pre-ANSI-Compiler angepasst; ansi2knr in Source-
2002-05-30 18:54:04 +02:00
Tree aufgenommen und in Build-System integriert; der ngIRCd compiliert
nun z.B. unter A/UX mit dem nativen Compiler von Apple.
2002-06-01 16:40:59 +02:00
- TOPIC lieferte bei unbekanntem Channel einen falschen Fehlercode.
2002-09-16 12:00:28 +02:00
- LIST versteht nun Wildcards und kann an andere Server geforwarded werden.
2002-07-25 14:34:50 +02:00
- 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.
2002-09-02 17:00:07 +02:00
- neue Konfigurationsoption "OperCanUseMode" (Sektion "Global"):
2002-09-02 23:08:02 +02:00
ist sie aktiv, koennen IRC-Operatoren immer Channel-Modes setzen.
2002-09-04 01:59:37 +02:00
- Dokumentation des neuen IRC+-Protokolls begonnen: doc/Protocol.txt
2002-09-02 21:09:43 +02:00
- Protokoll- und Server-ID bei PASS-Befehlen auf neues Format umgestellt;
bei empfangenen PASS-Befehlen werden diese zudem nun auch ausgewertet.
2002-09-02 23:08:02 +02:00
Die unterstuetzten Flags sind in doc/Protocol.txt beschrieben.
- mit dem neuen Befehl CHANINFO synchronisieren Server, die das IRC+-
2002-09-04 01:59:37 +02:00
Protokoll unterstuetzen, Channel-Modes und Topics.
2002-09-07 20:01:40 +02:00
- neue Option "--disable-ircplus" fuer das configure-Script, um das
IRC+-Protokoll abzuschalten (per Default ist es aktiviert).
2002-09-08 02:56:33 +02:00
- Ban-Lists (setzen, erfragen und loeschen) implementiert.
2002-09-10 01:17:04 +02:00
- 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).
2002-09-16 12:00:28 +02:00
- 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.
2002-09-07 20:01:40 +02:00
2002-06-11 23:53:23 +02:00
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].
2002-04-29 16:11:51 +02:00
2002-05-31 16:22:22 +02:00
ngIRCd 0.4.2, 29.04.2002
2002-04-29 16:11:51 +02:00
2002-04-14 16:03:45 +02:00
- LUSERS verzaehlt sich bei eigenen Server-Links nicht mehr.
- QUIT wird nun auch von noch nicht registrierten Clients akzeptiert.
2002-04-23 21:53:01 +02:00
- IRC-Funktion LIST implementiert; bisher werden allerdings noch keine
2002-06-26 17:47:08 +02:00
Wildcards (bis auf "*") unterstuetzt.
2002-04-08 19:53:31 +02:00
ngIRCd 0.4.1, 08.04.2002
2002-04-08 03:25:44 +02:00
- 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
2002-04-08 19:53:31 +02:00
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.
2002-04-01 19:21:48 +02:00
ngIRCd 0.4.0, 01.04.2002
2002-03-03 20:41:59 +01:00
- IRC-Befehle nochmal auf weitere Source-Dateien aufgespalten.
- WHO implementiert (bisher ohne komplette Unterstuetzung von Masks).
2002-03-04 02:06:03 +01:00
- Der AWAY-Mode wurde nicht ueber mehrere Server-Links weitergegeben.
- stderr wird nun in eine Datei umgelenkt (/tmp/ngircd-<PID>.err).
2002-03-10 18:19:29 +01:00
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.
2002-03-10 19:46:46 +01:00
- 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]).
2002-03-10 23:41:52 +01:00
- IRC_PING() ist, wenn nicht im "strict RFC"-Mode, toleranter und ak-
zeptiert beliebig viele Parameter (z.B. BitchX sendet soetwas).
2002-03-12 16:35:55 +01:00
- 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/.
2002-03-25 18:24:03 +01:00
- Clients und Channels werden nicht mehr ueber ihren Namen, sondern
einen Hash-Wert gesucht: sollte deutlich schneller sein.
2002-03-27 20:01:40 +01:00
- neuer Kommandozeilen-Parameter "--configtest": die Konfiguration wird
gelesen und dann die verwendeten Werte angezeigt.
2002-03-27 21:51:45 +01:00
- Client-Mode "s" (Server Notices) implementiert.
2002-03-28 15:15:19 +01:00
- mit dem neuen Kommandozeilen-Parameter "--config"/"-f" kann eine
alternative Konfigurationsdatei angegeben werden.
2002-03-30 00:41:23 +01:00
- 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.
2002-03-03 20:41:59 +01:00
2002-03-03 14:07:01 +01:00
ngIRCd 0.3.0, 02.03.2002
2002-02-18 00:38:13 +01:00
- bekommt der Server ein HUP-Signal, so startet er neu -- genau so, wie
er auf den IRC-Befehl RESTART reagiert.
2002-02-19 21:08:54 +01:00
- 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 ...).
2002-02-19 21:36:40 +01:00
- das Signal-Flag SA_RESTART wird nur noch gesetzt, wenn es auf dem
2002-02-19 21:32:11 +01:00
jeweiligen System auch definiert ist.
2002-02-19 21:36:40 +01:00
- bei ausgehenden Verbindungen wird nun der Ziel-Port protokolliert.
- neue Befehle VERSION und KILL implementiert.
2002-02-22 00:59:52 +01:00
- 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 ...
2002-02-25 12:47:30 +01:00
- Anpassungen an A/UX: gehoert nun auch zu den unterstuetzten Platformen.
2002-02-25 14:23:31 +01:00
- WHOIS wird nicht mehr automatisch an den "Original-Server" weiterge-
leitet: war eh nicht RFC-konform und machte mit Clients Probleme.
2002-02-25 18:47:41 +01:00
- 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 ...
2002-02-27 01:51:31 +01:00
- NAMES korrigiert und vollstaendig implementiert.
2002-02-27 04:08:38 +01:00
- SQUIT wird auf jeden Fall geforwarded, zudem besseres Logging.
2002-02-27 17:05:31 +01:00
- Ist ein Nick bei der User-Registrierung bereits belegt, nimmt der
Server nun korrekt weitere NICK-Befehle an und verwendet diese.
2002-02-27 18:07:02 +01:00
- PRIVMSG beachtet nun die Channel-Modes "n" und "m".
2002-02-27 20:02:47 +01:00
- AWAY implementiert. PRIVMSG, MODE, USERHOST und WHOIS angepasst.
2002-02-27 21:55:56 +01:00
- der ngIRCd unterstuetzt nun Channel-Topics (TOPIC-Befehl).
- ausgehende Server-Verbindungen werden nun asynchron connectiert und
2002-03-02 01:25:44 +01:00
blockieren nicht mehr den ganzen Server, wenn die Gegenseite nicht
erreicht werden kann (bis zum Timeout konnten Minuten vergehen!).
2002-03-02 01:29:04 +01:00
- Wert der Konfigurations-Variable "ConnectRetry" wird besser beachtet.
2002-03-02 02:36:35 +01:00
- Channel- und Nicknames werden nun ordentlich validiert.
2002-02-18 00:38:13 +01:00
2002-02-17 22:59:56 +01:00
ngIRCd 0.2.1, 17.02.2002
2002-02-17 18:18:59 +01:00
- NICK korrigiert: es werden nun auch alle "betroffenen" User informiert.
2002-02-17 20:08:19 +01:00
- configure-Script erweitert, u.a. bessere Anpassung an BeOS: dort wird
nun die "libbe" zum ngIRCd gelinkt, somit funktioniert auch syslog.
2002-02-17 18:47:01 +01:00
- Fehlerhafte bzw. noch nicht verstandene Modes werden nun ausfuehrlicher
an den Client geliefert.
2002-02-17 18:18:59 +01:00
2002-02-15 15:35:55 +01:00
ngIRCd 0.2.0, 15.02.2002
2002-02-11 01:58:12 +01:00
- 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.
2002-02-13 18:52:37 +01:00
- 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.
2002-02-14 00:06:07 +01:00
- Nach dem Connect eines Users werden LUSERS-Informationen angezeigt.
2002-02-11 01:58:12 +01:00
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).
2002-01-21 01:00:54 +01:00
- Hilfetext korrigiert: --help und --version waren vertauscht, die
Option --sniffer wurde gar nicht erwaehnt.
2002-01-23 15:05:20 +01:00
- 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.
2002-01-16 23:35:28 +01:00
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
2002-01-16 23:55:45 +01:00
- Client-Modes von Remote-Servern wurden nicht korrekt uerbernommen.
2002-01-16 23:35:28 +01:00
2002-01-06 16:40:01 +01:00
ngIRCd 0.0.2, 06.01.2002
2002-01-02 03:52:09 +01:00
- Struktur der Konfigurationsdatei geaendert: sie ist nun "Samba like",
d.h. sie besteht aus Abschnitten (siehe "doc/sample-ngircd.conf").
2002-01-05 21:08:34 +01:00
- Es koennen mehrere IRC-Server-Opertatoren konfiguriert werden.
2002-01-02 03:52:09 +01:00
- Zombies der Resolver-Prozesse werden nun ordentlich "getoetet".
2002-01-03 03:28:20 +01:00
- NICK kann nun die Gross- und Kleinschreibung eines Nicks aendern.
2002-01-04 02:18:38 +01:00
- ein Server-Passwort ist nun konfigurierbar.
2002-01-06 16:40:01 +01:00
- neue Befehle: ERROR, SERVER, NJOIN (nur als "Fake"), SQUIT.
- Asynchroner Resolver Hostname->IP implementiert.
2002-01-05 21:08:34 +01:00
- 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
2002-01-06 16:40:01 +01:00
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.
2002-01-02 03:52:09 +01:00
ngIRCd 0.0.1, 31.12.2001
- erste oeffentliche Version von ngIRCd als "public preview" :-)
