ngIRCd Release 19
- 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.
- 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!
- Implement IRC commands "GLINE" and "KLINE" to ban users. G-Lines are
synchronized between server on peering, K-Lines are local only.
- Xcode: update project file for Xcode 4.2.
- 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.
- 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 ...
- 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.
ngIRCd Release 18 (2011-07-10)
- Add preliminary ngIRCd protocol module for Anope 1.9 to contrib/Anope/.
2011-06-29 10:22:46 +02:00
ngIRCd 18~rc2 (2011-06-29)
- 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)
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.
- 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.
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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Terminate incoming connections on HTTP commands "GET" and "POST".
- New configuration option "CloakHost": when set, this hostname is used for
every client instead of the real DNS hostname (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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
2010-12-19 15:59:00 +01:00
ngIRCd Release 17.1 (2010-12-19)
- Don't log critical (or worse) messages to stderr
- Remove "error file" when compiled with debug code enabled
- New numeric 329: get channel creation time on "MODE #chan" commands
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
2010-10-25 18:51:32 +02:00
ngIRCd 17~rc2 (2010-10-25)
- 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.
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.
- Implement user mode "x": hostname cloaking (closes: #102).
- 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.
- Allow IRC ops to change channel modes even without OperServerMode set.
- Allow IRC operators to use MODE command on any channel (closes: #100).
- New configuration option "NoPAM" to disable PAM.
- Implement asynchronous user authentication using PAM, please see the
file doc/PAM.txt for details.
2010-10-11 23:25:48 +02:00
- 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.
- Show SSL status in WHOIS output, numeric 275.
2010-05-02 15:25:35 +02:00
ngIRCd Release 16 (2010-05-02)
2010-04-25 13:13:11 +02:00
ngIRCd 16~rc2 (2010-04-25)
- Enhace 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)
- 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.
- Remove limit on max number of configured irc operators.
- 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)
2009-10-03 16:45:09 +02:00
2009-10-15 10:04:34 +02:00
ngIRCd 15~rc1 (2009-10-15)
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
enables remote IRC operators to use the IRC commands SQUIT and CONNECT
on the local server.
- 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.
2009-05-05 12:58:51 +02:00
ngIRCd Release 14.1 (2009-05-05)
- Security: fix remotely triggerable crash in SSL/TLS code.
- Debian: build ngircd-full-dbg package.
- Allow ping timeout quit messages to show the timeout value.
2009-04-20 11:36:27 +02:00
ngIRCd Release 14 (2009-04-20)
2009-03-03 17:59:43 +01:00
2009-03-29 17:16:02 +02:00
ngIRCd 14~rc1 (2009-03-29)
2009-03-29 17:05:37 +02:00
- Allow creation of persistent modeless channels.
- The INFO command reports the compile time now (if available).
2009-03-03 17:59:43 +01:00
- 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.
2008-12-25 23:18:29 +01:00
ngIRCd Release 13 (2008-12-25)
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.
- New configuration option "NoIdent" to disable IDENT lookups even if the
daemon is compiled with IDENT support.
ngIRCd 0.12.1 (2008-07-09)
- Add option aliases -V (for --version) and -h (for --help).
2009-01-01 17:56:42 +01:00
- Make Listen parameter a comma-separated list of addresses. This also
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)
ngIRCd 0.12.0-pre2 (2008-04-29)
2009-01-01 17:56:42 +01:00
- IPv6: Add config options to disable ipv4/ipv6 support.
ngIRCd 0.12.0-pre1 (2008-04-20)
- Add IPv6 support.
- Install a LaunchDaemon script to start/stop ngIRCd on Mac OS X.
- Implemented IRC commands INFO, SUMMON (dummy), and USERS (dummy) and
enhanced test suite to check these commands. (Dana Dahlstrom)
- IRC_WHO now supports search patterns and will test this against user
nickname/servername/hostname, etc. as required by RFC 2812, Section 3.6.1.
(reported by 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)
2008-02-05 13:02:59 +01:00
ngIRCd 0.11.0 (2008-01-15)
2008-01-02 12:31:48 +01:00
- Add support for /STAT u (server uptime) command.
- New [Server] configuration Option "Bind" allows to specify
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!
- Numeric 317: implemented "signon time" (displayed in WHOIS result).
- 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)
- Added support for the WALLOPS command. Usage is restricted to IRC
operators.
ngIRCd 0.10.2 (2007-06-08)
2007-04-08 13:39:08 +02:00
- Predefined channel configuration now allows specification of channel key
(mode k) and maximum user count (mode l): variables "Key" and "MaxUsers".
- When using the epoll() IO interface, compile in the select() interface as
well and fall back to it when epoll() isn't available on runtime.
- Added support for IO APIs "poll()" and "/dev/poll".
ngIRCd 0.10.1 (2006-12-17)
- Allow PASS syntax defined in RFC 1459 for server links, too.
- New configuration option "PredefChannelsOnly": if set, clients can only
join predefined channels.
2006-10-01 19:23:36 +02:00
ngIRCd 0.10.0 (2006-10-01)
2006-10-01 19:23:36 +02:00
ngIRCd 0.10.0-pre1 (2006-08-02)
- Enhanced DIE to accept a single parameter ("comment text") which is sent
to all locally connected clients before the server goes down.
- JOIN now supports more than one channel key at a time.
- Implemented numeric "333": Time and user name who set a channel topic.
- 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 0.9.0 (2005-07-24)
- Never run with root privileges but always switch the user ID.
- Make "netsplit" messages RFC compliant.
2005-05-16 14:25:15 +02:00
- Implemented the IRC function "WHOWAS".
- 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.
- 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>.
- 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".
ngIRCd 0.8.0 (2004-06-26)
- 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.
- 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 0.7.5 (2003-07-11)
- 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.
- Added new configuration variable "Listen" to bind all listening
sockets of the server to a single IP address.
2003-08-30 22:37:15 +02:00
ngIRCd 0.7.1 (2003-07-18)
2002-04-01 19:21:48 +02:00
2003-06-08 13:11:20 +02:00
- Added support for GNU/Hurd.
2003-04-22 00:52:18 +02:00
2003-06-08 13:11:20 +02:00
ngIRCd 0.7.0 (2003-05-01)
2003-04-22 00:52:18 +02:00
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.
2003-03-04 15:12:30 +01:00
- New command TRACE (you can trace only servers at the moment).
- New command HELP that lists all understood commands.
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
2005-04-13 23:40:49 +02:00
instead of "--enable"/"--disable": "--without-syslog", "--without-zlib",
2003-03-07 15:45:10 +01:00
"--with-tcp-wrappers", and "--with-rendezvous".
2003-04-21 01:12:57 +02:00
- Enhanced manual pages ngircd(8) and ngircd.conf(5).
- Documentation is now installed in $(datadir)/doc/ngircd.

Older news (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
2002-11-03 00:11:38 +01:00
- beim Schliessen einer Verbindung zeigt der Server nun vor dem ERROR
noch eine Statistik ueber die empfangene und gesendete Datenmenge an.
- Connection-Strukturen werden nun "pool-weise" verwaltet; der Pool wird
bei Bedarf bis zu einem konfigurierten Limit vergroessert.
- Mit der neuen Konfigurationsvariable "MaxConnections" (Sekion "Global")
kann die maximale Anzahl gleichzeitiger Verbindungen begrenzt werden.
Der Default ist -1, "unlimitiert".
2002-11-23 16:04:28 +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).
- Server identifizieren sich nun mit asynchronen Passwoertern, d.h. das
2002-11-23 16:04:28 +01:00
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.
2002-11-27 00:28:49 +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.
2002-12-18 13:19:07 +01:00
- neue Konfigurations-Variable "MaxJoins": Hiermit kann die maximale Zahl
der Channels, in denen ein User Mitglied sein kann, begrent werden.
- neue Channel-Modes l (User-Limit) und k (Channel-Key) implementiert.

dem "nativen" (ggf. pre-ANSI) Compiler.
2002-05-31 16:20:51 +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,
2002-09-19 11:27:26 +02:00
wenn kein User mehr im Channel ist.
- neue IRC-Befehle: KICK, INVITE, ADMIN, CHANINFO; LIST wurde erweitert.
Mit dem neuen Befehl CHANINFO synchronisieren Server, die das IRC+-
2002-09-19 11:27:26 +02:00
Protokoll unterstuetzen, Channel-Modes und Topics. Fuer den ADMIN-Befehl
gibt es neue Konfigurationsoptionen (Sektion "Global"): "AdminInfo1",
"AdminInfo2" und "AdminEMail".
- Invite- und Ban-Lists implementiert.
2002-09-16 13:03:05 +02:00
- neue Konfigurationsoption "OperCanUseMode" (Sektion "Global"):
ist sie aktiv, koennen IRC-Operatoren immer Channel-Modes setzen.
2002-09-20 17:26:26 +02:00
- "Test-Suite" begonnen: mit "make check" wird sie durchlaufen.

- WHO implementiert (bisher ohne komplette Unterstuetzung von Masks).
- stderr wird nun in eine Datei umgelenkt (/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.
2002-03-10 19:46:46 +01:00
- 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.
2002-03-27 20:01:40 +01:00
- 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 die dann 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.
2002-03-03 20:41:59 +01:00
2002-03-03 14:07:01 +01:00
ngIRCd 0.3.0, 02.03.2002
2002-02-19 21:15:17 +01:00
- bekommt der Server ein HUP-Signal, so startet er neu -- genau so, wie
er auf den IRC-Befehl RESTART reagiert.
- neuer Kommandozeilen-Schalter "--passive" (-p): wird er angegeben, so
verbindet sich der ngIRCd nicht mehr automatisch zu anderen Servern.
Zum Debuggen manchmal ganz praktisch :-)
2002-02-27 01:51:31 +01:00
- neue Befehle VERSION und KILL implementiert. NAMES korrigiert.
2002-02-25 12:47:30 +01:00

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.
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
- 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 ;-)
Dadurch zum Teil groessere Aenderungen an bisherigen Funktionen.
- neue Befehle fuer Channles: JOIN, PART und NJOIN.
- FAQ.txt in doc/ begonnen.
2002-01-16 23:35:28 +01:00

"Sub-Server" haben, also sowohl als Leaf-Node als auch Hub in einem
IRC-Netzwerk arbeiten.
- WHOIS wird nun immer an den "Original-Server" weitergeleitet.
- Parser handhabt Leerzeichen zw. Parametern nun etwas "lockerer".
2002-01-16 23:35:28 +01:00
- Kommandozeilen-Parser: Debug- und No-Daemon-Modus, Hilfe.
- ngIRCd wandelt sich nun in einen Daemon (Hintergrundprozess) um.
- neue Befehle: LUSERS, LINKS.
2002-01-06 16:40:01 +01:00
ngIRCd 0.0.2, 06.01.2002
- neuer Aufbau der Konfigurationsdatei,
- mehrere IRC-Operatoren koennen konfiguriert werden,
- Server-Links teilweise implementiert. Bisher kann der ngIRCd jedoch
nur "leafed server" sein, d.h. keine "Client-Server" haben.
2002-01-02 03:52:09 +01:00
ngIRCd 0.0.1, 31.12.2001
