ngIRCd 21
- The numeric replies of some commands became split too early which
resulted in more numeric reply lines than necessary.
- Implement a new configuration option "IncludeDir" in the "[Options]"
section that can be used to specify a directory which can contain
further configuration files and configuration file snippets matching
the pattern "*.conf". These files are read in after the main server
configuration file ("ngircd.conf" by default) has been read in and
parsed. The default is "$SYSCONFDIR/ngircd.conf.d", so that it is
possible to adjust the configuration only by placing additional files
into this directory. (Closes bug #157)
- Fix use-after-free in the Lists_CheckReason() function, which is used
to check if a client is a member of a particular ban/invite/... list.
- Xcode: fix detection of host OS, vendor, and CPU type.
- OS X PackageMaker: use relative path names in project files and package
with correct file permissions (requires root privileges on "make").
- Add Travis-CI configuration file (".travis.yml") to project.
- Look for possible cloaked Masks in Lists. Users with +x usermode can
be banned with their cloaked hostname now.
- Don't read SSL client data before DNS resolver is finished which could
have resulted in discarding the resolved client hostname and IDENT
reply afterwards, because in some situations (timing dependent) the
NICK and USER commands could have already been read in from the client,
stored in the buffer, and been processed.
Thanks to Julian Brost for reporting the issue and testing, and to
Federico G. Schwindt <fgsch@lodoss.net> for helping to debug it!
- Increase password length limit to 64 characters. (Closes bug #154)
- doc/Services.txt: Update Anope status and URL.
- Clean up Xcode project file, remove outdated files, add missing ones.
- Update Doxygen configuration file.
- configure: search for iconv_open as well as libiconv_open, because
on some installations iconv_open() is actually libiconv_open().
iconv_open() is the glibc version while libiconv_open() is the
libiconv version, now both variants are supported. (Closes bug #151)
- ngIRCd now accepts user names including "@" characters, saves the
unmodified name for authentication but stores only the part in front
of the "@" character as "IRC user name". And the latter is how
ircd2.11, Bahamut, and irc-seven behave as well. (Closes bug #155)
- Lots of IRC "information functions" like ADMIN, INFO, ... now accept
server masks and names of connected users (in addition to server names)
for specifying the target server of the command. (Closes bug #153)
- Implement a new configuration option "IdleTimeout" in the "[Limits]"
section of the configuration file which can be used to set a timeout
in seconds after which the whole daemon will shutdown when no more
connections are left active after handling at least one client.
The default is 0, "never".
This can be useful for testing or when ngIRCd is started using "socket
activation" with systemd(8), for example.
- Implement support for systemd(8) "socket activation".
- contrib/README: add description for more files.
- Enable WHOIS to display information about IRC Services using the new
numeric 310(RPL_WHOISSERVICE) This numeric is used for this purpose by
InspIRCd, for example -- but as usual, other numerics are in use, too,
like 613 in UltimateIRCd ...
Please note that neither the Operator (+o) not the "bot status" (+B)
of an IRC service id displayed in the output.
- Exit message: use singular & plural :-)
- Add missing punctuation marks in log messages and adjust some
severity levels.
- AUTHORS file: Update list of contributors.
- Update systemd(8) example configuration files in ./contrib/ directory:
the "ngircd.service" file now uses the "forking" service type which
enhances the log messages shown by "systemctl status ngircd.service",
and the new "ngircd.socket" file configures a systemd socket that
configures a socket for ngIRCd and launches the daemon on demand.
- Enhance help system and the HELP command: now a "help text file" can be
set using the new configuration option "HelpFile" ("global" section),
which is read in and parsed on server startup and configuration reload,
and then is used to output individual help texts to specific topics.
Please see the file ./doc/Commands.txt for details.
