ngIRCd
|
||||
|
||||
- Implemented hashed cloaked hostnames for both the "CloakHost" and
|
||||
- Implement user mode "b", "block messages": when a user has set mode "b",
|
||||
all private messages and notices to this user are blocked if they don't
|
||||
originate from a registered user, an IRC Op, server or service. The
|
||||
originator gets an error numeric sent back in this case,
|
||||
ERR_NONONREG_MSG (486), which is used by UnrealIRCd, too. (Closes #144)
|
||||
- WHOIS: Not only show RPL_WHOISHOST_MSG to local IRC operators, but show
|
||||
it to all IRC operators in the network. And don't show it to anybody if
|
||||
the "more privacy" configuration option is enabled. (Closes #134)
|
||||
- Test suite: make expect scripts more verbose displaying dots for each
|
||||
reply of the server that it is waiting for.
|
||||
- WHOIS: Implement numeric RPL_WHOISMODES_MSG (379) and show user modes in
|
||||
the reply of the WHOIS command for the user himself or, if MorePrivacy
|
||||
isn't set, for request initiated by an IRC operator. (Closes #129)
|
||||
- Implement channel mode "V" (invite disallow): If the new channel mode
|
||||
"V" is set, the INVITE command becomes invalid and all clients get the
|
||||
new ERR_NOINVITE_MSG (518) reply. (Closes #143)
|
||||
- KICK-protect IRC services.
|
||||
- Implement channel mode "Q" and user mode "q": Both modes protect users
|
||||
from channel kicks: only IRC operators and servers can kick users having
|
||||
mode "q" or in channels with mode "Q". (Closes #141)
|
||||
- Debian: require "telnet" or "telnet-ssl" for building and enable
|
||||
CHARCONV in ngircd-full[-dbg] variants.
|
||||
- Send RPL_REHASHING (382) numeric if a REHASH command was accepted.
|
||||
- Fix spelling and variable names in some log messages.
|
||||
- Allow users to "cloak" their hostname only when the configuration
|
||||
variable "CloakHostModeX" (introduced in 19.2) is set. Otherwise, only
|
||||
IRC operators, other servers, and services are allowed to set the user
|
||||
mode "+x": this prevents regular users from changing their hostmask to
|
||||
the name of the IRC server itself, which confused quite a few people ;-)
|
||||
(Closes #133)
|
||||
- New configuration option "OperChanPAutoOp": If disabled, IRC operators
|
||||
don't become channel operators in persistent channels when joining.
|
||||
Enabled by default, which has been the behavior of ngIRCd up to this
|
||||
patch. (Closes #135)
|
||||
- Allow IRC operators to see secret (+s) channels in LIST command as long
|
||||
as the "MorePrivacy" configuration option isn't enabled in the
|
||||
configuration file. (Closes #136)
|
||||
- Enhance build system: Support new (>=1.12) and old (<=1.11) GNU automake
|
||||
versions, update checks for required and optional features, enable
|
||||
colored test output of automake (if available), rename configure.in to
|
||||
more modern configure.ac, include .mailmap and all build-system files in
|
||||
distribution archives and no longer require a GIT tree to detect the
|
||||
correct version string.
|
||||
- Update documentation: add doc/Contributing.txt and include version
|
||||
numbers in doc/Modes.txt.
|
||||
- Free all listen ports on initialization: now listen ports can be
|
||||
reconfigured on runtime using a configuration reload.
|
||||
- Initialize SSL when needed only, and disable SSL on errors.
|
||||
- Implement new (optional) IRC+ "CHARCONV" command to set a client
|
||||
character set that the server translates all messages to/from UTF-8.
|
||||
This feature requires the "libiconv" library and must be enabled using
|
||||
the new "--with-iconv" option of the ./configure script. See
|
||||
doc/Protocol.txt for details. (Closes #109)
|
||||
- Allow limited punctuation in usernames, for better PAM integration.
|
||||
- Correctly re-initialize signal handlers on RESTART commands.
|
||||
- Show a warning on startup if the configuration file is not a full path:
|
||||
ngIRCd is a long-running process and changes its working directory to
|
||||
"/" to not block mounted filesystems and the like when running as daemon
|
||||
("not in the foreground"); therefore the path to the configuration file
|
||||
must be relative to "/" (or the chroot() directory), which basically is
|
||||
"not relative", to ensure that "kill -HUP" and the "REHASH" command work
|
||||
as expected later on. (Closes #127)
|
||||
- Make the "&SERVER" channel definable in a [Channel] configuration block,
|
||||
which enables server operators to overwrite the built-in topic and
|
||||
channel modes. (Closes #131)
|
||||
- Don't limit list size of "WHO #channel" commands, because it makes no
|
||||
sense to not return all the users in that channel, so I removed the
|
||||
check. But if there are more than MAX_RPL_WHO(25) replies, the client
|
||||
requesting the list will be "penalized" one second more, then 2 in
|
||||
total. (Closes #125)
|
||||
- Make ngIRCd buildable using the kqueue() IO interface on FreeBSD 4.x.
|
||||
- Fix the "NoticeAuth" configuration option when using SSL connections and
|
||||
enhance the message to show the hostname and IDENT reply of the client.
|
||||
- Introduce numeric RPL_HOSTHIDDEN_MSG (396): This numeric is sent to the
|
||||
client each time it changes its displayed hostname using "MODE +/-x",
|
||||
and if "CloakHost" is set right after the MOTD has been sent.
|
||||
- Fix USERHOST not displaying the correctly cloaked hostname.
|
||||
- Implement user mode "B" ("Bot flag"): it is settable and unsettable by
|
||||
every (non-restricted) client. This is how Unreal and InspIRCd do
|
||||
behave, and so do we :-)
|
||||
- Dynamically allocate memory for connection passwords: This a) saves
|
||||
memory for clients not using passwords at all and b) allows for
|
||||
"arbitrarily" long passwords.
|
||||
- Implement channel mode "M": Only the server, identified users and IRC
|
||||
operators are able to talk in such a channel.
|
||||
- Block nicknames that are reserved for services and are defined using the
|
||||
configuration variable "ServiceMask" in "Server" blocks; And this
|
||||
variable now can handle more than one mask separated by commas.
|
||||
- Now "make uninstall" removes the installed "ngircd.conf" file, if it is
|
||||
still equal to our "sample-ngircd.conf" file and therefore hasn't been
|
||||
modified by the user. If it has been modified, it isn't removed and a
|
||||
notice is displayed to the user. And "make install" now displays a
|
||||
message when no ngircd.conf file exists and the "sample-ngircd.conf"
|
||||
file will be installed as a starting point.
|
||||
- Add contrib/ngircd.service, a systemd service file for ngircd.
|
||||
- Implemented XOP channel user modes: "Half Op" ("+h", prefix "%") can set
|
||||
the channel modes +imntvIbek and kick all +v and normal users; "Admin"
|
||||
("+a", prefix "&") can set channel modes +imntvIbekoRsz and kick all +o,
|
||||
+h, +v and normal users; and "Owner" ("+q", prefix "~") can set channel
|
||||
modes +imntvIbekoRsz and kick all +a, +o, +h, +v and normal users.
|
||||
- Implement hashed cloaked hostnames for both the "CloakHost" and
|
||||
"CloakHostModeX" configuration options: now the admin can use the new
|
||||
'%x' placeholder to insert a hashed version of the clients hostname,
|
||||
and the new configuration option "CloakHostSalt" defines the salt for
|
||||
the hash function. When "CloakHostSalt" is not set (the default), a
|
||||
random salt will be generated after each server restart.
|
||||
random salt will be generated after each server restart. (Closes #133)
