ngIRCd 22

|

ngIRCd 22~rc1
|
||||
- Fix the function which generates complete "IRC masks" from user input,
|
||||
don't destroy the source buffer and use all provided parts (nick, user,
|
||||
host name). This fixes GLINEs/KLINEs from not working in some situations.
|
||||
- Increase MAX_SERVERS from 16 to 64: There are installations out there
|
||||
that would like to configure more than 16 links per server, so increase
|
||||
this limit. Best would be to get rid of MAX_SERVERS altogether and make
|
||||
if fully dynamic, but start with this quick and dirty hack ...
|
||||
- Debian: Don't adjust path names that are correct by default and correctly
|
||||
set and use "docdir".
|
||||
- Update config.guess and config.sub to recent versions.
|
||||
- Test suite/platformtest.sh: Detect when tests have been skipped.
|
||||
- doc/Bopm.txt: Update "connregex" and "kline" for current ngIRCd.
|
||||
- Allow "DefaultUserModes" to set all possible modes, including modes only
|
||||
settable by IRC Operators.
|
||||
- Spoofed prefixes: Really kill connection on non-server links.
|
||||
- Implement user mode "F": "relaxed flood protection". Clients with mode "F"
|
||||
set are allowed to send data to the daemon. This mode is only settable by
|
||||
IRC Operators and can cause problems in the network -- so be careful and
|
||||
only set it on "trusted" clients!
|
||||
User mode "F" is used by Bahamut for this purpose, for example.
|
||||
- Handle "throttling" in a single function: ngIRCd implements "command
|
||||
throttling" and "bps throttling" (bytes per second). The states are
|
||||
detected in different functions, Conn_Handler() and Read_Request(), but
|
||||
handle the actual "throttling" in a common function: this enables us to
|
||||
guarantee consistent behavior and to disable throttling for special
|
||||
connections in only one place
|
||||
- Use server password when PAM is compiled in but disabled.
|
||||
- Streamline punctuation of log messages.
|
||||
- Return ISUPPORT(005) numerics on "VERSION". This is how ircd-seven,
|
||||
Charybdis, Hybrid, and InspIRCd behave, for example.
|
||||
- configure: Only link "contrib/Debian" if it exists, which isn't the case
|
||||
on "VPATH builds", for example.
|
||||
- Show the account name in WHOIS. This uses the same numeric as Charybdis
|
||||
and ircu families: WHOISLOGGEDIN(330).
|
||||
- Pattern matching: Remove "range matching" in our pattern matching code
|
||||
using the "[...]" syntax, because [ and ] are valid characters in nick
|
||||
names and one has to quote them currently using the "\" character, which
|
||||
is quite unexpected for users.
|
||||
- platformtest.sh: New option "-x", don't regenerate build system and
|
||||
allow using separate source and build trees.
|
||||
- Test suite: explicitly enable glibc memory checking.
|
||||
- Make "MODE -k" handling more robust and compatible, send "fake '*' key"
|
||||
in all replies.
|
||||
- Update configure.ng: ngIRCd requires GNU autoconf 2.61 for generating its
|
||||
build system, so update the build system accordingly and implement all
|
||||
changes that autoupdate(1) suggests: Update AC_PREREQ and AC_INIT, use
|
||||
AC_LINK_IFELSE, AC_RUN_IFELSE, and AC_COMPILE_IFELSE, and remove
|
||||
AC_TYPE_SIGNAL (we don't use RETSIGTYPE).
|
||||
- portabtest: Actually test the functions snprintf(), strlcpy(), strlcat(),
|
||||
and vsnprintf() for correctness, not only existence (which was quite
|
||||
useless, because if they weren't available, the program could not have
|
||||
been linked at all ...).
|
||||
- Implement new configuration option "Network": it is used to set the
|
||||
(completely optional) "network name", to which this instance of the
|
||||
daemon belongs. When set, this name is used in the ISUPPORT(005) numeric
|
||||
which is sent to all clients connecting to the server after logging in.
|
||||
- Update doc/Platforms.txt.
|
||||
- Various code cleanups, remove unused code, streamline error handling.
|
||||
Remove all imp.h and exp.h header files, support non-standard vsnprintf()
|
||||
return codes, and fix some K&R C portability issues. Streamline
|
||||
DEBUG_ARRAY, DEBUG_BUFFER, DEBUG_IO, DEBUG_ZIP definitions.
|
||||
- Increase penalty time to 10 seconds when handling OPER commands with an
|
||||
invalid password.
|
||||
|
||||
ngIRCd 21.1 (2014-03-25)
|
||||
|
||||
- Don't ignore but use the server password when PAM is compiled in but
