Now ngIRCd requires at least GNU autoconf 2.61 and automake 1.10, the
requirements of commit 67e882d4 have been too restrictive:
19.2 67e882d4 now
---------- --------- --------- ---------
autoconf >=2.50 >=2.67 >=2.61
automake >=1.6 >=1.11 >=1.10
The tools required now are supported by Debian GNU/Linux 4.0 "Etch",
RedHat Enterprise Linux 5, and Mac OS X 10.6.x for example.
I read the changelogs of autoconf and automake, and I think ther's nothing
that prevents it from working with these older versions; and we don't want
to force users to upgrade without real benefits.
Please note: the recommended versions are still autoconf 1.11.x and the
most recent autoconf release that works with automake 1.11.x!

* bug92-xop:
Fix NAMES/WHO response when client has multi-prefix
Fix prefix of "halfop" when "multi-prefix" is active
Clean up doc/.gitignore
doc/Modes.txt: add version number to new channel modes
Fix some "whitespace glitches"
Tests and documentation for xop
Implemented xop support

This fixes bug #92 "ngircd does not support XOP usermodes".
Starting with GNU automake 1.12, the "de-ANSI-fication support" has been
removed, which ngIRCd used to enable building itself on very old systems.
Now the problem is, that using automake >= 1.12 isn't working because of
the now unsupported M4 macros. Therefore the solution that this patch
implements is to dynamically generate the automake input files with our
own ./autogen.sh script:
configure.ng => configure.in
Makefile.ng => Makefile.am
This is quite an ugly approach, but it works and enables us to:
1. use current automake >= 1.12 for development and "private builds",
2. still build distribution archives using automake 1.11.x that have
"de-ANSI-fication support" enabled in the generated Makefile's.
And if you are using Makefile's generated with a automake version newer
than 1.11.x (without "de-ANSI-fication support"), the ./configure script
warns you not to use this generated build system to generate distribution
archives.
Drawback of this patch: you MUST use our autogen.sh script, you can't call
the autoconf/automake commands directly any more; but autoreconf should
still work ...
With this patch, the SSL subsystem will only be initialized if at least
one SSL ports is configured; so you won't get "SSL initialization failed"
messages if you didn't configured it at all.
And if SSL initialization fails, no SSL listen ports will be enabled
later which never could establish a working SSL connection at all ...
The iconv library should be used for implementing the new CHARCONV
IRC command discussed in bug 109.
And because CHARCONV will be an IRC+ feature, we only test for libiconv
if IRC+ is enabled as well.
Update GNU autoconf and automake infrastructure.
Tested on modern systems as well as Apple A/UX :-)
* autoconf-update:
AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS: fix ansi2knr option, include path
Don't use AC_FUNC_MALLOC and AC_FUNC_REALLOC
Make our own targets "silent", if enabled
configure.in: use AC_CHECK_{FUNCS|HEADERS}_ONCE
Updated config.{guess|sub} to version 2012-08-14
Make autogen.sh more verbose when VERBOSE=1 is set
configure.in: use AC_SEARCH_LIBS (not AC_CHECK_LIB)
configure.in: use AS_HELP_STRING macro
configure.in: use AC_CANONICAL_HOST (not AC_CANONICAL_TARGET)
configure.in: inttypes.h is an optional header file
Use HAVE_SETSID #define when testing for setsid()
Don't include <stdint.h>, it is included by "portab.h"
Don't check type.h availability, it is required
configure.in: Use AC_CONFIG_FILES macro
configure.in: Don't use AC_C_PROTOTYPES
configure.in: Update checks for required and optional features
configure.in: require autoconf 2.67 and automake 1.11
configure.in: sort some lists (templates, output, ...)
We don't expect the GNU'ish behaviour of of malloc() and realloc() and never
implemented the replacement functions rpl_malloc()/rpl_realloc() -- so these
test result in linking failues on systems that don't have a GNU'ish malloc()
and realloc() even though we don't require it!
Introduced by commit 47ad9afc.
This fixes the following warning message when building without SSL support:
conn.c: In function "New_Connection":
conn.c:1365: warning: unused parameter "IsSSL"
Introduced by commit 01b62202.
* 'xop' of https://github.com/kart0ffelsack/ngircd:
Tests and documentation for xop
Implemented xop support

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.
This fixes parts of bug #127.
It makes no sense to limit the list size when doing WHO for a channel
and not to 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).
This fixes bug #125.
Some systems, notably FreeBSD 4.x, do have the kqueue() function but
lack the definition of EV_SET() in their header files -- but don't
worry, we can #define it on our own ;-)
Definition taken from /usr/include/sys/event.h of FreeBSD 8.1.
Patch tested on FreeBSD 4.1 by Götz Hoffart. Thanks!
