+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. + - Fixed some spelling errors in documentation and code comments + (Thanks to Christoph Biedl). + - contrib/Debian/control: Update and complete "Build-Depends" and + update our Debian package descriptions with "official" ones. + - Fixed typo in two error messages. + - 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! + - README: Update list of implemented commands. + - Log better error messages when rejecting clients. + - 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 and define HAVE_GAI_STRERROR + for Mac OS X Xcode builds. + - ./configure: Fix logic and quoting of poll() detection code: only use + poll() when poll.h exists as well. + - Suppress 'Can't create pre-defined channel: invalid name: ""' message. + - whois-test: handle local hostname = "localhost.localdomain" using the + pattern "localhost*" for valid local hostnames. + - sample-ngircd.conf: show correct default for "PAM" variable: The + default of "PAM" is "yes" when ngIRCd has been configured to use it, + so show the correct default value in the sample configuration file. + (Closes #119) + - Update GPL 2 license text to current version. + - 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. + - New 2nd message "Nickname too long" for error code 432. + - Xcode: Mac OS X config.h: support 10.5 as well as 10.6/10.7 SDK. + - Xcode: exclude more Xcode 4 specific directories in ".gitignore". + - 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 ... + - contrib/ngindent: detect "gindent" as GNU indent. + - 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. + - Correctly inform clients when other servers change their user modes. + This is required for some services to work correctly. + - Test suite: make getpid.sh work even when run as root. + - Spoofed prefixes: close connection on non-server links only. + On server-links, spoofed prefixes can happen because of the + asynchronous nature of the IRC protocol. So don't break server- + links, only log a message and ignore the command. (Closes #113) + ngIRCd Release 18 (2011-07-10)
