+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)
