CVS-HEAD: Enhanced/fixed TRACE, removed german Documentation
by Alexander Barton 20 Mar '03

20 Mar '03

Changes to CVS-HEAD: - I removed the german documentation from /doc/de. Reason: no maintainer - The TRACE command has been fixed and enhanced: now it shows other servers and connected IRC operators, too. - Better error reporting to clients when the server can't accept the connection.

Haven't had a chance to really dig yet, but had ngIRCd sig 11 and core seemingly at random this afternoon. Syslog: Feb 10 02:38:23 cyrix-dlc ngircd[27448]: User "Java873!~Java873(a)210.105.36.60" unregistered (connection 4): Got QUIT command.

Feb 10 13:46:10 cyrix-dlc /kernel: pid 27448 (ngircd), uid 0: exited on signal 11 (core dumped) I have the 5.5MB gzip'd core available if there is any interest in looking at it, otherwise I'm open to suggestions on how to proceed with debugging.

Roadmap?
by Alexander Barton 09 Mar '03

09 Mar '03

Hi all! I want to release ngIRCd 0.7.0 really soon, because there are lots of enhancements and fixes in CVS-HEAD which are too "complex" to backport to the 0.6.x branch. Only exception: the connection closing bug (see my other mail to this list). If it fixes the problem, I probably should release version 0.6.2 as new "stable" release before 0.7.0. So whats left for 0.7.0? At least the documentation should be complete and completely in english. Some files in doc/ still need to be translated. And I'm unsure about the "old" german documentation in doc/de/: it's too much work for me to maintain _both_ the english and the german files, therefore there are two possibilities: a) someone out there wants to maintain the german documentation (then mail me or the list, please!) or b) I'll kick it. And what about the stability of recent CVS-HEAD versions (nightly builds)? My test servers here run stable, but they don't have heavy load ... There is (at least) one feature left I want to add before 0.7.0: "server redirects". This means that a ngircd can notify the client that it can't accept its connection and redirect the client to another server using the 005 numeric (RPL_BOUNCE) as defined in RFC 2812. Okay, so what did I forget? Comments? Regards Alex -- Alexander Barton, Freiburg, Germany alex(a)barton.de, http://www.barton.de/

CVS-HEAD: TCP Wrappers, Changed configure options
by Alexander Barton 07 Mar '03

07 Mar '03

Hi! Changes to CVS-HEAD: - Added support for TCP Wrappers library: pass "--with-tcp-wrappers" to configure to enable it. - Changed some configure options to use "--with"/"--without" as prefix insetead of "--enable"/"--disable": "--without-syslog", "--without-zlib", "--with-tcp-wrappers", and "--with-rendezvous". Please use "./configure --help" to review the full list of possible configure options. And don't forget to add something like "ngircd : 192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0" to your /etc/hosts.allow file when using "--with-tcp-wrappers"! ;-)) Regards Alex -- Alexander Barton, Freiburg, Germany http://www.barton.de/, alex(a)barton.de
