Hello!
Since the last release candidate no serious problems have been found,
and so here it is: ngIRCd Release 14.
Prominent changes are the removal of the limit of pre-definded
channels in ngircd.conf and the implemnetation of a "channel key file"
which allows for individual pre-defined channel user keys (see "man
ngircd.conf" and the variable "KeyFile" for details).
The changelog lists:
- Display IPv6 addresses as "[<addr>]" when accepting connections.
- Updated Debian/Linux init script (see contrib/Debian/ngircd.init).
- Allow creation of persistent modeless channels.
- The INFO command reports the compile time now (if available).
- Spell check and enhance ngIRCd manual pages.
- Channel mode changes: break on syntax errors in MODE command.
- Support individual channel keys for pre-defined channels: introduce
new configuration variable "KeyFile" in [Channel] sections in
ngircd.conf,
here a file can be configured for each pre-defined channel which
contains
individual channel keys for different users.
- Remove limit on maximum number of predefined channels in
ngircd.conf.
- Updated ngircd.spec file for building RPM packages.
- Add new and missing files to Mac OS X Xcode project, and update
project.
- Reject masks with wildcard after last dot.
- TLS/SSL: remove useless error message when ssl connection is closed.
- Fix memory leak when a encrypted and compressed server link goes
down.
(closes bug #95, reported by Christoph)
- Fix handling of channels containing dots.
(closes ug #93, reported by Gonosz Csiga)
Thanks a lot to all contributors!
