ngIRCd 16~rc1
by Alexander Barton 25 Apr '10

25 Apr '10

Hi IRC’ers! We are in preparation of the next ngIRCd release, release 16, which will contain the following changes, enhancements, and new features: - Various fixes to the build system and code cleanups. - contrib/platformtest.sh: Only show latest commit. - Updatet doc/Platforms.txt, added new README-Interix.txt documenting how to tun ngIRCd on Microsoft Services for UNIX (MS SFU, MS SUA). - Updated links to the ngIRCd homepage (bug tracker, mailing list). - Added missing modes to USERMODES #define - Show our name (IRCD=ngIRCd) in ISUPPORT (005) numeric - Quote received messages of ERROR commands in log output. - ngircd.conf manual page: document missing "Password" variable. - Implement WEBIRC command used by some Web-IRC frontends. The password required to secure this command must be configured using the new "WebircPassword" variable in the ngircd.conf file. - Don't use port 6668 as example for both "Ports" and "SSLPorts". - Remove limit on max number of configured irc operators. - Only link "nsl" library when really needed. - A new channel mode "secure connections only" (+z) has been implemented: Only clients using a SSL encrypted connection to the server are allowed to join such a channel. But please note three things: a) already joined clients are not checked when setting this mode, b) IRC operators are always allowed to join every channel, and c) remote clients using a server not supporting this mode are not checked either and therefore always allowed to join. The first release candidate, version 16~rc1, is available for downloading and testing since a few days, and it would be really great if you could vive it a try and do some testing. Thanks! As usual the download locations are: <ftp://ftp.berlios.de/pub/ngircd/ngircd-16~rc1.tar.gz> <ftp://ngircd.barton.de/pub/ngircd/ngircd-16~rc1.tar.gz> The GnuPG signatures for 16~rc1 and patches from release 15 are available as well and can be downloaded from here: <ftp://ngircd.barton.de/pub/ngircd/> <ftp://ftp.berlios.de/pub/ngircd/> You can have a look at the complete history and every single patch using the GIT web-frontend located at: <http://ngircd.barton.de/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?p=ngircd.git> Please test this release candidate and report all bugs you encounter using the bug tracker and/or this mailing list. Thanks a lot for your support! Regards Alex

ngIRCd Release 15
by Alexander Barton 12 Nov '09

12 Nov '09

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi! There have been no reports of problems in our release candidate for ngIRCd 15, so here it is! Since our last ngIRCd release 14.1 on April 9 quite a few fixes and enhancements have been developed and been integrated into our master branch. The changes are: - - Do not add default listening port (6667) if SSL ports were specified, so ngIRCd can be configured to only accept SSL encrypted connections now. - - Enable IRC operators to use the IRC command SQUIT (insted of the already implemented but non-standard DISCONNECT command). - - New configuration option "AllowRemoteOper" (disabled by default) that enables remote IRC operators to use the IRC commands SQUIT and CONNECT on the local server. - - Mac OS X: fix test for packagemaker(1) tool in Makefile and use gcc 4.0 for Mac OS X 10.4 compatibility in the Xcode project file. - - Fix --with-{openssl|gnutls} to accept path names. - - Fix LSB header of Debian init script. - - Updated doc/Platforms.txt and include new script contrib/platformtest.sh to ease generating platform reports. - - Fix connection information for already registered connections. - - Enforce upper limit on maximum number of handled commands. This implements a throttling scheme: an IRC client can send up to 3 commands or 256 bytes per second before a one second pause is enforced. - - Fix connection counter. - - Fix a few error handling glitches for SSL/TLS connections. - - Minor fixes to manual pages and documentation. You can download ngIRCd release 15 here: <ftp://ftp.berlios.de/pub/ngircd/ngircd-15.tar.gz> <ftp://ngircd.barton.de/pub/ngircd/ngircd-15.tar.gz> The GnuPG signatures for 15, a Mac OS X installer package, and patches from release 14.1 are available and can be downloaded from here: <ftp://ngircd.barton.de/pub/ngircd/> <ftp://ftp.berlios.de/pub/ngircd/> The relevant MD5 sums are: ngircd-15.tar.gz: c183a85eba6fe51255983848f099c8ae ngircd-14.1-15.patch.gz: 8a114618bfc23d3301762e0dbee704ac You can have a look at the complete history and every single patch using the GIT web-frontend located at: <http://ngircd.barton.de/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?p=ngircd.git> Please let us know if you encounter any bugs or need more/better documentation (best is to file bugs using the bug tracker or to mail to this list).

[Announce]: Initial certificate support for openssl backend
by Florian Westphal 18 Mai '09

18 Mai '09

Hi all, a patch (mostly untested 8->) that adds initial support for certificates to the openssl backend is located here: http://strlen.de/ngircd/0001-SSL-TLS-add-initial-certificate-support-to-ope… (signature: http://strlen.de/ngircd/0001-SSL-TLS-add-initial-certificate-support-to-ope…) The patch applies to ngircd release 14.1. For those that want to follow up on changes/patches, please consider tracking my repository at git://git.breakpoint.cc/fw/ngircd-tls.git , the certificate changes are in the "tls-master" branch. (gitweb: http://git.breakpoint.cc/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?p=fw/ngircd-tls.git;a=summary) By "initial" i mean that the basic functionality appears to work, but has not been tested much; noone has reviewed the code so far, there is no support for things like "accept this cerificate only from ip X", etc. Although I do not know when I can work on this again, I ask that everyone interested in seeing this feature in ngircd and with some spare time and a ngircd test installation to try out this patch and report any bugs/change requests, thanks a lot! The patch adds a few new config options: in GLOBAL section: SSLCAFile = /the/file/with/trusted/ca/certificates Filename pointing to the Trusted CA Certificates. Required for verifying peer certificates. SSLCRLFile = /the/file/with/revoked/certificates (WARNING: not tested AT ALL) SSLRequireClientCert = (yes|no) Do not accept incoming SSL connections from clients that do not have a valid certificate. in [SERVER] section: SSLVerify: (yes|no) Verify Server Peer Certificate. If this is an active connection (i.e. ngircd connects to the peer), the ssl handshake is aborted if the certificate of the remote server cannot be validated. If this is a passive connection (ngircd waits for the remote server to connect) and SSLRequireClientCert is false, the server link will only be established if the password matches and a valid certificate was received. (obvioulsy, because its not possible to know in advance if the incoming connection is from a server or an irc client, the ssl handshake always completes; the connection will be shut down again once the SERVER command is received and the connection was established without /invalid certificate.

ngIRCd Release 14.1
by Alexander Barton 12 Mai '09

12 Mai '09

Hi all! Florian Westphal found a serious bug in ngIRCd release 14 which affects all servers compiled with SSL-support linked in, whereas it is irrelevant whether SSL support is actually in use or not. This bug is remotely triggerable and causes the daemon to crash (DoS). So EVERYBODY using ngIRCd release 13 or 14 with SSL-support linked in SHOULD UPGRADE to nIRCcd release 14.1 as soon as possible! You can use the "ngircd --version" command to check the options your daemon provides: if it lists "SSL", you are affected! (e. g. "ngircd 14.1-SYSLOG+ZLIB+SSL+IRCPLUS+IPv6-i386/apple/darwin9.6" is affected) The full changelog lists (since release 14): - Security: fix remotely triggerable crash in SSL/TLS code. - BSD start script contrib/ngircd.sh has been renamed to ngircd-bsd.sh. - New start/stop script for RedHat-based distributions: contrib/ngircd-redhat.init, thanks to Naoya Nakazawa <naoya(a)sanow.net>. - Doxygen: update source code repository link to GIT. - Debian: build ngircd-full-dbg package. - Allow ping timeout quit messages to show the timeout value. - Fix error handling on compressed links. - Fix server list announcement. - Do not remove hostnames from info text.

ngIRCd Release 14
by Alexander Barton 20 Apr '09

20 Apr '09

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!
