Hi All! Not that long ago, ngIRCd 17 has been released. Sadly a few bugs have slipped in, which have been fixed in this new release: 17.1. – in addition a few minor new features have been implemented which are also part of this release. The changes since release 17 are: * --configtest: remember if MOTD is configured by file or phrase * Enhance log messages when establishing server links a little bit * Reset ID of outgoing server link on DNS error correctly * Don't log critical (or worse) messages to stderr * Manual page ngircd(8): add SIGNALS section * Manual pages: update and simplyfy AUTHORS section * Remove "error file" when compiled with debug code enabled * README: Updated list of implemented commands * add doc/README-Interix.txt and doc/Bopm.txt to distribution tarball * add doc/PAM.txt to distribution tarball * New numeric 329: get channel creation time on "MODE #chan" commands * Save channel creation time; new function Channel_CreationTime() The most important fix is "Reset ID of outgoing server link on DNS error correctly“: this could result in ngircd never trying to re-connect to a particular server when a DNS error occurred and to a permanently split network :-/ The new release can be downloaded here: * <ftp://ftp.berlios.de/pub/ngircd/ngircd-17.1.tar.gz> * <ftp://ngircd.barton.de/pub/ngircd/ngircd-17.1.tar.gz> GnuPG signatures for release 17.1, a Mac OS X package, patches from release 17 as well as further archive formats 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> I hope that there are now showstoppers … please report all bugs using our bug tracker (<http://ngircd.barton.de/bugzilla/index.cgi>) and/or this mailing list.
