-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello and happy new year! The next release of ngIRCd is overdue, but here is the first pointer: ngIRCd 0.11.0-pre1. So dont wait, go grab it, test it, and report bugs! ;-) <ftp://ftp.berlios.de/pub/ngircd/ngircd-0.11.0-pre1.tar.gz> <ftp://ngircd.barton.de/pub/ngircd/ngircd-0.11.0-pre1.tar.gz> The GnuPG signature and a patch from 0.10.3 is available and can be downloaded from here: <ftp://ngircd.berlios.de/pub/ngircd/> <ftp://ngircd.barton.de/pub/ngircd/> Changes since ngIRCd 0.10.3 are: - - Use dotted-decimal IP address if hostname is >= 64. - - Add support for /STAT u (server uptime) command. - - New [Server] configuration Option "Bind" allows to specify the source ip adress to use when connecting to remote server. - - New configuration option "MaxNickLength" to specify the allowed maximum length of user nick names. Note: must be unique in an IRC network! - - Enhanced the IRC+ protocol to support an enhanced "server handshake" and enable server to recognice numeric 005 (ISUPPORT) and 376 (ENDOFMOTD). See doc/Protocol.txt for details. - - Re-added doc/SSL.txt to distribution -- got lost somewhere!? - - Fixes the wrong logging output when nested servers are introduced to the network as well as the wrong output of the LINKS command. - - Update Mac OS X Xcode project file for Xcode 3. - - Adjust test suite to be usable on HP/UX 11.11 :-) - - Fix code to compile using K&R C compiler and ansi2kr again. - - New config option NoDNS: Disables DNS lookups when clients connect. - - Fixed propagation of channel mode 'P' on server links. - - Numeric 317: implemented "signon time" (displayed in WHOIS result). - - Fixed code that prevented GCC 2.95 to compile ngIRCd. - - Adjust path names in manual pages according to "./configure" settings. - - Added new server configuration option "Passive" for "Server" blocks to disable automatic outgoing connections (similar to -p option to ngircd, but only for the specified server). (Tassilo Schweyer) - - Don't connect to a server if a connection to another server within the same group is already in progress. - - Added support for the WALLOPS command. Usage is restricted to IRC operators. Please test this release and let us know which problems you encounter and which changes should be made for the final 0.11.0 release. Thanks!
