Hello World! ngIRCd 22 has been released on October 11 2014, and since then, a few "glitches" and bugs have been found. Therefore here it is: the next ngIRCd release named 22.1. The most severe bug was "WHO #channel" showing all invisible users and hiding all visible, the logic was reversed! This bug has been introduced back in August 2013 and affects ngIRCd releases 21, 21.1, and 22. Thanks a lot to "Cahata" for reporting this in #ngircd! And the most prominent change in ngIRCd 22.1 is that the default value of the "CipherList" configuration variable has been changed to not enable SSLv3 by default. Idea, initial patch, and testing by Christoph Biedl; Thanks a lot! (And please make sure to adjust this variable accordingly if you still have to support old and insecure(!) clients! You can check the current value using "ngircd --configtest" before upgrading. See "INSTALL" for details.) As usual, you can find the whole ChangeLog online on the ngIRCd homepage <http://ngircd.barton.de/doc/ChangeLog> and below: - Update doc/Platforms.txt and doc/FAQ.txt. - Fix spelling of RPL_WHOISBOT message text. - Don't send nick name as default PART reason: No other IRC daemon seems to do this (today?). Closes #185. Reported by Cahata in #ngircd, thanks! - Fix "WHO #<chan>" showing invisible users and hiding all visible, the logic was reversed! This bug has been introduced by commit c74115f2, "Simplify mode checking on channels and users within a channel", ngIRCd releases 21, 21.1, and 22 are affected :-( Problem reported by Cahata in #ngircd, Thanks! - Fix typo in src/testsuite/README - Auth PING: Fix our information text for manual sending of "PONG". Up to now, ngIRCd doesn't send a valid IRC command at all, oops! - Auth PING: Fix internal time stamp conversion and don't send a prefix in our PING command. The prefix confuses WeeChat, at least, which doesn't send an appropriate PONG in the case ... Debugging and patch by "wowaname" on #ngircd, thanks! - Fix syntax of ERR_LISTFULL_MSG(478) numeric. Pointed out by "wowaname" in #ngircd, thanks! - Enhance debug messages while sending CHANINFO commands. - Reset "last try" timer when enabling a passive server. This results in a new connection attempt as soon as possible. - Change log message for "Can't resolve address" and for IP address forgeries. - doc/HowToRelease.txt: Add note about the bug tracker. - Update "CipherList" to not enable SSLv3 by default. Idea, initial patch, and testing by Christoph Biedl <ngircd.anoy@manchmal.in-ulm.de>. - Change ngIRCd test suite not to use DNS lookups: Different operating systems do behave quite differently when doing DNS lookups, for example "127.0.0.1" sometimes resolves to "localhost" and sometimes to "localhost.localdomain" (for example OpenBSD). And other OS resolve "localhost" to the real host name (for example Cygwin). So not using DNS at all makes the test site much more portable.
