-----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.
