Hello world! Here it is, a new release of ngIRCd: 0.7.5 Changes since 0.7.1 are: - Fixed ban behavior: users which are banned from a channel can't no longer send PRIVMSG's to this channel (fixes Bug #47). - Fixed and enhanced the "penalty handling" of the server: commands that require more resources block the client for a short time. - Changed the internal time resolution to one second. - New configuration variable "MaxConnectionsIP" to limit the number of simultaneous connections from a single IP that the server will accept. This configuration options lowers the risk of denial of service attacks (DoS), the default is 5 connections per client IP. - Fixed build problems under Mac OS X 10.3. - Use "-pipe" when compiling with gcc, speeds things up a little :-) - Added new configuration variable "Listen" to bind all listening sockets of the server to a single IP address. - Suppress misleading error message of diff during make run. - Enhanced test-suite and made it work on GNU/Hurd. - Fixed minor typo in debug output :-) It's available from (~261 KB): - <http://download.berlios.de/ngircd/ngircd-0.7.5.tar.gz> - <ftp://ftp.berlios.de/pub/ngircd/ngircd-0.7.5.tar.gz> - <ftp://Arthur.Ath.CX/pub/Users/alex/ngircd/ngircd-0.7.5.tar.gz> The patch from 0.7.1 to 0.7.5 (~17 KB) and GnuPG signatures: - <ftp://ftp.berlios.de/pub/ngircd/> - <ftp://Arthur.Ath.CX/pub/Users/alex/ngircd/> Regards Alex -- Alexander Barton, Freiburg, Germany http://www.barton.de/, alex@barton.de
