13 ngIRCd 25~rc1 (2018-08-11)
14 - Only send TOPIC updates to a channel when the topic actually changed:
15 This prevents the channel from becoming flooded by unecessary TOPIC update
16 messages, that can happen when IRC services try to enforce a certain topic
17 but which is already set (at least on the local server), for example.
18 Therefore still forward it to all servers, but don't inform local clients
19 (still update setter and timestamp information, though!).
20 - Update Xcode project for latest Xcode version (9.2). This includes adding
21 missing and deleting obsolete file references.
22 - Handle user mode "C" ("Only users that share a channel are allowed to send
23 messages") like user mode "b" ("block private messages and notices"): allow
24 messages from servers, services, and IRC Operators, too. Change proposed by
25 "wowaname" back in 2015 in #ngircd, thanks!
26 - Allow IRC Ops and remote servers to KILL service clients: such clients
27 behave like regular users, therefore IRC operators and servers should be
28 able to KILL them: for example to resolve nick collisions.
31 ngIRCd 24 (2017-01-20)
33 ngIRCd 24~rc1 (2017-01-07)
34 - Log privilege violations and failed OPER request with log level "error"
35 and send it to the "&SERVER" channel, too.
36 - Immediately shut down connection when receiving an "ERROR" command,
37 don't wait for the peer to close the connection. This allows the daemon
38 to forward the received "ERROR" message in the network, instead of the
39 very generic "client closed connection" message.
40 - Explicitly forbid remote servers to modify "x-lines" (G-LINES) when the
41 "AllowRemoteOper" configuration option isn't set, even when the command
42 seems to originate from the remote server itself: this prevents GLINE's
43 to become set during server handshake in this case (what wouldn't be
44 possible during regular runtime when a remote IRC Op sends the command)
45 and what can't be undone by IRC Ops later on (because of the missing
46 "AllowRemoteOper" option) ...
47 - Update Xcode project for latest Xcode version (8.0), and fix "duplicate
48 symbols" error messages when building (linking) the binary.
49 - Add "Documentation" variables to systemd configuration files.
50 - Make sure that SYSCONFDIR is always set, which can be handy when
51 using source code linters when ./configure hasn't been run already.
52 - Add the new "PAMServiceName" configuration option to specify the name
53 used as PAM service name. This setting allows to run multiple ngIRCd
54 instances with different PAM configurations for each instance.
55 Thanks to Christian Aistleitner <christian@quelltextlich.at> for the
57 - Add an ".editorconfig" file to the project.
58 - Limit the number of message target, and suppress duplicates: This
59 prevents an user from flooding the server using commands like this:
60 "PRIVMSG nick1,nick1,nick1,...".
61 Duplicate targets are suppressed silently (channels and clients).
62 In addition, the maximum number of targets per PRIVMSG, NOTICE, ...
63 command are limited to MAX_HNDL_TARGETS (25). If there are more, the
64 daemon sends the new 407 (ERR_TOOMANYTARGETS_MSG) numeric, containing
65 the first target that hasn't been handled any more. Closes #187.
66 - Make contrib/platformtest.sh script more portable, and only show
67 "runs=Y" when the test suite really has been passed successfully.
69 ngIRCd 23 (2015-11-16)
71 ngIRCd 23~rc1 (2015-09-06)
72 - Use "NOTICE *" before registration instead of "NOTICE AUTH". "AUTH" is
73 a valid nickname so sending notices to it is probably not a good idea.
74 Use "*" as the target instead as done with numerics when the nick is not
75 available. This mimics the behavior in Charybdis, IRCD-Hybrid, InspIRCd
76 2.2, Plexus 4, etc. Closes #217.
77 The "NoticeAuth" configuration variable (ngircd.conf) has been renamed
78 to "NoticeBeforeRegistration" accordingly, but the old name is still
79 supported for compatibility reasons.
80 - Implement new channel mode "N" (regular users can't change their nick
81 name while on this channel). Closes #214.
82 - Keep track of who placed bans, invites, and excepts.
83 Idea and implementation by LucentW, Thanks! Closes #203.
84 - Implement numeric RPL_LISTSTART(321). lightIRC and other clients
85 expecting RPL_LISTSTART should now behave correctly.
86 Idea and implementation by LucentW, Thanks! Closes #207.
87 - Streamline the effect of "MorePrivacy" option: Update documentation
88 in ngircd.conf(5); don't hide channels for IRC Ops on LIST and don't
89 hide IP addresses/hostnames on WHOIS when "MorePrivacy" is in effect.
91 - IRC operators now can kick anyone when "OperCanMode" is set.
92 Idea and implementation by LucentW, Thanks! Closes #202.
93 - Implement user mode "I": Hide channels on WHOIS: this mode prevents
94 ngIRCd from showing channels on WHOIS (IRC Operators can always see
96 Idea and implementation by LucentW, Thanks! Closes #197.
97 - INVITE command: Implement ERR_USERNOTONSERV(504) numeric and make sure
98 that the target user is on the same server when inviting other users
99 to local ("&") channels.
100 Idea by Cahata, thanks! Closes #183.
101 - MODE command: Always report channel creation time. Up to now when
102 receiving a MODE command, ngIRCd only reported the channel creation
103 time to clients that were members of the channel. This patch reports
104 the channel creation time to all clients, regardless if they are joined
105 to that channel or not. At least ircd-seven behaves like this.
106 This closes #188. Reported by Cahata, thanks!
108 ngIRCd 22.1 (2015-04-06)
110 - Update "CipherList" to not enable SSLv3 by default. Idea, initial patch,
111 and testing by Christoph Biedl <ngircd.anoy@manchmal.in-ulm.de>.
112 - Change ngIRCd test suite not to use DNS lookups: Different operating
113 systems do behave quite differently when doing DNS lookups, for example
114 "127.0.0.1" sometimes resolves to "localhost" and sometimes to
115 "localhost.localdomain" (for example OpenBSD). And other OS resolve
116 "localhost" to the real host name (for example Cygwin). So not using
117 DNS at all makes the test site much more portable.
119 ngIRCd 22 (2014-10-11)
121 - Match all list patterns case-insensitive: this affects the invite-,
122 ban-, and except lists, as well as G-Lines an K-Lines.
123 Problem pointed out by "wowaname" on #ngircd, thanks!
125 ngIRCd 22~rc1 (2014-09-29)
126 - Sync "except lists" between servers: Up to now, ban, invite, and G-Line
127 lists have been synced between servers while linking -- but obviously
128 nobody noticed that except list have been missing ever since. Until now.
129 Thanks to "j4jackj", who reported this issue in #ngircd.
130 - Allow longer user names (up to 63 characters) for authentication.
131 - Increase MAX_SERVERS from 16 to 64: There are installations out there
132 that would like to configure more than 16 links per server, so increase
133 this limit. Best would be to get rid of MAX_SERVERS altogether and make
134 if fully dynamic, but start with this quick and dirty hack ...
135 - Test suite/platformtest.sh: Detect when tests have been skipped.
136 - Allow "DefaultUserModes" to set all possible modes, including modes only
137 settable by IRC Operators.
138 - Implement user mode "F": "relaxed flood protection". Clients with mode
139 "F" set are allowed to rapidly send data to the daemon. This mode is only
140 settable by IRC Operators and can cause problems in the network -- so be
141 careful and only set it on "trusted" clients!
142 User mode "F" is used by Bahamut for this purpose, for example.
143 - Use server password when PAM is compiled in but disabled.
144 - Streamline punctuation of log messages.
145 - Return ISUPPORT(005) numerics on "VERSION". This is how ircd-seven,
146 Charybdis, Hybrid, and InspIRCd behave, for example.
147 - configure: Only link "contrib/Debian" if it exists, which isn't the case
148 on "VPATH builds", for example.
149 - Show the account name in WHOIS. This uses the same numeric as Charybdis
150 and ircu families: WHOISLOGGEDIN(330).
151 - Pattern matching: Remove "range matching" in our pattern matching code
152 using the "[...]" syntax, because [ and ] are valid characters in nick
153 names and one has to quote them currently using the "\" character, which
154 is quite unexpected for users.
155 - platformtest.sh: New option "-x", don't regenerate build system and
156 allow using separate source and build trees.
157 - Test suite: explicitly enable glibc memory checking.
158 - Make "MODE -k" handling more robust and compatible, send "fake '*' key"
160 - portabtest: Actually test the functions snprintf(), strlcpy(), strlcat(),
161 and vsnprintf() for correctness, not only existence (which was quite
162 useless, because if they weren't available, the program could not have
163 been linked at all ...).
164 - Implement new configuration option "Network": it is used to set the
165 (completely optional) "network name", to which this instance of the
166 daemon belongs. When set, this name is used in the ISUPPORT(005) numeric
167 which is sent to all clients connecting to the server after logging in.
168 - Update doc/Platforms.txt.
169 - Various code cleanups, remove unused code, streamline error handling.
170 Remove all imp.h and exp.h header files, support non-standard vsnprintf()
171 return codes, and fix some K&R C portability issues. Streamline
172 DEBUG_ARRAY, DEBUG_BUFFER, DEBUG_IO, DEBUG_ZIP definitions.
173 - Increase penalty time to 10 seconds when handling OPER commands with an
176 ngIRCd 21.1 (2014-03-25)
178 - Don't ignore but use the server password when PAM is compiled in but
179 disabled. Thanks to Roy Sindre Norangshol <roy.sindre@norangshol.no>!
180 - doc/Platforms.txt: Update from master branch.
181 - doc/Services.txt: Update information for Anope 2.x.
182 - configure: add support for the LDFLAGS_END and LIBS_END variables to add
183 linker flags and libraries at the end of the configure run (CFLAGS_END has
184 been implemented already).
185 - Update Copyright notices for 2014 :-)
187 ngIRCd 21 (2013-10-30)
189 - Call arc4random_stir() in forked subprocesses, when available. This
190 is required by FreeBSD <10 and current NetBSD at least to correctly
191 initialize the "arc4" random number generator on these platforms.
193 ngIRCd 21~rc2 (2013-10-20)
194 - Report the correct configuration file name on configuration errors,
195 support longer configuration lines, and warn when lines are truncated.
197 ngIRCd 21~rc1 (2013-10-05)
198 - Actually KILL clients on GLINE/KLINE. (Closes bug #156)
199 - Add support to show all user links using the "STATS L" (uppercase)
200 command (restricted to IRC Operators).
201 - Implement configurable SSL cipher list selection for GnuTLS and OpenSSL
202 using the new configuration option "CipherList". In addition, this
203 changes the defaults to more secure values: "HIGH:!aNULL:@STRENGTH" for
204 OpenSSL, and "SECURE128" for GnuTLS.
205 - Show connection flag "s" (SSL) in RPL_TRACE{LINK|SERVER} messages: now
206 you can check if a server-to-server link is SSL-encrypted or not using
207 the IRC "TRACE" command.
208 - Implement the new configuration option "DefaultUserModes" which lists
209 user modes that become automatically set on new local clients right
210 after login. Please note that only modes can be set that the client
211 could set on itself, so you can't set "a" (away) or "o" (IRC Op),
212 for example! User modes "i" (invisible) or "x" (cloaked) etc. are
213 "interesting", though. (Closes bug #160)
214 - Add support for the new METADATA "account" property, which allows
215 services to automatically identify users after netsplits and across
217 - Implement a new configuration option "AllowedChannelTypes" that lists
218 all allowed channel types (channel prefixes) for newly created channels
219 on the local server. By default, all supported channel types are allowed.
220 If set to the empty string, local clients can't create new channels at
221 all, which equals the old "PredefChannelsOnly = yes" setting.
222 This change deprecates the "PredefChannelsOnly" variable, too, but it is
223 still supported and translated to the appropriate "AllowedChannelTypes"
224 setting. When the old "PredefChannelsOnly" variable is processed, a
225 warning message is logged. (Closes bug #152)
226 - Add support for "client certificate fingerprinting". When a client
227 passes an SSL certificate to the server, the "fingerprint" will be
228 forwarded in the network which enables IRC services to identify the
229 user using this certificate and not using passwords.
230 - Implement a new configuration option "IncludeDir" in the "[Options]"
231 section that can be used to specify a directory which can contain
232 further configuration files and configuration file snippets matching
233 the pattern "*.conf". These files are read in after the main server
234 configuration file ("ngircd.conf" by default) has been read in and
235 parsed. The default is "$SYSCONFDIR/ngircd.conf.d", so that it is
236 possible to adjust the configuration only by placing additional files
237 into this directory. (Closes bug #157)
238 - Add Travis-CI configuration file (".travis.yml") to project.
239 - ngIRCd now accepts user names including "@" characters, saves the
240 unmodified name for authentication but stores only the part in front
241 of the "@" character as "IRC user name". And the latter is how
242 ircd2.11, Bahamut, and irc-seven behave as well. (Closes bug #155)
243 - Lots of IRC "information functions" like ADMIN, INFO, ... now accept
244 server masks and names of connected users (in addition to server names)
245 for specifying the target server of the command. (Closes bug #153)
246 - Implement a new configuration option "IdleTimeout" in the "[Limits]"
247 section of the configuration file which can be used to set a timeout
248 in seconds after which the whole daemon will shutdown when no more
249 connections are left active after handling at least one client.
250 The default is 0, "never".
251 This can be useful for testing or when ngIRCd is started using "socket
252 activation" with systemd(8), for example.
253 - Implement support for systemd(8) "socket activation".
254 - Enable WHOIS to display information about IRC Services using the new
255 numeric 310(RPL_WHOISSERVICE) This numeric is used for this purpose by
256 InspIRCd, for example -- but as usual, other numerics are in use, too,
257 like 613 in UltimateIRCd ...
258 Please note that neither the Operator (+o) not the "bot status" (+B)
259 of an IRC service is displayed in the output.
260 - Update systemd(8) example configuration files in ./contrib/ directory:
261 the "ngircd.service" file now uses the "forking" service type which
262 enhances the log messages shown by "systemctl status ngircd.service",
263 and the new "ngircd.socket" file configures a systemd socket that
264 configures a socket for ngIRCd and launches the daemon on demand.
265 - Enhance help system and the HELP command: now a "help text file" can be
266 set using the new configuration option "HelpFile" ("global" section),
267 which is read in and parsed on server startup and configuration reload,
268 and then is used to output individual help texts to specific topics.
269 Please see the file ./doc/Commands.txt for details.
271 ngIRCd 20.3 (2013-08-23)
273 - This release is a bugfix release only, without new features.
274 - Security: Fix a denial of service bug (server crash) which could happen
275 when the configuration option "NoticeAuth" is enabled (which is NOT the
276 default) and ngIRCd failed to send the "notice auth" messages to new
277 clients connecting to the server (CVE-2013-5580).
279 ngIRCd 20.2 (2013-02-15)
281 - This release is a bugfix release only, without new features.
282 - Security: Fix a denial of service bug in the function handling KICK
283 commands that could be used by arbitrary users to to crash the daemon
286 ngIRCd 20.1 (2013-01-02)
288 - This release is a bugfix release only, without new features.
290 ngIRCd 20 (2012-12-17)
292 - Allow user names ("INDENT") up to 20 characters when ngIRCd has not
293 been configured for "strict RFC mode". This is useful if you are using
294 external (PAM) authentication mechanisms that require longer user names.
295 Patch suggested by Brett Smith <brett@w3.org>, see
296 <http://arthur.barton.de/pipermail/ngircd-ml/2012-October/000579.html>.
298 ngIRCd 20~rc2 (2012-12-02)
299 - Rework cloaked hostname handling and implement the "METADATA cloakhost"
300 subcommand: Now ngIRCd uses two fields internally, one to store the
301 "real" hostname and one to save the "cloaked" hostname. This allows
302 "foreign servers" (aka "IRC services") to alter the real and cloaked
303 hostnames of clients without problems, even when the user itself issues
304 additional "MODE +x" and "MODE -x" commands.
306 ngIRCd 20~rc1 (2012-11-11)
307 - Update doc/Services.txt: describe the upcoming version of Anope 1.9.8,
308 then including a protocol module for ngIRCd. And remove our own patches
309 in ./contrib/Anope because they aren't supported any more ...
310 - Implement new "METADATA" command which can be used by remote servers
311 and IRC services to update client metadata like the client info text
312 ("real name"), user name, and hostname, and use this command to
313 configure an cloaked hostname (user mode "+x") on remote servers:
314 This prevents "double cloaking" of hostnames and even cloaked
315 hostnames are in sync on all servers supporting "METADATA" now.
316 - Implement new IRC "SVSNICK" command to allow remote servers (and IRC
317 services) to change nicknames of already registered users. The SVSNICK
318 command itself doesn't change the nickname, but it becomes forwarded
319 to the server to which the user is connected to. And then this server
320 initiates the real nickname changing using regular NICK commands.
321 This allows to run mixed networks with old servers not supporting the
322 SVSNICK command, because SVSNICK commands for nicknames on such servers
323 are silently ignored and don't cause a desynchronization of the network.
324 - New configuration option "MaxListSize" to configure the maximum number
325 of channels returned by a LIST command. The default is 100, as before.
326 - Implement user mode "b", "block messages": when a user has set mode "b",
327 all private messages and notices to this user are blocked if they don't
328 originate from a registered user, an IRC Op, server or service. The
329 originator gets an error numeric sent back in this case,
330 ERR_NONONREG_MSG (486), which is used by UnrealIRCd, too. (Closes #144)
331 - Implement channel mode "V" (invite disallow): If the new channel mode
332 "V" is set, the INVITE command becomes invalid and all clients get the
333 new ERR_NOINVITE_MSG (518) reply. (Closes #143)
334 - Implement channel mode "Q" and user mode "q": Both modes protect users
335 from channel kicks: only IRC operators and servers can kick users having
336 mode "q" or in channels with mode "Q". (Closes #141)
337 - Allow users to "cloak" their hostname only when the configuration
338 variable "CloakHostModeX" (introduced in 19.2) is set. Otherwise, only
339 IRC operators, other servers, and services are allowed to set the user
340 mode "+x": this prevents regular users from changing their hostmask to
341 the name of the IRC server itself, which confused quite a few people ;-)
343 - New configuration option "OperChanPAutoOp": If disabled, IRC operators
344 don't become channel operators in persistent channels when joining.
345 Enabled by default, which has been the behavior of ngIRCd up to this
347 - Allow IRC operators to see secret (+s) channels in LIST command as long
348 as the "MorePrivacy" configuration option isn't enabled in the
349 configuration file. (Closes #136)
350 - Implement new (optional) IRC+ "CHARCONV" command to set a client
351 character set that the server translates all messages to/from UTF-8.
352 This feature requires the "libiconv" library and must be enabled using
353 the new "--with-iconv" option of the ./configure script. See
354 doc/Protocol.txt for details. (Closes #109)
355 - Implement user mode "B" ("Bot flag"): it is settable and unsettable by
356 every (non-restricted) client. This is how Unreal and InspIRCd do
357 behave, and so do we :-)
358 - Implement channel mode "M": Only the server, identified users and IRC
359 operators are able to talk in such a channel.
360 - Block nicknames that are reserved for services and are defined using the
361 configuration variable "ServiceMask" in "Server" blocks; And this
362 variable now can handle more than one mask separated by commas.
363 - Implemented XOP channel user modes: "Half Op" ("+h", prefix "%") can set
364 the channel modes +imntvIbek and kick all +v and normal users; "Admin"
365 ("+a", prefix "&") can set channel modes +imntvIbekoRsz and kick all +o,
366 +h, +v and normal users; and "Owner" ("+q", prefix "~") can set channel
367 modes +imntvIbekoRsz and kick all +a, +o, +h, +v and normal users.
368 - Implement hashed cloaked hostnames for both the "CloakHost" and
369 "CloakHostModeX" configuration options: now the admin can use the new
370 '%x' placeholder to insert a hashed version of the clients hostname,
371 and the new configuration option "CloakHostSalt" defines the salt for
372 the hash function. When "CloakHostSalt" is not set (the default), a
373 random salt will be generated after each server restart.
375 ngIRCd 19.2 (2012-06-19)
377 ngIRCd 19.2~rc1 (2012-06-13)
378 - New configuration option "CloakHostModeX" to configure the hostname
379 that gets used for IRC clients which have user mode "+x" enabled.
380 Up to now, the name of the IRC server itself has been used for this,
381 which still is the default when "CloakHostModeX" isn't set.
382 - Add instructions for setting up Atheme IRC services.
383 - Implement support for IRC capability handling, the new "CAP" command,
384 and capability "multi-prefix" which allows both the NAME and WHO command
385 handlers to return more than one "class prefix" to the client.
387 ngIRCd 19.1 (2012-03-19)
389 - Really include _all_ patches to build the Anope module into the
390 distribution archive ... ooops!
392 ngIRCd 19 (2012-02-29)
394 ngIRCd 19~rc1 (2012-02-12)
395 - Update preliminary ngIRCd protocol module for Anope 1.9.6, which now
396 is the only supported version.
397 - New numeric RPL_WHOISHOST_MSG(378), which returns the DNS host name
398 (if available) and the IP address of a client in the WHOIS reply.
399 Only the user itself and local IRC operators get this numeric.
400 - Implement channel exception list (mode 'e'). This allows a channel
401 operator to define exception masks that allow users to join the
402 channel even when a "ban" would match and prevent them from joining:
403 the exception list (e) overrides the ban list (b).
404 - Implement user mode 'C': If the target user of a PRIVMSG or NOTICE
405 command has the user mode 'C' set, it is required that both sender
406 and receiver are on the same channel. This prevents private flooding
407 by completely unknown clients.
408 - New RPL_WHOISREGNICK_MSG(307) numeric in WHOIS command replies: it
409 indicates if a nickname is registered (if user mode 'R' set).
410 - Limit channel invite, ban, and exception lists to 50 entries and fix
411 duplicate check and error messages when adding already listed entries
412 or deleting no (longer) existing ones.
413 - Limit the number of list items in the reply of LIST (100), WHO (25),
414 WHOIS (10), and WHOWAS (25) commands.
415 - Limit the MODE command to handle a maximum number of 5 channel modes
416 that require an argument (+Ibkl) per call and report this number
417 in the ISUPPORT(005) numeric: "MODES=5".
418 - LINKS command: support <mask> parameter to limit the reply.
419 - Add 1 second penalty for every further target on PRIVMSG/NOTICE
420 commands: this reduces the possibility of flooding channels with
421 commands like "PRIVMSG/NOTICE #a,#n,#c,... :message" a little bit.
422 Problem noticed by Cahata, thanks!
423 - New configuration option "PAMIsOptional": when set, clients not
424 sending a password are still allowed to connect: they won't become
425 "identified" and keep the "~" character prepended to their supplied
426 user name. See "man 5 ngircd.conf" for details.
427 - Fixed handling of WHO commands. This fixes two bugs: "WHO <nick>"
428 returned nothing at all if the user was "+i" (reported by Cahata,
429 thanks) and "WHO <nick|nickmask>" returned channel names instead
430 of "*" when the user was member of a (visible) channel.
431 - LUSERS reply: only count channels that are visible to the requesting
432 client, so the existence of secret channels is no longer revealed by
433 using LUSERS. Reported by Cahata, thanks!
434 - Unknown user and channel modes no longer stop the mode parser, but
435 are simply ignored. Therefore modes after the unknown one are now
436 handled. This is how ircd2.10/ircd2.11/ircd-seven behave, at least.
437 Reported by Cahata, thanks!
438 - Implement IRC commands "GLINE" and "KLINE" to ban users. G-Lines are
439 synchronized between server on peering, K-Lines are local only.
440 If you use "*!<user>@<host>" or "*!*@<host>" masks, these connections
441 are blocked even before the user is fully logged in (before PASS,
442 NICK, and USER commands have been processed) and before the child
443 processes for authentication are forked, so resource usage is smaller.
444 - Added doc/Modes.txt: document modes supported by ngIRCd.
445 - Implement user mode "R": indicates that the nickname of this user
446 is "registered". This mode isn't handled by ngIRCd itself, but must
447 be set and unset by IRC services like Anope.
448 - Implement channel mode "R": only registered users (having the user
449 mode "R" set) are allowed to join this channel.
450 - Test suite: bind to loopback (127.0.0.1) interface only.
451 - Handle unknown user and channel modes: these modes are saved and
452 forwarded to other servers, but ignored otherwise.
453 - Handle channel user modes 'a', 'h', and 'q' from remote servers.
454 These channel user modes aren't used for anything at the moment,
455 but ngIRCd knows that these three modes are "channel user modes"
456 and not "channel modes", that is that these modes take an "nickname"
457 argument. Like unknown user and channel modes, these modes are saved
458 and forwarded to other servers, but ignored otherwise.
460 ngIRCd 18 (2011-07-10)
462 - Add preliminary ngIRCd protocol module for Anope 1.9 to contrib/Anope/.
464 ngIRCd 18~rc2 (2011-06-29)
465 - GnuTLS: use 1024 bits as minimum size of the DH prime. This enables
466 ngIRCd to accept incoming connections from other servers and clients
467 that "only" use at least 1024 bits again, like ngIRCd 17 did (and no
468 longer requires 2048 bits for incoming connections).
470 ngIRCd 18~rc1 (2011-06-27)
471 - New configuration option "MorePrivacy" to "censor" some user information.
472 When enabled, signon time and idle time is left out. Part and quit
473 messages are made to look the same. WHOWAS requests are silently dropped.
474 All of this is useful if one wish to conceal users that access the ngircd
475 servers from TOR or I2P.
476 - New configuration option "ScrubCTCP" to scrub incoming CTCP commands. If
477 activated, the server silently drops incoming CTCP requests from both
478 other servers and from users. The server that scrubs CTCP will not forward
479 the CTCP requests to other servers in the network either, which can spell
480 trouble if not every oper knows about the CTCP-scrubbing. Scrubbing CTCP
481 commands also means that it is not possible to send files between users.
482 There is one exception to the CTCP scrubbing performed: ACTION ("/me
483 commands") requests are not scrubbed.
484 - Restructure ngIRCd configuration file: introduce new [Limits], [Options],
485 and [SSL] sections. The intention of this restructuring is to make the
486 [Global] section much cleaner, so that it only contains variables that
487 most installations must adjust to the local requirements. All the optional
488 variables are moved to [Limits], for configurable limits and timers of
489 ngIRCd, and [Options], for optional features. All SSL-related variables
490 are moved to [SSL] and the "SSL"-prefix is stripped. The old variables in
491 the [Global] section are deprecated now, but are still recognized.
492 => Don't forget to check your configuration, use "ngircd --configtest"!
493 - New documentation "how to contribute": doc/Contributing.txt.
494 - Avoid needlessly scary 'buffer overflow' messages: When the write buffer
495 space grows too large, ngIRCd has to disconnect the client to avoid
496 wasting too much memory, which is logged with a scary 'write buffer
497 overflow' message. Change this to a more descriptive wording.
498 - New configuration option "RequireAuthPing": PING-PONG on login. When
499 enabled, this configuration option lets ngIRCd send a PING with an numeric
500 "token" to clients logging in; and it will not become registered in the
501 network until the client responds with the correct PONG.
502 - New configuration option "NoticeAuth": send NOTICE AUTH on connect. When
503 active, ngircd will send "NOTICE AUTH" messages on client connect time
504 like e.g. snircd (QuakeNet) does.
505 - Add support for up to 3 targets in WHOIS queries, also allow up to one
506 wildcard query from local hosts. Follows ircd 2.10 implementation rather
507 than RFC 2812. At most 10 entries are returned per wildcard expansion.
508 - ngircd.conf(5) manual page: describe types of configuration variables
509 (booleans, text strings, integer numbers) and add type information to each
510 variable description.
511 - Terminate incoming connections on HTTP commands "GET" and "POST".
512 - New configuration option "CloakHost": when set, this host name is used for
513 every client instead of the real DNS host name (or IP address).
514 - New configuration option "CloakUserToNick": when enabled, ngIRCd sets
515 every clients' user name to their nickname and hides the user name
516 supplied by the IRC client.
517 - Make write buffers bigger, but flush early. Before this change, a client
518 got disconnected if the buffer flushing at 4k failed, now regular clients
519 can store up to 32k and servers up 64k even if flushing is not possible at
520 the moment. This enhances reliability on slow links.
521 - Allow "Port = 0" in [Server] blocks. Port number 0 marks remote servers
522 that try to connect to this daemon, but where this daemon never tries to
523 establish a connection on its own: only incoming connections are allowed.
524 - Enable WHOIS command to return information about services.
525 - Implement channel mode 'O': "IRC operators only". This channel mode is
526 used on DALnet (bahamut), for example.
527 - Remove support for ZeroConf/Bonjour/Rendezvous service registration
528 including the "[No]ZeroConf" configuration option.
529 - Deprecate NoXX-Options in ngircd.conf and move new variants into our new
530 [Options] section: 'NoDNS=no' => 'DNS=yes', 'NoIdent=no' => 'Ident=yes',
531 'NoPAM=no' => 'PAM=yes', and 'NoZeroConf=no' => 'ZeroConf=yes' (and
532 vice-versa). The defaults are adjusted accordingly and the old variables
533 in [Global] are still accepted, so there is no functional change.
535 ngIRCd 17.1 (2010-12-19)
537 - Don't log critical (or worse) messages to stderr
538 - Remove "error file" when compiled with debug code enabled
539 - New numeric 329: get channel creation time on "MODE #chan" commands
541 ngIRCd 17 (2010-11-07)
543 - doc: change path names in sample-ngircd.conf depending on sysconfdir
545 ngIRCd 17~rc2 (2010-10-25)
546 - Generate ngIRCd version number from GIT tag.
547 - Make source code compatible with ansi2knr again. This allows to compile
548 ngIRCd using a pre-ANSI K&R C compiler again.
550 ngIRCd 17~rc1 (2010-10-11)
551 - New configuration option "NoZeroConf" to disable service registration at
552 runtime even if ngIRCd is compiled with support for ZeroConf (e.g. using
553 Howl, Avahi or on Mac OS X).
554 - New configuration option "SyslogFacility" to define the syslog "facility"
555 (the "target"), to which ngIRCd should send its log messages.
556 Possible values are system dependent, but most probably "auth", "daemon",
557 "user" and "local1" through "local7" are possible values; see syslog(3).
558 Default is "local5" for historical reasons.
559 - Dump the "internal server state" (configured servers, established
560 connections and known clients) to the console or syslog when receiving
561 the SIGUSR2 signal and debug mode is enabled.
562 - Enable the daemon to disable and enable "debug mode" on runtime using
563 signal SIGUSR1, when debug code is compiled in, not only on startup
564 using the command line parameters.
565 - Implement user mode "x": host name cloaking (closes: #102).
566 - Change MOTD file handling: ngIRCd now caches the contents of the MOTD
567 file, so the daemon now requires a HUP signal or REHASH command to
568 re-read the MOTD file when its content changed.
569 - Allow IRC ops to change channel modes even without OperServerMode set.
570 - Allow IRC operators to use MODE command on any channel (closes: #100).
571 - New configuration option "NoPAM" to disable PAM.
572 - Implement asynchronous user authentication using PAM, please see the
573 file doc/PAM.txt for details.
574 - Add some documentation for using BOPM with ngIRCd, see doc/Bopm.txt.
575 - Implement user mode "c": receive connect/disconnect NOTICEs. Note that
576 this new mode requires the user to be an IRC operator.
577 - Show SSL status in WHOIS output, numeric 275.
579 ngIRCd 16 (2010-05-02)
581 ngIRCd 16~rc2 (2010-04-25)
582 - Enhance connection statistics counters: display total number of served
583 connections on daemon shutdown and when a new client connects using
584 the new numeric RPL_STATSCONN (250).
586 ngIRCd 16~rc1 (2010-03-25)
587 - Implement WEBIRC command used by some Web-IRC frontends. The password
588 required to secure this command must be configured using the new
589 "WebircPassword" variable in the ngircd.conf file.
590 - Remove limit on max number of configured irc operators.
591 - A new channel mode "secure connections only" (+z) has been implemented:
592 Only clients using a SSL encrypted connection to the server are allowed
593 to join such a channel.
594 But please note three things: a) already joined clients are not checked
595 when setting this mode, b) IRC operators are always allowed to join
596 every channel, and c) remote clients using a server not supporting this
597 mode are not checked either and therefore always allowed to join.
599 ngIRCd 15 (2009-11-07)
601 ngIRCd 15~rc1 (2009-10-15)
602 - Do not add default listening port (6667) if SSL ports were specified, so
603 ngIRCd can be configured to only accept SSL-encrypted connections now.
604 - Enable IRC operators to use the IRC command SQUIT (instead of the already
605 implemented but non-standard DISCONNECT command).
606 - New configuration option "AllowRemoteOper" (disabled by default) that
607 enables remote IRC operators to use the IRC commands SQUIT and CONNECT
609 - Enforce upper limit on maximum number of handled commands. This implements
610 a throttling scheme: an IRC client can send up to 3 commands or 256 bytes
611 per second before a one second pause is enforced.
613 ngIRCd 14.1 (2009-05-05)
615 - Security: fix remotely triggerable crash in SSL/TLS code.
616 - Debian: build ngircd-full-dbg package.
617 - Allow ping timeout quit messages to show the timeout value.
619 ngIRCd 14 (2009-04-20)
621 ngIRCd 14~rc1 (2009-03-29)
622 - Allow creation of persistent modeless channels.
623 - The INFO command reports the compile time now (if available).
624 - Support individual channel keys for pre-defined channels: introduce
625 new configuration variable "KeyFile" in [Channel] sections in ngircd.conf,
626 here a file can be configured for each pre-defined channel which contains
627 individual channel keys for different users.
628 - Remove limit on maximum number of predefined channels in ngircd.conf.
630 ngIRCd 13 (2008-12-25)
632 ngIRCd 13~rc1 (2008-11-21):
633 - New version number scheme :-)
634 - Initial support for IRC services, using a RFC1459 style interface,
635 tested with IRCServices (http://www.ircservices.za.net/) version 5.1.13.
636 For this to work, ngIRCd now supports server-server links conforming
637 to RFC 1459. New ngircd.conf(5) option: ServiceMask.
638 - Support for SSL-encrypted server-server and client-server links using
639 OpenSSL (configure: --with-openssl) or GNUTLS (configure: --with-gnutls).
640 New ngircd.conf(5) options: SSLPorts, SSLKeyFile, SSLKeyFilePassword,
641 SSLCertFile, SSLDHFile, and SSLConnect.
642 - Server local channels have been implemented, prefix "&", that are only
643 visible to users of the same server and are not visible in the network.
644 In addition ngIRCd creates a "special" channel &SERVER on startup and logs
645 all the messages to it that a user with mode +s receives.
646 - New make target "osxpkg" to build a Mac OS X installer package.
647 - New configuration option "NoIdent" to disable IDENT lookups even if the
648 daemon is compiled with IDENT support.
650 ngIRCd 0.12.1 (2008-07-09)
652 - Add option aliases -V (for --version) and -h (for --help).
653 - Make Listen parameter a comma-separated list of addresses. This also
654 obsoletes ListenIPv4 and ListenIPv6 options. If Listen is unset, it
655 is treated as Listen="::,0.0.0.0".
656 Note: ListenIPv4 and ListenIPv6 options are still recognized,
657 but ngircd will print a warning if they are used in the config file.
659 ngIRCd 0.12.0 (2008-05-13)
661 ngIRCd 0.12.0-pre2 (2008-04-29)
662 - IPv6: Add config options to disable ipv4/ipv6 support.
664 ngIRCd 0.12.0-pre1 (2008-04-20)
666 - Install a LaunchDaemon script to start/stop ngIRCd on Mac OS X.
667 - Implemented IRC commands INFO, SUMMON (dummy), and USERS (dummy) and
668 enhanced test suite to check these commands. (Dana Dahlstrom)
669 - IRC_WHO now supports search patterns and will test this against user
670 nickname/server name/host name, etc. as required by RFC 2812, Section 3.6.1.
671 (reported by Dana Dahlstrom)
672 - Implement RFC 2812 handling of "0" argument to 'JOIN': must be treated
673 as if the user had sent PART commands for all channels the user is a
674 member of. (Dana Dahlstrom)
675 - Allow NOTICEs to be sent to a channel. (Fabian Schlager)
677 ngIRCd 0.11.0 (2008-01-15)
679 - Add support for /STAT u (server uptime) command.
680 - New [Server] configuration Option "Bind" allows to specify
681 the source IP address to use when connecting to remote server.
682 - New configuration option "MaxNickLength" to specify the allowed maximum
683 length of user nicknames. Note: must be unique in an IRC network!
684 - Numeric 317: implemented "signon time" (displayed in WHOIS result).
685 - Added new server configuration option "Passive" for "Server" blocks to
686 disable automatic outgoing connections (similar to -p option to ngircd,
687 but only for the specified server). (Tassilo Schweyer)
688 - Added support for the WALLOPS command. Usage is restricted to IRC
691 ngIRCd 0.10.2 (2007-06-08)
693 - Predefined channel configuration now allows specification of channel key
694 (mode k) and maximum user count (mode l): variables "Key" and "MaxUsers".
695 - When using the epoll() IO interface, compile in the select() interface as
696 well and fall back to it when epoll() isn't available on runtime.
697 - Added support for IO APIs "poll()" and "/dev/poll".
699 ngIRCd 0.10.1 (2006-12-17)
701 - Allow PASS syntax defined in RFC 1459 for server links, too.
702 - New configuration option "PredefChannelsOnly": if set, clients can only
703 join predefined channels.
705 ngIRCd 0.10.0 (2006-10-01)
707 ngIRCd 0.10.0-pre1 (2006-08-02)
708 - Enhanced DIE to accept a single parameter ("comment text") which is sent
709 to all locally connected clients before the server goes down.
710 - JOIN now supports more than one channel key at a time.
711 - Implemented numeric "333": Time and user name who set a channel topic.
712 - Channel topics are no longer limited to 127 characters: now the only limit
713 is the maximum length of an IRC command, i. e. 512 bytes (in practice, this
714 limits the topic to about 490 characters due to protocol overhead).
715 - Reverse DNS lookup code now checks the result by doing an additional
716 lookup to prevent spoofing.
717 - Added new IO layer which (optionally) supports epoll() and kqueue() in
718 addition to the select() interface.
720 ngIRCd 0.9.0 (2005-07-24)
722 - Never run with root privileges but always switch the user ID.
723 - Make "netsplit" messages RFC compliant.
724 - Implemented the IRC function "WHOWAS".
725 - New configuration option "OperServerMode" to enable a workaround needed
726 when running an network with ircd2 servers and "OperCanUseMode" enabled
727 to prevent the ircd2 daemon to drop mode changes of IRC operators.
728 Patch by Florian Westphal, <westphal@foo.fh-furtwangen.de>.
729 - Implemented support for "secret channels" (channel mode "s").
730 - New configuration option "Mask" for [Operator] sections to limit OPER
731 commands to users with a specific IRC mask. Patch from Florian Westphal.
732 - New configuration variable "PidFile", section "[Global]": if defined,
733 the server writes its process ID (PID) to this file. Default: off.
734 Idea of Florian Westphal, <westphal@foo.fh-furtwangen.de>.
735 - Added support for the Howl (http://www.porchdogsoft.com/products/howl/)
736 Rendezvous API, in addition to the API of Apple (Mac OS X). The available
737 API will be autodetected when you call "./configure --with-rendezvous".
739 ngIRCd 0.8.0 (2004-06-26)
741 - Two new configuration options: "ChrootDir" and "MotdPhrase", thanks to
742 Benjamin Pineau <ben@zouh.org>. Now you can force the daemon to change
743 its root and working directory to something "safe". MotdPhrase is used
744 to define an "MOTD string" instead of a whole file, useful if the
745 "real" MOTD file would be outside the "jail".
746 - INVITE- and BAN-lists become synchronized between IRC+ servers when
747 establishing new connections, if the peer supports this as well.
748 - The type of service (TOS) of all sockets is set to "interactive" now.
749 - Added short command line option "-t" as alternative to "--configtest".
750 - Added optional support for "IDENT" lookups on incoming connections. You
751 have to enable this function with the ./configure switch "--with-ident".
752 The default is not to do IDENT lookups.
754 ngIRCd 0.7.5 (2003-07-11)
756 - New configuration variable "MaxConnectionsIP" to limit the number of
757 simultaneous connections from a single IP that the server will accept.
758 This configuration options lowers the risk of denial of service attacks
759 (DoS), the default is 5 connections per client IP.
760 - Added new configuration variable "Listen" to bind all listening
761 sockets of the server to a single IP address.
763 ngIRCd 0.7.1 (2003-07-18)
765 - Added support for GNU/Hurd.
767 ngIRCd 0.7.0 (2003-05-01)
769 - New command CONNECT to enable and add server links. The syntax is not
770 RFC-compatible: use "CONNECT <name> <port>" to enable and connect an
771 configured server and "CONNECT <name> <port> <host> <mypwd> <peerpwd>"
772 to add a new server (ngIRCd tries to connect new servers only once!).
773 - Added DISCONNECT command ("DISCONNECT <name>") to disable servers.
774 - New command TRACE (you can trace only servers at the moment).
775 - New command HELP that lists all understood commands.
776 - ngIRCd can register itself with Rendezvous: to enable support pass the
777 new switch "--with-rendezvous" to configure.
778 - Added support for TCP Wrappers library: pass "--with-tcp-wrappers" to
779 configure to enable it.
780 - Changed some configure options to use "--with"/"--without" as prefix
781 instead of "--enable"/"--disable": "--without-syslog", "--without-zlib",
782 "--with-tcp-wrappers", and "--with-rendezvous".
783 - Enhanced manual pages ngircd(8) and ngircd.conf(5).
784 - Documentation is now installed in $(datadir)/doc/ngircd.
787 Older news (sorry, only available in German language):
789 ngIRCd 0.6.0, 24.12.2002
791 - beim Schliessen einer Verbindung zeigt der Server nun vor dem ERROR
792 noch eine Statistik ueber die empfangene und gesendete Datenmenge an.
793 - Connection-Strukturen werden nun "pool-weise" verwaltet; der Pool wird
794 bei Bedarf bis zu einem konfigurierten Limit vergroessert.
795 - Mit der neuen Konfigurationsvariable "MaxConnections" (Sekion "Global")
796 kann die maximale Anzahl gleichzeitiger Verbindungen begrenzt werden.
797 Der Default ist -1, "unlimitiert".
798 - der Server erkennt nun, ob bereits eine eingehende Verbindung von einem
799 Peer-Server besteht und versucht dann nicht mehr, selber eine eigene
800 ausgehende Verbindung zu diesem auufzubauen. Dadurch kann nun auf beiden
801 Servern in der Konfiguration ein Port fuer den Connect konfiguriert
802 werden (beide Server versuchen sich dann gegenseitig zu connectieren).
803 - Server identifizieren sich nun mit asynchronen Passwoertern, d.h. das
804 Passwort, welches A an B schickt, kann ein anderes sein als das, welches
805 B als Antwort an A sendet. In der Konfig.-Datei, Abschnitt "Server",
806 wurde "Password" dazu durch "MyPassword" und "PeerPassword" ersetzt.
807 - Der Server kann nun zur Laufzeit die Konfiguration neu einlesen: dies
808 macht er nach dem Befehl REHASH oder wenn ein HUP-Signal empfangen wird.
809 - Server-Server-Links koennen nun komprimiert werden, dazu wird die zlib
810 (www.zlib.org) benoetigt. Unterstuetzt die Gegenseite die Komprimierung
811 nicht, wird automatisch unkomprimiert kommuniziert. Das Verfahren ist
812 kompatibel mit dem Original-ircd 2.10.3, d.h. beide Server koennen
813 miteinander ueber komprimiert Links kommunizieren.
814 - neue Konfigurations-Variable "MaxJoins": Hiermit kann die maximale Zahl
815 der Channels, in denen ein User Mitglied sein kann, begrent werden.
816 - neue Channel-Modes l (User-Limit) und k (Channel-Key) implementiert.
818 ngIRCd 0.5.0, 20.09.2002
820 - AIX (3.2.5), HP-UX (10.20), IRIX (6.5), NetBSD (1.5.3/m68k) und Solaris
821 (2.5.1, 2.6) gehoeren nun auch zu den unterstuetzten Platformen.
822 - Unter A/UX (und evtl. weiteren Systemen) kompiliert der ngIRCd nun mit
823 dem "nativen" (ggf. pre-ANSI) Compiler.
824 - "persistente Channels" (Mode 'P') implementiert: diese koennen in der
825 Konfigurationsdatei definiert werden (Sektion "Channel", vgl. Beispiel-
826 Konfiguration "sample-ngircd.conf") und bleiben auch dann bestehen,
827 wenn kein User mehr im Channel ist.
828 - neue IRC-Befehle: KICK, INVITE, ADMIN, CHANINFO; LIST wurde erweitert.
829 Mit dem neuen Befehl CHANINFO synchronisieren Server, die das IRC+-
830 Protokoll unterstuetzen, Channel-Modes und Topics. Fuer den ADMIN-Befehl
831 gibt es neue Konfigurationsoptionen (Sektion "Global"): "AdminInfo1",
832 "AdminInfo2" und "AdminEMail".
833 - Invite- und Ban-Lists implementiert.
834 - neue Konfigurationsoption "OperCanUseMode" (Sektion "Global"):
835 ist sie aktiv, koennen IRC-Operatoren immer Channel-Modes setzen.
836 - "Test-Suite" begonnen: mit "make check" wird sie durchlaufen.
838 ngIRCd 0.4.2, 29.04.2002
840 - IRC-Funktion LIST implementiert; bisher werden allerdings noch keine
841 Regular Expressions (bis auf "*") unterstuetzt.
843 ngIRCd 0.4.0, 01.04.2002
845 - WHO implementiert (bisher ohne komplette Unterstuetzung von Masks).
846 - stderr wird nun in eine Datei umgelenkt (/ngircd-<PID>.err).
847 Laeuft der Server nicht im Debug-Modus, so wird diese bei Programm-
848 ende geloescht. Sollte der Server abstuerzen, finden sich hier evtl.
849 zusaetzliche Informationen.
850 - Server-Gruppen implementiert: es wird immer nur zu einem Server in
851 einer Gruppe eine Verbindung aufgebaut, klappt es beim ersten Server
852 nicht, so wird der naechste probiert.
853 - Clients und Channels werden nicht mehr ueber ihren Namen, sondern
854 einen Hash-Wert gesucht: sollte deutlich schneller sein.
855 - neuer Kommandozeilen-Parameter "--configtest": die Konfiguration wird
856 gelesen und die dann verwendeten Werte angezeigt.
857 - Client-Mode "s" (Server Notices) implementiert.
858 - mit dem neuen Kommandozeilen-Parameter "--config"/"-f" kann eine
859 alternative Konfigurationsdatei angegeben werden.
860 - nach dem Start kann der ngIRCd, wenn er mit root-Rechten laeuft,
861 zu einer anderen User-ID und Group-ID wechseln.
863 ngIRCd 0.3.0, 02.03.2002
865 - bekommt der Server ein HUP-Signal, so startet er neu -- genau so, wie
866 er auf den IRC-Befehl RESTART reagiert.
867 - neuer Kommandozeilen-Schalter "--passive" (-p): wird er angegeben, so
868 verbindet sich der ngIRCd nicht mehr automatisch zu anderen Servern.
869 Zum Debuggen manchmal ganz praktisch :-)
870 - neue Befehle VERSION und KILL implementiert. NAMES korrigiert.
871 - Anpassungen an A/UX: gehoert nun auch zu den unterstuetzten Platformen.
872 - AWAY (und der User-Mode 'a') ist nun implementiert.
873 - der ngIRCd unterstuetzt nun Channel-Topics (TOPIC-Befehl).
874 - Channel- und Nicknames werden nun ordentlich validiert.
876 ngIRCd 0.2.0, 15.02.2002
878 - Begonnen Channel-Modes und User-Channel-Modes zu implementieren: der
879 Server versteht an User-Modes o und v, beachtet letzteres allerdings
880 noch nirgends. Bekannte (aber nicht beachtete!) Channel-Modes sind
881 bisher a, m, n, p, q, s und t. Diese Modes werden von Usern ange-
882 nommen, von anderen Servern werden auch unbekannte Modes uebernommen.
883 - Nach dem Connect eines Users werden LUSERS-Informationen angezeigt.
885 ngIRCd 0.1.0, 29.01.2002
887 - Channels implementiert, bisher jedoch noch ohne Channel-Modes, d.h.
888 es gibt keine Channel-Ops, kein Topic, kein "topic lock" etc. pp.
889 Chatten in Channels ist aber natuerlich moeglich ;-)
890 Dadurch zum Teil groessere Aenderungen an bisherigen Funktionen.
891 - neue Befehle fuer Channles: JOIN, PART und NJOIN.
892 - FAQ.txt in doc/ begonnen.
894 ngIRCd 0.0.3, 16.01.2002
896 - Server-Links vollstaendig implementiert: der ngIRCd kann nun auch
897 "Sub-Server" haben, also sowohl als Leaf-Node als auch Hub in einem
898 IRC-Netzwerk arbeiten.
899 - WHOIS wird nun immer an den "Original-Server" weitergeleitet.
900 - Parser handhabt Leerzeichen zw. Parametern nun etwas "lockerer".
901 - Kommandozeilen-Parser: Debug- und No-Daemon-Modus, Hilfe.
902 - ngIRCd wandelt sich nun in einen Daemon (Hintergrundprozess) um.
903 - neue Befehle: LUSERS, LINKS.
905 ngIRCd 0.0.2, 06.01.2002
907 - neuer Aufbau der Konfigurationsdatei,
908 - mehrere IRC-Operatoren koennen konfiguriert werden,
909 - Server-Links teilweise implementiert. Bisher kann der ngIRCd jedoch
910 nur "leafed server" sein, d.h. keine "Client-Server" haben.
912 ngIRCd 0.0.1, 31.12.2001
914 - erste oeffentliche Version von ngIRCd als "public preview" :-)
