ngIRCd release 15~rc1

Updated NEWS and ChangeLog files

Make sure forwarded CONNECT commands are handled correctly

Generate WALLOPS message on operator-generated SQUIT

Enable SQUIT command for IRC Operators This patch enables IRC Operators to use the SQUIT command as specified in RFC 2812, section 3.1.8 "Squit". When forwarding SQUIT commands, the server connected to the target will drop the connection (not the target server itself!). Please note: - the configuration option "AllowRemoteOper" mus be enabled on the server disconnecting the target to allow forwarding of SQUIT commands. - if the remote server is configured to establish the connection, it will just do this; so the disconnect is not permanent in this case!

Xcode: added new op.{c|h} to project file

Use functions provided by op.c "module" Local functions Check_Oper() and No_Privileges() have been replaced by global functions in op.c "module": Op_Check() and Op_NoPrivileges().

New "module" op.c/op.h for IRC operator related functions The new "module" op.c is used to implement functions related to IRC Ops. At the moment, these two functions are available: - Op_Check() to check for a valid IRC Op, and - Op_NoPrivileges() to generate "permission denied" messages.

Allow forwarding of CONNECT commands. The syntax of the CONNECT command now is: - CONNECT <server-id> - CONNECT <server-id> <port> - CONNECT <server-id> <port> <target> - CONNECT <server-id> <port> <host> <my-pwd> <peer-pwd> - CONNECT <server-id> <port> <host> <my-pwd> <peer-pwd> <target> Note: the configuration option "AllowRemoteOper" mus be enabled on the target server to allow forwarding of CONNECT commands.

Check_Oper(): check origin of forwarded messages instead of server.

No_Privileges(): handle forwarded messages.

IRC_SendWallops(): support format string and variable parameter lists.

CONNECT, DISCONNECT: generate WALLOPS messages

New function IRC_SendWallops(). Implement new global function IRC_SendWallops() that can be called by other functions to generate WALLOPS messages to users with +w mode.

Code cleanup of IRC_DISCONNECT().

Code cleanup of IRC_SQUIT() in preparation to deal with bug #73.

New local functions Check_Oper() and No_Privileges().

Bad_OperPass(): code cleanup.

New configuration option "AllowRemoteOper" Added new configuration option "AllowRemoteOper" to control whether remote IRC operators are allowed to use administrative commands that affect this server or not This commit introduces the configuration variable, but actually no function is using it. That's up for the next patches to come ...

fix assertion failure in ng_ipaddr.c when building with debugging enabled, but without ipv6 support, ngircd dumped core when loading a config file that specified an ipv6 listen address. ngircd: ng_ipaddr.c:45: ng_ipaddr_init: Assertion `sizeof(*addr) >= res0->ai_addrlen' failed.

configtest: complain when ssl keys are not readable

Check for sockaddr_in.sin_len and initialize it Test for sockaddr_in.sin_len and initialize it to the correct value which some systems (notably Mac OS X) require. Note: this code path is only relevant when not using getaddrinfo().

Always use get{addr|name}info() when available Both getaddrinfo() and getnameinfo() are now used always when available, and not only when compiling ngIRCd with support for IPv6. This not only enables ngIRCd to handle multiple addresses per hostname when compiled without support for IPv6, but fixes binding ngIRCd to IP addresses on Mac OS X (and probably other BSD-based systems) as well: these systems require that sockaddr_in is zeroed out and sockaddr_in.sin_len is set to sizeof(sockaddr_in) like that: src/ipaddr/ng_ipaddr.c, line 54: assert(ip_str); + memset(addr, 0, sizeof *addr); + addr->sin4.sin_len = sizeof(addr->sin4); addr->sin4.sin_family = AF_INET; But this would break all the systems not using sockaddr_in.sin_len, for example Linux -- so we assume that all these systems provide getaddrinfo() and use that for now.

Xcode: add "debug" configuration to project

Fix cb_connserver() to handle aborted outgoing connections A configured server could have been removed while a connection apptempt is still in progress. So the cb_connserver() callback has to test if the server configuration record is still valid.

conn.c: fix more sizeof(..dst_addr) misuse the wrong sizeof() usage fixed in d76910ce7b9fad5679b7c614ed086e036560e37d (conn.c: fix resolver server address backlog) was a bit more widespread, fix all others, too.

resolve.c: fix valgrind 'uninitialized memory' warning fix the following warning generated by valgrind if ipv6 is enabled: Syscall param write(buf) points to uninitialised byte(s) at 0x4000982: (within /lib/ld-2.9.so) by 0x80681A8: Resolve_Name (resolve.c:477) by 0x805439F: Conn_Handler (conn.c:1658) by 0x804AA7C: main (ngircd.c:331) The warning is because ng_ipaddr_t can be a union, and only the necessary parts are initialised. The callers know what part of the union is valid, so this is not a bug.

conn.c: fix resolver server address backlog if more than one ip address is returned for a single host name, ngircd is supposed to try other addresses in case connect() to the first address returned fails for some reason. Alexander Barton noticed that this did not work at all, as the additional results were not stored.

Fix "implicit conversion shortens 64-bit value" warning This patch fixes the following gcc warning in our sources: "implicit conversion shortens 64-bit value into a 32-bit value"

Xcode: use gcc 4.0 for Mac OS X 10.4 compatibility

Channel_Mode(): fix return code of function Fix error handling of Channel_Mode() to return the correct connection status ("connected"/"disconnected") insted of always returning success.

IRC_SERVER(): code cleanup, remove unneeded variable

IRC_PASS(): remove unnecessary variable initialization

Conn_Close(): remove unused variable "txt"

Mac OS X: fix test for packagemaker(1) tool in Makefile

Fix --with-{openssl|gnutls} to accept path names This patch fixes --with-openssl and --with-gnutls and enables both to accept path names, so that you can use "./configure --with-XXX=/path". All the other --with-XXX parameters support this already.

do not add default listening port if ssl ports were specified Cosmo Kastemaa reported that its impossible to create an ssl-only setup, as ngircd binds to port 6667 by default, even if setting "Ports =". Only add the default port if _both_ "Ports" and "SSLPorts" are unspecified. Fixes bugzilla #98.

Fix LSB header of Debian init script

Use AM_SILENT_RULES([yes]), if available Starting with GNU automake 1.11 "AM_SILENT_RULES([yes])" is available to make the build process less verbose ("Linux 2.6 style") which helps to spot warning and error messages. So we use it if it is available.

Update NEWS and ChangeLog for next release

Updated doc/Platforms.txt

New script contrib/platformtest.sh This script analyzes the build process of ngIRCd and generates output suitable for inclusion in doc/Platforms.txt.

doc/Platforms.txt: ngircd builds on hppa2.0w-hp-hpux11.11 target Goetz Hoffart reports successful compile on HPUX/HPPA (on ngircd mailing list): Target: hppa2.0w-hp-hpux11.11 Compiler: gcc Compiler flags: -g -O2 -pipe -W -Wall -Wpointer-arith -Wstrict-prototypes -fstack-protector -D_XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED -DSYSCONFDIR='"$(sysconfdir)"' Libraries: -lz -lnsl Syslog support: yes Enable debug code: no zlib compression: yes IRC sniffer: no Use TCP Wrappers: no Strict RFC mode: no Zeroconf support: no IRC+ protocol: yes IDENT support: no I/O backend: "poll()" IPv6 protocol: no SSL support: no

Client_CheckID(): fix connection information This patch fixes the following silly log messages: 'ID "XXX" already registered (on connection -1)!' If the ID is already registered on a local connection, the local connection ID is printed; and if the ID is connected via a remote server, "via network" is displayed.

Fix return code of Conf_EnableServer() Conf_EnableServer() only reports success if all required variables, including host name and port, are set for the specific server.

AUTHORS: update my email address

add section and rfc number to comment about QUIT error

enforce upper limit on maximum number of handled commands reported on #ngircd: pasting lots of lines into a channel can kill off many people on the channel if the read buffer is drained quickly enough and the client-side TCP can't keep up with the incoming data. This implements a throttling scheme: - an irc client may send up to 3 commands per second before a one second pause is enforced. - an irc client may send up to 256 bytes per second before a one second pause is enforced. After discussion with Alexander Barton, server <-> server links are treated specially: There is no artificial limit on the number of bytes sent per second, and up to 10 commands are processed per second before a pause is enforced. It may be neccessary to make those limits tuneable to accomondate larger networks, but for now they are compile time values.

conn.c: fix NumConnections imbalance New_Server() can call Conn_Close() in its error paths, but that function decrements the number of current active connections. Thus we need to increment it earlier.

SSL/TLS: fix error handling when ssl ctx init for outgoing server link fails

SSL/TLS: fix error path in gnutls ssl ctx allocation

manpage: move SSLConnect option to the right section

SSL/TLS: remove redundant asserts/ifdefs

SSL/TLS: proper indentation, remove erroneous comment

Update copyright notice, it's 2009 already!

Updated Debian "changelog" file for ngIRCd 14.1

ngIRCd release 14.1

Added start/stop script for Red Hat based distributions Script contributed by Naoya Nakazawa <naoya@sanow.net>.

Renamed contrib/ngircd.sh to contrib/ngircd-bsd.sh

security: fix remotely triggerable crash in SSL/TLS code When a server is running with SSL/TLS support compiled in, it is trivial to crash the server by sending an MOTD request via another server in the network. - ONLY servers without ssl/tls support compiled in are not affected. Disabling SSL in the configuration (no ssl listening ports, etc) does NOT help. - servers that are running standalone (i.e., not connected to any other servers) are not affected, either. This affects all ngircd releases since ngircd 13 (earlier versions have no SSL/TLS support).

Fixed "Conflicts:" line in debian/control: missing comma

Debian: build ngircd-full-dbg package In addition to the "ngircd" and "ngircd-full" packages a new package named "ngircd-full-dbg" is build: this package contains all the features of the "full" package but includes debug code and both the --debug and --sniffer options and the resulting binaries are _not_ stripped.

debian/rules: whitespace fixes

Fix server list announcement When ngircd announces the list of currently known servers to a new (connecting) server, it sent the introducer of the servers instead of the top server. Assuming this network: irc1.example.com |--irc2.example.com | `--irc3.example.com | `--irc4.example.com `--irc5.example.com When irc4 connects to irc3, irc3 tells irc4 that irc5 was connected to irc2. (irc2 had introduced irc5 to irc3; but thats not what ngircd should have sent to the new server). This also placed users on the wrong servers.

Doxygen: update source code repository link to GIT

allow ping timeout quit messages to show the timeout value

irc-server: do not remove hostnames from info text that code does not really make sense -- the info text is freely cofngiureable and des not follow a specific format. Also, that "+2" might have caused invalid memory accesses.

conn-zip: fix error handling callers of (Un)Zip_Buffer() assume that the function closes the connection on error. However, this was not always the case.

remove or translate old comments

client.c: remove unecessary comments

add const qualifier to pointers where possible

ngIRCd release 14

Display IPv6 addresses as "[<addr>]" when accepting connections. With this patch ngIRCd displays IPv6 addresses as "[<addr>]:<port>" when accepting new connections and later, if no successful DNS lookup could be made (or DNS is disabled altogether).

Xcode: #define include __DATE__ in VERSION Change VERSION to include the __DATE__ when compiling from within Xcode. When building using "make xcode" or "make osxpkg" VERSION already is defined to the "real" version number set in configure.in.

Fix ChangeLog: Local channels are already implemented in Release 13

Fix up last Debian changelog entry

ngIRCd release 14~rc1

Updated NEWS and ChangeLog files

Updated Debian/Linux init script - PidFile, ServerUID and ServerGID are read from actual server configuration - Exit code and behaviour is more LSB compliant - New "status" and "test" sub-functions

misspelling in ERR_NORECIPIENT reply

Add missing contributors to AUTHORS file

testsuite: add more predefined channels to server config make sure it creates & and +, and accepts channel names without a special character (ngircd should treat 'Name = chan' as 'Name = #chan').

allow creation of persistent modeless channels

add and use Channel_IsModeless() avoid "name[0] == '+'" where possible, having Channel_IsModeless() makes things much more obvious.

Enhance INFO command to report compile time, if available

Update NEWS and ChangeLog files

Channel mode changes: break on error Don't echo multiple syntax error messages (461) on invalid commands, but break after the first one. In addition, this solves corrupted 'Unknown mode "+' messages.

Channel_Mode(): code cleanup (no functional changes)

TLS/SSL: remove useless error message when ssl connection is closed When using OpenSSL, the following annoying "error" message was logged whenever an encrypted connection was shut down in a orderly fashion: TLS/SSL Connection shutdown: ConnSSL_Read: Unable to determine error of course, this isn't an error at all.

update ChangeLog.

SSL/TLS: clear all ssl realted flags on shutdown one ssl related flags was not cleared on ssl shutdown. introduce and use CONN_SSL_FLAGS_ALL to zap them all.

TLS/SSL: fix memory leak when using compressed server links with ssl commit 6bc2d3d06e9cb4da68ea4b63d9b6b219d88ab927 (New connection option CONN_RFC1459) forgot to adjust the ssl bitmasks. The result is that when a compressed AND encrypted server link goes down the memory allocated by zlib and the r/w buffers are no longer free'd as the previous ConnSSL_Free() would then also remove the CONN_ZIP flag from the flag mask.

Fix spelling of log message: "channek" vs. "channel" ...

Channel key file: store file name and open on each access. Store the file name of channel key files and reopen them on each access (on each JOIN command) insted of just storing the file handles. This eliminates the special requirements (no delete) and makes sure that always the actual file contents are used in all circumstances.

Support individual channel keys for pre-defined channels. This patch introduces the new configuration variable "KeyFile" for [Channel] sections in ngircd.conf. Here a file can be configured for each pre-defined channel which contains individual channel keys for different users. This file is line-based and must have the following syntax: <user>:<nick>:<key> <user> and <nick> can contain the wildcard character "*". Please not that these channel keys are only in effect, when the channel has a regular key set using channel mode "k"!

RFC 2812, sec. 3.3.1: really check for the last dot This fixes commit 5a3128243f4b60 and makes the test suite ("make check") run again without errors.

irc.c: reject masks with wildcard after last dot RFC 2812 says in section 3.3.1 ("Private Messages"): The mask MUST have at least 1 (one) "." in it and no wildcards following the last ".".

irc.c: Fix handling of channels containing dots commit 2546a13ad2949192eb70bf21e114ec60af287ee4 ('Cumulative Message Patch') broke PRIVMSG to channels containing dots. Fix this by switching evaluation order: Check first if the target matches a existing channel and only do a check for target masks if that failed. PRIVMSG with host/server masks is described in RFC 2812, section 3.3.1. Makes one wonder how a server is _really_ supposed to tell the difference between hostmasks and channel names. Sigh.

Update ngircd.spec file - Change Copyright to License - Update URL - Make BuildRoot use %{_tmppath} macro - Add basic BuildRequires - Compile with zlib and openssl - Install all docs in standard document location Signed-off-by: Ask Bjørn Hansen <ask@develooper.com>

remove unneeded LOG_DEBUG when not compiling with DEBUG support when ngircd is build without DEBUG enabled, LOG_DEBUG messages are always discarded. To avoid the extra code, ngircd has a LogDebug() wrapper which gets removed by the compiler when compiling without DEBUG defined.

documentation: gnutls does not support password-protected privkeys already mentioned in man page and sample config file, but for completeness also document it in doc/SSL.txt.

Mac OS X: update texts for Mac OS X Installer.app

Xcode: build ngIRCd with IPv6 support on Mac OS X

Xcode: get release number dynamically; new make target "xcode-clean". - make target "xcode" now detects the release number stored in the configure.in file and passes it to Xcode. - new make target "xcode-clean" which removes all files generated by "make xcode" and removes the Xcode build directory.

Xcode: define TARGET_VENDOR and TARGET_OS

Add new and missing files to Mac OS X Xcode project

Rename Channel_Free() to Free_Channel(), it is a local function

Clean up channel allocation table on shutdown/restart. Silly bug: the condition of a while() loop in the Channel_Exit() function used the wrong variable and therefore got never executed ... This bug is in the code since the beginning (see commit bb19cfda in 2002); shame on me!

Add Channel_Free(). Central function to free a channel structure and all its resources (invite/ban lists, topic, ...).

Clean up (reformat and comment) Delete_Channel() function.

Free topic array on channel deletion. The topic array in the CHANNEL structure must be free()'d before the channel itself becomes deleted.

Fix spelling in some documents.

Allow pre-defined server local channels ("&").

Spell check and enhance ngIRCd manual pages.

man ngircd.conf: line break missing before the SSLConnect description reported by Christoph Biedl.

defines.h: remove MAX_LISTEN_PORTS, MAX_SERVICES _SERVICES was never used; _LISTEN_PORTS is a leftover from commit 51ccb5928ad1453b0593fedd934298384d09e619 ('internal changes needed for future ssl support').

Remove limit on max number of predefined channels. This resolves Bugzilla Bug 68 ('Too many pre-defined channels configured.')

channel.c: constify a few function arguments.

use %ld as format specifier for posix data types in the same vein as the earlier commit: cast posix data types (pid_t, ...) to long and use %ld as format specifier. This will avoid problems when sizeof(int) != sizeof(type). We could also cast to int, but this might truncate the value.

ngIRCd release 13

don't print pid_t type with %ld format specifier Reported by Christoph Biedl: ngircd[21581]: Running as user irc(39), group irc(39), with PID 140733193409613. cast pid_t to long to avoid this. While we are there, cast uid_t and gid_t, too.

Update the date ("Dec 2008") of the manual pages.

doc/Platforms.txt: added x86_64/unknown/linux-gnu

doc/Platforms.txt: update list of tested platforms.

doc/SSL.txt: enhance documentation.

doc/Services.txt: explain which IRC Services versions are compatible

Testsuite start-server.sh: return correct exit code. src/testsuite/start-server.sh returns 0 when no errors occurred and the daemon has been startet and 1 on errors. Always returning 0 is wrong ...

Make testsuite (getpid.sh) work on OpenSolaris (i386/pc/solaris2.11).

doc/Services.txt: document using ngIRCd with IRC Services.

sample-ngircd.conf: remove now unused CVS "$Id$"

ngIRCd release 13~rc1

Fix double minus signs in manual pages This patch fixes the following lintian(1) warning: "Manual page seems to contain a hyphen where a minus sign was intended. '-' chars are interpreted as hyphens (U+2010) by groff, not as minus signs (U+002D). Since options to programs use minus signs (U+002D), this means for example in UTF-8 locales that you cannot cut&paste options, nor search for them easily. '-' must be escaped ('\-') to be interpreted as minus."

Debian package ("make deb"): fix some lintian(1) warnings

Change formatting of some log messages - Fix formatting of some log messages, mostly punctuation. - cb_Connect_to_Server(): don't use string concatenation, because it is not supported by pre-ANSI C compilers ...

Fix pem_passwd_cb(): unused variable "rwflag" (OpenSSL) This patch fixes the following warning of GCC (version 4.3.2) in function pem_passwd_cb() when compiling with OpenSSL support and without debug code: conn-ssl.c: In function 'pem_passwd_cb': conn-ssl.c:122: warning: unused parameter 'rwflag'

New configuration option "NoIdent" to disable IDENT lookups The new configuration option "NoIdent" in ngircd.conf can be used to disable IDENT lookups even when the ngIRCd daemon is compiled with IDENT lookups enabled.

Implement the IRC command "SERVLIST" The IRC command "SERVLIST" lists all the registered services, see RFC 2811, section 3.5.1. The syntax is "SERVLIST [<mask> [<type>]]". The parameter <type> is not used by ngIRCd at the moment, all registered services are of type 0 (which is the default when omitted).

Updated NEWS and ChangeLog, using NEWS for news only :-)

Create local &SERVER channel and log server messages to it ngIRCd now creates a server-local channel &SERVER with channel modes +mnPt (moderated, no messages from outside the channel, persistent and with the topic locked) and logs all the messages to it that a user with mode +s ("server messages") receives. If an IRC operator withdraws the +P ("persistent") mode and the &SERVER channel is freed because of no members, nothing special happens. The channel can be recerated any time later and ngIRCd would begin logging to it again.

Implement local channels (prefix "&") This patch implements server-local channels, prefix "&", that are only visible to users of the same local server and not in the network. Patch written by Scott Perry (2008-06-04), see: - http://arthur.barton.de/cgi-bin/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=87 - http://arthur.barton.de/cgi-bin/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=24&action=view

Added some missing files of GIT tree to distribution archives The following bits and bytes were not included in distribution archives: - contrib: ngindent, ngircd.sh - contrib/Debian: ngircd.postinst - contrib/MacOSX: preinstall.sh, postinstall.sh - doc/src: Doxyfile, header.inc.html, footer.inc.html, ngircd-doc.css - src/portab: splint.h

Test suite: start two servers and test server-server links I changed the test suite to start two test servers (on port 6789 and 6790), so server-server links can be tested as well for which I included the new test script "server-link-test.e". In addition the documentation of the test suite (src/testsuite/README) has been updated and is more complete now.

Add conf-ssl.h to "noinst_HEADERS" conf-ssl.h must be listed in "noinst_HEADERS" so that it becomes included in distribution archives generated by "make dist" and "make distcheck".

Re-add CVE identifiers to ChangeLog. I'm lame. My last commit removed all the CVE numbers recently added in commit 598df0758 to the ChangeLog ... shame on me! See all the CVE entries of ngIRCd at: <http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvekey.cgi?keyword=ngircd>

Updated NEWS and ChangeLog to include 0.12.1 and the development version

Connection counter: count outgoing connections as well. This patch lets ngIRCd count outgoing connections as well as incoming connections (up to now only outgoing connections have been counted). This change is required because the Conn_Close() function doesn't know whether it closes an outgoing connection or not and therefore would decrement the counter below zero when an outgoing connection existed -- which would trigger an assert() call ... Please note that this patch changes the (so far undocumented but now fixed) behaviour of the "MaxConnections" configuration option to account the sum of the in- and outbound connections!

Ignore numeric 020 ("please wait while we process your coinnection") Some servers send the numeric 020 ("please wait while we process your connection") when a client connects. This is no useful information for this server, so we simply ignore it :-)

GNUTLS: define new API types when installed library is too old This patch enables ngIRCd to use GNUTLS in really old versions, tested with version 1.0.16, that don't define the "new" data types ending in xxx_t. LIBGNUTLS_VERSION_MAJOR isn't defined there as well, so we use it to test if we must define the new types on our own.

Console log: output timestamp (seconds since start) for resolver, too

Console log: output timestamp (seconds since start of daemon)

conn-ssl.c: work around gnutls API problems on 64 bit platforms Alexander Barton reported a compiler warning on 64-bit platforms: cc1: warnings being treated as errors conn-ssl.c: In function 'ConnSSL_Init_SSL': conn-ssl.c:403: error: cast to pointer from integer of different size Unfortunately, I couldn't find a real solution; the GNUTLS API expects 'gnutls_transport_ptr_t' (which is void*), but the default push/pull functions (send/recv) expect an int. The only alternative solution is to pass in an address to the file descriptor, then add send/recv wrappers that expect a pointer. What a mess[tm].

GIT: don't ignore cvs-version.{h|new}, because it isn't used any more.

Fix ForwardLookup(): "ISO C90 forbids specifying subobject to initialize" This patch fixes the following warning of GCC (version 4.3.2) in function ForwardLookup(): resolve.c: In function 'ForwardLookup': resolve.c:282: warning: ISO C90 forbids specifying subobject to initialize resolve.c:284: warning: ISO C90 forbids specifying subobject to initialize resolve.c:285: warning: ISO C90 forbids specifying subobject to initialize

Fix ConnSSL_LogCertInfo(): unused variable "cred" (GNUTLS) This patch fixes the following warning of GCC (version 4.3.2) in function ConnSSL_LogCertInfo() when compiling with GNUTLS support: conn-ssl.c: In function 'ConnSSL_LogCertInfo': conn-ssl.c:542: warning: unused variable 'cred'

Debian: build ngircd-full with support for GNU TLS and IPv6.

Debian: make sure that /var/run/ircd is owned by user "irc".

GIT: Ignore Debian-related generated files. Added files that become generated while building Debian GNU/Linux packages of ngIRCd to the .gitignore lists.

Updated config.{guess|sub} to version 2008-01-16.

Enable KICK to be handled from remote servers and from services.

Respect RFC 1459 compatibility mode when announcing channels (no NJOIN).

Document the server flag "S": SERVICE command is supported.

Announce IRC services in the network. This patch - introduces a new server flag "S" to indicate that the server can handle the SERVICE command (on server links), - implements the IRC command "SERVICE" for server-server links, - uses the "SERVICE" command to announce IRC services when a new server connects to it, - and fixes the Send_Message() function to let it send messages to services using a "target mask". If the remote server doesn't indicate that it can handle the "SERVICE" command (it has not set the "S" flag), services are announced as regular users as before.

Change Introduce_Client() to set the correct client type (user/service).

Convert SQUERY to PRIVMSG on RFC 1459 compliant links.

Don't allow SQUERY to send to "target masks" and channels; only services!

Fix PRIVMSG/NOTICE handler (II): keep command when forwarding to channels. - new function ngt_UpperStr(). - change Channel_Write() to take command name and error flag. - remove now unneeded function Channel_Notice().

New function ngt_UpperStr()

Fix PRIVMSG/NOTICE handler Send_Message(): don't forward NOTICE as PRIVMSG.

Make real use of the CLIENT_SERVICE client type. This patch enables ngIRCd to handle IRC services as real services, and not as "fake users": - Set correct client type CLIENT_SERVICE for services, - Change log messages to include correct client type, - PRIVMSG: allow users to send messages to services, - Send services nick names to other servers (as users). Please note that this patch doesn't announce services as services in the network, but as regular users (as before). Only the local server knows of services as services (see LUSERS command, for example). It is up to one of the next patches to fix this and to introduce the SERVICE command in server to server communication. The propagation of services as regular users between servers doesn't limit the functionality of the IRC services and will be the fallback for servers that don't support "real" services propagation in the future.

Allow IRC services to change their nick names.

New function Client_TypeText() and Destroy_UserOrService(). Client_TypeText() is used to get correct naming ("Client", "Service", ...) for log messages, and Destroy_UserOrService() is used to correctly destroy user and services clients.

Send_Message(): really enforce target client type.

sample-ngircd.conf & ngircd.conf(5): document "ServiceMask" option.

Allow ngIRCd to detect services connected to an "virtual services server". Introduce a new configuration variable "ServiceMask" in SERVER blocks to define a mask matching nick names that should be treated as services. Regular servers don't need this parameter (leave it empty, the default), but you should set it to "*Serv" when connection ircservices, for example. This patch allows ngIRCd to detect services, it doesn't change the functionality: you only get different log messages ;-)

Centralize logging functions in Introduce_Client().

Get rid of INTRO_INFO structure again: we don't need it at all! All the required information is already stored in the CLIENT structure of new new connection, so pass this to Introduce_Client() and don't invent an unneeded new structure ...

Announce_User(): support RFC 1459 compatibility mode.

Introduce_Client(): send MODES in RFC 1459 mode, too.

numeric.c: whitespace fixes ...

Server links: detect RFC 1459 mode direct after SERVER command This patch allows ngIRCd to detect right after receiving the SERVER command from the peer whether the RFC 1459 compatibility mode must be used or not. And it fixes the announcement of users during establishing new server links with such peers.

Send and handle NICK+USER commands for user registration (RFC 1459). This patch enables ngIRCd to deal with NICK and USER commands following RFC 1459 to register new clients, and to send these commands instead of one full NICK command as specified in RFC 2813 on connections that are in RFC 1459 compatibility mode. Can be useful for e. g. IRC services that simulate a RFC 1459 server.

New function IRC_WriteStrServersPrefixFlag_CB() using a callback function.

New function Introduce_Client() to announce new local and remote users.

New connection option CONN_RFC1459. This new connection option CONN_RFC1459 indicates that the peer on this link only supports the IRC protocol as defined in RFC 1459 and that the compatibility mode (e. g. for outgoing commands like NICK) should be used.

New global function Conn_SetOption().

USER: servers and services can alter user information after registration. This is required to do RFC 1459 style user registration on server links, and is used by some services packages, too. See RFC 1459 section 4.1.3.

NICK: allow servers and services to use RFC 1459 syntax (2 parameters). This patch allows servers and services to call the NICK command using the syntax defined in RFC 1459 to register new users, with only two parameters. See section 4.1.2. Useful for some services packages, which emulate this protocol.

Whitespace fixes: remove trailing tabulator characters.

conn-ssl.c: don't append a newline to ConnSSL_GetCipherInfo

TLS/SSL support: code changes. This adds the required code to enable ssl/tls support during compile and run time, respectively.

TLS/SSL support: documentation.

TLS/SSL support: core files. Contains support for both OpenSSL and GNU TLS. Certificate Authentification is not yet supported.

Fix handling of MaxConnections option Config option claimed to be 'number of connections' but in reality this was treated as 'largest file descriptor allowed'. This also fixes another bug in New_connection, where the ng_ipaddr_tostr_r error path was missing a return statement.

Include "mcheck.h" when using mtrace().

SECURITY: Fixed a message handling bug which could crash the daemon. Some message targets could lead to a NULL pointer dereference and therefore could crash the daemon (denial of service). (cherry picked from commit e493ad2d30ff80bca2556cde2212e367cb006517)

Enable GNU libc "memory tracing" when compiled with debug code. This patch lets ngIRCd activate "memory tracing" of the GNU libc when compiled with debug code (configure: --enable-debug) and the functionality is available on the system. (http://www.gnu.org/software/libc/manual/html_node/Allocation-Debugging.html)

New make target: "osxpkg" to create an Mac OS X installer package. This patch adds a new make target, "osxpkg", to the main Makefile which gereates a Apple Mac OS X installer package of ngIRCd. The packagemaker(1) project bundle is stored in contrib/MacOSX/ngIRCd.pmdoc.

Clean up Mac OS X Xcode environment. - Remove obsolete contrib/MacOSX/cvs-version.h - Change SDK to 10.4

doc/Platforms.txt: added Debian GNU/Hurd, "i686/unknown/gnu0.3"

Added CVE identifiers to ChangeLog. see http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvekey.cgi?keyword=ngircd

Remove de.barton.ngircd.plist on "make clean", its a generated file.

Make ngIRCd compile and run on NeXTSTEP 3.3 and OPENSTEP 4.2 by Steven D. Blackford <kb7sqi@aol.com>: "I wanted to let you know that I've done a quick port of ngircd-0.12.0 for NEXTSTEP3.3/OPENSTEP4.2. There wasn't a lot of changes required to get it to compile clean, but I did make the necessary changes so that I didn't have to use -posix flag. The NeXT has a pretty buggy POSIX implementation so I always try to work around it. :-) Anway, here's the changes required to get it to compile."

Merge branch 'master' of git://ngircd.barton.de/ngircd

Install /Library/LaunchDaemons/de.barton.ngircd.plist into $(DESTDIR)

FAQ: add entry about /OPER and OperCanUseMode

GIT: added src/testsuite/message-test to ignore list.

Fix Validate_Args(): unused parameter "Idx" and "Req" This patch fixes the following error message of GCC (tested with version 4.3.0) when not compiling ngIRCd in "strict RFC" mode: parse.c: In function "Validate_Args": parse.c:341: error: unused parameter "Idx" parse.c:341: error: unused parameter "Req"

message-test: Disable two tests using "localhost" as host name Some operating systems, for example OpenBSD and OpenSolaris, use "localhost.<domain>" instead of just "localhost" for 127.0.0.1, so the "message-test" using "localhost" failed on such systems. Don't have an idee how to make this work on all platforms ... :-/ So I simply disabled the two affected tests to make the testsuite run on OpenBSD and OpenSolaris again.

Fix Send_Message(): "lastCurrentTarget" may be used uninitialized This patch fixes the following warning of GCC 4.3.1: irc.c: In function "Send_Message": irc.c:315: error: "lastCurrentTarget" may be used uninitialized in this function

Fix t_diff(): declaration of 'div' shadows a global declaration This patch fixes the following GCC warning message: irc-info.c:422: warning: declaration of 'div' shadows a global declaration

Cosmetic whitespace and line length fixes, mostly in Send_Message().

Added "message-test" to Makefile, so it is distrubuted and run.

Cleaned up PRIVMSG and NOTICE patches.

Cumulative Message Patch

Don't allow empty channel names ("#") in strict RFC mode. This closes Bug #88. Patch proposed by Eric <egrunow@ucsd.edu>, but with wrong length comparision: please note that Channel_IsValidName() checks the name INCLUDING the prefix, so the test must be length<=1!

Return 461 (syntax error) on "JOIN :" and "PART :" Up to this patch ngIRCd did not return any result (GIT master) or a badly formated 403 (":irc.server 403 test :No such channel" [note the two spaces!], branch-0-12-x) on the above commands, this patch changes the behaviour to reflect ircd 2.11 which returns 461 in both cases.

Channel_Join(): Code cleanup.

Added more supported and tested platforms to doc/Platforms.txt.

Fixes to misc-test: accept "localhost.<domain>" as well as "localhost" Some operating systems, for example OpenBSD, use "localhost.<domain>" instead of "localhost", so the "who-test" expecting "localhost" failed on such systems. (Please see 149859c5fecc..., which fixes this for the who-test already)

Revert "dpkg-shlibdeps: warning: dependency on libnsl.so.1 [..]" - Solaris needs both -lsocket _and_ -lnsl - A/UX needs -lUTIL "... which totally sucks because we'd link libnsl on Linux, too (where its not needed at all). So, we have to figure out how to tell autocrap to NOT put -lnsl there unless it exports a symbol we need. This also means that [...] has to be reverted (or done properly)." -- Florian Westphal @ #ngircd This reverts commit 2b14234abc252383679bae2d23861b773dc9713e.

dpkg-shlibdeps: warning: dependency on libnsl.so.1 [..] (they use none of its symbols). So, rip out that AC_CHECK_LIB cruft, pointed out by Christoph Biedl. If there are platforms that really need that we should only link when we actually use these libraries.

Merge autogen.sh changes Merge commit 'alex/master'

autogen.sh: Don't set AUTO{CONF|MAKE}_VERSION and WANT_AUTO{CONF|MAKE} On some systems (for example Gentoo Linux, FreeBSD, and OpenBSD), these variables are used to select which version of GNU automake and autoconf to use, but we shouldn't depend on a specific version -- instead we should use the "system default". So probably it is up to the user to set these variables accordingly to set up some wrapper scripts of his operating system distribution.

Translated comments from German to English

autogen.sh: correctly test for and export ACLOCAL variable

Fix GCC warnings for possibly uninitialized variables in IRC_JOIN This patch fixes the following two warnings of GCC 4.2.4: irc-channel.c: In function "IRC_JOIN": irc-channel.c:185: warning: "lastkey" may be used uninitialized in this function irc-channel.c:185: warning: "lastchan" may be used uninitialized in this function

GIT: added src/src/config.h.in~ to ignore list.

Allow mixed line terminations (CR+LF/CR/LF) in non-RFC-compliant mode Up to now ngIRCd accepted CR+LF as well as a single CR or LF in "non RFC compliant" mode (the default). But ngIRCd became confused when it received data containing mixed line endings (e. g. "111\r222\n333\r\n"). This patch enables ngIRCd (in "non RFC compliant" mode) to detect CR+LF, CR, and LF as equally good line termination sequences and to always end the command after the first one detected. Some clients (for exmaple Trilian) are that ... broken to send such mixed line terminations ... First patch proposed by Scott Perry <scperry@ucsd.edu>, Thanks to Ali Shemiran <ashemira@ucsd.edu> for testing!

Don't allow stray \r or \n in command parameters If ngircd receives an input line like "COMMAND arg\nIRRELEVANT\r\n", "arg\nIRRELEVANT" is passed as an argument to COMMAND. This can lead to output like: :ngircd.test.server 322 nick #chan 1 : topicwithprecedingnewline :ngircd.test.server 322 nick #nxtchan 1 : [..] Worse, this allows clients to piggyback irc commands, e.g. "TOPIC #a :test\n:fake!~a@nonexistant JOIN :#a\r\n", which causes the client to receive a JOIN command during /LIST output. Bug reported by Scott Perry, first patch by Florian Westphal.

GIT: ignore de.barton.ngircd.plist, it is a generated file.

ngircd.init: use LSB logging functions, if available.

--configtest: return non-zero exit code if there are errors

Handle_Buffer(): code cleanup. Both callers ignore the return code of this function, so get rid of it, but make sure that the client is disconnected on errors.

Conn_Handler(): cleanup code, add/translate comments. In addition, the "timeout" variable has been removed because it is unnecessary today: Handle_Buffer() handles all the data it can handle, and io_dispatch() returns immediately when new data is available. So we don't have to double-check but better sleep. Pointed out by Florian.

Use strtok_r instead of strchr in IRC_JOIN. This patch does significant cleanup on the join code by using strtok_r instead of mangling strchr to parse channel names and keys in parallel when a JOIN command contains a list of channels and keys. Also adds an strtok_r implementation to libportab.

Mac OS X LaunchDaemon script: log messages to /Library/Logs/ngIRCd.log

configure.in: don't check for "obvious" standard functions. Drop checks for the following C standard functions: malloc, memmove, memset, realloc, strchr, strcspn, strerror, strstr. Rationale: These are standard K&R/C89 functions, no point in ''making sure they exist''.

Reset client idle time on NICK, JOIN, and PART

Remove ListenIPv4/ListenIPv6 options. Use "Listen = list,of,addresses" instead.

make Listen parameter a comma-seperated list of addresses. this also obsoletes ListenIPv4 and ListenIPv6 options. If Listen is unset, it is treated as Listen="::,0.0.0.0". Note: ListenIPv4 and ListenIPv6 options are still recognized, but ngircd will print a warning if they are used in the config file. Also, some plattforms require that ai_socktype is set in the getaddrinfo() hints structure.

Add option aliases -V (for --version) and -h (for --help). This patch adds -h and -V short options (to complement the usage). It is based on a patch attached to Debian bug #466063, see <http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=466063>. Idea by Jari Aalto <jari.aalto@cante.net>, patch adapted by Alexander Barton <alex@barton.de>.

Add FAQ entry for 'Where is the log file'?

Add tests for MOTD, VERSION, TIME, USERHOST The misc-test.e file is also somewhat reorganized and commented here. Patch from Brandon Beresini, Bryan Caldwell and Dana Dahlstrom.

Updated list of authors (AUTHORS file)

Update master development branch - use "dev" instead of "HEAD" as "version number", - update ChangeLog and NEWS to reflect the 0.12.0 release.

Merge commit 'aad49bd260494878aed6795c7a897ad1d28c3082'

This patch implements a (maybe) compliant WHOWAS command. It is hard to test this in the test suite because we 1) shouldn't rely on previous tests populating WHOWAS and 2) don't connect a user for more than 30 seconds. Also makes WHOWAS return ERR_NONICKNAMEGIVEN_MSG as implied by RFC.

Update ngIRCd manual pages - Update timestamp, - enhance some phrasing, - and fix "Passive" ([Server]) formatting.

If bind() fails, also print ip address and not just the port number.

GIT: ignore symbolic links to tests in testsuite directory Added symbolic links to new tests (invite-test, join-test, and kick-test) to .gitignore file.

Fixes to who-test: accept "localhost.<domain>" as well as "localhost" Some operating systems, for example OpenBSD, use "localhost.<domain>" instead of "localhost", so the "who-test" expecting "localhost" failed on such systems.

ng_ipaddr.h must include netinet/in.h. compile on FreeBSD 5.4 failed with: ./../ipaddr/ng_ipaddr.h:34: error: field `sin4' has incomplete type Reported and tested by Jefferson S Almeida.

Removed space after # so that Cygwin's version of expect recognizes comments.

Fix secret channel information leak /who on a secret channel that the user is not a member of now returns proper RPL_ENDOFWHO_MSG instead of nothing.

Added Cygwin uid kludge. (verified working)

Anglified and improved comments in channel.c and channel.h [Dana Dahlstrom: repair tab/space conversion in patch]

Implement IRC commands SERVICE, SERVLIST, and SQUERY as dummy functions SERVICE, SERVLIST, and SQUERY are required by RFC 2812 (it states in section 3 that "all commands described in this section MUST be implemented by any server for this protocol." -- So we implement them without (much) actual functionality ...

Add invite-test.e to test suite.

Tests for the INVITE command.

Invite: prefix last argument with colon when necessary.

tests for JOIN and various replies Brandon Beresini sent me a patch yesterday adding tests for JOIN under various circumstances, which I believe he worked on with Bryan Caldwell and Ali Shemiran. I made a few modifications; the result is below.

Allow KICK to handle comma-delimited lists (of channels, nicks). includes test cases. [fw@strlen.de: - move code around to avoid duplication - use const where possible - integrate test case]

Invite: Send RPL_AWAY to client sending the invite if target is away.

Fixes to who-test: accept any ident, escape some '*' flags. This prevents who-test.e from failing when ngircd is performing ident lookups and an ident server is running.

IRC_INVITE: coding style cleanup.

Constify some of Channel_Kick()s arguments.

constify Client_Search() argument.

Allow IRC ops to ignore channel limits when joining Allow IRC ops to ignore any channel limit (bans, invite only etc.) when they want to join a channel.

Handle 1-character messages terminated with CR or LF correctly Code cleanup and fix for Bug #83, "ngIRCd chokes on 1-character messages" in function Handle_Buffer(): the buffer is now correctly cleared when ngIRCd receives 1-character messages terminated with either CR or LF (in violation to RFC 2812, section 2.3 "Messages", 5th paragraph).

On AIX (for example) socklen_t is defined in sys/socket.h On AIX and probably other systems socklen_t is defined in sys/socket.h, so we have to include it here explicitly (tested by Florian).

Always enable modeless channels. Modeless channels (+channels) are described in RFC 2811; so my modifications to 530112b114ffa7d5352c0733790ddf90253f41f9 ('Add support for modeless channels') to disable +channels for --strict-rfc configurations were wrong. This reverts those changes.

Prevent GIT to complain about opless-channel-test link

Add support for modeless channels Add support for modeless channels (+channels). [fw@strlen.de: - integrate test cases - don't support +channels when compiled with --strict-rfc - do not set +o mode for channel creator - force +nt mode when channel is created ]

Updated NEWS and ChangeLog for ngIRCd 0.12.0-pre2.

--configtest: fix missing whitespace at "ConnectIPv4" option.

--enable-ipv6: fix indentation in ./configure --help output.

Merge branch 'master' of git://git.breakpoint.cc/fw/ngircd-fw

Testsuite: remove erroneous ConfUID setting in config file. The config file for ngircds test suite contained obsolete ConfUID/ConfGID settings, causing ngircd to needlesly complain when started as non-root (which is hopefully the _normal_ case...)

IPv6: Add config options to disabe ipv4/ipv6 support. This also enables ipv6-only setups.

Get rid of cvs-version.* and CVSDATE definition. (cherry picked from commit b187fac244f4e14705f882ba7c43eef0238e2830)

Don't include doc/CVS.txt in distribution archive, use doc/GIT.txt now! (cherry picked from commit a8e0eb62e9dce81ca4a5c5911428561b90bf2c6e)

Documentation: get rid of some more references to CVS, switch to GIT. (cherry picked from commit 6e9389b86c906c53a7797b8ced87a19195e16333)

Synchronized branch-0-12-x (ngIRCd 0.12.0-pre1) with master. (cherry picked from commit 4ea29329674ff8ec6d772991a57c146b5d78d2ad)

Report ERR_NOTONCHANNEL when trying to part a channel one is not member of. When trying to part a channel ("PART #channel") the client is not member of the daemon now correctly reports the numeric ERR_NOTONCHANNEL (442) insted of ERR_NOSUCHCHANNEL (403).

Updated NEWS and ChangeLog for upcoming 0.12.0-pre1 release.

Channel_Part(): Code and comment cleanup.

Updated copyright notice to read "2001-2008".

IRC_PART(): code and comment cleanup.

Added make target "testsuite" This make target runs the testsuite located in src/testsuite without running alle the other tests that "make check" would run.

Fixed "xcode" make target (used to build ngIRCd with Mac OS X Xcode)

Channel_Mode: Remove duplicate code. Incidentially, this doesn't even change the generated code...

Channel_Mode: change order of if (set) and if (client) check.

Channel_Mode: Re-indent switch. No functional changes were made.

Channel_Mode: check return type of Invite/Ban Add/Del function

Channel_Mode: unify 'b' and 'I' switch/case handling.

Channel_Mode: Unify Del_Invite and Del_Ban handler

Constify Lists_MakeMask argument and return type.

Channel_Mode: Unify Add_Invite and Add_Ban handler

Enable more compiler warnings when using Xcode.

GIT should ignore user preferences files inside Xcode projects. Added filter for GIT to ignore Xcode user preferences files (*.mode1v3 and *.pbxuser) which are automatically generated inside the project bundle when opened in Xcode.

Updated Xcode project file.

Convert CVS commands to their git equivalents. Also mention that patches should be sent to the mailing list.

Added "portabtest" binary to .gitignore file in src/portabtest/.

Include Mac OS X Xcode project in distribution archives. (Part 2) I forgot to include the new Makefile.am in contrib/MacOSX/ngIRCd.xcodeproj/ ...

Include Mac OS X Xcode project in distribution archives. Oops, it has not been included since ... ages??

Moved .cvsignore files to .gitignore Since we are using GIT starting from now, I converted all the .cvsignore files to .gitignore files.

Fix client.c sparse warnings. client.c:72:6: warning: symbol 'Max_Users' was not declared. Should it be static? client.c:72:21: warning: symbol 'My_Max_Users' was not declared. Should it be static?

io.c: kill select FD_SETSIZE sanity check in io_library_init. We already have way too many.

io.c: fix select FD_SETSIZE check when using epoll as io backend

io.c: try to cut down the number of ifdefs. consolidate backend-specific helpers and add empty statinc inle stubs in the ifndef case to let the compiler remove the functions at compile time.

Do not exit unconditionally if config file cannot be opened ngircd will exit if the config file cannot be opened. While thats okay if ngircd starts up for the first time, it isn't when we are re-reading the config file after a /REHASH or SIGHUP.

Fix #include's: search log.h locally, include string.h. The latter is required because we include conn.h, which includes resolve.h, which includes ng_ipaddr.h, which contains a macro using strlcpy() ...

IPv6 support. all references to struct sockaddr/in_addr have been removed from src/ngircd. libngipaddr (in src/ipaddr/) hides all the gory details. See src/ipaddr/ng_ipaddr.h for API description.

Updated ChangeLog to include 0.11.1.

Fix sending of JOINs between servers. This does hit only operators that join a channel with at least 2 servers active in the net the server the oper connects to sends "channel^Go" to the other servers the other server first searches for the channel and then strips the modes from the channel name he has to do the other way round: first strip and then check the channel name.

Channel_Mode cleanups - better indentation - move answering request into seperate function.

LaunchDaemon plist for Mac OS X/Darwin launchd.

Install a LaunchDaemon script to start/stop ngIRCd on Mac OS X.

Added new test files to Xcode project.

Removed the SQUIT test for now, actually we don't support it yet.

Implemented IRC commands INFO, USERS (dummy), and SUMMON (dummy).

Include flags in RPL_WHOREPLY messages. RPL_WHOREPLY messages generated by IRC_WHO don't include flags (*,@,+) that should appear according to this description: http://www.mishscript.de/reference/rawhelp3.htm#raw352 Other IRC servers do include the flags. Modify who-test.e to expose missing flags, modify ngircd-test.conf to accommodate who-test.e, and fix irc-info.c to correct these problems.

Don't send trailing space in MODE messages Under some circumstances ngIRCd currently issues a channel MODE message with a trailing space after the last parameter, which isn't permitted by the grammar in RFC 2812 section 2.3.1: http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2812#section-2.3.1 The following patch modifies mode-test.e to expose this, and modifies irc-mode.c to correct it.

IRC_JOIN cleanups. - put sending of mode and forwarding of JOIN to other clients into seperate function. - put sending of topic/channel names into seperate function. - put access check into seperate function. - translate/remove remaining german comments. - stop if JOIN to a channel in a list (JOIN #a,#,b,#c...) fails (This doesn't change the behaviour: skip-to-next-channel-on-error did never work as intended)

Make IRC_WHO also search username/servername/hostname. Dana Dahlstrom reported that IRC_WHO did not follow RFC 2812, Section 3.6.1. Specifically: - IRC_WHO did not send "G" flag instead if "H" if client was away - did not search username/servername/hostname etc. if argument was not a channel. Fix all of the above and tidy things up a bit. Also add IRC_WHO test script contributed by Dana.

Remove duplicate Channel_FirstChannelOf(). noticed there's a way to make the loop slightly more elegant. [fw@strlen.de: Extra () to silence gcc.]

Make Channel_Part name and reason parameters 'const'.

Updated NEWS to reflect ChangeLog.

Implement RFC 2812 handling of "0" argument to JOIN The students in my software-engineering class are writing IRC clients in Java, and I'm running ngIRCd as a sandbox for them to play in. We noticed ngIRCd doesn't obey the "JOIN 0" command specified in RFC 2812: JOIN 0 ; Leave all currently joined channels. http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2812#section-3.2.1 I believe the following patch addresses this. Cheers! [fw@strlen.de: put it into a seperate function]

Don't use Client_Type after command has been processed. This caused a read from already free'd memory, if the processed command (IRC_QUIT) calls Client_Destroy.

Updated NEWS to reflect ChangeLog.

Fix wrong strncpy usage if CVSDATE defined Hello_User() used strncpy with overlapping src/dest. Use memmove instead.

This adds support for sending NOTICEs to a channel. [also see Bug #70 in ngircd bugzilla]. Based on a patch by Fabian Schlager <fabian.schlager@gmail.com>.

[Parser]: Fix minor sparse warnings parse.c:56:9: warning: symbol 'My_Commands' was not declared. Should it be static? parse.c:107:9: warning: symbol 'My_Numerics' was not declared. Should it be static? Also move handling of numerics into a seperate helper function.

Updated ChangeLog to reflect changes in 0.10.x and 0.11.x branches.

Updated Debian changelog [from 0.10.x; 0.11.x]

Document NoDNS configuration option.

IRC_PART could reference invalid memory.

Fix format arg: ListenAddress was printed instead of Bind address.

Fix format string in error path: didn't print strerror(errno)

implement '/STAT u' (uptime)

Fix fmt string: int, not long

include <arpa/inet.h> inside tool.h In file included from hash.c:24: ../tool/tool.h:27: warning: `struct in_addr' declared inside parameter list

remove ip-string from Conf_Server struct struct Conf_Server stored the ip address to connect to in dotted-decimal notation; but we only need this for connect() so long-time storage isn't necessary.

document new "Bind" server config option in changelog.

bind ListenAddress for outgoing connections ngircd would always use INADDR_ANY for outgoing connections; which might not be desirable. Added new [Server] option "Bind" to set source ip.

Funktions to handle numerics sent to the server.

Introduce option to configure the maximum nick name lenth in ngircd.conf - 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.

Remove some bogus files from project ...

Update Mac OS X Xcode project file for Xcode 3. Allow building of ngIRCd using Xcode 3 without running ./configure.

Adjust test suite to be usable on HP/UX 11.11 :-)

Fix code to compile using K&R C compiler and ansi2kr again.

add tiny note about ngircd using syslog(3) by default.

if ngircd doesn't run chrooted, it tries to chdir to the users working directory (as returned by getpwuid()). Failing to chdir to that directory isn't an error; so log with LOG_INFO and prefix the message with "Notice".

Document NoDNS Option in changelog

New config option NoDNS: disables all DNS queries.

configtest would still print "-1" for MaxConnections, MaxConnectionsIP and MaxJoins if any of those values was set to 0.

Updates NEWS to reflect changes in CVS HEAD

Fixed propagation of channel mode 'P' on server links.

Xcode project: include manual page template files, not generated pages.

Updated Mac OS X project file for Xcode.

fix doc and manpage wrt. MaxConnections, MaxConnectionsIP and MaxJoins values

accoring to comments in the code, MaxConnections, MaxConnectionsIP and MaxJoins options allow setting values < 0 -- this isn't the case. Comments adjusted.

Updated preferred automake version to 1.9. Only set preferences if not already defined by some environment variables.

Made pointer to the mailing list more prominent.

Numeric 317: implemented "signon time" (displayed in WHOIS result).

Updated documentation ("Passive" option, for example).

we now support /WALLOPS

implement /WALLOPS as described in RFC 2812, section 4.7.

SECURITY: Fixed a severe bug in handling JOIN commands, which could cause the server to crash. Thanks to Sebastian Vesper, <net@veoson.net>.

last fix accidentially broke reconnect timer.

Don't connect to a server if a connection to another server within the same group is in progress.

Add new server config option to disable automatic connect. (Tassilo Schweyer)

Updated documentation to include changes of ngIRCd 0.10.2.

fix compile /w gcc 2.95 (reported by Tassilo Schweyer)

Updated config.guess and config.sub.

Updated ChangeLog.

Reworked read and write buffer handling, introduced WRITEBUFFER_SLINK_LEN.

Zip_Flush(): close the connection in all error cases.

array_start() cannot legally return NULL if array_length() > 0 --> use assert().

Make Zip_Flush() more graceful.

there is no need to treat servers differently than clients on the read side.

make needlesly global function Conn_Write static.

remove ZBUFFER constants and increase max buffer size of server links

fix compressed server links

2007 :-)

add PredefChannelsOnly option to man page

minor cleanup

remove unused function Channel_PCount

moved invite/ban lists to channel structure

fix RPL_LOCALUSERS_MSG (%ld -> %lu)

Log(LOG_DEBUG, .. -> LogDebug()

predefined channels MUST start with '#', but this is not very intuitive, since # is also used as a comment character in ngircd.conf. Thus we prefix the name with '#' if it is missing.

Fixed validation of server names containing digits.

New configuration option "PredefChannelsOnly": if set, make all JOINs to-non existants channel return ERR_BANNEDFROMCHAN_MSG, restricting users to those channels defined in the config file.

Added OpenBSD/ppc to list of tested platforms.

-Whitespace Damage; Client_OperCount(), Client_UnknownCount(), Client_MyServerCount() return unsigned long

channel maxusers now unsigned long

add const qualifier to Hash() and Matche() Arguments

Client_IsValidNick: no need to strcpy.

Channel_Join was severely broken.

Update info text of local server after re-reading configuration.

Removed an unused variable -- but where did it come from!? Strange ...
