+ngIRCd Release 19
+
+ - New configuration option "PAMIsOptional": when set, clients not
+ sending a password are still allowed to connect: they won't become
+ "identified" and keep the "~" character prepended to their supplied
+ user name. See "man 5 ngircd.conf" for details.
+ - Fixed handling of WHO commands. This fixes two bugs: "WHO <nick>"
+ returned nothing at all if the user was "+i" (reported by Cahata,
+ thanks) and "WHO <nick|nickmask>" returned channel names instead
+ of "*" when the user was member of a (visible) channel.
+ - Fixed some spelling errors in documentation and code comments
+ (Thanks to Christoph Biedl).
+ - contrib/Debian/control: Update and complete "Build-Depends" and
+ update our Debian package descriptions with "official" ones.
+ - Fixed typo in two error messages.
+ - LUSERS reply: only count channels that are visible to the requesting
+ client, so the existence of secret channels is no longer revealed by
+ using LUSERS. Reported by Cahata, thanks!
+ - Unknown user and channel modes no longer stop the mode parser, but
+ are simply ignored. Therefore modes after the unknown one are now
+ handled. This is how ircd2.10/ircd2.11/ircd-seven behave, at least.
+ Reported by Cahata, thanks!
+ - README: Update list of implemented commands.
+ - Log better error messages when rejecting clients.
+ - Implement IRC commands "GLINE" and "KLINE" to ban users. G-Lines are
+ synchronized between server on peering, K-Lines are local only.
+ - Xcode: update project file for Xcode 4.2 and define HAVE_GAI_STRERROR
+ for Mac OS X Xcode builds.
+ - ./configure: Fix logic and quoting of poll() detection code: only use
+ poll() when poll.h exists as well.
+ - Suppress 'Can't create pre-defined channel: invalid name: ""' message.
+ - whois-test: handle local hostname = "localhost.localdomain" using the
+ pattern "localhost*" for valid local hostnames.
+ - sample-ngircd.conf: show correct default for "PAM" variable: The
+ default of "PAM" is "yes" when ngIRCd has been configured to use it,
+ so show the correct default value in the sample configuration file.
+ (Closes #119)
+ - Update GPL 2 license text to current version.
+ - Only close "unrelated" sockets in forked child processes: This fixes
+ the problem that ngIRCd can't do any IDENT lookups because of the
+ socket has already been closed in the child process.
+ The bug has been introduced starting with ngIRCd 17 ... :-(
+ (commit ID 6ebb31ab35e)
+ - Added doc/Modes.txt: document modes supported by ngIRCd.
+ - Implement user mode "R": indicates that the nick name of this user
+ is "registered". This mode isn't handled by ngIRCd itself, but must
+ be set and unset by IRC services like Anope.
+ - Implement channel mode "R": only registered users (having the user
+ mode "R" set) are allowed to join this channel.
+ - Test suite: bind to loopback (127.0.0.1) interface only.
+ - New 2nd message "Nickname too long" for error code 432.
+ - Xcode: Mac OS X config.h: support 10.5 as well as 10.6/10.7 SDK.
+ - Xcode: exclude more Xcode 4 specific directories in ".gitignore".
+ - Disconnect directly linked servers sending QUIT. Without this,
+ the server becomes removed from the network and the client list,
+ but the connection isn't shut down at all ...
+ - contrib/ngindent: detect "gindent" as GNU indent.
+ - Handle unknown user and channel modes: these modes are saved and
+ forwarded to other servers, but ignored otherwise.
+ - Handle channel user modes 'a', 'h', and 'q' from remote servers.
+ These channel user modes aren't used for anything at the moment,
+ but ngIRCd knows that these three modes are "channel user modes"
+ and not "channel modes", that is that these modes take an "nick name"
+ argument. Like unknown user and channel modes, these modes are saved
+ and forwarded to other servers, but ignored otherwise.
+ - Correctly inform clients when other servers change their user modes.
+ This is required for some services to work correctly.
+ - Test suite: make getpid.sh work even when run as root.
+ - Spoofed prefixes: close connection on non-server links only.
+ On server-links, spoofed prefixes can happen because of the
+ asynchronous nature of the IRC protocol. So don't break server-
+ links, only log a message and ignore the command. (Closes #113)
+
ngIRCd Release 18 (2011-07-10)
