Allow "DefaultUserModes" to set all possible modes

2014-03-18T15:43:21+00:00

Let IRC_MODE() detect that the "fake" MODE command originated on the local sever, which enables all modes to be settable using "DefaultUserModes" that can be set by regular MODE commands, including modes only settable by IRC Operators.

Implement new configuration option "Network"

2013-12-27T22:16:11+00:00

The new configuration variable "Network" is used to set the (completely optional) "network name", to which this instance of the daemon belongs. When set, this name is used in the ISUPPORT(005) numeric which is sent to all clients connecting to the server after logging in. Closes bug #165.

Change cipher defaults

2013-09-17T16:15:24+00:00

Switch cipher defaults to HIGH:!aNULL:@STRENGTH (OpenSSL) or SECURE128 (GnuTLS).

Cipher list selection for GnuTLS

2013-09-15T15:57:47+00:00

This patch implements the missing functionality for cipher list selection using GnuTLS (our OpenSSL code has this already).

Cipher list selection for OpenSSL

2013-09-15T13:09:36+00:00

This patch introduces the possibility to arbitrarily select ciphers which should be promoted resp. declined when establishing a SSL connection with a client by implementing the new configuration option "CipherList". By default, OpenSSL would accept low and medium strength and RC-4 ciphers, which nowadays are known to be broken. This patch only implements the feature for OpenSSL. A GnuTLS counterpart has to be implemented in another patch ... Original patch by Bastian . Closes bug #162.

Implement new configuration option "DefaultUserModes"

2013-08-26T19:17:10+00:00

The new configuration option "DefaultUserModes" lists user modes that become automatically set on new local clients right after login. Please note that only modes can be set that the client could set on itself, you can't set "a" (away) or "o" (IRC Op), for example! User modes "i" (invisible) or "x" (cloaked) etc. are "interesting", though. Default: set no modes (like without this patch). Closes bug #160.

Implement new configuration option "AllowedChannelTypes"

2013-08-04T12:10:12+00:00

The new configuration variable "AllowedChannelTypes" lists all allowed channel types (channel prefixes) for newly created channels on the local server. By default, all supported channel types are allowed. If set to the empty string, local clients can't create new channels at all, which equals the old "PredefChannelsOnly = yes" setting. This patch deprecates the "PredefChannelsOnly" variable, too, but it is still supported and translated to the apropriate "AllowedChannelTypes" setting. When "PredefChannelsOnly" is processed, a warning message is logged. Closes bug #152.

Implement new configuration option "IncludeDir"

2013-05-24T20:34:53+00:00

The option "IncludeDir" in the [Options] section can be used to specify a directory which can contain further configuration files and configuration file snippets matching the pattern "*.conf" that should be read in after the main configuration file ("ngircd.conf" by default) has been parsed. Closes bug #157.

New configuration option "IdleTimeout": exit daemon when idle

2013-02-04T22:15:53+00:00

This patch implements a new configuration option "IdleTimeout" in the [Limits] section of the configuration file which can be used to set a timeout (in seconds) after which the whole daemon will shutdown when no more connections are left active after handling at least one client. The default is 0, "never". This can be useful for testing or when ngIRCd is started using "socket activation" with systemd(8), for example.
