Fix double minus signs in manual pages

2008-11-21T20:37:03+00:00

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."

New configuration option "NoIdent" to disable IDENT lookups

2008-11-19T18:11:39+00:00

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.

Connection counter: count outgoing connections as well.

2008-11-12T00:26:04+00:00

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!

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

TLS/SSL support: documentation.

make Listen parameter a comma-seperated list of addresses.

2008-05-19T12:27:35+00:00

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).

2008-05-18T14:19:41+00:00

This patch adds -h and -V short options (to complement the usage). It is based on a patch attached to Debian bug #466063, see . Idea by Jari Aalto , patch adapted by Alexander Barton .
