2010-07-13New configuration option "NoPAM" to disable PAMAlexander Barton
When the "NoPAM" configuration option is set and ngIRCd is compiled with support for PAM, ngIRCd will not call any PAM functions: all connection attemps without password will succeed instead and all connection attemps with password will fail. If ngIRCd is compiled without PAM support, this option is a dummy option and nothing changes: the global server password will still be in effect.
2010-02-11Implement WEBIRC commandAlexander Barton
The WEBIRC command is used by some Web-to-IRC gateways to set the correct user name and host name of users instead of their own. Syntax: WEBIRC <password> <username> <hostname> <ip-address> The <password> must be set using the new configuration variable "WebircPassword" in the [Global] section of ngircd.conf. Please note that the <ip-address> is currently not used by ngIRCd (we don't store it in the CLIENT structure, only the resolved hostname).

2009-09-30New configuration option "AllowRemoteOper"Alexander Barton
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 ...
2009-08-31do not add default listening port if ssl ports were specifiedFlorian Westphal
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.

2009-01-20Support individual channel keys for pre-defined channels.Alexander Barton
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"!

2008-11-21Fix double minus signs in manual pagesAlexander Barton
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."
2008-11-19New configuration option "NoIdent" to disable IDENT lookupsAlexander Barton
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.
2008-11-12Connection counter: count outgoing connections as well.Alexander Barton
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!

2008-05-19make Listen parameter a comma-seperated list of addresses.Florian Westphal
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.
2008-05-18Add option aliases -V (for --version) and -h (for --help).Jari Aalto
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>.

Since we are using GIT starting from now, I converted all the .cvsignore files to .gitignore files.
2007-11-23bind ListenAddress for outgoing connectionsFlorian Westphal
ngircd would always use INADDR_ANY for outgoing connections; which might not be desirable. Added new [Server] option "Bind" to set source ip.
2007-11-21Introduce option to configure the maximum nick name lenth in ngircd.confAlexander Barton
- 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.
