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! (manually cherry picked from commit a84f7dcee5a1b32c74188aa5374d30eddd24852b)

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.

- Update timestamp, - enhance some phrasing, - and fix "Passive" ([Server]) formatting. (cherry picked from commit aad49bd260494878aed6795c7a897ad1d28c3082)

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>. (cherry picked from commit 818a206a4261f3d4153b0ab5c2025d77002290f5)

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.

This is picked from commits d9c26f3aeb35e979b72f7b0ac4220dbd07d7bc15 "ng_ipaddr.h must include netinet/in.h." and 4e507881f30c8b4296d87de519658e45f8cb417f "On AIX (for example) socklen_t is defined in sys/socket.h"

/who on a secret channel that the user is not a member of now returns proper RPL_ENDOFWHO_MSG instead of nothing. [picked from 12cd554af1709c44f35024d7d2fc368fb22f133d; without testcase]

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...)

Fixed bug 81: 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).
