ngIRCd release 18

Update ChangeLog and NEWS for ngIRCd release 18

Updated doc/Platforms.txt for ngIRCd release 18

MorePrivacy: Don't register WHOWAS information Citing an email from Florian to the ngIRCd mailing list: "I wonder what the expected behaviour is when Conf_MorePrivacy is changed from 'yes' to 'no' and the config is reloaded. At the moment, WHOWAS will start giving out information on Users that were connected during Conf_MorePrivacy=yes period. If this is not wanted, Client_RegisterWhowas() should be changed to not store a record when Conf_MorePrivacy is enabled." And I think it is "not wanted" :-)

Add preliminary ngIRCd protocol module for Anope 1.9 See contrib/Anope/README and doc/Services.txt for more details and installation instructions!

Update timestamp of ngircd(8) manual page

ngIRCd release 18~rc2

GnuTLS: use 1024 (DH_BITS_MIN) as minimum size of the DH prime For outgoing connections, we use 2048 (DH_BITS) since commit 49b2d0e. This patch enables ngIRCd to accept incoming connections from other servers and clients that use at least 1024 bits (and no longer requires 2048 for incoming connections, too). Patch proposed by Florian Westphal.

ngircd.8: document debugging options

ngircd.conf.5: strip "SSL" prefix from variables in [SSL] section

Fix some wording, use spellchecker ;-)

doc/SSL.txt: adopt to new configuration file layout

ngIRCd release 18~rc1

hash: Use UINT32 instead of uint32_t

Update NEWS and ChangeLog file for our upcoming next release

hash: use more recent lookup3 algorithm instead of lookup2 Bob Jenkins published a newer hash function in May 2006, it has better distribution. See http://burtleburtle.net/bob/hash/doobs.html for lengthy comparisions.

Use srand()/rand() instead of srandom()/random(); seems to be more portable

Merge branch 'MorePrivacy' * MorePrivacy: New configuration opion "MorePrivacy" to "censor" some user information

sample-ngircd.conf: remove "SSL" prefix from SSL-related variables

New configuration opion "MorePrivacy" to "censor" some user information this patch contains: * Fix for Conf_CloakUserToNick to make it conceal user details * Adds MorePrivacy-feature MorePrivacy censors some user information from being reported by the server. Signon time and idle time is censored. Part and quit messages are made to look the same. WHOWAS requests are silently dropped. All of this is useful if one wish to conceal users that access the ngircd servers from TOR or I2P.

Merge branch 'ScrubCTCP' * ScrubCTCP: Add documentation for "ScrubCTCP" configuration option New option to scrub incoming CTCP commands

INSTALL: document changed location of configuration variables

Merge branch 'newconfig' * newconfig: sample-ngircd.conf: "SyslogFacility" should be commented out Move SSL-related configuration variables to new [SSL] section CheckFileReadable(): only check when a filename is given ... PAM: make clear which "Password" config option is ignored Really remove [Features] in our manual pages INSTALL: document changed location of configuration variables Update sample config file and manual page for new config structure Testsuite: update configuration files for new config file format Display configuration errors more prominent on "--configtest" conf.c: code cleanup Check for redability of SSL-related files like for MOTD file Restructure ngIRCd configuration, introduce [Limits] and [Options]

Add documentation for "ScrubCTCP" configuration option

Update sample config file and manual page for new config structure
