Changes:
2.9.4
(1) SSL support can now be used incoming.
(2) Added three new configuration entries to handle new features:
listenex [--ssl][--limit <maxusers>][--localhost <hostname>] <port>
privatekey <filename>
publickey <filename>
2.9.3
(1) SECURITY FIX: FD_SETSIZE overflow DOS
(2) SSL support can now be used if configured with --with-ssl
SSL connection is done by passing -s
ex. /quote conn -s ircs.server
Note: this is only partially secure since SSL is only supported
outgoing.
2.9.2
(1) Added flush to logging
(2) General code changes to fix compiling on some compilers
(3) Fixed problems binding to listening address
2.9.1
(1) SECURITY FIX: password check, was only letting incorrect passwords in
(2) Fixed IP binding on listen
2.9.0
(1) Added trailing newlines to log records
(2) Added extra error handling on accepting connections
(3) Fixed buffer overflow in getnickuserhost (reported by Leon Juranic)
(4) Added extra check for gethostbyname2
(5) Made password check more thorough
(6) Fixed ipv6 dns resolving to random ipv4
2.8.9
(1) Fixed backspace security flaw (reported by Yak)
(2) Fixed compile errors related to compound statements
(3) Rewrote logic of /vip command
(4) Rewrote docked session listing code
2.8.8
(1) Added support for setting a specific IP to listen on
(listen <[host:]port> [maxusers])
(2) Enhanced bncsetup to use new conf format and new question to handle
specific host entering.
(3) Changed the Makefile to list libraries last, some crypt libraries
predefined their own main function which prevented compiling.
(4) Reorganized the connection code to fix a bug where a user gets
disconnected while connecting to an irc server.
(5) Socket length was not being set before accept. (Thanks chris)
(6) Removed old hack code for systems that do not support snprintf.
(7) Increased error checking in recv code.
(8) Better parsing of messages
(9) Server buffers always cleared when connecting to a new server.
(10) Initial IPv6 support. Added -6 option to the CONN command
(i.e. CONN -6 irc.ipv6.org) which is only necessary on ambigious
addresses or when connecting via dns.
(11) Listen host can be specified in conf as an ipv6 address by putting
the address in []'s (i.e. LISTEN [2000:610:0:23::]:6669)
Requested by Peter Avalos <pavalos@theshell.com> in private e-mail.
Initial patches from Juan RP via PR pkg/20101.
Changelog:
2.8.6
=====
- Bnc now lists all docked sessions
- Rewrote the send/recv code
- Implemented non-blocking sockets
- Fixed a problem with bnc not binding to vhost when specified by
IP instead of dns
2.8.4
=====
- a quick change added to conf.c by moomoomoo to fix a major bug and
tide us over until the 3.0.0 version is ready for public release.
2.8.2
=====
- Coded in channel watching code for docking.
- Coded a new line parsing system
- Coded a new system for the client lists, maybe it will fix some bugs
- implemented docking, still very beta though /detach password /resume
FD password
- rewrote some of the inner workings, hope this fixed some bugs.
- rewrote config file format, now uses real words (listen xxx) read
example.conf for details. Old format will still work.
foo-* to foo-[0-9]*. This is to cause the dependencies to match only the
packages whose base package name is "foo", and not those named "foo-bar".
A concrete example is p5-Net-* matching p5-Net-DNS as well as p5-Net. Also
change dependency examples in Packages.txt to reflect this.
