Thanks to Phil Tyler for support :) 10-02-00 - on *BSD, the DCCANSWER command did not work. This happened because of a different handling of numeric resolves under BSD. found by CAJOLiNE 10-02-00 - If crypting was disabled, the bouncer could not compile because of variables still needed but not defined. found by ZZyZZ 10-02-00 - If a link in intnet was removed, all clients quitted because of a wrong disconnecting-order in the removelink-handling. found by me 10-02-00 - crash on bogus DCC SEND and DCC CHAT requests this bug was already fixed in a "fast-patch", called psyBNC2.2p1. found by cras 10-02-00 - if userdir wasnt writeable, the bouncer crashed. found by HERZ 10-02-00 - If linkage was turned off, the bouncer could not compile because it missed the "cmdrelink"-routine. 10-02-00 - In scripting, the content mask-compare did not work. found by AndrewB 10-02-00 - .ispoof was create rw User only, so a nobody-oidentd could not read it. 10-02-00 - the leavequit-command triggered the antiidle-flag. 10-02-00 - cleaning up structure 10-02-00 - A bug in names and networks set the userflag behind the network token. found by jerky 10-02-00 - Server notices and messages dont get logged anymore suggested by Tha-Mob Version 2.2: date boog/enhancement ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 08-13-00 - Changed the mode handling for scripting, so every single mode will be handed over. - Added timeouts to resolves 08-05-00 - Added SWITCHNET to switch from the main to another network. - Added LEAVEQUIT to leave all channels when signing off - Added LEAVEMSG $QUIT, if set to $QUIT, the leavemsg will be posted from the text to the quitmessage - made a cronny script 07-20-00 - Added scripting (cgi-stylish) See the readme and the litte example script in scripts/example. - Added DCC Chat & Files Allows you to dcc chat directly from the bouncer and to receive/send files from and to the shell. DCCCHATS are to be enabled with #define DCCCHAT and DCC File send/receive with #define DCCFILES - IPv6 Support psyBNC allows from version 2.2 the support of IPv6 in every mean. This includes listening and connecting to IPv6 hosts. Also implemented is DCC CHAT6 and DCC SEND6, but this is still experimental, and only hell knows, if it will be solved the way psybnc uses it. - Support of oIdentd added psyBNC allows the method of ident spoofing oIdentd supports. Use #define OIDENTD in the config.h File to enable it. - Moved all single INI-Files to one config file called psybnc.conf by default. - Multiple Listeners psyBNC can listen on as many ips and Ports as which are defined in the psybnc.conf file. This also allows to listen on an intranet ip and not as it was in 2.1 only on ALL interfaces. - Moved channels/names to internal This allows names and channelspecific informations much faster to be sent to the user, and will not create traffic on the server when the user rejoins psyBNC. - Reorganized string routines, reorganized socket string builds. - Invented an internal ircd into psybnc, which can be adressed by using int~ as token. This will be shared thruout the linked network of psybnc, and allows all modes including kicks/bans/op/voice. This was done to replace the old &partyline, which still can be used by setting the compiling option. The internal network can be enabled by entering #define INTNET and the old partyline channel by #define PARTYCHANNEL to the config.h File. - Flood protection The serverside socket will wait for a server reply before sending additional strings to the server. This allows sending many lines of text without getting flooded. The maximum same total number of bytes is set to 700. - Singleusermode / Multiusermode If Multiusermode is disabled, the login has not to fit to the added user, only the password is being checked. Also, the user may not add any other users than himself. Multiusermode gets defined with #define MULTIUSER and singleusermode will be active, when MULTIUSER is not defined. - Anonymous Mode This allows to open the proxy for anonymous users, so every login would be successfull. Will be enabled with #define ANONYMOUS. - Dynamic Mode This will kill the server connection after a user signed off from the bouncer. Will be enabled with #define DYNAMIC - Provider Configuration The shellprovider can define a global psyBNC config.h by putting this into /psybnc/config.h. On Compilation that config will be used. - Bugfixes in Networking The user did not see modes or nickchanges correctly on secondary networks. - The possibility to switch networks off by removing the NETWORK define from the config.h, the user cannot create any new Networks. - Bugfixes in Parsing Some Bugs in Parsing of IRC-Strings could crash the bouncer. This has been solved with 2.2. - Wrote a menuconfiguration with GUI for psyBNC. Just use make menuconfig to start it. - Deleted the os specific makefiles and replaced them with a selfdetecting configuration tool, which will sense the abilities of the system. date boog/enhancement ---------------------------------------------------------------------- (last changes for 2.1) 06-02-00 - Altavista decided to change their website at babelfish.altavista.com, so i had to rebuild the translation part. 04-19-00 - added password for servers see the changed syntax in /quote bhelp addserver requested by plato - added allow to switch logging off just add #define NOLOG into the config.h before compiling requested by [DRACON] 01-17-00 - another Bug in p_idea.c fixed found by XanTheR - partyline channel joining fixed found by bla - erasemainlog crash fixed found by plato - added spamcheck / "you have notes waiting" filter for private logging i was annoyed by this :) - whois bug fixed, if a whois on another nick was set before reconnect, his channels were shown as to be on. found by herz - talk encryption also encrypted DCC requests and other none-Message PRIVMSG transmissions. 2.1.1 will handle this messages correctly.
