Hello! Yesterday I prepared and uploaded the second release candidate for our upcoming release, ngIRCd 21~rc2 -- but I obviously forgot to write a proper release announcement ... sorry!
So here we go: There haven't been a lot of changes since the first release candidate a few weeks ago, mostly small bug fixes and documentation updates: • Report the correct configuration file name on configuration errors, support longer configuration lines, and warn when lines are truncated. • Use arc4random() function to generate "random" numbers, when available. • platformtest.sh: Detect clang compiler, and clean up GIT source tree before building (when possible). • Update (date of) manual pages. • Update "Upgrade Information" in INSTALL file, add more systems to doc/Platforms.txt, and fix spelling in NEWS and ChangeLog files =:) • Fix remaining compiler warnings on OpenBSD. Please have a look at the NEWS and ChangeLog files for the complete list of all changes and new features since ngIRCd 20: • http://ngircd.barton.de/doc/NEWS • http://ngircd.barton.de/doc/ChangeLog And please (PLEASE!) test this release candidate, I hope to be able to create the final release very soon. A good way to check it is by using the included ./contrib/platformtest.sh shell script, which will build ngIRCd, test it, and create a nice summary line suitable for inclusion into ./doc/Platforms.txt -- and contributions are highly appreciated, but you don't need to send thousands of lines for "mainstream" systems, distributions, and CPUs like Linux on i386 or amd64 ;-) • Homepage: <http://ngircd.barton.de/> (<http://ngircd.berlios.de/>) • Bug tracker: <http://ngircd.barton.de/bugzilla/> • Downloads: - FTP: <ftp://ftp.berlios.de/pub/ngircd/> - HTTP: <http://ngircd.barton.de/pub/ngircd/> Thanks to all testers and contributors! Have fun! Alex
