← 1.9.1

ZNC git

See https://github.com/znc/znc/compare/znc-1.9.1...master for a list of changes since 1.9.1 stable.

New

• Implemented SASL v3.1 and v3.2 for clients. It's possible to optionally pass network name and/or client id in the "authorization ID" field of SASL, with the same syntax as without SASL: user@client/network. Core gained several new module hooks, the specific mechanisms are implemented in modules:
  • saslplainauth implements PLAIN mechanism; this module is loaded by default for new installations, and it supports checking the password using other modules such as imapauth.
  • certauth implements EXTERNAL mechanism.
• Implemented chghost capability. The fallback for clients which don't support it is as usual: QUIT followed by JOIN and MODE.
• znc --makepem now takes the CN from gethostname() and uname() if available. This is still overrideable via HOSTNAME environment variable.

Fixes

• Fixed the translation pipeline again, pulled latest translations from crowdin - the pipeline had broken before 1.9.1, but we didn't notice, leaving translations outdated.
• Fix sending server passwords with spaces in them

Modules

• certauth:
  • it's no longer required to send a garbage password via PASS command, if the client uses SASL EXTERNAL.
  • switched fingerprints from SHA-1 to more secure SHA-256. For now it still accepts old configs, and if the correct certificate is present, automatically replaces the stored fingerprint with SHA-256, but the support for SHA-1 will be removed in some future version.
• log: don't log user quit to disabled channels.
• modperl: remove usage of given/when.
• sasl: if RequireAuth is set, but SASL failed, don't disable the network, simply disconnect, and try later, because such issue is often transient, while IRC services are down.

Internal

• Update integration tests to Qt 6
• Minor performance improvements
