[IRCServices] Services 4.5.21 released

[Andrew Church]

     Services 4.5.21 has been released, and can be downloaded from:

ftp://ftp.esper.net/ircservices/ircservices-4.5.21.tar.gz
ftp://ftp.esper.net/ircservices/ircservices-4.5.21.diff.gz

ftp.ircservices.za.net and the mirrors should have it shortly.

     This release primarily fixes two problems.  One, reported by several
people, is that channels without auto-op lists (nobody on the list at
access level 5 or above, or LEVELS AUTOOP disabled) expire even if the
channel is being used; the ChanServ IDENTIFY and OP commands now update
the last-used time as well to avoid this problem.  The other problem is a
bug in glibc 2.2.2, used in several recent Linux distributions, which
causes spurious errors to be reported while processing the configuration
file.  It is unclear whether this bug has any real harmful effect on
Services other than this cosmetic error, but the configure script now
checks for this and will work around it as necessary.

Changes in version 4.5.21
-------------------------
2001/07/04	Added -no-dir-check option to configure script.  Suggested
		    by Gabor Z. Papp <gzp at papp.hu>
2001/07/04	Using the ChanServ OP or IDENTIFY commands now updates the
		    channel's last used time.  Fixes a problem reported by
		    Gabor Z. Papp <gzp at papp.hu> and others where channels
		    without auto-op lists expire even when in use.
2001/07/04	Added workaround for a(nother) strtok() bug in glibc 2.2.2.
		    Reported by several people.
2001/07/04	Fixed warnings when compiling with DEBUG_COMMANDS defined.
2001/07/04	Fixed compilation problem when using the "-use-local-funcs"
		    option with ./configure on a glibc system.  Reported by
		    Gabor Z. Papp <gzp at papp.hu>
2001/07/01	Made OperServ STATS UPTIME an alias for STATS (by itself).
2001/07/01	Fixed bug causing OperServ STATS to report statistics even
		    when an option (other than ALL) is given.  Reported by
		    James Lester <jamesrlester at hotmail.com>
2001/06/26	Fixed bugs, including a nasty crash, in handling of
		    RFC1459/TS8 USER command.  (The fact that nobody
		    reported these presumably means nobody uses such
		    servers anymore...)
2001/06/25	Fixed potential bug in handling of Unreal umode +d.
