+
+ ngIRCd 0.10.0-pre1 (2006-08-02)
+ - Enhanced DIE to accept a single parameter ("comment text") which is sent
+ to all locally connected clients before the server goes down.
+ - JOIN now supports more than one channel key at a time.
+ - Implemented numeric "333": Time and user name who set a channel topic.
+ - Channel topics are no longer limited to 127 characters: now the only limit
+ is the maximum length of an IRC command, i. e. 512 bytes (in practice, this
+ limits the topic to about 490 characters due to protocol overhead).
+ - Reverse DNS lookup code now checks the result by doing an additional
+ lookup to prevent spoofing.
+ - Added new IO layer which (optionally) supports epoll() and kqueue() in
+ addition to the select() interface.
+
+ngIRCd 0.9.0 (2005-07-24)
+
+ - Never run with root privileges but always switch the user ID.
+ - Make "netsplit" messages RFC compliant.
+ - Implemented the IRC function "WHOWAS".
+ - New configuration option "OperServerMode" to enable a workaround needed
+ when running an network with ircd2 servers and "OperCanUseMode" enabled
+ to prevent the ircd2 daemon to drop mode changes of IRC operators.
+ Patch by Florian Westphal, <westphal@foo.fh-furtwangen.de>.
+ - Implemented support for "secret channels" (channel mode "s").
+ - New configuration option "Mask" for [Operator] sections to limit OPER
+ commands to users with a specific IRC mask. Patch from Florian Westphal.
+ - New configuration variable "PidFile", section "[Global]": if defined,
+ the server writes its process ID (PID) to this file. Default: off.
+ Idea of Florian Westphal, <westphal@foo.fh-furtwangen.de>.
