+ have to enable this function with the ./configure switch "--with-ident".
+ The default is not to do IDENT lookups.

+ngIRCd 0.7.5 (2003-07-11)
+
+ - New configuration variable "MaxConnectionsIP" to limit the number of
+ simultaneous connections from a single IP that the server will accept.
+ This configuration options lowers the risk of denial of service attacks
+ (DoS), the default is 5 connections per client IP.
+ - Added new configuration variable "Listen" to bind all listening
+ sockets of the server to a single IP address.
+

+
+ngIRCd 0.7.0 (2003-05-01)
+
+ - New command CONNECT to enable and add server links. The syntax is not
+ RFC-compatible: use "CONNECT <name> <port>" to enable and connect an
+ configured server and "CONNECT <name> <port> <host> <mypwd> <peerpwd>"
+ to add a new server (ngIRCd tries to connect new servers only once!).
+ - Added DISCONNECT command ("DISCONNECT <name>") to disable servers.
+ - New command TRACE (you can trace only servers at the moment).
+ - New command HELP that lists all understood commands.
+ - ngIRCd can register itself with Rendezvous: to enable support pass the
+ new switch "--with-rendezvous" to configure.
+ - Added support for TCP Wrappers library: pass "--with-tcp-wrappers" to
+ configure to enable it.
+ - Changed some configure options to use "--with"/"--without" as prefix
+ insetead of "--enable"/"--disable": "--without-syslog", "--without-zlib",
+ "--with-tcp-wrappers", and "--with-rendezvous".
+ - Enhanced manual pages ngircd(8) and ngircd.conf(5).
+ - Documentation is now installed in $(datadir)/doc/ngircd.
