-  - Fixed a bug that could case a root exploit when the daemon is compiled
-    to do IDENT lookups and is logging to syslog. Bug discovered by CoKi,
-    <coki@nosystem.com.ar>, thanks a lot!
-    (http://www.nosystem.com.ar/advisories/advisory-11.txt)
+  - Removed unnecessary #define of "LOCAL", now use plain C "static" instead.
+  - 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 pratice, 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-pre1 (2005-07-09)
+  - Fixed maximum length of user names, now allow up to 9 characters.
+  - Cut off oversized IRC messages that should be sent to the network instead
+    of shuttding down the (wrong) connection.
+  - Don't generate error messages for unknown commands received before the
+    client is registered with the server (like the original ircd).
+  - Never run with root privileges but always switch the user ID.
+  - Make "netsplit" messages RFC compliant.
+  - Fix handling of QUIT Messages: send only one message, even if the client
+    is member of multiple channels.
+  - Don't exit server if closing of a socket fails; instead ignore it and
+    pray that this will be "the right thing" ...
+  - Implemented the IRC function "WHOWAS".
+  - Don't enable assert() calls when not ./configure'd with --enable-debug.
+  - Fixed ./configure test for TCP Wrappers: now it runs on Mac OS X as well.
+  - Enhanced configure script: now you can pass an (optional) search path
+    to all --with-XXX parameters, e. g. "--with-ident=/opt/ident".
+  - Removed typedefs for the native C datatypes.
+    Use stdbool.h / inttypes.h if available.
+  - 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.
+  - Write "error file" (/tmp/ngircd-XXX.err) only if compiled with debug
+    code ("--enable-debug") and running as daemon process.
+  - Don't create version information string each time a client connects
+    but instead on server startup. By 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>.
