-<dl>
- <dt>21. Januar 2003: <strong>ngIRCd 0.6.1</strong>:
- <dd><ul>
- <li>Fixed KILL: you can't crash the server by killing yourself any more,
- ngIRCd no longer sends a QUIT to other servers after the KILL, and you
- can kill only valid users now.
- <li>The server no longer forwards commands to ordinary users, instead it
- answers with the correct error message ("no such server") now.
- <li>WHOIS commands weren't always forwarded as requested.
- <li>The server sets a correct default AWAY message now when propagating
- between servers (bug introduced in 0.6.0).
- <li>Fixed up and enhanced CHANINFO command: channel keys and user limits
- are syncronized between servers now, too.
- <li>MODE returns the key and user limit for channel members correctly now.
- <li>Non-members of a channel could crash the server when trying to change
- its modes or modes of its members.
- <li>The server didn't validate weather a target user is a valid channel
- member when changing his channel user modes which could crash ngIRCd.
