-- ChangeLog --
+ngIRCd 0.11.0-pre1 (2009-01-02)
+
+ - Use dotted-decimal IP address if hostname is >= 64.
+ - Add support for /STAT u (server uptime) command.
+ - New [Server] configuration Option "Bind" allows to specify
+ the source ip adress to use when connecting to remote server.
+ - New configuration option "MaxNickLength" to specify the allowed maximum
+ length of user nick names. Note: must be unique in an IRC network!
+ - Enhanced the IRC+ protocol to support an enhanced "server handshake" and
+ enable server to recognice numeric 005 (ISUPPORT) and 376 (ENDOFMOTD).
+ See doc/Protocol.txt for details.
+ - Re-added doc/SSL.txt to distribution -- got lost somewhere!?
+ - Fixes the wrong logging output when nested servers are introduced
+ to the network as well as the wrong output of the LINKS command.
+ - Update Mac OS X Xcode project file for Xcode 3.
+ - Adjust test suite to be usable on HP/UX 11.11 :-)
+ - Fix code to compile using K&R C compiler and ansi2kr again.
+ - New config option NoDNS: Disables DNS lookups when clients connect.
+ - Fixed propagation of channel mode 'P' on server links.
+ - Numeric 317: implemented "signon time" (displayed in WHOIS result).
+ - Fixed code that prevented GCC 2.95 to compile ngIRCd.
+ - Adjust path names in manual pages according to "./configure" settings.
+ - Added new server configuration option "Passive" for "Server" blocks to
+ disable automatic outgoing connections (similar to -p option to ngircd,
+ but only for the specified server). (Tassilo Schweyer)
+ - Don't connect to a server if a connection to another server within the
+ same group is already in progress.
+ - Added support for the WALLOPS command. Usage is restricted to IRC
+ operators.
+

peer understands this flag, it will send "MODE +I" and "MODE +b"

defined in RFC 2813, section 4.1.1.
-II.2 Exchange channel-modes, topics, and persistent channels
+II.2 Enhanced Server Handshake
+
+The "enhanced server handshake" is used when both servers support this IRC+
+extension, which is indicated by the 'H' flag in the <serverflags> sent with
+the PASS command, see section II.1.
+
+It basically means, that after exchanging the PASS and SERVER commands the
+server is not registered in the network (as usual), but that IRC numerics
+are exchanged until the numeric 376 (ENDOFMOTD) is received. Afterwards the
+peer is registered in the network as with the regular IRC protocol.
+
+A server implementing the enhanced server handshake (and indicating this
+using 'H' in the <serverflags>) MUST ignore all unknown numerics to it
+silently.
+
+In addition, such a server should at least send the numeric 005 (ISUPPORT)
+to its peer, containing the following information. Syntax: <key>=<value>,
+one token per IRC parameter. If the server has to send more than 12 token
+it must send separate ISUPPORT numerics (this is a limitation of the IRC
+protocol which allows at max 15 arguments per command).
+
+ - NICKLEN: Maximum nickname length. Default: 9.
+ - CASEMAPPING: Case mapping used for nick- and channel name comparing.
+ Default: "ascii", the chars [a-z] are lowercase of [A-Z].
+ - PREFIX: List of channel modes a person can get and the respective prefix
+ a channel or nickname will get in case the person has it. The order of the
+ modes goes from most powerful to least powerful. Default: "(ov)@+"
+ - CHANTYPES: Supported channel prefixes. Default: "#".
+ - CHANMODES: List of channel modes for 4 types, separated by comma (","):
+ Mode that adds or removes a nick or address to a list, mode that changes
+ a setting (both have always has a parameter), mode that changes a setting
+ and only has a parameter when set, and mode that changes a setting and
+ never has a parameter. For example "bI,k,l,imnPst".
+ - CHANLIMIT: Maximum number of channels allowed to join by channel prefix,
+ for example "#:10".
+
+Please see <http://www.irc.org/tech_docs/005.html> for details.
+
+The information exchanged using ISUPPORT can be used to detect configuration
+incompatibilities (different maximum nick name length, for example) and
+therefore to disconnect the peer prior to registering it in the network.
