 ngIRCd Release 19
 

+  ngIRCd 19~rc1 (2012-02-12)
+  - Enhance command limits for server links: the limit now is dependent
+    on the number of users connected in the network and higher while
+    servers are joining the network to make the login of servers faster.
+  - Log more information about server synchronization.
+  - Update preliminary ngIRCd protocol module for Anope 1.9.6, which now
+    is the only supported version.
+  - New numeric RPL_WHOISHOST_MSG(378), which returns the DNS hostname
+    (if available) and the IP address of a client in the WHOIS reply.
+    Only the user itself and local IRC operators get this numeric.
+  - Implement channel exception list (mode 'e'). This allows a channel
+    operator to define exception masks that allow users to join the
+    channel even when a "ban" would match and prevent them from joining:
+    the exception list (e) overrides the ban list (b).
+  - PRIVMSG and NOTICE: Handle nick!user@host masks case-insensitive.
+  - Implement user mode 'C': If the target user of a PRIVMSG or NOTICE
+    command has the user mode 'C' set, it is required that both sender
+    and receiver are on the same channel. This prevents private flooding
+    by completely unknown clients.
+  - New RPL_WHOISREGNICK_MSG(307) numeric in WHOIS command replies: it
+    indicates if a nick name is registered (if user mode 'R' set).
+  - Limit channel invite, ban, and exception lists to 50 entries and fix
+    duplicate check and error messages when adding already listed entries
+    or deleting no (longer) existing ones.
+  - Fix both ERR_SUMMONDISABLED(445) and ERR_USERSDISABLED(446) replies.

   - MODE command: correctly return ERR_UNKNOWNMODE(472) numeric for
     unknown channel modes, instead of ERR_UMODEUNKNOWNFLAG(501).

   - Limit the number of list items in the reply of LIST (100), WHO (25),
     WHOIS (10), and WHOWAS (25) commands.
   - LIST command: compare pattern case insensitive.

+    If you use "*!<user>@<host>" or "*!*@<host>" masks, these connections
+    are blocked even before the user is fully logged in (before PASS,
+    NICK, and USER commands have been processed) and before the child
+    processes for authentication are forked, so resource usage is smaller.
