+  - Fix documentation of MotdPhrase length, which actually is 126 characters:
+    update sample configuration file as well as the man page. Thanks to
+    shankari <shankari@eecs.berkeley.edu>.
+    Closes #254.
+  - Implement new configuration option "MaxPenaltyTime", which configures the
+    maximum penalty time increase in seconds, per penalty event. Set to -1 for
+    no limit (the default), 0 to disable penalties altogether. ngIRCd doesn't
+    use penalty increases higher than 2 seconds during normal operation, so
+    values higher than 1 rarely make sense.
+    Disabling (or reducing) penalties can greatly speed up "make check" runs
+    for example, see below, but are mostly a debugging feature and normally
+    not meant to be used on production systems!
+    Some example timings running "make check" from my macOS workstation:
+     - MaxPenaltyTime not set: 4:41,79s
+     - "MaxPenaltyTime = 1":   3:14,71s
+     - "MaxPenaltyTime = 0":     25,46s
+    Closes #249 and #251.
+  - Fix compilation without deprecated OpenSSL APIs. Thanks to Rosen Penev
+    <rosenp@gmail.com> for the patch!
+    Closes #252.
+  - Update Xcode project for latest Xcode version (10.0)
+  - Fix some compiler warnings of Apple Xcode/Clang
+  - Allow a 5th parameter in WEBIRC. Thanks to "ItsOnlyBinary".
+    Closes #247.
+  - Update some more documentation files and source code comments.
+  - Platforms.txt: Add and update systems.

   - Correctly retry to establish an outgoing connections when forking of the
     resolver sub-process failed (for example because of lack of free memory).
     Until now, such a connection was never retried once this error was hit.
