+ - Enforce "penalty times" on error conditions more consistently and in
+ more places. Now most error codes sent back from the IRC server to the
+ client should result in a 2 second "penalty".
+ - Implement a new configuration option "AllowedChannelTypes" that lists
+ all allowed channel types (channel prefixes) for newly created channels
+ on the local server. By default, all supported channel types are allowed.
+ If set to the empty string, local clients can't create new channels at
+ all, which equals the old "PredefChannelsOnly = yes" setting.
+ This change deprecates the "PredefChannelsOnly" variable, too, but it is
+ still supported and translated to the apropriate "AllowedChannelTypes"
+ setting. When the old "PredefChannelsOnly" variable is processed, a
+ warning message is logged. (Closes bug #152)
+ - Add support for "client certificate fingerprinting". When a client
+ passes an SSL certificate to the server, the "fingerprint" will be
+ forwarded in the network which enables IRC services to identify the
+ user using this certificate and not using passwords.
+ - IRC Operator names, as defined in ngircd.conf, are logged now when
+ handling successful OPER commands.
+ - Some error conditions while handling IRC commands, like "permission
+ denied" or "need more parameters", result in more penalty times.
- The numeric replies of some commands became split too early which
resulted in more numeric reply lines than necessary.
- Implement a new configuration option "IncludeDir" in the "[Options]"
Please note that neither the Operator (+o) not the "bot status" (+B)
of an IRC service id displayed in the output.
- Exit message: use singular & plural :-)
- - Add missing punctuation marks in log messages and adjust some
- severity levels.
+ - autogen.sh: Check for autoconf/automake wrapper scripts
+ - Add missing punctuation marks in log messages, adjust some severity
+ levels, and make SSL-related messages more readable.
- AUTHORS file: Update list of contributors.
- Update systemd(8) example configuration files in ./contrib/ directory:
the "ngircd.service" file now uses the "forking" service type which
and then is used to output individual help texts to specific topics.
Please see the file ./doc/Commands.txt for details.

+ - Security: Fix a denial of service bug (server crash) which could happen
+ when the configuration option "NoticeAuth" is enabled (which is NOT the
+ default) and ngIRCd failed to send the "notice auth" messages to new
+ clients connecting to the server (CVE-2013-5580).
