 ngIRCd CVSHEAD
 
+  - Two new configuration options: "ChrootDir" and "MotdPhrase", thanks to
+    Benjamin Pineau <ben@zouh.org>. Now you can force the daemon to change
+    its root and working directory to something "safe". MotdPhrase is used
+    to define an "MOTD string" instead of a whole file, useful if the
+    "real" MOTD file would be outside the "jail".
+  - INVITE- and BAN-lists become synchronized between IRC+ servers when
+    establishing new connections, if the peer supports this as well.
+  - Reorganized autogen.sh and configure scripts.
+  - Fixed a wrong assert() which could cause the daemon to exit spuriously
+    when closing down connections.
+  - Better logging of decompression errors returned by zlib.
+  - Servers other than the destination server didn't clean up the invite
+    list of an "invite-only" channel properly when an INVITE'd user joined.
+  - Changed the reply of the MODE command to match the syntax of the
+    original ircd exactly: the unnecessary but missing ":" before the last
+    parameter has been added.
+  - Fixed TRACE: don't output "Serv" lines for ourself; display more info.
+  - Results of the resolver (hostnames and IDENT names) are discarded after
+    the client is successfully registered with the server.
+  - Better logging while establishing and shutting down connections.
+  - The type of service (TOS) of all sockets is set to "interactive" now.
+  - Added short command line option "-t" as alternative to "--configtest".
+  - Added optional support for "IDENT" lookups on incoming connections. You
+    have to enable this function with the ./configure switch "--with-ident".
+    The default is not to do IDENT lookups.

+ngIRCd 0.7.7 (2004-02-05)
+
+  - The info text ("real name") of users is set to "-" if none has been
+    specified using the USER command (e. g. "USER user * * :"). Reason:
+    the original ircd doesn't like empty ones and would KILL such users.
+  - Fixed (optional) TCP Wrapper test which was broken and could result in
+    false results. Thanks to Fuminori Tanizaki <tany@mcnet.ad.jp>!
   - Removed "USE_" prefixes of configuration #defines.
