+ngIRCd 20.1 (2013-01-02)
+
+ - Allow ERROR command on server and service links only, ignore them and
+ add a penalty time on all other link types.
+ - Enforced mode setting by IRC Operators: Only check the channel user
+ modes of the initiator if he is joined to the channel and not an IRC
+ operator enforcing modes (which requires the configuration option
+ "OperCanUseMode" to be enabled), because trying to check channel user
+ modes of a non-member results in an assertion when running with debug
+ code or could crash the daemon otherwise. This closes bug #147, thanks
+ to James Kirwill <james.kirwill@bk.ru> for tracking this down!
+ - Fix build system to cope with spaces in path names.
+ - Code cleanups, mostly to fix build warnings on Cygwin.
+
+ngIRCd 20 (2012-12-17)
+
+ - Allow user names ("INDENT") up to 20 characters when ngIRCd has not
+ been configured for "strict RFC mode". This is useful if you are using
+ external (PAM) authenticaion mechanisms that require longer user names.
+ Patch suggested by Brett Smith <brett@w3.org>, see
+ <http://arthur.barton.de/pipermail/ngircd-ml/2012-October/000579.html>.

+ ngIRCd 20~rc2 (2012-12-02)
+ - Rework cloaked hostname handling and implement the "METADATA cloakhost"
+ subcommand: Now ngIRCd uses two fields internally, one to store the
+ "real" hostname and one to save the "cloaked" hostname. This allows
+ "foreign servers" (aka "IRC services") to alter the real and cloaked
+ hostnames of clients without problems, even when the user itself issues
+ additional "MODE +x" and "MODE -x" commands.
+ - RPL_UMODEIS: send correct target name, even on server links.
+ - Update platformtest.sh to follow autoconf changes and only generate
+ the "configure" script when it is missing.
+ - Fix the test suite to correctly execute test scripts even when stdout
+ is redirected.
+ - Fix some compiler warnings on NetBSD and OpenBSD.
+
+ ngIRCd 20~rc1 (2012-11-11)
+ - Update doc/Services.txt: describe the upcoming version of Anope 1.9.8,
+ then including a protocol module for ngIRCd. And remove our own patches
+ in ./contrib/Anope because they aren't supported any more ...
+ - Implement new "METADATA" command which can be used by remote servers
+ and IRC services to update client metadata like the client info text
+ ("real name"), user name, and hostname, and use this command to
+ configure an cloaked hostname (user mode "+x") on remote servers:
+ This prevents "double cloaking" of hostnames and even cloaked
+ hostnames are in sync on all servers supporting "METADATA" now.
+ - Fix error message when trying to join non-predefined channels and the
+ "PredefChannelsOnly" configuration option is set.
+ - Implement new IRC "SVSNICK" command to allow remote servers (and IRC
+ services) to change nicknames of already registered users. The SVSNICK
+ command itself doesn't change the nickname, but it becomes forwarded
+ to the server to which the user is connected to. And then this server
+ initiates the real nickname changing using regular NICK commands.
+ This allows to run mixed networks with old servers not supporting the
+ SVSNICK command, because SVSNICK commands for nicknames on such servers
+ are silently ignored and don't cause a desynchronization of the network.
+ - Make server reconnect time a little bit more random, so that two
+ servers trying to connect to each other asynchronously don't try this
+ in exactly the same time periods and kick each other off ...
+ - Don't accept connections for servers already being linked: there was a
+ time frame that could result in one connection overwriting the other,
+ e. g. the incoming connection overwriting the status of the outgoing
+ one. And this could lead to all kind of weirdness (even crashes!) later
+ on: now such incoming connections are dropped.
- New configuration option "MaxListSize" to configure the maximum number
of channels returned by a LIST command. The default is 100, as before.
- Implement user mode "b", "block messages": when a user has set mode "b",
