+  - New configuration option "OperServerMode" to enable a workaround needed
+    when running an network with ircd2 servers and "OperCanUseMode" enabled
+    to prevent the ircd2 daemon to drop mode changes of IRC operators.
+    Patch by Florian Westphal, <westphal@foo.fh-furtwangen.de>.
+  - Implemented support for "secret channels" (channel mode "s").
+  - New configuration option "Mask" for [Operator] sections to limit OPER
+    commands to ussers with a specific IRC mask. Patch from Florian Westphal.
+  - Write "error file" (/tmp/ngircd-XXX.err) only if compiled with debug
+    code ("--enable-debug") and running as daemon process.
+  - Don't create version information string each time a client connects
+    but insetead on server startup. By Florian Westphal.
+  - New configuration variable "PidFile", section "[Global]": if defined,
+    the server writes its process ID (PID) to this file. Default: off.
+    Idea of Florian Westphal, <westphal@foo.fh-furtwangen.de>.
+  - Code cleanups from Florian Westphal, <westphal@foo.fh-furtwangen.de>.

   - Raised the maximum length of passwords to 20 characters.
   - Fixed a memory leak when resizing the connection pool and realloc()
     failed. Now we don't fall back to malloc(), which should be sane anyway.

+    been taken from rsync and they fixed it, but we didn't until today :-/
+    It has only been used when the system didn't implement strlcpy by itself,
