+Differences to previous version 
+
+- Starting with ngIRCd 21, the ciphers used by SSL are configurable and
+  default to HIGH:!aNULL:@STRENGTH (OpenSSL) or SECURE128 (GnuTLS).
+  Previous version were using the OpenSSL or GnuTLS defaults, DEFAULT
+  and NORMAL respectively.
+
+Differences to version 19.x
+
+- Starting with ngIRCd 20, users can "cloak" their hostname only when the
+  configuration variable "CloakHostModeX" (introduced in 19.2) is set.
+  Otherwise, only IRC operators, other servers, and services are allowed to
+  set mode +x. This prevents regular users from changing their hostmask to
+  the name of the IRC server itself, which confused quite a few people ;-)
