+  - 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.
   - Implement a new configuration option "IncludeDir" in the "[Options]"
     section that can be used to specify a directory which can contain
     further configuration files and configuration file snippets matching
