+  - New configuration option "NoZeroConf" to disable service registration at
+    runtime even if ngIRCd is compiled with support for ZeroConf (e.g. using
+    Howl, Avahi or on Mac OS X).
+  - New configuration option "SyslogFacility" to define the syslog "facility"

+    Possible values are system dependant, but most probably "auth", "daemon",

+    Default is "local5" for historical reasons.

+    signal SIGUSR1, when debug code is compiled in, not only on startup
+    using the command line parameters.
   - Implement user mode "x": hostname cloaking (closes: #102).
