+  - Use "NOTICE *" before registration instead of "NOTICE AUTH". "AUTH" is
+    a valid nickname so sending notices to it is probably not a good idea.
+    Use "*" as the target instead as done with numerics when the nick is not
+    available. This mimics the behaviour in Charybdis, IRCD-Hybrid, InspIRCd
+    2.2, Plexus 4, etc. Closes #217.
+    The "NoticeAuth" configuration variable (ngircd.conf) has been renamed
+    to "NoticeBeforeRegistration" accordingly, but the old name is still
+    supported for compatibility reasons.
+  - Implement new channel mode "N" (regular users can't change their nick
+    name while on this channel). Closes #214.
+  - Keep track of who placed bans, invites, and excepts.
+    Idee and implementation by LucentW, Thanks! Closes #203.
+  - Implement numeric RPL_LISTSTART(321). lightIRC and other clients
+    expecting RPL_LISTSTART should now behave correctly.
+    Idee and implementation by LucentW, Thanks! Closes #207.
+  - Streamline the effect of "MorePrivacy" option: Update documentation
+    in ngircd.conf(5); don't hide channels for IRC Ops on LIST and don't
+    hide IP addresses/hostnames on WHOIS when "MorePrivacy" is in effect.
+    This closes #198.
+  - IRC operators now can kick anyone when "OperCanMode" is set.
+    Idee and implementation by LucentW, Thanks! Closes #202.
+  - Implement user mode "I": Hide channels on WHOIS: this mode prevents
+    ngIRCd from showing channels on WHOIS (IRC Operators can always see
+    the channel list).
+    Idee and implementation by LucentW, Thanks! Closes #197.
+  - INVITE command: Implement ERR_USERNOTONSERV(504) numeric and make sure
+    that the target user is on the same server when inviting other users
+    to local ("&") channels.
+    Idea by Cahata, thanks! Closes #183.
+  - MODE command: Always report channel creation time. Up to now when
+    receiving a MODE command, ngIRCd only reported the channel creation
+    time to clients that were members of the channel. This patch reports
+    the channel creation time to all clients, regardless if they are joined
+    to that channel or not. At least ircd-seven behaves like this.
+    This closes #188. Reported by Cahata, thanks!

+
+  - Update "CipherList" to not enable SSLv3 by default. Idea, initial patch,
+    and testing by Christoph Biedl <ngircd.anoy@manchmal.in-ulm.de>.
+  - Change ngIRCd test suite not to use DNS lookups: Different operating
+    systems do behave quite differently when doing DNS lookups, for example
+    "127.0.0.1" sometimes resolves to "localhost" and sometimes to
+    "localhost.localdomain" (for example OpenBSD). And other OS resolve
+    "localhost" to the real host name (for example Cygwin). So not using
+    DNS at all makes the test site much more portable.

   - Match all list patterns case-insensitive: this affects the invite-,
