+  - Implemented the IRC function "WHOWAS".
+  - 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 users with a specific IRC mask. Patch from 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>.
+  - Added support for the Howl (http://www.porchdogsoft.com/products/howl/)
+    Rendezvous API, in addition to the API of Apple (Mac OS X). The available
+    API will be autodetected when you call "./configure --with-rendezvous".

+  - Two new configuration options: "ChrootDir" and "MotdPhrase", thanks to
+    Benjamin Pineau <ben@zouh.org>. Now you can force the daemon to change
+    its root and working directory to something "safe". MotdPhrase is used
+    to define an "MOTD string" instead of a whole file, useful if the
+    "real" MOTD file would be outside the "jail".
+  - INVITE- and BAN-lists become synchronized between IRC+ servers when
+    establishing new connections, if the peer supports this as well.
   - The type of service (TOS) of all sockets is set to "interactive" now.
   - Added short command line option "-t" as alternative to "--configtest".
   - Added optional support for "IDENT" lookups on incoming connections. You
