+ngIRCd 0.8.0 (2004-06-26)
+
+ - 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
+ have to enable this function with the ./configure switch "--with-ident".
+ The default is not to do IDENT lookups.
+
+ngIRCd 0.7.5 (2003-07-11)
+
+ - New configuration variable "MaxConnectionsIP" to limit the number of
+ simultaneous connections from a single IP that the server will accept.
+ This configuration options lowers the risk of denial of service attacks
+ (DoS), the default is 5 connections per client IP.
+ - Added new configuration variable "Listen" to bind all listening
+ sockets of the server to a single IP address.
