+  - Actually KILL clients on GLINE/KLINE. (Closes bug #156)
+  - Add support to show all user links using the "STATS L" (uppercase)
+    command (restricted to IRC Operators).
+  - Implement configurable SSL cipher list selection for GnuTLS and OpenSSL
+    using the new configuration option "CipherList". In addition, this
+    changes the defaults to more secure values: "HIGH:!aNULL:@STRENGTH" for
+    OpenSSL, and "SECURE128" for GnuTLS.
+  - Show connection flag "s" (SSL) in RPL_TRACE{LINK|SERVER} messages: now
+    you can check if a server-to-server link is SSL-encrypted or not using
+    the IRC "TRACE" command.
+  - Implement the new configuration option "DefaultUserModes" which lists
+    user modes that become automatically set on new local clients right
+    after login. Please note that only modes can be set that the client
+    could set on itself, so you can't set "a" (away) or "o" (IRC Op),
+    for example! User modes "i" (invisible) or "x" (cloaked) etc. are
+    "interesting", though. (Closes bug #160)
+  - Add support for the new METADATA "account" property, which allows
+    services to automatically identify users after netsplits and across
+    service restarts.
   - 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
