 ngIRCd 23
 
+  ngIRCd 23~rc1 (2015-09-06)
+  - 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
