+ngIRCd 20 (2012-12-17)
+
+  - Allow user names ("INDENT") up to 20 characters when ngIRCd has not
+    been configured for "strict RFC mode". This is useful if you are using
+    external (PAM) authenticaion mechanisms that require longer user names.
+    Patch suggested by Brett Smith <brett@w3.org>, see
+    <http://arthur.barton.de/pipermail/ngircd-ml/2012-October/000579.html>.
+
+  ngIRCd 20~rc2 (2012-12-02)
+  - Rework cloaked hostname handling and implement the "METADATA cloakhost"
+    subcommand: Now ngIRCd uses two fields internally, one to store the
+    "real" hostname and one to save the "cloaked" hostname. This allows
+    "foreign servers" (aka "IRC services") to alter the real and cloaked
+    hostnames of clients without problems, even when the user itself issues
+    additional "MODE +x" and "MODE -x" commands.
+
+  ngIRCd 20~rc1 (2012-11-11)
   - Update doc/Services.txt: describe the upcoming version of Anope 1.9.8,
     then including a protocol module for ngIRCd. And remove our own patches
     in ./contrib/Anope because they aren't supported any more ...
