+ngIRCd Release 17
+
+  - Implement user mode "x": hostname cloaking (closes: #102).
+  - Change MOTD file handling: ngIRCd now caches the contens of the MOTD
+    file, so the daemon now requires a HUP signal or REHASH command to
+    re-read the MOTD file when its content changed.
+  - Allow IRC ops to change channel modes even without OperServerMode set.
+  - Allow IRC operators to use MODE command on any channel (closes: #100).
+  - New configuration option "NoPAM" to disable PAM.
+  - Implement asynchronous user authentication using PAM, please see the
+    file doc/PAM.txt for details.
+  - Implement user mode "c": receive connect/disconnect NOTICEs. Note that
+    this new mode requires the user to be an IRC operator.
+  - Show SSL status in WHOIS output, numeric 275.
+
+ngIRCd Release 16 (2010-05-02)
+
+  ngIRCd 16~rc2 (2010-04-25)
+  - Enhace connection statistics counters: display total number of served
+    connections on daemon shutdown and when a new client connects using
+    the new numeric RPL_STATSCONN (250).
+
+  ngIRCd 16~rc1 (2010-03-25)
+  - Implement WEBIRC command used by some Web-IRC frontends. The password
+    required to secure this command must be configured using the new
+    "WebircPassword" variable in the ngircd.conf file.
+  - Remove limit on max number of configured irc operators.
   - A new channel mode "secure connections only" (+z) has been implemented:
     Only clients using a SSL encrypted connection to the server are allowed
     to join such a channel.
