+  - 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.
+       
+ngIRCd 0.7.1 (2003-07-18)
+
+  - Added support for GNU/Hurd.
+
+ngIRCd 0.7.0 (2003-05-01)
 
   - New command CONNECT to enable and add server links. The syntax is not
     RFC-compatible: use "CONNECT <name> <port>" to enable and connect an
     configured server and "CONNECT <name> <port> <host> <mypwd> <peerpwd>"
     to add a new server (ngIRCd tries to connect new servers only once!).
   - Added DISCONNECT command ("DISCONNECT <name>") to disable servers.
+  - New command TRACE (you can trace only servers at the moment).
+  - New command HELP that lists all understood commands.
+  - ngIRCd can register itself with Rendezvous: to enable support pass the
+    new switch "--with-rendezvous" to configure.
+  - Added support for TCP Wrappers library: pass "--with-tcp-wrappers" to
+    configure to enable it.
+  - Changed some configure options to use "--with"/"--without" as prefix
+    insetead of "--enable"/"--disable": "--without-syslog", "--without-zlib",
+    "--with-tcp-wrappers", and "--with-rendezvous".
+  - Enhanced manual pages ngircd(8) and ngircd.conf(5).
+  - Documentation is now installed in $(datadir)/doc/ngircd.
