+  - Implemented hashed cloaked hostnames for both the "CloakHost" and
+    "CloakHostModeX" configuration options: now the admin can use the new
+    '%x' placeholder to insert a hashed version of the clients hostname,
+    and the new configuration option "CloakHostSalt" defines the salt for
+    the hash function. When "CloakHostSalt" is not set (the default), a
+    random salt will be generated after each server restart.

+  ngIRCd 19.2~rc1 (2012-06-13)
+  - New configuration option "CloakHostModeX" to configure the hostname
+    that gets used for IRC clients which have user mode "+x" enabled.
+    Up to now, the name of the IRC server itself has been used for this,
+    which still is the default when "CloakHostModeX" isn't set.
+  - Add instructions for setting up Atheme IRC services.
+  - Implement support for IRC capability handling, the new "CAP" command,
+    and capablity "multi-prefix" which allows both the NAME and	WHO command
+    handlers to return more than one "class prefix" to the client.

+  - New numeric RPL_WHOISHOST_MSG(378), which returns the DNS host name
+    (if available) and the IP address of a client in the WHOIS reply.
+    Only the user itself and local IRC operators get this numeric.
   - Implement channel exception list (mode 'e'). This allows a channel
     operator to define exception masks that allow users to join the
     channel even when a "ban" would match and prevent them from joining:

   - Implement IRC commands "GLINE" and "KLINE" to ban users. G-Lines are

   - Added doc/Modes.txt: document modes supported by ngIRCd.
