+  - New configuration variable "PidFile", section "[Global]": if defined,
+    the server writes its process ID (PID) to this file. Default: off.
+    Idea of Florian Westphal, <westphal@foo.fh-furtwangen.de>.
+  - Added support for the Howl (http://www.porchdogsoft.com/products/howl/)
+    Rendezvous API, in addition to the API of Apple (Mac OS X). The available
+    API will be autodetected when you call "./configure --with-rendezvous".
+
+ngIRCd 0.8.0 (2004-06-26)
+
+  - Two new configuration options: "ChrootDir" and "MotdPhrase", thanks to
+    Benjamin Pineau <ben@zouh.org>. Now you can force the daemon to change
+    its root and working directory to something "safe". MotdPhrase is used
+    to define an "MOTD string" instead of a whole file, useful if the
+    "real" MOTD file would be outside the "jail".
+  - INVITE- and BAN-lists become synchronized between IRC+ servers when
+    establishing new connections, if the peer supports this as well.
+  - The type of service (TOS) of all sockets is set to "interactive" now.
+  - Added short command line option "-t" as alternative to "--configtest".
+  - 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.
