+ngIRCd 0.10.0-pre1 (2006-08-02)
+
+  - Enhanced DIE to accept a single parameter ("comment text") which is sent
+    to all locally connected clients before the server goes down.
+  - JOIN now supports more than one channel key at a time.
+  - Implemented numeric "333": Time and user name who set a channel topic.
+  - Channel topics are no longer limited to 127 characters: now the only limit
+    is the maximum length of an IRC command, i. e. 512 bytes (in practice, this
+    limits the topic to about 490 characters due to protocol overhead).
+  - Reverse DNS lookup code now checks the result by doing an additional
+    lookup to prevent spoofing.
+  - Added new IO layer which (optionally) supports epoll() and kqueue() in
+    addition to the select() interface.
+
+ngIRCd 0.9.0 (2005-07-24)
+
+  - Never run with root privileges but always switch the user ID.
+  - Make "netsplit" messages RFC compliant.
+  - Implemented the IRC function "WHOWAS".
+  - New configuration option "OperServerMode" to enable a workaround needed
+    when running an network with ircd2 servers and "OperCanUseMode" enabled
+    to prevent the ircd2 daemon to drop mode changes of IRC operators.
+    Patch by Florian Westphal, <westphal@foo.fh-furtwangen.de>.
+  - Implemented support for "secret channels" (channel mode "s").
+  - New configuration option "Mask" for [Operator] sections to limit OPER
+    commands to users with a specific IRC mask. Patch from Florian Westphal.
+  - 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".
