+       networks and included in the package repositories of various operating
+       systems.

 <h3 id="history">
        History
 </h3>
+<p>
+       Development of ngIRCd started back in 2001: The server has been written
+       from scratch in C, tries to follow all relevant standards, and is not
+       based on the forefather, the daemon of the IRCNet.
+</p>
+<p>
+       It is not the goal of ngIRCd to implement all the nasty behaviors of
+       the original ircd or corner-cases in the RFCs, but to implement most of
+       the useful commands and semantics that are used by existing clients.

 <p class="security">
        <strong>Caution:</strong>
-       ngIRCd 20, 20.1, and 20.2 contain an error that could crash
-       the server daemon when the configuration option <q>NoticeAuth</q> is
-       enabled (which is <em>not</em> the default).
-       ngIRCd 20 and 20.1 both contain an additional error that allows
-       arbitrary users to crash the server daemon.
-       <strong>All installations should be updated to version 20.3 or
-       newer!</strong>
+       ngIRCd up to and including release 26.1 did <em>not validate</em> SSL
+       certificates on server-server links! If you run a network of ngIRCd
+       daemons <strong>you should upgrade to ngIRCd 27 (released April 26,
+       2024) or newer!</strong>
