-       <strong>Caution:</strong>
-       ngIRCd-versions previous to 0.10.4 contain a bug which can be used
-       (also remotely) to crash the daemon. All installations should be
-       updated to version 0.10.4 or newer!<br>
-       The SSL/TLS functions prior to 14.1 have a bug which can crash the
-       daemon as well. If using SSL/TLS you should update to at least
-       ngIRCd 14.1 (or newer)!
+       ngIRCd is used as the daemon in real-world in-house and public IRC
+       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>
+<p class="security">
+       <strong>Caution:</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>
