+ngIRCd Release 16
+
+ ngIRCd 16~rc1 (2010-03-25)
+ - Various fixes to the build system and code cleanups.
+ - contrib/platformtest.sh: Only show latest commit.
+ - Updatet doc/Platforms.txt, added new README-Interix.txt documenting
+ how to tun ngIRCd on Microsoft Services for UNIX (MS SFU, MS SUA).
+ - Updated links to the ngIRCd homepage (bug tracker, mailing list).
+ - Added missing modes to USERMODES #define
+ - Show our name (IRCD=ngIRCd) in ISUPPORT (005) numeric
+ - Quote received messages of ERROR commands in log output.
+ - ngircd.conf manual page: document missing "Password" variable.
+ - Implement WEBIRC command used by some Web-IRC frontends. The password
+ required to secure this command must be configured using the new
+ "WebircPassword" variable in the ngircd.conf file.
+ - Don't use port 6668 as example for both "Ports" and "SSLPorts".
+ - Remove limit on max number of configured irc operators.
+ - Only link "nsl" library when really needed.
+ - A new channel mode "secure connections only" (+z) has been implemented:
+ Only clients using a SSL encrypted connection to the server are allowed
+ to join such a channel.
+ But please note three things: a) already joined clients are not checked
+ when setting this mode, b) IRC operators are always allowed to join
+ every channel, and c) remote clients using a server not supporting this
+ mode are not checked either and therefore always allowed to join.
+
ngIRCd Release 15 (2009-11-07)
- "ngircd --configtest": print SSL configuration options even when unset.

+ -- README-Interix.txt --
+
+
+ngIRCd release 15 has successfully been tested on Microsoft Windows XP
+Professional using the Services for UNIX (SFU) version 3.5 and Microsoft
+Windows 7 with the bundled Subsystem for UNIX Applications (SUA).
+
+SFU are supported on Windows 2000, Windows 2000 Server, Windows XP, and
+Windows Server 2003. SUA is supported on Windows Server 2003 R2, Windows
+Server 2008 & 2008 R2, Windows Vista, and Windows 7 -- so ngIRCd should be
+able to run on all of these platforms.
+
+But please note that the poll() API function is not fully implemented by
+SFU/SUA and therefore can't be used by ngIRCd -- which normally would be
+the default. Please see <http://www.suacommunity.com/faqs.aspx> section
+4.25 for details:
+
+ "If you do try to use the poll() API your program will block on the
+ API call forever. You must direct your program to build using the
+ select() API."
+
+So when running the ./configure script, you HAVE TO DISABLE poll() support:
+
+ ./configure --without-poll
+
+ngIRCd then defaults to using the select() API function which works fine.
