+
+ - Fix documentation of MotdPhrase length, which actually is 126 characters:
+ update sample configuration file as well as the man page. Thanks to
+ shankari <shankari@eecs.berkeley.edu>.
+ Closes #254.
+ - Implement new configuration option "MaxPenaltyTime", which configures the
+ maximum penalty time increase in seconds, per penalty event. Set to -1 for
+ no limit (the default), 0 to disable penalties altogether. ngIRCd doesn't
+ use penalty increases higher than 2 seconds during normal operation, so
+ values higher than 1 rarely make sense.
+ Disabling (or reducing) penalties can greatly speed up "make check" runs
+ for example, see below, but are mostly a debugging feature and normally
+ not meant to be used on production systems!
+ Some example timings running "make check" from my macOS workstation:
+ - MaxPenaltyTime not set: 4:41,79s
+ - "MaxPenaltyTime = 1": 3:14,71s
+ - "MaxPenaltyTime = 0": 25,46s
+ Closes #249 and #251.
+ - Fix compilation without deprecated OpenSSL APIs. Thanks to Rosen Penev
+ <rosenp@gmail.com> for the patch!
+ Closes #252.
+ - Update Xcode project for latest Xcode version (10.0)
+ - Fix some compiler warnings of Apple Xcode/Clang
+ - Allow a 5th parameter in WEBIRC. Thanks to "ItsOnlyBinary".
+ Closes #247.
+ - Update some more documentation files and source code comments.
+ - Platforms.txt: Add and update systems.

Idea and implementation by LucentW, Thanks! Closes #207.
- Update ngircd.conf.5: "CloakUserToNick" hides user _and_ real name.
This closes #208.
- - Fix case insensitive pattern matching: Up to now, only the the input
+ - Fix case insensitive pattern matching: Up to now, only the input
string became lowercased and was then compared to the pattern -- which
failed when the pattern itself wasn't all lowercase!
- Streamline the effect of "MorePrivacy" option: Update documentation
ngIRCd 20.2 (2013-02-15)
- Security: Fix a denial of service bug in the function handling KICK
- commands that could be used by arbitrary users to to crash the daemon
+ commands that could be used by arbitrary users to crash the daemon
(CVE-2013-1747).
- WHO command: Use the currently "displayed hostname" (which can be cloaked!)
for hostname matching, not the real one. In other words: don't display all
