Differences to version 22.x
+- The "NoticeAuth" ngircd.conf configuration variable has been renamed to
+ "NoticeBeforeRegistration". The old "NoticeAuth" variable still works but
+ is deprecated now.

- The default value of the SSL "CipherList" variable has been changed to
"HIGH:!aNULL:@STRENGTH:!SSLv3" (OpenSSL) and "SECURE128:-VERS-SSL3.0"
(GnuTLS) to disable the old SSLv3 protocol by default.
the new mask will be KILL'ed. This was not the case with earlier versions
that only added the mask but didn't kill already connected users.
+- The "PredefChannelsOnly" configuration variable has been superseded by the
+ new "AllowedChannelTypes" variable. It is still supported and translated to
+ the appropriate "AllowedChannelTypes" setting but is deprecated now.

Differences to version 19.x
- Starting with ngIRCd 20, users can "cloak" their hostname only when the

- Support for ZeroConf/Bonjour/Rendezvous service registration has been
removed. The configuration option "NoZeroconf" is no longer available.

configuration reload to take effect (HUP signal, REHASH command).
you can use the following commands to install all the required packages to
build the sources including all optional features and to run the test suite:

autogen.sh produces the Makefile.in's, which are necessary for the configure
script itself, and some more files for make. To run autogen.sh you'll need
GNU autoconf and GNU automake: at least autoconf 2.61 and automake 1.10 are

distribution archives: it will work but lack "de-ANSI-fication" support in the
generated Makefile's! Stick with automake 1.11.x for this purpose ...
So automake 1.11.x and autoconf 2.67+ is recommended.
