 	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-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 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>
