+ wrong sized data types on platforms where time_t doesn't equal a

+ output on those platforms).
+ - contrib/Debian/changelog: Fix email address.
+ - Documentation: Spelling fixes; update doc/Platforms.txt.
ngIRCd 23~rc1 (2015-09-06)
- Add ".clang_complete" file, which is used by the "linter-clang" package
- Use "NOTICE *" before registration instead of "NOTICE AUTH". "AUTH" is
a valid nickname so sending notices to it is probably not a good idea.
Use "*" as the target instead as done with numerics when the nick is not

Patch by Tom Ryder <tom@sanctum.geek.nz>, thanks! Closes #182.
- Keep track of who placed bans, invites, and excepts.
- Idee and implementation by LucentW, Thanks! Closes #203.
+ Idea and implementation by LucentW, Thanks! Closes #203.
- Make setgroups(3) function optional: For example, Interix is missing
this function, which prevented ngIRCd to build on this platform. When
setgroups(3) isn't available, a warning message is issued on startup.
- Implement numeric RPL_LISTSTART(321). lightIRC and other clients
expecting RPL_LISTSTART should now behave correctly.
- Idee and implementation by LucentW, Thanks! Closes #207.

string became lowercased and was then compared to the pattern -- which
hide IP addresses/hostnames on WHOIS when "MorePrivacy" is in effect.

the channel list).

ngIRCd 15~rc1 (2009-10-15)
