+ngIRCd Release 15 (2009-11-07)
+
+  - "ngircd --configtest": print SSL configuration options even when unset.
+
+  ngIRCd 15~rc1 (2009-10-15)
+  - Do not add default listening port (6667) if SSL ports were specified, so
+    ngIRCd can be configured to only accept SSL-encrypted connections now.
+  - Enable IRC operators to use the IRC command SQUIT (insted of the already
+    implemented but non-standard DISCONNECT command).
+  - New configuration option "AllowRemoteOper" (disabled by default) that
+    enables remote IRC operators to use the IRC commands SQUIT and CONNECT
+    on the local server.
+  - Mac OS X: fix test for packagemaker(1) tool in Makefile and use gcc 4.0
+    for Mac OS X 10.4 compatibility in the Xcode project file.
+  - Fix --with-{openssl|gnutls} to accept path names.
+  - Fix LSB header of Debian init script.
+  - Updated doc/Platforms.txt and include new script contrib/platformtest.sh
+    to ease generating platform reports.
+  - Fix connection information for already registered connections.
+  - Enforce upper limit on maximum number of handled commands. This implements
+    a throttling scheme: an IRC client can send up to 3 commands or 256 bytes
+    per second before a one second pause is enforced.
+  - Fix connection counter.
+  - Fix a few error handling glitches for SSL/TLS connections.
+  - Minor fixes to manual pages and documentation.
+
 ngIRCd Release 14.1 (2009-05-05)
 
   - Security: fix remotely triggerable crash in SSL/TLS code.

     ngIRCd has been tested with various Linux distributions, such as SuSE,
     RedHat, Debian, and Gentoo using Kernels 2.2.x, 2.4.x and 2.6.x with
     various versions of the GNU C compiler (starting with 2.95.x and up to
     version 4.3.x). The eldest glibc used was glibc-2.0.7. ngIRCd compiled
     and run on all these systems without problems.
-    Actual Linux kernels (2.6.x) and glic's support the epoll() IO interface.
+    Actual Linux kernels (2.6.x) and glibc's support the epoll() IO interface.
 
 (2) This compiler is an pre-ANSI C compiler, therefore the source code is
     automatically converted using the included ansi2knr tool while building.
