+not supported by ircu2.10.11.
+
+Semantic Changes (TAKE NOTE):
+
+Channel keys and passwords (see the "oplevels" enhancement below)
+listed in a JOIN are now only checked against the corresponding
+channel.  In ircu2.10.11, "JOIN #a,#b key" would attempt to use "key"
+as the key for both #a and #b.  ircu2.10.12 will only attempt to use
+it as the key for #a.  ircu2.10.12's behavior matches that documented
+in RFC 1459.

+A new channel mode, +D, has been added for auditorium-style channels.
+These are channels where most users listen but do not speak or receive
+ops or voice.  The effect of +D is that the server waits to send the
+JOIN message for new users until the user gets ops or voice or sends a
+message to the channel.  A list of join-delayed users in a channel may
+be retrieved by using /NAMES -d #channel.  The response to /NAMES -d
+uses the same format as numeric 353, but uses numeric 355 instead. If
+an op removes +D while there are still join-delayed users, the server
+automatically sets mode +d, and removes +d when the last user's join
+is shown.  It is not possible to set channel mode +d manually; its
+purpose is to warn channel users that there are "hidden" users in the
+channel.

 More than one hashing mechanism is now supported for oper passwords,
 and a new tool (ircd/umkpasswd) is provided to generate them.

+Client blocks (previously I: lines), Operator blocks (previously O:
+and o: lines), channel bans and silences may use CIDR notation instead
+of simple wildcards.  You may also have silence exceptions by putting
+'~' before the mask; for example, if you wish to silence everyone
+except X, you could use SILENCE *!*@*,~X!cservice@undernet.org.
+
+The server will no longer kick "net riders" in keyed (+k) channels if
+both sides of the net join have the same key.
+
+IP masks (as used in bans, G-lines, etc) are now parsed in a more
+forgiving manner.  127.0.0.0/8, 127.* and 127/8 are all accepted and
+mean the same thing.  Ambiguous expressions like 127/8 are interpreted
+as IPv4 masks; to interpret it as an IPv6 mask, use 127:/8.
