+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.

+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.
