ircu2.10.11, but some features (notably IPv6 support and oplevels) are
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.
+
Enhancements:
The configuration file format has changed to one that is easier to
when you join using those keys. Part of this channel protection is
that you cannot be deopped in channel by someone who you opped.
+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.
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.
+
Configuration Changes:
As mentioned above, the configuration file format has changed
Deleted features since they are now controlled by other configuration
entries: VIRTUAL_HOST, oper and locop privilege features.
+Deleted feature since it no longer applies: HIS_STATS_h.
