+
+Tim Miller <cerebus@bu-pub.bu.edu>: various server and client-breaking
+features.
+
+Darren Reed <avalon@coombs.anu.edu.au>: various bug fixes and enhancements.
+Introduced nickname and channelname hash tables into the server.
+
+The version 2.2 release was coordinated by Mike Bolotski
+<mikeb@salmon.ee.ubc.ca>.
+
+The version 2.4 release was coordinated by Markku Savela and
+Chelsea Ashley Dyerman
+
+The version 2.5.2 release was coordinated by Christopher Davis, Helen Rose,
+and Tom Hopkins.
+
+The versions 2.6.2, 2.7 and 2.8 releases were coordinated by Darren Reed.
+
+Contributions for the 2.8 release from the following people:
+Matthew Green <phone@coombs.anu.edu.au>
+Chuck Kane <ckane@ece.uiuc.edu>
+Matt Lyle <matt@oc.com>
+Vesa Ruokonen <ruokonen@lut.fi>
+
+Markku Savela <Markku.Savela@vtt.fi> / April 1990
+Fixed various bugs in 2.2PL1 release server (2.2msa.4) and changed
+sockets to use non-blocking mode (2.2msa.9). [I have absolutely
+nothing to do with clients :-]
+
+Chelsea Ashley Dyerman <chelsea@earth.cchem.berkeley.edu> / April 1990
+Rewrote the Makefiles, restructuring of source tree. Added libIrcd.a to
+the Makefile macros, numerous reformatting of server text messages, and
+added mkversion.sh to keep track of compilation statistics. Numerous
+bug fixes and enhancements, and co-coordinator of the 2.4 release.
+
+Jarle Lyngaas (nmijl@alf.uib.no) added Note functions to ircd.
+
+Armin Gruner <gruner@informatik.tu-muenchen.de> / May, June 1990:
+* Patched KILL-line feature for ircd.conf, works now.
+ Enhancement: Time intervals can be specified in passwd-field.
+ Result: KILL-Line is only active during these intervals
+* Patched PRIVMSG handling, now OPER can specify masks for sending
+ private messages, advantage: msg to all at a specified server or host.
+* Little tests on irc 2.5 alpha, fixed some little typos in client code.
+ Change: common/debug.c has been moved to ircd/s_debug.c, and a
+ irc/c_debug.c has been created, for the benefit that wrong server msg
+ are displayed if client does not recognize them. (strange, if a server
+ sends an 'unknown command', isn't it?)
+
+Tom Hopkins <hoppie@buengf.bu.edu> / September, October 1990:
+* Patched msa's K lines for servers (Q lines).
+* Consolidated several patches, including Stealth's logging patch.
+* Fixed several minor bugs.
+* Has done lots of other stuff that I can't seem to remember, but he
+ always works on code, so he has to have done alot more than three
+ lines worth. :)
+
+Thanks go to those persons not mentioned here who have added their advice,
+opinions, and code to IRC.
