+ * WHOREPLY and NAMREPLY become numberics instead of strings.
+
+ * msa's patches to kick/mode to attempt to follow nick name changes
+
+ * spike's patches to get SUMMON to find last idle tty
+
+ * melazy's various DNS improvements.
+
+ * pjg's saber C check
+
+ * prefix changed for all server->client messages in which the origin
+ of the sender is a client to appear as follows:
+ nick!user@host
+
+ * TRACE output changed.
+
+ * # channel topics broadcast
+
+ * +-numeric channels removed from server
+
+ * numerics for TRACE output 201-209
+
+ * new switches for STATS: i,k,q,y
+
+ * numerics for stats output 211-219
+
+ * MODE changed to also operate on users
+
+ * deoper added as both mode and direct command. deoper sends out
+ ":user OPER -" to other servers. (from Kaizzu)
+
+ * XTRA/VOICE/GRAPH removed.
+
+ * MODE +a scrapped.
+
+ * added custom ANSI-compatible ctype macros to ensure speed
+
+ * user modes i,w,s,o implemented as follows:
+ i - invisible. over rides any channel mode for those external
+ to your channel. you are invisible.
+
+ w - receive wallops
+
+ s - receive local service notices (errors, etc)
+
+ o - operator flag. (can not be set currently except using the
+ OPER command).
+
+ * MODE +b added to ban a user from a channel using "nick!user@host" as
+ the mask to match to the user. If the user matches the ban mask they
+ are not allowed in. MODE +b with no parameters returns the list of
+ ban masks currently in place. MODE +b <mask> and MODE -b <mask>
+ add/delete a ban mask respectively.
+ Thanks to HulkHogan (andy@lingua.cltr.uq.oz.au) for defining what
+ we needed here and the 'BlackBall' approach.
+
+ * Operator passwords may now be stored in the ircd.conf file as the
+ encrypted plaintext. Crypt(3) is used to generate the matching
+ plaintext from the OPER command. Thanks to the following people
+ for help with this:
+ Sean Batt (sean@coombs.anu.edu.au),
+ Andy. M. Jones (andy@lingua.cltr.uq.oz.au),
+ Nelson Minar (minar@reed.edu).
+
+ * Server now creates "ircd.pid" file when booted. Holds the current
+ pid of the server.
+
+ * Each O and I line in the ircd.conf file may be linked only a number
+ of times equal to or the max. links value for the class they belong
+ to.
+
+ * Server stores results of any successful DNS lookups for servers so
+ that future lookups are not needed. A rehash will wipe all previous
+ lookup results and cause the server to start over. The server will
+ attempt to lookup each hostname in a C/N line on booting. This may
+ cause a delay during starting the server.
+
+ * All functions should be of the form "function_name", macros of the
+ form "MacroName" and constants as CONSTANT.
+
+ * Services are now treated with some respect. A service is associated
+ with an S-line in the ircd.conf. A service must send a NICK/SERVICE
+ pair on connecting to achieve service status.
+
+ * JOIN/PART now accept a list of channels in the first parameter with
+ each separated by a ",". eg "JOIN #foo,#bar,#foobar"
+
+ * A hopcount for the distance to nicknames and servers has been
+ introduced (for better or worse). It is passed as the second
+ parameter to both NICK and SERVER.
+ WHO and LINKS both report the hopcount in the info field.
+
+ * Default for WALL and WALLOPS set "off"
+
+ * rearranged config.h
+
+ * ISON now returns nicknames with the actual case, i.e.
+ ISON wiz will answer WiZ
+
+New into 2.7.1
+
+ * STATS u, r, z
+ u - uptime
+ r - CPU useage stats
+ z - counts and shows current memory useage
+ r & z are only available if DEBUGMODE is defined in config.h
+
+ * GETHOST which forces all reverse lookups of ip#'s to also match
+ when doing a forward lookup of the hostname returned.
+
+ * SENDQ_ALWAYS buffering policy for sending data over links.
+ (Server tries to buffer as much data as possible before attempting
+ a write).
+
+New into 2.7.2
+
+ * NOTE (once again appears and in much better state)
+
+ * WHOWAS gives a list of known users of the nick in question
+ rather than just the most recent.
+
+ * Server can accept both server and client connections via a unix
+ domain socket. This provides greater security and reliability for
+ connections between the host and itself. (#define UNIXPORT)
+
+ * STATS C reports L-lines: New Numeric 241
+
+ * #define for showing all users the invisible count from LUSERS
