  34 <PRE>&gt;<i>- I enabled encryption for the first time when using 5.1, and dumped
  35 </I>&gt;<i>the XML output to file immediately afterwards to see the results
  36 </I>&gt;<i>(after saving the databases, obviously). I noticed that all the
  37 </I>&gt;<i>channel founder passwords had &quot;cipher=md5&quot; included in the XML tag,
  38 </I>&gt;<i>even when the passwords were still unencrypted. (The nickname
  39 </I>&gt;<i>passwords appear to be fine though.) If you want me to, I can
  40 </I>&gt;<i>privately send you the XML file so you can see what I'm talking about
  41 </I>&gt;<i>- it's not very big (only 3 nicks and 10 channels).
  42 </I>
  43      I'll take a look into this, thanks for the report.
  44
  45 &gt;<i>- Is there any way that news items can be included in the XML dump? I
  46 </I>&gt;<i>don't know about the rest of the users out there, but I personally
  47 </I>&gt;<i>find it very annoying having to manually re-enter them after restoring
  48 </I>&gt;<i>corrupt databases, transferring my data between versions 5.0 and 5.1,
  49 </I>&gt;<i>etc.
  50 </I>
  51      I did not initially include news items because I couldn't think of a
  52 case where they'd be handy; since you give some here, I'll look into adding
  53 them.
  54
  55 &gt;<i>- I can understand your reasons for removing support for the channel
  56 </I>&gt;<i>owner mode, but I think that there might be some controversy over this
  57 </I>&gt;<i>one. Would it be possible for third party module coders to add support
  58 </I>&gt;<i>for this mode? (For the record, the aforementioned module coder won't
  59 </I>&gt;<i>be me; I don't know any C :P)
  60 </I>
  61      Yes, the necessary callbacks and exported functions are present (or
  62 should be, anyway, and I can fix things if not).
