   3 - IPv6 Support
   4 - Two-factor authentication support for users (TOTP)
   5 - Improved channel registration traffic checking (potentially speeding up channel registrations)
   6 - New IPR system (IPR, TOTP, TOTP+IPR) -- including temporary entries and CIDR support
   7 - New users are now automatically registered with INVISIBLE=ON
   8 - Welcome messages and/or topics from X upon new channel registration
   9 - X sets AUTOJOIN (and joins) channel automatically on new registration
  10 - X immediately auto-ops itself when joining channel
  11 - X now allows permanent bans with duration '0' (and the parser allows up to 365d in length too)
  12 - X now processes channel flags (NOOP, STRICTOP) and user access suspensions when it rejoins a channel and acts accordingly
  13 - X now has a fun 'StarWars' (SW) language
  14 - Allow established users to register multiple channels (same logic as MAXLOGINS for up to 3 channels for now)
  15 - LoC (login-on-connect) -- authenticate during server connection and optionally set umode +x automatically  ***
  16 - Drone scan clients during server connection rather than afterwards (disallows fast drones to connect, join channels, and flood before being G-Lined)
