+- change kicknorejoin to not be a config option and be hardcoded to 2 seconds
+  because a longer time is kind of pointless.
+
 -- shadowircd-6.1.0
 
 new configuration options
 - general::static_quit - Quit message to display for all users (not opers).
 - general::no_part_messages - If this option is set to no, the ircd will not
   display PART messages/reasons from users.
+- general::true_no_oper_flood - Turns off *ALL* flood protection for opers.
+  Instead of command flooding being 4x what it is for a user with no_oper_flood,
+  there is no limit at all. This option also allows opers to flood channels/users
+  so if you do set it, be extremely careful.
+- serverinfo::helpchan and helpurl - These are 2 config options that tell users,
+  when they do /quote help (with no extra parameters) the official network help
+  channel and a special URL for help. If these options are disabled, the users
+  will just get the help index and that's it on /quote help.
+- general::default_ident_timeout - Allows you to set the default ident timeout
+  in the ircd.conf instead of it being hardcoded and only settable with /SET.
 
 new commands
-- /CYCLE - server-side /CYCLE, also called /HOP in some clients/servers.
+- CYCLE #channel - server-side CYCLE, also called HOP in some clients/servers.
+  Parts the user from the given channel, then joins them to it immediately after.
+  Enabled by loading extensions/m_cycle.
 
 opers
 - Override no longer alows overriding opers to talk through +q, +m, etc.

   the offending mode or give yourself voice/ops.
 - OLIST now shows channel modes so opers can easily see which channels are
   +s and see which channels have oper-only channel modes set.
+- RESTART and DIE now can be executed remotely. See the appropriate helpfiles
+  for details.
+- All module management commands (MODLOAD, MODLIST, MODUNLOAD, MODRELOAD and
+  MODRESTART) can be executed remotely. See the appropriate helpfile for
+  details.
+- OMODE can now set and unset +ah.
+- OJOIN now works with !#channel and %#channel.
+- Staff channelmodes (+AO) now require chanops to set.
+- OPERHOST option added to SET. You can now use SET to change the default
+  operhost that operators get upon opering up, though like the 
+  general::default_operhost config option it will not override the 
+  operator::vhost config option.
+
+other
+- Added a strip_unprintable function to make evasion of cmodes +G and +K
+  less trivial.
+- Massive helpfile updates.
+- Added SVSJOIN s2s command. This allows things like atheme's ns_ajoin
+  to work on shadowircd.
+- Added BAN stuff (propogated bans on burst) from charybdis trunk. This
+  can be disabled and the old behavior can be used by setting the
+  general::use_propogated_bans option to no.
+- The --enable-small-net configure option is now enabled by default.
+  If you wish to disable small net mode, pass --disable-small-net to
+  configure.
+- New channel mode adding API has been added from charybdis trunk.
+- NOTICE/PRIVMSG @#channel and +#channel now go to admin/halfop as well
+  as chanop.
