 new configuration options
@@ -11,9 +17,17 @@ new configuration options
   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.

 - 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.

+server protocol
+- Add new BAN command, for propagated network-wide bans (K/X:lines and RESVs).
+  These will burst to new servers as they are introduced, and will stay in sync
+  across the whole network (new BAN capab).
+- Add new MLOCK command, to implement ircd-side channel mode locks. This allows
+  services to send out a list of mode letters for a given channel which may not
+  be changed, preventing mode fights between services and client bots (new MLOCK
+  capab).
+user
+- New RPL_QUIETLIST(728) and RPL_ENDOFQUIETLIST(729) numerics are used for the
+  quiet (+q) list, instead of overloading the ban list numerics.
+- Users may no longer change the topic of a -t channel if they cannot send to
+  it.
+- Add help for EXTBAN, describing the syntax of extended bans in general, as
+  well as the most common types.
+- Changed AWAY messages are now propagated to other servers. Previously, AWAY
+  was only propagated when the user was not already away.
+- Channel mode +c (and other places that disallow colour codes) now also strip
+  ASCII 29 (mIRC 7 italics).
+- Add auto-accept for user mode +g (callerid): Messaging a user while set +g
+  will automatically add them to your accept list.
+- Add target change for channels.  It applies to unopped, unvoiced and unopered
+  users.  This has the effect of stopping spambots which join, message and part
+  many channels at a time.
+- Show RPL_WHOISLOGGEDIN in /whowas as well as in /whois entries.  This adds at
+  most an additional 0.5MB of memory usage.
+oper
+config
+- Add general::use_propagated_bans to switch the new BAN system on or off.
+- Add general::default_ident_timeout, to control the timeout for identd (auth)
+  connections.
+- Add channel::channel_target_change to switch the new channel target change limits
+  on or off.
+- Fix class::number_per_ident so that it also applies to connections without
+  identd.
+- Change the example sslport option to 6697, which is more standard than 9999.
+misc
+- The custom channel mode API has been rewritten, allowing these modules to work
+  correctly when reloaded, or loaded from the config file.
+- The EFNet RBL is now recommended, instead of DroneBL.
+- Remove the unsupported modules directory.
+- Numerous bug fixes and code cleanups.
+- In mkpasswd, default to MD5 crypt instead of insecure DES.
