+
+### build
+- Build system has been converted to libtool + automake for sanity reasons.
+- The compile date is now set at configure time rather than build time, allowing for
+  reproducible builds. (#148, #149)
+- Support for GNUTLS 3.4 has been added.
+
+### user
+- Import the ability to exceed MAXCHANNELS from ircd-seven.
+- Implement IRCv3.2 enhanced capability negotiation (`CAP LS 302`).
+- Implement support for receiving and sending IRCv3 message tags.
+- Implement IRCv3.2 capabilities: (#141)
+  - account-tag
+  - echo-message
+  - invite-notify
+  - sasl
+  - server-time
+- SASL: certificate fingerprints are now always sent to the SASL agent, allowing for
+  the certificate to be used as a second authentication factor.
+
+### oper
+- Merge several features from ircd-seven:
+  - Implement support for remote DIE/RESTART.
+  - Implement support for remote MODLOAD et al commands.
+  - Add the GRANT command which allows for temporarily opering a client.
+  - Implement the hidden oper-only channel modes framework.
+  - Implement a channel mode that disallows kicking IRC operators (+M).
+- Enhance the oper override system, allowing more flexibility and detail
+  in network-wide notices.
+
+### conf
+- Add the ability to strip color codes from topics unconditionally.
+
+### docs
+- The documentation has been cleaned up; obsolete files have been purged, and
+  stuff has been renamed and shuffled around to be more consistent.
+
+### code
+- irc_dictionary and irc_radixtree stuff is now in librb, prefixed accordingly.
+  Typedefs have been added for consistency reasons. For example, now you would
+  write `rb_dictionary *foo` and `RB_DICTIONARY_FOREACH`.
+- C99 bools have been added. Don't use ints as simple true/false flags anymore.
+  Accordingly, the `YES`/`NO` and `TRUE`/`FALSE` macros have been removed.
+- libratbox has been renamed to librb, as we have diverged from upstream long
+  ago.
+- Almost all 2.8-style hashtable structures have been moved to dictionaries or
+  radix trees, resulting in significant memory savings.
+- The block allocator has been disabled and is no longer used.
+- The ratbox client capabilities have been ported to use the ircd capabilities
+  framework, allowing for modules to provide capabilities.
+- Support for restarting ssld has been added.  ssld processes which are still
+  servicing clients will remain in use, but not service new connections, and
+  are garbage collected when they are no longer servicing connections.
+- Support for ratbox-style 'iodebug' hooks has been removed.
