548     the module's data structure; THIS_MODULE made implicit
549     in relevant modules.c function calls.
550     2004/08/13 Channel mode locks are now stored as strings rather than
551     bitmasks in the on-disk database.
552     2004/08/12 NickServ LIST/LISTEMAIL and ChanServ LIST now display "no
553     matches" instead of "0/0 matches shown" if no matches.

557     now performs the same function.
558     2004/08/12 Added MaxMessages configuration directive to mail/main module.

573     registered or linked.
574     2004/08/05 Add note about increasing stack size on AmigaOS. Reported
575     by Michael Trebilcock <trebs@ihug.com.au>
576     2004/08/04 Added NickServ RESTOREMAIL command, which allows a user to

580     changed.

587     directory sitting around when run with -check.
588     2004/08/03 Added ACCLEV_DEFAULT constant and use instead of allocating
589     and freeing ci->levels to indicate defaults. Changes
590     to the default level values will now be reflected
591     immediately in channels which have not changed that
592     particular level.
593     2004/08/03 Added IP address check to match_usermask(), and removed
594     special cases scattered throughout the code. As a
595     result, memo ignore and autokick now also work with IP
596     addresses.
597     2004/07/29 MODE -o+v from a user on themselves no longer causes
598     ChanServ to remove the +v. Reported by

602     dropped channels.

605     done with the DROPCHAN command.
606     2004/07/28 The configure script now checks that pointers have a sane size.
607     2004/07/28 Pseudoclients are no longer set +o on servers where they

609     <beng@nc.rr.com>

625     memory with arbitrary values to catch misuse of
626     uninitialized or freed memory.

628     Kieron Thwaites <ron2k@webmail.co.za>
629     2004/07/13 Removed Italian and Portuguese language files, which were
630     hopelessly out of date.

654     2006/06/22 .58 Added workaround to support the broken MD5 encryption used
655     in Epona/Anope (through at least version 1.7.14),
656     enabled by the EnableAnopeWorkaround option for the
657     encryption/md5 module in modules.conf. Reported by
658     Gabriel Baez <gabriel.baez@solid-ircd.com>
659     2006/06/22 configure -check (run by the Makefile) no longer leaves a
660     conf-tmp directory lying around.

669     by A.S. <loverboy@irc.doruk.net.tr>
670     2006/01/20 Fixed a bug in the Cygnus database converter causing
671     autokills with invalid expiration data to expire
672     immediately rather than remain with no expiration time.
673     2006/01/07 Fixed a cosmetic bug in ChanServ LIST causing the no-expire
674     flag "!" to not be shown for suspended channels.

679     use of spaces in passwords.

992     databases on full filesystems. Reported by
993     <us44ever@hotmail.com>
994     2003/10/29 Fixed minor bugs in convert-db, and added checks to the

998     Suggested by Jamie Penman-Smithson <jamie@chatnplay.net>

1003     2003/10/24 Added note to ListenTo directive documentation concerning
1004     the usage of low port numbers.
