38 > o) Completely rewrote build system. We're now using automake and libtool

48 > o) Fixed topic desynchronization which sometimes may
49 >   happen during netbursts
50 > o) WATCH support implemented. Known from other irc-daemons, such
51 >   as Dreamforge and Bahamut. The general::max_watch configuration directive
52 >   has been added in order to allow run-time configuration of how many
53 >   watch entries a single client may have on its watchlist.
54 > o) Fixed bug which would cause invalid invisible counts on oper-up in case
55 >   operator::umodes and/or general::oper_umodes contains 'invisible'
