1	+	-- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.34 (2020-??-??)
2	+	* For consistency, the `general::network_desc` configuration directive has been
3	+	renamed to `general::network_description`
4	+	* Server notices that previously have been sent to user modes +f and +u are now
5	+	sent to user mode +j (reject notices) instead. Due to this change, `unauth` and
6	+	`full` have been removed from `general::oper_only_umodes`, `general::oper_umodes`,
7	+	and `operator::umodes`.
8	+	* User mode +b has been replaced with +f (flood). Spam/flood notices are now sent
9	+	to this user mode. For this, `bots` has been removed from
10	+	`general::oper_only_umodes`, `general::oper_umodes`, and `operator::umodes`.
11	+	`flood` has been added instead to these configuration directives.
