#	Line 1 | Line 1
1	+	-- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.37 (202?-??-??)
2	+	* Implemented IRCv3 `CAP 302`
3	+	* Implemented IRCv3 `cap-notify` capability
4	+	* Implemented IRCv3.2 `echo-message` capability
5	+
6	+
7	+	-- Noteworthy changes in version 8.2.36 (2020-12-04)
8	+	* The old WATCH implementation has been replaced with IRCv3.2 MONITOR. For this,
9	+	the `general::max_watch` configuration directive has been renamed to
10	+	`general::max_monitor`.
11	+	* User mode `B` has been implemented. Clients with that mode set are marked as a
12	+	bot in both `WHOIS` and `WHO`. This mode can only be set by IRC operators (as
13	+	long as the `bot` directive is set in `general::oper_only_umodes`), servers,
14	+	and services.
15	+	This mode can for example be used to mark HOPM as official network bot.
