The manual pages and documentation have been updated. A bug in the DNS error handling code that could prevent the daemon from establishing new server-links has been fixed. Support for numeric 329 "channel creation time" has been added.

User modes "c" (show connect/disconnect NOTICEs, required for e.g. BOPM) and "x" (hostname cloaking) have been implemented. Support for user authentication using PAM has been added. New configuration options "NoPAM", "NoZeroConf", and "SyslogFacility" were supplemented. The debug mode has been enhanced; the daemon can dump its internal state now. The power of IRC operators has been raised: now they can use MODE on any channel and always change channel modes.

The "WEBIRC" command, used by some Web IRC systems, and a new channel mode "secure connections only" have been implemented. The connection statistics displayed on login have been enhanced, and the limit of maximum configured IRC operators has been removed. Fixes for the build system, the documentation, and the daemon itself have been committed as well.

IRC operators are (optionally) allowed to connect and disconnect remote servers now. The SQUIT command has been enhanced to be usable for IRC operators too. A simple command throttling scheme has been implemented. SSL-only configurations are possible now, and quite a few bugs have been fixed.

A remotely triggerable crash in SSL/TLS code has been corrected, server list announcement has been fixed, and error handling on compressed links has been enhanced.
