         found by [nop]

         deop and kick remove the autoflag.
         found usefull by me

       - fixed a bug in 005-Prefix-handling.
         saved channels on rejoin did not get
         the active users Prefix-modes, but the
         standard @+ modes. Result: wrong mode-handling.
         found by scr00ge

         notice.
         suggested by different users.

Version 2.3.1-6:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
05-16-02   - added multiclient-support. You can use as many clients
             as you wish to login into psybnc, older connections wont
         get overridden by a new inbound connection. you can
         disable this by using
         #define NOMULTICLIENT
         in the config.h - file before compilation.
         suggested by Snq and Getty
       - moved ncurses back to 'make menuconfig'. If you are
             using the old curses-library, try make menuconfig-curses.
         not compatible to old curses-implementations.
       - Readded systemmessages for networks. The bouncer did not
         give any systemnotice to the user about network-connects 
         and disconnects.
       - Moved all system-notices to Messages from the nick -psyBNC.
         Also enabled to let the user directly send messages to
         -psyBNC, which would be handled as like commands.
         This is a kind of "psyBNC-Console".
         found usefull by me
       - ADDDCC without SSL support did not work. A cryptic error
         was given when a user tried to connect using ADDDCC.
         Found by Jens and others
       - Added oidentd2-Support
         thanks to Andi
       - When a ssl-Connect was not successfull, a listener-
         socket got closed. This resulted in an infinite Loop
         found by warlock
       - Added italian language to the lng-files.
         Thanks to 'Ard\ZzZz
       - Added asynchroneous resolving.
         Currently this is disabled on default, because the
         implementation is experimental.
         Idea by Aaron-[FGW]
       - Removed random nicks, if nick isnt available.
         The nick will be finished by a number, if the nick
         isnt available, e. g. psychoid would become _psychoid, if
         that nick would not be available as well, psychoi22.
         Requested by fighter, inFECT and p.
       - Added additional stoned check every 120 seconds for 240 seconds
         possible delay of server response. The delay to check a stoned
         server can be defined by
         #define STONECHECKDELAY nn
         e.g.
         #define STONECHECKDELAY 300
         and the waiting delay for an answer from the server before
         disconnect can be set by using
         #define STONETIME nn
         e.g.
         #define STONETIME 240
         Requested by fighter and inFECT
       - Improved Nick regain. Tries to regain nick all 10 seconds.
         Requested by fighter and inFECT
       - Added login penalty. If 3 tries of login are answered with
         a false password, futher logins in a time of 10 minutes
         plus random seconds (max. 50) dont succeed. This is thought to
         disallow bruteforce-cracking of psybnc-Passwords from known
         logins.
         Suggested by different users
       - fixed a segfault in menuconfig
         found by Andi 
       - fixed dcc-handling without using the own VHOST for connects
         found by sebi
       - removed the reference to gettxt(), it had collisions with
         solaris 5.8 using a standard-gettxt() implementation.
         found by Cajoline
       - changed VHOST to BVHOST. This was needed, because some
         ircds offer an inbuild VHOST-Command.
         suggested by different users.         
       - changed BVHOST to be usable by admins for other users.
         just use BVHOST username :host if you are an admin.
         suggested by different users.
       - added network-deletion on userdeletion.
         found by me     
           - added own messages to appear on
         the other own clients, if multiclients
         are connected
         requested by Snq
       - added prefix (servermsg. 005) handling.
         suggested by yath (sorry, no Prefixnames needed)
       - passwordchanges only changed the password for the
         main network
         found by getty
       - askop/autoop also where triggered, when the user
         had no op.
         found by ZZyZZ and denniz
       - fixed a segfault in user deletion
         found by Polobeer
       - fixed a bug in curses menuconf. Double usage
         of variable and call in menubox.c, and a
         reference to ncurses.h in dialog.h
         found by Snq
       - removed static compilation. Possibly its more safe
         on ptrace sniffing to compile a static binary, but on
         the other hand a static binary consumes too many resources
         and is problematic to compile on different os/archs, and
         it also wont compile with shared ssl-libraries.
         found usefull by me
             
Version 2.3:

date       boog/enhancement
----------------------------------------------------------------------
01-22-02   - Bug in Channel-Encryption solved by appending a 
             key checksum inside of the encrypted text.
         e.g <user> [B]text text text <1522>.
         If checksum doesnt match the known value,
         you can be pretty sure the given text is spoofed.
         found by Brian Rhea

Version 2.2:

date       boog/enhancement
----------------------------------------------------------------------
08-13-00   - Changed the mode handling for scripting, so
             every single mode will be handed over.
       - Added timeouts to resolves
08-05-00   - Added SWITCHNET to switch from the main to another
             network.
       - Added LEAVEQUIT to leave all channels when signing off
       - Added LEAVEMSG $QUIT, if set to $QUIT, the leavemsg will
         be posted from the text to the quitmessage
       - made a cronny script
07-20-00   - Added scripting (cgi-stylish)
             See the readme and the litte example script
         in scripts/example.
       - Added DCC Chat & Files
         Allows you to dcc chat directly from the
         bouncer and to receive/send files from and
         to the shell.
         DCCCHATS are to be enabled with
         #define DCCCHAT
         and DCC File send/receive with
         #define DCCFILES
       - IPv6 Support
         psyBNC allows from version 2.2 the support
         of IPv6 in every mean. This includes listening
         and connecting to IPv6 hosts. Also implemented
         is DCC CHAT6 and DCC SEND6, but this is
         still experimental, and only hell knows, if
         it will be solved the way psybnc uses it.
       - Support of oIdentd added
         psyBNC allows the method of ident spoofing
         oIdentd supports. 
         Use
         #define OIDENTD
         in the config.h File to enable it.
       - Moved all single INI-Files to one config file
         called psybnc.conf by default.
       - Multiple Listeners
         psyBNC can listen on as many ips and Ports
         as which are defined in the psybnc.conf file.
         This also allows to listen on an intranet ip
         and not as it was in 2.1 only on ALL interfaces.
       - Moved channels/names to internal 
         This allows names and channelspecific informations
         much faster to be sent to the user, and will
         not create traffic on the server when the user
         rejoins psyBNC.
       - Reorganized string routines, reorganized socket
         string builds.
       - Invented an internal ircd into psybnc, which 
         can be adressed by using int~ as token.
         This will be shared thruout the linked
         network of psybnc, and allows all modes
         including kicks/bans/op/voice.
         This was done to replace the old &partyline,
         which still can be used by setting the 
         compiling option.
         The internal network can be enabled by entering
         #define INTNET
         and the old partyline channel by
         #define PARTYCHANNEL
         to the config.h File.
       - Flood protection
         The serverside socket will wait for a server
         reply before sending additional strings to
         the server. This allows sending many lines
         of text without getting flooded. The maximum
         same total number of bytes is set to 700.
       - Singleusermode / Multiusermode
         If Multiusermode is disabled, the login has
         not to fit to the added user, only the
         password is being checked. Also, the user
         may not add any other users than himself.
         Multiusermode gets defined with 
         #define MULTIUSER
         and singleusermode will be active, when
         MULTIUSER is not defined.
       - Anonymous Mode
         This allows to open the proxy for anonymous
         users, so every login would be successfull.
         Will be enabled with #define ANONYMOUS.
       - Dynamic Mode
         This will kill the server connection after
         a user signed off from the bouncer.
         Will be enabled with #define DYNAMIC
       - Provider Configuration
         The shellprovider can define a global
         psyBNC config.h by putting this into
         /psybnc/config.h. On Compilation that
         config will be used.
       - Bugfixes in Networking
         The user did not see modes or nickchanges
         correctly on secondary networks.
       - The possibility to switch networks off
         by removing the NETWORK define from
         the config.h, the user cannot create any
         new Networks.
       - Bugfixes in Parsing
         Some Bugs in Parsing of IRC-Strings
         could crash the bouncer.
         This has been solved with 2.2.
       - Wrote a menuconfiguration with GUI
         for psyBNC.
         Just use 
         make menuconfig
         to start it.
       - Deleted the os specific makefiles and
         replaced them with a selfdetecting 
         configuration tool, which will sense
         the abilities of the system.
