+Unreal3.1.5-Valek Release Notes
+===================================
+
+* IMPORTANT: OperOverride has been modified. In order to be
+  able to override anything as an oper, you MUST have the letter
+  "v" in your O line flags!
+
+* This release is mostly a bug fix release. It resolves the
+  following issues as well as some others:
+    - Bug with /invite not propagating
+    - Bug with channel exempts being added multiple times
+    - Bug with channel exempts multiplying on synch (to resolve
+      this bug entirely *all* your servers must run 3.1.5)
+    - Bug with /userhost always displaying *
+    - Others (read the Changes file in .)
+
+* If you are upgrading from an earlier version (before 3.1.4),
+  please read the doc/RELEASE-NOTES.3.1.4 file as well. There
+  were numerous important/significant changes between 3.1.4 and
+  earlier versions.
+
+* Finally, read Unreal.nfo as usual AND THE DOCS in doc/.
