 ### Enhancements:
+* New [Extended ban](https://www.unrealircd.org/docs/Extended_bans#Group_4:_special)
+  to inherit channel bans from another channel:
+  * If in channel `#test` you add `+b ~inherit:#main` then anyone banned in
+    `#main` will be unable to join `#test`.
+  * This only applies for on-join ban checking, not for quiet bans,
+    nick-changes, text bans, etc.
+  * If the other channel (`#main` in this example) also has `~inherit` bans
+    then we do not follow these (no nesting).
+  * The maximum number of ~inherit bans in a channel is limited to only
+    1 by default, see
+    [set::max-inherit-extended-bans](https://www.unrealircd.org/docs/Set_block#set::max-inherit-extended-bans)
+  * This can also be used in `+I`, which entries are counted separately and
+    have their own limit.
 * We now support vhost::auto-login, which means you can set vhosts on users
   automatically and we support variables in vhost::vhost (this works similar
   to Gottem's autovhost module).

 ### Developers and protocol:
 * The `MD` S2S command now supports `BIGLINES`, allowing synching of 16K
   serialized moddata per entry. We don't plan to use this anytime soon,
   this is mostly so all UnrealIRCd servers support this in a year or
